Speaker 5: Wow, big moment, Big big moment. Wait a minute, Top

20
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 5: Seed in six A? Where do I complains? That's stats?

21
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 4: Criminal?

22
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 6: Are you cowed?

23
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 7: You?

24
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 4: Guys?

25
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 5: Finagle the top seed in six A.

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 6: Really it's the computers, man. They come up with the formula.

27
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 6: I have no idea what the formula is, but somehow

28
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 6: we did it. And I'm just trying to stay out

29
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 6: of the way and that screw things up.

30
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 4: Well, best of luck to Brophy on Thursday. We wish

31
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 4: you well.

32
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 8: Thank you.

33
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 4: Of course, that's not the lead story this week, although

34
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 4: as much as we would like it to be, it

35
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 4: is not. And it's not what happened on Sunday. What

36
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 4: didn't happen in Cleveland where Paul was and watched that

37
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 4: twenty seven to nothing performance or lack thereof by the Cardinals. No,

38
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 4: it is what we heard from head coach Jonathan Gannon

39
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 4: on Monday. In fact, let's hear from JG on k one.

40
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 7: Plan for quarterback this week. Kyler's going to continue to

41
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 7: ramp up. He'll take the reps, and if the week

42
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 7: goes well, he'll start on Sunday. Please where he's at

43
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 7: right now, we'll see all the week goes.

44
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray in line to start Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons.

45
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 4: Eleven months to the day, Kyle from when that injury

46
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 4: happened December twelfth against the New England Patriots this Sunday,

47
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 4: November twelve.

48
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is big. I mean this is you know,

49
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 6: as much as we as fans have been anticipating this moment,

50
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 6: awaiting his return, excited to see what he can do

51
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 6: under this offense with Drew Petsing and with some of

52
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 6: the new weapons around him, I just got to think

53
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 6: Kyler has just been chopping at the bit. You know,

54
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,119
Speaker 6: this is a guy that has had no time off

55
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 6: from sports, probably since he was about four years old.

56
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 6: And to have this time away from the game, watching

57
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 6: your teammates go out there and fight without you, and

58
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 6: I've been in those shoes more times than I'd like

59
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 6: to admit it, it re energizes you. Like you you

60
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 6: don't ever want to be in this situation again. You

61
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 6: want to get out on the field and you want

62
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 6: to prove your worth and you want to show your

63
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 6: teammates what you're all about in you know, look, Kyler

64
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 6: has done everything he can do off the field in

65
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 6: his absence. I mean he's he's been invested in meetings,

66
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 6: He's been out there on the practice field watching, He's studied,

67
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 6: you know, both opponents in our offense, and you know,

68
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 6: it's I'm just excited to see what spark he can bring,

69
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 6: because it's obviously a parent that this team needs a spark,

70
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 6: they need something. And in this offense, you know, since

71
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 6: you know, showing some promise early in the season, seems

72
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 6: to have regressed to a large degree recently and something

73
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 6: needs to change. And you know, we've got a two

74
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 6: time Pro bowler, one time offensive rookie of the Year,

75
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 6: you know, coming hopefully to bring some life to this offense.

76
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 5: I think you need to give this defense a reason

77
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 5: to believe, because there wasn't much reason to believe on

78
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 5: Sunday in Cleveland when you go out and you're one

79
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 5: to twelve on third down. How many plays in Cleveland

80
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 5: ratory a half dozen, correct, So it's perfect timing. You're

81
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 5: coming off a really deflating loss, and Clayton tune most

82
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 5: definitely looked like a fifth round rookie. And we can

83
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 5: drill deeper into that a little bit later as to

84
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 5: everything else that was going on that didn't give him

85
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 5: much of a chance, and it's a lot of the

86
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 5: same stuff that's plaguing Bryce Young in Carolina. But this

87
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 5: is the timing, and if you're going to get his

88
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 5: running back in return in James Connor. So now you

89
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 5: get a real look at what this offense could look like.

90
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 5: What can Kyler do for the offense? What can the

91
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 5: scheme do for Kyler? There's so many different layers. All

92
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 5: of a sudden, that lost two days ago feels like

93
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 5: two months ago.

94
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 4: It has been a long wait and this is week

95
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 4: four for Kyler Murray being on the practice field. That

96
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 4: practice window opened up twenty one days that expires on Wednesday,

97
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 4: November eighth, in which Kyler Murray will be activated added

98
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 4: to the fifty three man roster because if you're not,

99
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 4: then you asked remain on pup the rest of the season.

100
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 4: We don't get to see Kyler on the football field,

101
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 4: but that is the expectation. We will see number one

102
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 4: on the football field on Sunday. But what do we

103
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 4: expect to see as far as Kyler Murray within this offense.

104
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,239
Speaker 4: Here's more from the head coach.

105
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 7: It's fun to be around him at practice. He's an

106
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 7: ultra competitive and wants to play football. But everything that

107
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 7: he's been doing up until this point to get himself

108
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 7: ready to go both on and off the field, where

109
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 7: he had with the health stuff with the mental stuff

110
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 7: about playing quarterback. He's far exceeded my expectations right now.

