1
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: Welcome bird Gang on today's show, still very draft heavy.

2
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 1: We've given our takes on the Cardinals draft picks, so

3
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: now for some national perspective on the eight new faces.

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 1: What about the rest of the NFC West. We see

5
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: how our neighbors did. First, though some non draft news.

6
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,159
Speaker 1: It's Cardinals Cover two, Episode five sixty one, and it

7
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: starts now. Welcome to Cardinals Cover two with Craig Griolu

00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: and Mike Jarecki. Cardinals Cover two is presented by Hyundai,

00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:44,800

00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: Visit asy Cardinals dot Com, Slash podcasts. Going for Hopkins

11
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: one handed catch in a touchdown DeAndre Hopkins. Here's Craig

12
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: Griolu and Mike Jarecki. Before we get to the news

13
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: of day, MJ, why don't you tell everyone about the

14
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: spring cleaning you did? Now that the draft is over? Okay,

15
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: So normally when we get to January. You know how

16
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm about big boards, and obviously a lot of it's

17
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: based on juniors and seniors coming out. So I start

18
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: to build this this this draft folder, and again I

19
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: don't I don't pay attention to mocks. I just look

20
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: at big boards and you know, I'll look at you know,

21
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: some of the analytics sites. And then obviously, you know

22
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: when I look at Daniel Jeremiah or Kyper McShay, when

23
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: they start ranking the top ten at every position. So um,

24
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: I went back and you know, obviously the Cardinals players,

25
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: I kept everything about them, not that I had information,

26
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: you know, the guys around the on the third day,

27
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: but I actually deleted four hundred and seventy nine documents.

28
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: Four hundred and seventy nine. Is your computer your laptop

29
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: running a little bit faster? You know when it said

30
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: you want to delete the recycle Ben, they asked me always,

31
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: are you sure? And I just watched that it was

32
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: four hundred and seventy nine, so it didn't happen as

33
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: fast as like nineteen of them. So my computer is

34
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: running faster, and it's it's nice to now focus on

35
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: what happened. And we also we'll talk about the NFC

36
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: West and how they did. But I, you know, usually

37
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: on draft weekend, Craig and he come out on a Monday,

38
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: and you know, I know there's grades out there, and

39
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: I get it. It's really should great should be based

40
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: on what team needs were not. You know, we don't

41
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: know how good these these draft classes. We don't know.

42
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: The Jets obviously feel really good about there is when

43
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: you get three guys that you had ranked probably in

44
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: the top fifteen in the first round, that's awesome. But

45
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: the key is we've got to wait a couple of years.

46
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: Usually it's two or three years, but you know, we'll see.

47
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: But I do like this class and I feel good

48
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: about it. And one thing I noticed yesterday in the

49
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: in the last day of the draft, because we talked about,

50
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: you know, adding pass rushers, I think tight end was

51
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: the best available player. Um, the running back. You know,

52
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: you still want to you know, bringing the guy in

53
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: the third day, but really, when you look at Steve Common,

54
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: and usually it's the macho we're taking the best available player.

55
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: We're not gonna we're not gonna force a pick if

56
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: this guy they drafted based on needs yesterday. And I

57
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,839
Speaker 1: think we're starting to see that where maybe a few

58
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: years ago, you can have one scout or somebody who's

59
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: banging the table for a guy, always looking for the

60
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: diamond in a rough all and I get it. And

61
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: sometimes you got to go through the process. But here

62
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: they won with needs. And the fact is, I, you know,

63
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: I like every single pick um, some more than better others,

64
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: just because I you know, I look at Cameron Thomas

65
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: and he reminds me of this guy that's just going

66
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: to be a special team's demon get to the quarterback.

67
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: So I like what they did. And you know, I

68
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: don't know about anything about Christian Matthew, Um, I do

69
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: know about these two linemans, Smith and Hayes that they got.

70
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: They got some anchor and it's going to help the

71
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: depth of that position. So again, how do you know,

72
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: We don't know, but I definitely think that they filled

73
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: some needs spaced on what they were able to do

74
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: in free agency. We know that can be cost effective

75
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: when you have to go out there and spend money

76
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: at a certain position. Three edge rushers, two offensive guards,

77
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: one tied end, one running back, one cornerback. Four on offense,

78
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: four on defense. That's what the Cardinals accomplished over the weekend.

79
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: And yes, a little bit less paperwork now each of

80
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: our workstations based off the number of NFL prospects that

81
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: we've kind of studied and learned, now we can just

82
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: narrow that focus down to eight instead of eight hundred.

83
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: Wasn't that many, but you get the idea. It's always

84
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: interesting because you know, you get the first round and

85
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: then everyone Belichick actually said, it's really three drafts. You

86
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: go back and set your board after the first night,

87
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: and then you go back and set your board after

88
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: the second night, and then you set your board for

89
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: the third day. And to me, some of those players

90
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: that we talked about in the top fifty, you started

91
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,799
Speaker 1: to see some of those names in the third round,

92
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: so you know, it wasn't like a foreign name to

93
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: me where out You know, you study enough information and

94
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: then you know, we always focus on what position do

95
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: they need? And you know what's the depth chart at

96
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: that position? So we you and I focus a lot

97
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: on the edge rushers, wide receivers, cornerbacks, d Lineman, you know,

98
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: Davis and Wyatt, and so you started to learn about

99
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: some of these other positions and next year it could

100
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: be completely different when it comes to needs. We've got

101
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: some draft grades and some other breakdowns. You mentioned what

102
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: the NFC West did over the weekend. We'll get to

103
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: all that. The Cardinals didn't make a roster move, but

104
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: there is also some other news, and this is coming

105
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: to us here Monday afternoon and readily admitted burg Gang,

106
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: this is not good news. DeAndre Hopkins suspended the first

107
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: six games of the regular season the NFL. We're releasing

108
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: this statement. DeAndre Hopkins or the Arizona Cardinals has been

109
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: suspended without pay for the first six games or the

110
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty regular season for violating the NFL Policy on

111
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: Performance Enhancing substances. Hopkins is eligible to participate in all

112
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: preseason practices and games. He will be allowed to return

113
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: to the Cardinals active roster following the team's sixth regular

114
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: season game. That is the statements from an NFL spokesperson.

115
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: We have not heard from the Arizona Cardinals. Have not

116
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: heard as we talk here on this Monday, from DeAndre Hopkins.

117
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: But obviously this certainly throws a wrench into this upcoming season.

118
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: There'll be plenty of time to figure out the ins

119
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: and outs. All right, what do you do now? But

120
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: this is something that after the high of three days

121
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: talking about new faces, now all of a sudden, Monday

122
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: comes and you're dealt with this and it's a major blow. Yeah,

123
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: And I guess if there's a silver lining and again,

124
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: this is this is not good considering how much they

125
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: missed him last year. But I really have it happened

126
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: early in this season, late in the season. I know,

127
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: you don't choose that. That's how the process works. And

128
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: you know, really this is a league issue now with

129
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, and so they'll have plenty of time to

130
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: kind of figure it out because last year, we know

131
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: Craig from a football stampoint how much they missed him.

132
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: But you know, clearly he'll be fully healthy and you know,

133
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: hopefully he can come back and have a really good

134
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: season because they're gonna need him. But this is going

135
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: to allow some other guys to step up. And as

136
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: you said, we'll have plenty of time to figure it out.

137
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: But at least this didn't happen, you know, the day

138
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: before the season all of a sudden, you got it.

139
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: You're scrambling. Okay, we put this system in for him

140
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: and certain routes, and again you were the first guy

141
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: last year figured out. Well, I'm gonna go with your

142
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: your your words here figured out. You got plenty of

143
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: time to figure this out, and that means other guys

144
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: will have to step up. Well, part of that figuring

145
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: out is the acquisition of Marquis Brown. Now we don't

146
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: know when the Cardinals were aware of this absence that

147
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: Hopkins is going to miss six games, but did a

148
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: play a factor? Who knows. But now you do have

149
00:07:54,920 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: Marquis Brown, AJ Green, that resigny looms much larger the

150
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: retaining of zach Ertz. Once again, all of this is

151
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: again not mitigating what is going on. But to your point, MJ,

152
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: when we hear from either the general manager or the

153
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: head coach, then we can kind of figure out and

154
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: play armchair quarterback as far as all right, now, what

155
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: do you do? You've got six games without number ten

156
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: and then you have to figure out how the way

157
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: to insert him back into the rotation at wide receiver. Well, again,

158
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: this is me just connecting dots based on you know,

159
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: zach Ertz under contract three more years and we'll see,

160
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: wait and see. I'm not really concerned about Max Williams

161
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: until we get to the regular season. But Trey McBride,

162
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: this guy you want. You can run twelve personnel, and

163
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: so maybe we see a little bit more twelve personnel

164
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 1: and then you know, with the situation at running back,

165
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: the one two punch now with Ingram and Connor. You

166
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: can still run the ball and be physical to line

167
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, So maybe we see more twelve personnel. I

168
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: think this precludes them from technically you're trying to go

169
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: four wide or five wide now because you're taking because

170
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: teams will roll coverage over and that means somebody's getting open.

171
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: I still think the underneath routes are going to be

172
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: available for a lot of these guys. So it wouldn't

173
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: surprise me if they lean on twelve personnel eleven personnels

174
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: with their bases, But we look at ten personnel and

175
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: they've been used more than any other team. I'm not

176
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: saying you can't do it because you can go three

177
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: wide and put Earth's out there as a slot guy.

178
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 1: But I do think we're going to see more twelve

179
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,239
Speaker 1: personnel with the addition and the development of Trey McBride.

180
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: Stay tuned, burd Gang, because we have not talked about

181
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: this only for the last time. This is certainly going

182
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: to be a talking point now for much of the offseason.

183
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: Speaking of the wide receiver position, the Cardinals did not

184
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: draft one. Was that a surprise. Remember what Kingsbury had

185
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: said going into the draft quote, I like what's in

186
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: the room yet six wide receivers are selected before the

187
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: Cardinals at number twenty three before they get to the

188
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: twentieth overall selection. Six wide receivers in the first eighteen picks,

189
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: and a promotion here for the Day Pash podcast, his

190
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: recent guests or his recent episode as Quentin Harris, vice

191
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: president of Player Personnel, with respects to the Brown acquisition

192
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: and kind of more of a timetable. Yeah, this had

193
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: been discussed, but it really came to fruition on draft

194
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: day on Thursday, and this is Harris quote, is Hollywood

195
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: Brown going to have more of an impact than anyone

196
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: that we were going to draft right now? And the

197
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: answer was yes. So at that point it was an

198
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: easy call for us end quote with respects too. All right,

199
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: who can we get at twenty three? Is that a

200
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: guy that is going to start week one and all

201
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: of a sudden be impactful to use Harris's word, Probably

202
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: not the odds certainly not in your favor. So all right,

203
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: let's go ahead, pick up the phone, tell the Ravens, yes,

204
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: we're in. Let's get Marquis Brown. I was intrigued with

205
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: some of these receivers as their draft process went. Obviously,

206
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: you take a look at Jamis Williams. I didn't think

207
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: he would drop. I started to zone on and maybe

208
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: zerlin on a guy like Johan Dotson Berks was intriguing.

209
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: But Steve, they reread the tea leaves here and there

210
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: were you know, the first seventy picks, fourteen receivers came

211
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: off the ball, so you know, and you could have

212
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: forced it a Christian Watson or Perkins up there, but

213
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: those guys were more late first, if not early second.

214
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: So he read the tea leaves, and I rather have

215
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: a proven player. Nothing against Ron del Moore, who's a

216
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: rookie and I think he's got a bright future. But

217
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: you know, listen, this guy, to me is an upgrade

218
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: over Christian Kirk. I can say that proven player is

219
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: the key word because I'm gonna give you the six

220
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: wide receivers that were selected, and nothing against any of

221
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: these six, but proven versus unknown Drake London, Garrett Wilson,

222
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: Chris Lave, Jamison Williams, Johan Dots, Treylon Brooks. All six

223
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: could be Hall of famers. All six we might not

224
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: be talking about in two years. Markis Brown at least

225
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: has a resume with respects to the pro game. And

226
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: you know he actually requested a trade two years ago,

227
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: and give him a ton of credit because it really

228
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: never got out. And they run a lot of twelve personnel.

229
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: They have Mark Andrews one of the best tightens in football.

230
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: They obviously rely on their running game and their quarterback running.

231
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: But he didn't light the offense. And so A, he

232
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: wants to be here. B he has a relationship with

233
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback. They played two years together under Lincoln Riley

234
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: at Oklahoma. They've been working out together. This is a

235
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: plug and play guy. And when hot returns, I mean

236
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: this offense could be explosive. Again that we'll have plenty

237
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: of time to talk about that, but I listen. Yes,

238
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: it's the first round pick. You own his rights for

239
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: the next two years, and then you can pick up

240
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,599
Speaker 1: the fifth year options. So it's not like he's in

241
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: a last sure of his contract and he wants to

242
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: be here. This is this is I don't know if

243
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: it was a dream, but when he started looking at

244
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: options in relationship with k one and obviously Kingsbury's offense,

245
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: he wants to be here. And I'll tell you what,

246
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: He's a really well round young man. I was thoroughly impressed.

247
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: You never know when you watch a distance. We only

248
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: see him with the helmet on. But he's very personable.

249
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: He doesn't mind being called Marquise or Hollywood. But I

250
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: just everything he said, really I was impressed with. So

251
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: I'll take the proven guy all day, Craig, because we

252
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: don't know about these guys, and that's not to say

253
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: they're not going to be good players. Peter King Football

254
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: Morning in America weighed in the Brown trade, wrote this,

255
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: the Hollywood trade was the best for both teams. He'll

256
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: have a chance to be the deep threat he never

257
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: could be in Baltimore. Two sentences and I think very

258
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: sacifically kind of mentions what you just talked about. What

259
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: the Ravens did as an offense. Sure there's room for

260
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: a Marquise Brown, but what the Cardinals do as an

261
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: offense much better fits for Mark Keith Brown. And he's

262
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: never played with a guy like hop. Now you can

263
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: say that he's probably could be the nimble and Roger

264
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: Suter just based on his history. I mean, first time

265
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: he uh, you know, clipped thousand yards. He has twenty

266
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: one touchdowns in three years. It really doesn't really miss

267
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: a lot of games. He had Liz Frank surgery, he

268
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: still was a first round pick. Um No, And I've

269
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: watched film on them and I'm thoroughly in precess. Just

270
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: the way he gets open. You know, usually on the

271
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: TV they show the ball and you see this guy

272
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: running and the ball's coming and he's always ahead of

273
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: the defensive backs. And that that's something I think we

274
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: want to see from Rondale Moore and Kirk was able

275
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: to do that. But you see it consistently on tape.

276
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: Why the Cardinals wanted to make this trade and give

277
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: up a first round pick and then they get a

278
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: fourth in third round, right sorry, one hundred pick overall,

279
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: and you look at that, and that became Mija Sanders.

280
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: So he's part of that trade right there. When when

281
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: the Cardinals and Ravens made the deal, this one final

282
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: note with respect to the first round and they Arizona

283
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: Cardinals a history lesson Mike Dreck. I know you're big

284
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: in the history, but and I did not know this.

285
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: It was stat whiz Mike helm and his Day three

286
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: draft notes. First time since nineteen ninety five the Cardinals

287
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: went without a pick in the first round first time

288
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety five. Do you know what happened in

289
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five? Now, burd Gang, we are really testing

290
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: the knowledge of one Mike DRECKI here on Cardinals cover two,

291
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: presented by Hunday, proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals. I

292
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: think they made a trade for Rob Moore. Oh my goodness.

293
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: And then I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm standing up, I'm

294
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: looking over. He's got he didn't He's got his computer,

295
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: but he didn't type anything. He's got no notes. But

296
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: you're right that year ninety five, the Cardinals traded first

297
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: round pick to the Jets for wide receiver Rob Moore.

298
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: I recall that that was my first training camp. Great

299
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: guy and Syracuse guy. Now there you go. You're gonna

300
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: say it before I had a chance to, by the way,

301
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: ninety five, I was still Syracuse. Wow. I was my

302
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: junior year. Yeah, that was the first year that I

303
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: think they hired Vince Tobin went to Flagstaff and I

304
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: got a chance to meet him, and I told him

305
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: how much I enjoyed watching him. And you know, I wasn't.

306
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: I didn't go to Syracuse and I didn't tell him.

307
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: Am I was from Buffalo. I told him I was

308
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: from Niagara Falls, and they wouldst enough, Yeah, exactly, and

309
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: still in the state, and they would have like a

310
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: frozen four like we would get Canisius, Saint Bonaventure, Niagara

311
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: and Syracuse to play. So I was able to go.

312
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: You know, he wasn't playing there, but the fact that

313
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: Syracuse they were. They were a big deal, as you know,

314
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: um growing up in upstate New York. I'm thoroughly impressed

315
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: that you But I meant you're gonna talk about maybe

316
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: I shouldn't, maybe I shouldn't have been. Maybe I just

317
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: should you know, assume but the problem would you assume? MJ.

318
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: You know that that happened? So I didn't. Well, there

319
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: was one year they had a supplemental draft. Okay, yeah,

320
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: and they don't strain yourself. Phone take the win, m

321
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: take the win. I think they drafted a guy he

322
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: never played for him. Yeah. That that was before I

323
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: was in Saint Louis And then the whole like Tom Tupa, Yah,

324
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: Tim rosenbal thing. Okay, Well, I'm glad I was able

325
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: to answer the question. Wow. Yeah, here's just made your

326
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: entire day, major entire week. Maybe the month. There's we

327
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: early on in the month of May. All right, we

328
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: always kind of discuss draft grades. You know, we know

329
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: what we think, we know what most the fans think,

330
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,479
Speaker 1: but the national perspective, and look, you were showing me

331
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: a website earlier was like seventy plus. It might have

332
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: been been up to eighty different mock drafts or more.

333
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: I'm not going through all the draft grades, but I

334
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: did pick out three that I think give a good

335
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 1: representation of what the Cardinals accomplished on Thursday, Friday, and

336
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: Saturday collectively in twenty twenty two. Mel Kiper Junior, ESPN,

337
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: Chad Reader, NFL dot Com, and Pro Football Focus. Those

338
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: are my three. And we've credit our others of course, yes,

339
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: and we've credited him throughout the process. Yes, Chad Reader

340
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: does he does a seven round mock draft, he does

341
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: the write ups, land Zerline does the scouting, but Chad

342
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 1: Reader he does all the write ups. And then we're

343
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: a big Daniel Jeremiah fan. And obviously, you know, let's

344
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: give mel Kiper credit because he really started all this

345
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: back in the day. Here's what Kiper wrote. Part of

346
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: what he wrote, Cameron Thomas, my J. Sanders two solid

347
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: defensive ends with different skill sets. Thomas could play some tackle,

348
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: while Sanders, who has a slim frame, is more of

349
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: a stand up edge rusher. They won't be instant replacements

350
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: for Chandler Jones, but I like the value. He ended

351
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: his write up with this, this is a sound, if

352
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: unspectacular class and gave the Cardinals a B. I'm very

353
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: I'm very impressed with that because I can certainly understand

354
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: the B. I get it now. We heard from general

355
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: Manners Steve kai and that Cameron Thomas and Sanders our

356
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: goal both going to be outside linebackers. There's the ability

357
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: of Thomas to play inside, put his hand in the dirt,

358
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: maybe line up next to JJ Watt. And on that

359
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: JJ Watt note, we also heard from come saying that

360
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: he texted and apologized to JJ because like Zach Allen,

361
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: Thomas was going to quote following him around like puppies,

362
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: and we heard that, and of course, you know, the

363
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: astute social media expert that JJ Watt is confirmed this

364
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: via social media that time texted him just that. But

365
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: Watt added this quote and as long as the puppies

366
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: like to work and our potty trained, they are always

367
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: welcome with me smiling face EMOCHI. So JJ Watt knows

368
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: exactly what he's going to walk into. What he meets

369
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: Cameron Thomas and my J. Sanders for the first time. Yeah,

370
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: you look at Cameron Thomas six four two sixty four.

371
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: He was invited to the Senior Bowls second team Associated

372
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: Press All American led the Mountain West with eleven and

373
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: a half sacks. You know, he's played in thirty six games,

374
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: thirty four starts. He's had one hundred and fifty five tackles,

375
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: three nine for loss, twenty one sacks. He's had forty

376
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: six quarterback hits. So he's a guy that's very active.

377
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: And when I got to Cardinals tweeted out a video

378
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: of him, a highlight video from the league. This is

379
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: the way this guy is tackling in the open field.

380
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: So I think he'll definitely have an opportunity to possibly

381
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: put his hand the dirt, play outside linebacker and then

382
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: play on special teams. Now, when you start looking at

383
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: my J. Sanders six four and three eights two forty two,

384
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: he was the second team first team All American Athletic

385
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: Crown for his two twenty and twenty one sixty two

386
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: quarterback procure led the acc according to Pro Football Focus,

387
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: and if you look at him, he's played in forty

388
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: eight games, thirty seven starts, he has one hundred and

389
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: fifteen tackles, twenty five tackles for losses, thirteen and a

390
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: half sacks, and he's hit the quarterback at least twenty

391
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: five times thirteen last year. So again, flod the position.

392
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: And I gotta think right now, Craig, all the six

393
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: outside backers they have, I don't know if there's a

394
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: room for someone else. I know you and I talked

395
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: about what's the other need, and we'll get into that.

396
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: I think it's going to have to be a veteran

397
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: defensive lineman to enter that group. I don't know who

398
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: you take out of this mix. Yeah, there's always trying

399
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: to get better, but I think D line is something

400
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: they probably should go after as a veteran guy. On

401
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: that point, because it was brought up on both Day

402
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: two and Day three at a time, and Kingsbury in fact,

403
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: on Day three it was Kime who brought up Chandler Jones.

404
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, excuse me, it was Kingsbury who brought up

405
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones with respect to the three edge rushers that

406
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: they drafted. Quote, you can never replace the Chandler Jones obviously,

407
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 1: but the group we have in that room now we're

408
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: excited about and we've just got to keep building it.

409
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: The day before and this is something that I know

410
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley has been talking a lot about. It was

411
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: Kingsbury again talking about his defensive coordinator vanch Joseph and

412
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: how great a job Joseph did of scheming things up

413
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: to use Kingsbury's words to get to the quarterback when

414
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones was hurt two seasons ago. So I get

415
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: all of that again. As I've said multiple times, two

416
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: seasons ago, this team had Hassan Reddick and Dennis Gardeck

417
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: come out of the blue. And I just don't know.

418
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: You don't have another Hassan Reddick. You'd have Marcus Golden.

419
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: But I don't think Dennis Gardeck. It's no knock on Guardick.

420
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: I just don't think he's going to surprise anybody. Now,

421
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: maybe there's someone else, is Victor d mccagee an opportunity

422
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: to surprise. But I think you're asking a lot from

423
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: the coaching staff because, as our good friend Bertrand Berry

424
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: always says it's the coach's job between Monday and Saturday,

425
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: and the players have to get it done on Sunday.

426
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: Vance Joseph Charlie Bullen, they're not going to be on

427
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: the field on Sunday, Well said. The thing to me is, though,

428
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: you know the two guys who really haven't talked about

429
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: and if you want to go put the rewind tape

430
00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: on over the last couple of years, who would have

431
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: been Isaiah Simmons and Zavan Collins. I mean, they're athletic

432
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: enough where they can obviously man the front, but it's

433
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: gonna have to be done by committee. But if Marcus

434
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: Golden can give you ten and eleven twelve sacks, you know,

435
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: I would think if JJ Watt plays in fifteen to

436
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: sixteen games, maybe he gives you four or five sacks.

437
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: Zach Allen had four sacks last year. I participate that

438
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: to go to seven or eight, and then you know,

439
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: what do you get out of a canard? And possibly

440
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: some of these young fellows. So I don't know if

441
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: we'll get to forty nine like they did when Chandler

442
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: went down, but I think there's ways and if the

443
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: secondary can cover then all of a sudden, we know

444
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: the quarterback gets rid of the ball a little bit quicker.

445
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: They clearly got to get better and the rush defense,

446
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: and that's why I think added another veteran guy there.

447
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: But it's really all three layers have to come together

448
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: to where you know, teams are in third and long,

449
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: so all of a sudden, you could pin you years back.

450
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: If it's third and two, well you're playing on your heels,

451
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: not your toes. You bring up Isaiah Simmons, which is

452
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: maybe that wild card, his ability to rush the quarter back.

453
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: You've got Nick vigil Do we see three inside linebackers

454
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: on the field at the same time, and then their

455
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: seventh round selection, Jesse Lookeda has that ability to play

456
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: inside as well. So maybe they added two and a

457
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: half edge rushers over the weekend in the ninth in

458
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two NFL Draft. But it's certainly going

459
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: to be something that we're going to talk about, and

460
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: it's going to be a conversation and a probably a

461
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: weekly question. Asked Advance Joseph. We went from dealing with

462
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: the tight end to stopping the run too. Now might

463
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: be manufacturing pressure on opposing quarterbacks. That might be what

464
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: advanced Joseph is up against once the regular season hits.

465
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: Looking at draft grades again, this is Chad Reader NFL

466
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: dot Com gave the Cardinals an A minus and here's

467
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: what he wrote about Trey McBride. He'll contribute as a

468
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: strong receiver blockers with Thomas and Sanders also good Day

469
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: two picks to bolster the front seven. He called Graham

470
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: a compliment to James Connor. Smith and Hayes will compete

471
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: for playing time at guard as rookies. Luketta will do

472
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: the same at edge rusher. He isn't the biggest or

473
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: fastest player, but adds needed depth and will contribute on

474
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: special teams. That was part of what he wrote to

475
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: come up with an A minus. You know, look at

476
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: Jesse Lookita six two three eights, two sixty one. He

477
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: was invited to the Senior Bowl. His arms are thirty

478
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: three and his wingspan is about seventy nine. Honorable mention

479
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: All Big Ten Conference career high end tackles last year

480
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: sixty one tackles, eight tackle for losses, So that tells

481
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: me he's winning at the line of scrimmage, able to

482
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: split a double team. And then he had fifty nine

483
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: tackles in nine games now, he's played in forty six.

484
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: He started seventeen fifteen the last few years. I love

485
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: him tackle for losses. He only has a half a sack.

486
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: He does have an interception, but he's got a couple

487
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: of quarterback hits and some pass breakups and that's probably

488
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: where he's gonna be able to deflect the ball. But

489
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: he is a little bit smaller than the other two

490
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: when you look at the outside linebacker position. And this

491
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: I did not know immediately when we last spoke here

492
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: on Cardinals Covered two presented by Hunday, probably partner of

493
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, but Luketta recorded two sacks at the

494
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl. So if you're wondering about you know where

495
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: he might best fit. Is it outside? Is it inside?

496
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: Is it's some combination of both. That's he become like

497
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons with the ability to do a little bit

498
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: of everything, but his motor if you will watching film

499
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: of him special teams. I do think if you're going

500
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: to look at any of these seventh round selections, cornerback

501
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: Chris Matthew, offensive guard Marquis Hayes, you're looking, at least

502
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: my thinking is Luketa might be one of those favorites

503
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: or becomes a favorite of Jeff Rogers. Yeah, and I

504
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: do think Thomas two Cameron Thomas, because he's going to

505
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: be active on game day. Again, these guys could play

506
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: fifteen to six STAPs. You look at Lucita, maybe he's

507
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 1: similar to Victor de McKeachie six two, two sixty one.

508
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: I don't I think de mckeachie's gonna be two fifty.

509
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: So maybe that's like the Marcus Golden type where you

510
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 1: can put their hand in the the dirt, but also rushed

511
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: the pastor Clearly you don't want those guys dropping into coverage.

512
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: By the way, Marcus Golden tagged my j Sanders and

513
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: a tweet over the weekend simply said let's hunt so

514
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 1: and that's what we hear. The Junkyard dog loves hunting

515
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: after his quarterback. So already you're seeing some of those

516
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: veterans on the defensive side, whether it's JJ Water Marcus Golden,

517
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: reach out to these young players. One more draft grade

518
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: and this is from Pro Football Focus, the only one

519
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: that I saw that actually included day one as far

520
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: as using Marquis Brown as part of their grade. Wrote

521
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: this about Day one. Kyle Murray has been PFF's second

522
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: highest graded passer on throws twenty plus yards down field

523
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: since entering the league in twenty nineteen, a good sign

524
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: for Hollywood and the vertical slot threat role vacated by

525
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk. That's day one. Day two talking about McBride,

526
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: he was Pro Football Focus his sixtieth overall player in

527
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: the class. Above average run blocking prowess and downfield pass

528
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,719
Speaker 1: catching ability. Thomas turned in three straight years of eighty

529
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: plus PFF grades. Did that while playing both along the

530
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: interior and on the edge. Sanders meanwhile, recorded ten total

531
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: pressures in the College Football Playoff against Alabama. Noted here

532
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: that his weight needs to stay consistent. He was weighed

533
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: in at the scouting combine under two hundred and thirty pounds.

534
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: He told the media over the weekend that he hopes

535
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: to play at two fifty five. He's currently at two

536
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: forty two. And then Day three. As far as looking

537
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: at those five picks, Day three, according to Pro Football Focus,

538
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: ranked the eighth best interior offensive lineman on PF's big board.

539
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: Lucida Smith is a steal for Arizona. Former tight end

540
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: and as the movement to prove it, he only allowed

541
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: forty pressures across his four college seasons. Pro Football Focus

542
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: with all that gave the Cardinals a B minus, which

543
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: probably where I'm coming from, because if you're getting the

544
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: Cardinals an A for what they did on day one

545
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: because you acquired a proven talent versus some unknown and

546
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: then if you think with respects to day two, Trey

547
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: McBride tight end not so much of a need, not

548
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: a reach, but not so much a need, maybe you

549
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: drop them just because teams or people that do these

550
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: draft grades, you're looking as like they don't need a

551
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: tight end. What are you doing? So now all of

552
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: a sudden that drops, and then it becomes a fluctuation

553
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: on based off who was the available player when the

554
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: Cardinals were on the club. Well, and then he said

555
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: that Thomas's pre draft process was thrown in a loop

556
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: though when he tweaked his hamstring at the Senior Bowl. Nonetheless,

557
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: his college output at San Diego State University was enough

558
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: to make him a top one H prospect. He turned

559
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: in three straight years of eighty plus pro football grades,

560
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: and again he talked about the weight, so he said

561
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: he doesn't have ideal body strength. But he's twitchy for

562
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: his size and I'm looking forward to watching him just

563
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: run down the field and tackle people. This note on

564
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: those that feel like Pro Football Focus and others about

565
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: Trey McBride and that pick at number fifty five. Remember

566
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: what comes said leading up to the draft quote, there

567
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: is definitely some need that is factored in when teams draft.

568
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: Then he added this quote, I think to leave a

569
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: guy on the board just because of his position need

570
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: versus taking the best player, I think it's going to

571
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: put you in a tough spot moving forward. End quote.

572
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: That was two. That was a week and a half

573
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: before the draft. At fifty five, Sure there were players available,

574
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:02,239
Speaker 1: Sam Williams, Drake Jackson, Nick Bonita, three edge rushers. Now,

575
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: Williams had some off the field issues that the Cowboys

576
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: felt were cleared up, and they picked him right after

577
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: Trey McBride at number fifty six. But for the Cardinals,

578
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: when you're grading every player and say McBride was their

579
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: twentieth and I have no idea, let's just say he

580
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: was their twentieth and the next available player that they

581
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: could draft was it fifty five. That's a no brainer.

582
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: Oh as soon as they means to pick. I thought

583
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: best available player because you know, you bring back Zach

584
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: Ertz on a three year deal, You bring back Williams,

585
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,479
Speaker 1: you signed Anderson, You have a couple practice squad guys

586
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: like Psychovits and some others Darrell Daniels and Demetrius Harris

587
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: is still free. Just don't see them on the roster.

588
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: But you start looking at it, you know, age wise

589
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: with his Ertz, Yeah, to me, that was the best

590
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: player available when they were picking, and he checked that box.

591
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: Who were on the third day? More sticking to needs

592
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: and addressing some of the depth on this roster. Three

593
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: edge rushers, a backup running back, and then two offensive

594
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: linemen because you know, Justin Pugh's in a final year

595
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: of his contract. Will hern Andez is on a one

596
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: year deal. Rodney Hudson's under the contract this year and

597
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: next year Beach him a free agent. So it's going

598
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: to be interesting to see, you know, how many of

599
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: these guys make the team, because on paper right now,

600
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: you got to think one of these guys are going

601
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: to get a chance to at least be active on

602
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: game day. And I do like their size. They got

603
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: great anchors. I mean, you could see the belly fat

604
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: in the front and the anchor. And that's something that

605
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: Josh Jones doesn't have curious to see, as Kingsbury mentioned,

606
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: who's the backup center right now? Is Sean Harlow And

607
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: what does this mean for Justin Murray and Josh Jones

608
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: Smith three fourteen, Hayes three eighteen in terms of how

609
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: much they weigh? And then obviously you get into the

610
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: building and you're able to kind of maybe help distribute

611
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: some of that weight, add subtract, but don't lose any

612
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: that anchor, to use your phrase, you get stronger once

613
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: you get into the building because a lot of the

614
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: pre draft process doing a lot of traveling, and then

615
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: you're training for specific drills at the scouting combine or

616
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: pro day, you're not doing those drills anymore. So as

617
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: far as needing to run forty yards doesn't matter. So

618
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: I think, look, there's eight players here. Do all eight

619
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: make the team? Let's hope. So how many of these

620
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: eight are we talking about in three years? In four

621
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: years gets a second contract? I mean, we've got a

622
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: lot of time this offseason to talk about each of

623
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: these eight players, and we'll get more in depth on

624
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: them next week when the rookie Minicamp is happening and

625
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: we have a chance to not only see but also

626
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: here in person from these young players, So a lot

627
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: of time to talk about them, hopefully not talk up

628
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: them because it is an unknown and it's a lot

629
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: of forecasting, which is very difficult to do, not just

630
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals but every team in the NFL. Yeah,

631
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: and getting back to the two linemen, I mean, usually

632
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: you see lineman six one, six two. These guys are

633
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: six three and eight Smith is and then you look

634
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: at when it comes to Hayes, he's six four three quarters,

635
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: so he's almost six five. So that's a little bit

636
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: bigger than your normal guards like Justin peu Is right now, obviously,

637
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: Josh Jones is six five, Justin Murray's about sixty four,

638
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: Beacham's about six seven. So again, I just like the

639
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: fact that you know, in the future, if Peter decides

640
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: to retire, they move on, You've got a guy that

641
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: hopefully he's in the system in at the end of

642
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: the day. We all know this. And I don't mean

643
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: to be redundant, but Sean Kuger is going to play

644
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: the best five guys. But I do like the fact

645
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: that they could have a couple of these other guys

646
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: that dress on game day sixteen offensive lineman right now

647
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: as we speak, sixteen. That's normal. Usually bring fifteen to

648
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: sixteen and you know, hopefully nobody has any injuries, but

649
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: you do have some aging veterans. I wouldn't say hump Is,

650
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: but he's been in the league long enough to where

651
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna get some days off. P Obviously you got

652
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: to worry about the calf in the back. Get him

653
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: through training camp, and then Beachamu. I would like to

654
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 1: see beach him, you know, get some days off, even

655
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: though he probably doesn't want to. But I want to

656
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: see what Joshua Murray can do or josh Jones at

657
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 1: right tackle. I mean, those guys need reps. They got

658
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: to get better, and we'll see a lot of those

659
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 1: guys in the preseason games before we kind of look

660
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: over the block wall, if you will, and figure out

661
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: what the rest of the NFC West did. You want

662
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: to kind of have some fun at our own expense

663
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 1: as far as the mock draft that we did. In

664
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: the draft, we can mock ourselves, all right, let's perfect,

665
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: let's mock ourselves. If you missed it, bird gang and

666
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,959
Speaker 1: go to the arch guys. But we did our own

667
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: first round mock draft. Some good, some bad, and then

668
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: some downright ugly. All right, here's the good. We had

669
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: twenty eight of the thirty two players drafted, Okay, we

670
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 1: had them going in the first round. We had four

671
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: players that we missed on, boy A Moffe, Andrew Booth,

672
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: Junior Christian Watson, and Mulik Willis. I think a lot

673
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: of people missed on Willis. Many people believed that he

674
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: would have been the second or third quarterback, and only

675
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: one quarterback went in the first round. So that was

676
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: the good. We had twenty eight to thirty two. I

677
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: like that percent. Yea, it's difficult, and we plush. We

678
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: had nine traits. Yeah, that's the other. Yeah we did.

679
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: We did not do any trades, no nine trades, and

680
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: the eight teams had multiple picks. Eight teams didn't even

681
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: have a first round pick. Also good. We had seven

682
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: wide receivers going in the first round. Christian Watson would

683
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,720
Speaker 1: have been the seventh. In fact, only six were really drafted,

684
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: so I think we were pretty good on that. Yeah,

685
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: all right, the bad and the down ride ugly, Yeah,

686
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: we only got three of the thirty two picks correct,

687
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 1: meaning we nailed the team, the slot, and the player.

688
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: Three of those Derek Stingley to the Texans at number three,

689
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:55,240
Speaker 1: Ikey Aquanu to the Panthers at number six, and Kenney

690
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: picking of the Steelers at number twenty. That latter one.

691
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: I think everyone had the Steelers taking Kenney picks. So

692
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: we only got those three correct. Well, you got two

693
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: out of the three. I wasn't gonna say anything. Yes,

694
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: you were the odd man, so you got the Stingley

695
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: and I got a Kwantu and pick it. So basically

696
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 1: I am the better general manager than you. That's correct, now, Craig.

697
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: I mean if you go through this, because some guys

698
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: were tweeting out five for five and then I didn't

699
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 1: see their their twitter to the rest of the night

700
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: because five defensive players went in the first five, right, Yes, okay,

701
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: as long as we let's see, we only had twenty

702
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: of the thirty two picks, we probably should have you know,

703
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: checked out and probably do something else. But they see

704
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: that a lot of that was your own legwork with

705
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 1: your top fifty big but I mean became heusehold names

706
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: and I'm watching the third round. But that's not bad.

707
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: Twenty eight out of thirty two. And and when it

708
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 1: came to my top fifty, I missed out on um

709
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: cole Strange. You didn't have him in your top fit.

710
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone had that was Strange Cole Strange.

711
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: I didn't have him, And there was another their player

712
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: and sky No. I had sky more, but he he

713
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: went in the second round. So top fifty, you're gonna

714
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: have guys going to say I did have a guy

715
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: going to third round though, and so he technically that

716
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: would be a little bit long later pick. But yeah,

717
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,760
Speaker 1: I mean for the most part, when it came to

718
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: Tray McBride, I had him at thirty eight. I had

719
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: him the number one tight end in there, and he

720
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: was right around Christian Harris, Matt Correll, uh, Kyle Gordon,

721
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: Kenyan Green And you know, I thought we did a

722
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,800
Speaker 1: good job with the corners, I mean with between Sauce

723
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: and Stingley and then he's throwing Gordon and Johnson or um,

724
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: what's one from McDuffie McDuffie. Yeah, So again this is

725
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: that's the beauty of doing this. And you know, but

726
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: twenty out of thirty two is not bad. Now, we

727
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: used to do mock drafts with listeners, right, so they

728
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: all they all read mocked drafts, and they figured they

729
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: figured out one guy this one time. I should I

730
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: should have a vetoed the pick. But he screw up

731
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: the entire jet. He took this guy at six and

732
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: he screct So the next day we come back and

733
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: literally we only had six I think we only had

734
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 1: sixteen out of the thirty two picks that actually we're drafted.

735
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: So I said, we're scratching this now. Yeah, and then

736
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: you get someone that tries to be funny and cute

737
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: to the other And my thing is, if you like

738
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,479
Speaker 1: them that much as dressed bund your fantasy team, don't

739
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: don't screw up the mock draft takes only one guy

740
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: for everyone else. Yeah, all right. Cardinals covered two presented

741
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: by Hunday, probably partner of the Arizona Cardinals. We'll see

742
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: how we do next year. But you look at with

743
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: the Rams, Seahawks and forty nine Ers were able to accomplish.

744
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 1: Rams like the Cardinals had eight picks, only one though

745
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: in the first two days they had a third round selection.

746
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: They went with an offensive guard Logan Bruss They concentrated

747
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: in the secondary with two corners and two safeties, and

748
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: you're just wondering. Again, it's the Rams. You're the offending

749
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,479
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champions. You could sit back into your house

750
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: by the lake and kind of watch the raft and

751
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: nin just take players as they became available. I don't

752
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: think they were sweating too much this draft. No, And

753
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,720
Speaker 1: you look at the brus He played over a fourteen

754
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,280
Speaker 1: hundred career snaps at right tackle, three hundred and fifty

755
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: two snaps at right guards. So can I never have

756
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: enough depth? Obviously, they draft him in the forward round.

757
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: And then you know they also retained Troy Hill. He

758
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: got traded from Cleveland back to the Rams, and so

759
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,280
Speaker 1: they added a couple of corners, and I was surprised

760
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: that happened. I think they between Greedy Williams and Greg

761
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: Knewsom over there, they thought that maybe Troy Hill, he

762
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: was a free agent pickup. We all know that he

763
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: had a couple of pick sixes against the Cardinals, so

764
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: he's back in the division. And then you look at

765
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: that Kurtwin Williams, Kyron Williams, he's a running back from

766
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. So flood the position, but they drafted a safety.

767
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: You mentioned a couple of corners, edge guy, two safeties,

768
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: and then they got two tackles. So those are the

769
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: premium position for the Rams right now, according to Pro

770
00:40:55,560 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: Football Folcus Draft Grade C plus. Cardinals Gotta Beat is

771
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: from Pro Football Focus C plus. And again their Day

772
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:09,720
Speaker 1: one Crickets Seahawks nine picks four in the first two days.

773
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 1: With the ninth over raw selection, they went with an

774
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: offensive tackle, Charles Cross. In fact, they also won with

775
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: an offensive tackle Abraham Lucas in round three. You wonder

776
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: at Russell Wilson was thinking sitting in Denver watching all

777
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: this transpire. But in the round two they addressed the

778
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: edge position by a MAFE and running back Kenneth Walker

779
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 1: the third. So those four names that I mentioned are

780
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,439
Speaker 1: going to get a lot of attention because you're talking

781
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 1: about four picks between the first, second, and third rounds. Yeah,

782
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: I thought they did really well. Charles Cross, he can

783
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: make the case that Key could have been the best

784
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 1: lineman across the board. He's no slouch in the run game.

785
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:50,439
Speaker 1: He had an outstanding career. You know Mississippi State eighty five,

786
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: he was eighty five and over. You look at MAFE,

787
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 1: who's near the top and loaded edge defender six four

788
00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:00,439
Speaker 1: two sixty one, I'd amit Minnesota. He ran a four

789
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: five three forty forty two inch vertical. So I actually

790
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: think Seattle did a really good job. They finally invested.

791
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 1: And when you have the ninth pick in the draft

792
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: and you have the fortieth pick in forty one and

793
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker, I was a big fan of him. He

794
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 1: was a transfer to Michigan State. He can do everything. Clearly,

795
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 1: they gotta wait and see what Chris Carson. They got

796
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 1: a penny back. But I thought Seattle had a good draft.

797
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: I really do. And they addressed areas where they've kind

798
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: of Dwayne Brown over the years, and they mentioned match

799
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 1: the right tackle. But Lucas is a guy that obviously

800
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: they have familiar aready with playing at Washington State. So

801
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 1: we'll see how it pans out. Clearly, you know, they

802
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: got a couple of corners, they got another edge guy,

803
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 1: they got a receiver, and they took a tight end.

804
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 1: So but as a whole, you know, when you look

805
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: at Day three, they basically had five picks, and I

806
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 1: think they took advantage of it. And according to Pro

807
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 1: Football Focus, they got an a minus a minus. And

808
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: again when you address the line position and then you

809
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 1: get one of the top backs, even though Bryce the

810
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: running back, Price Hall, Yeah, I mean he was like

811
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: the second or third guy. So and that's good because

812
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: now you can go back to running the football if

813
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 1: you can get a lead and went you got Drew Locke.

814
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: If he's the quarterback, you're gonna have to hopefully manage

815
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 1: the game and not try to win it all right,

816
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: So that leaves us with the forty nine Ers. Like

817
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, they also had nine picks, but three in

818
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,839
Speaker 1: the first two days, second round selection outside linebacker Jake

819
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: Drake Jackson, who was still available when the Cardinals selected

820
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: Trey McBride. They do address the offense in round three

821
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: and four, and they had the mister irrelevance and a

822
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,240
Speaker 1: shout out to Gilbert's own out of Perry High School,

823
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: brock Purty, mister irrelevant pick number two hundred and sixty two.

824
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: Saw some of the video footage, he was thrilled to

825
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: hear his name called. So congratulations to quarterback brock Purty,

826
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,839
Speaker 1: one of the forty nine ers nine selections. But now

827
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: he is in Sam Francisco staying on the West Coast. Yeah,

828
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,879
Speaker 1: this is what Pro Football Focus said. Now, clearly they

829
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 1: didn't have a Day one pick because they trade off

830
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 1: for Trey Lance a year ago. But Drake Jackson is

831
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: a phenomenal value at sixty one overall for the forty

832
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: nine ers. He uses his hands really well and great

833
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: ben for the position. Even though he's a six foot three,

834
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy three pounder, He's much more of

835
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,479
Speaker 1: a finesse rusher who lacks any sort of power move.

836
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: So maybe it's good that the Cardinals did not draft him.

837
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: He developed some counters to speed rush. He could be

838
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: a fantastic pass rusher for the Niners, but he's got

839
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: a lot of work to do. So it took it

840
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: took a half back in the second round. I think

841
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: that's the basically say we're not going to hand the

842
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 1: ball off to Samuel Deebo Samuel the wide receiver they

843
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 1: took in a third round. He does have some running

844
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: back skills or he can run the ball, and that

845
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,240
Speaker 1: would be Danny Gray out of SMU. They took a tackle,

846
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:56,240
Speaker 1: took a corner, another tackle. It took two cornerbacks and sorry,

847
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: cornerback and then you mentioned Brock. Pretty according to Pro

848
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 1: Football Focus, they get a B grade. Okay, now, Spencer

849
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: Spencer Burfraud a bit undersize at six four three oh five,

850
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,280
Speaker 1: but he's nearly thirty in charms and will help him

851
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: in regards. So again, they took a tackle that obviously

852
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: has the length in the arms and that really will

853
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: help you when you're trying to avoid the rush coming

854
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: off the outside. So that is a look at what

855
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: the rest of the NFC West did over the three days.

856
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,720
Speaker 1: And of course, obviously we'll see how it transpires once

857
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 1: the regular season hits and just how many of these

858
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:36,720
Speaker 1: draft prospects become rotation players, become starters, become impact players.

859
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: We do know one will become an impact player, Mark

860
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: Keith Brown, because I am going to include him and

861
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: the Cardinals draft class. And while we're talking about it,

862
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 1: we should include Marco Wilson because that was the fourth

863
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: round pick that the Cardinals used to move up to

864
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 1: a draft Wilson a year ago, and Zach Ertz fifth

865
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 1: round selection that the Cardinals sent to Philadelphia to acquire

866
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: Ertz last season. All Right, So now that the draft

867
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 1: is over, obviously teams are in Phase two some are

868
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,399
Speaker 1: in Phase three based on the new coaches coming in.

869
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: Maybe some people miss it over the weekend, but they

870
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,919
Speaker 1: did announce that the Chargers in Chiefs they're gonna play

871
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: the first Thursday night game football on Prime Video. So

872
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 1: we looking for Amazon and that's going to be Thursday,

873
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: May twelfth, that's the first one. And I was here

874
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: in Amazon. Wanted to have a blackout Friday, but I

875
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: don't think it's going to happen until twenty twenty three.

876
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: Put an NFL game on the Friday after Thanksgiving, correct,

877
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 1: but they did not a dozen sign And then coming

878
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: up on May fourth, we'll get the international games will

879
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: be announced, and we know that the Cardinals will be

880
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,919
Speaker 1: in Mexico City for one of those international games. Beater

881
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: King Football Morning in America wrote this, Arizona will host

882
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: the first game in Mexico since twenty nineteen on Monday night,

883
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: November twenty feet at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. It

884
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: will likely be against one of the eight other teams

885
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 1: that have international marketing rights in Mexico, Raiders, Rams or

886
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: nine Ers. Look logical to me, That's what Peter King wrote.

887
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: Will know official on Monday night four and the Cardinals

888
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: will have eight home games and they have the ninth

889
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 1: and then they're gonna play in Mexico. And then the

890
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: Cardinals will obviously only have one preseason game at home

891
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: and two on the road. So, um, that's that's the

892
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 1: next thing is trying to figure out the schedule. Yeah,

893
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 1: that's that's what's going and we know the opponents and

894
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: it's a great day because again we go through it

895
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,240
Speaker 1: every year. We can just like you know, copy and paste,

896
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: but um, primetime games, when's your bye week? Um? Who

897
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: are you opening up with? When a our division games? Um?

898
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: How how does the final month of the season finished?

899
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: Just based on what's happened the last couple of years, Um,

900
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:45,760
Speaker 1: are you on the road and back to back weeks?

901
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 1: Are you at home two out of three times a month?

902
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: However the first So there's a lot of factors, but

903
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: it's just fascinating. And then obviously the bird gang and

904
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: the and the Cardinals fans, they travel and they've done

905
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 1: a really good job of that. So the Cardinals have

906
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: a really good home home schedule. Keep your tickets. We

907
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: will talk about that international game later on this week,

908
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:10,280
Speaker 1: but that is what is next. The national Football league

909
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: does a great job even in the off season to

910
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 1: maintain headlines. Tatis doing something seemingly every single month, and

911
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 1: the schedule is what happens in May. Yeah, it was

912
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 1: just guys in underwear at the combine, and then he

913
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 1: had the interviews, and then all of a sudden you

914
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 1: get Pro Days, and then you get visits and then

915
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:32,399
Speaker 1: you get to the draft. It's fascinating, listen. I mean,

916
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot of noise after the Cardinals are eliminating

917
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but I feel better now to where that

918
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 1: you know that noises. That seems like everyone's on the

919
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 1: same page. And it's been a drama off season for

920
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 1: the NFL as a whole, just all all the players

921
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:49,319
Speaker 1: going from conference to conference. The quarterback, if you don't

922
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 1: have one, you can tell he got no chance. And

923
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 1: we're seeing a lot of quarterbacks who would have thought

924
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:55,800
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan who would be in the AFC, or Russell

925
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: Wilson if I would have told you to the year ago.

926
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: This and Tom Brady's coming back again. So um, a

927
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 1: lot of drama in the offseason, probably just as much

928
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 1: during the season. Always something in the NFL. And on

929
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: that note, we will put a lid on this edition