111
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 4: There has been a plan in place since day one,

112
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 4: and a lot of people believe Paul that, regardless of

113
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 4: what happened Sunday, Week ten was the end date and

114
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 4: this is the plan. This was the end of the

115
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 4: plan to get Kyler Murray not only one hundred percent healthy,

116
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 4: but one hundred percent mentally and then one hundred percent

117
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 4: or as much as he can be comfortable in a

118
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 4: brand new offense without having repped it in a game situation.

119
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 5: And there's made a mistake. He's competitive. What Michael Wilson

120
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 5: tell us when Kyler was for practice three weeks ago,

121
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 5: said that Kyler had told the receiver room, Hey, just

122
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 5: to let y'all know, I could beat most of you

123
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 5: in a forty. So he's competitive. Okay, there's no doubt

124
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 5: about that. And here's the other thing. Wasn't such a

125
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 5: bad thing? I think to sit there and watch Deshaun Watson,

126
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 5: forget about the Cardinals for a minute, just to watch

127
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 5: Deshaun Watson, and maybe that serves as a precursor as

128
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 5: a case study for Kyler Murray. Think of everything Deshaun

129
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 5: Watson was dealing with. He wasn't one hundred percent. His

130
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 5: throwing shoulder was far from it. There was a lot

131
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 5: of speculation could even throw outside the numbers coming into

132
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 5: that game obviously proved otherwise. So he was rusty, he

133
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 5: was dealing with injury. He didn't have his franchise running

134
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 5: back Nick Chubb. He'd lost offensive lineman not only the

135
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 5: All Pro Jack Conklin in Week two, but he missed

136
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 5: two of his tackles during the course of the game.

137
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 5: So everything that Deshaun Watson had to do and he

138
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 5: had to persevere through some really ugly throws, some really

139
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 5: ugly moments, but eventually the talent won out in Deshaun Watson,

140
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 5: much like a Kyler Murray. He's gonna be among the

141
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 5: most talented players on that field, and eventually, at some point,

142
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 5: you hope that talent takes over.

143
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 4: We know the talents of Kyler Murray with the arm,

144
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 4: with the leg. What we don't know is this is

145
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 4: the first serious injury that he has suffered in his

146
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 4: football career, maybe his playing career period. How do you

147
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 4: overcome that? And we're not going to know the answer

148
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 4: to that, Kyle until and Kyler's not going to know

149
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 4: the answer to that. We might not know the answer

150
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 4: on Sunday, it might take a couple of weeks before

151
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 4: Kyler's fully Kyler Murray again.

152
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 6: You're exactly right, you know, and that's why all of

153
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 6: this extra practice time it matters. It's not just about timing.

154
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 6: It's not just about knowing the offense or understanding your

155
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 6: receivers and in their intricacies and how they're seeing a

156
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 6: defense and how you're seeing a defense. A lot of

157
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 6: it is just, you know, having a cloudy pocket, having

158
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 6: guys in your face, having guys around your legs. And

159
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 6: I understand, you know, quarterbacks don't get hit in practice,

160
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 6: but it's just big bodies moving around you again and

161
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 6: being able to slide up in the pocket or spin

162
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 6: out and buy time. I mean, the things that Kyler

163
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 6: Murray has done throughout his career that not every quarterback

164
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 6: can do. In fact, very few quarterbacks on this planet

165
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 6: can do, you know, with his athleticism. And you know,

166
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 6: the thing I'm excited about is this these last few weeks,

167
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 6: the offense has really regressed into more of a short

168
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 6: passing game and inability to work the ball down the field,

169
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 6: even with Josh Dobbs here and inability to connect down

170
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 6: the field. And we saw Kyler Murray through the first

171
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 6: two years here in Arizona, how accurate he was down

172
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 6: the field, how live his arm was, where how he

173
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 6: could put the ball just about anywhere on the field.

174
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 6: And you know, even last year, his three years, he

175
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 6: was never outside of the top six in downfield target

176
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 6: So you know, I'm excited just to see this offense

177
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 6: look different being able to take shots down the field.

178
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 6: But it starts with being able to establish that ground game.

179
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 6: And that's why it's so important to get James Connor

180
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 6: back in this offense, a real threat in the run game,

181
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 6: and the offensive line needs to do a little bit

182
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 6: better job of moving guys off the ball, opening holes

183
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 6: for this run game to allow Kyler time in the

184
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 6: play action game to get the ball down the field.

185
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 4: There is a difference between practice reps and game reps.

186
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 4: But Paul, you've been pretty consistent on this. There's only

187
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 4: so much you can do in a practice setting to it.

188
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 4: You just have to say, all right, the next step

189
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 4: is real action, full speed on a Sunday, and.

190
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 5: That's when we'll really know how is he going to

191
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 5: feel about guys at his feet when you have guys

192
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 5: trying to submarine him, right, I mean, if I'm the opposition,

193
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 5: if I'm the Atlanta Falcons, here comes a double barrel,

194
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 5: a gap blitz. Let's just try and crush the pocket

195
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 5: from the inside out. Let's come right after him and

196
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 5: show him every bit of pressure, just to see how

197
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 5: he reacts, because it's impossible to simulate in practice what

198
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 5: Garrett Williams told us in the Big Red Rage a

199
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 5: few weeks ago. At some point you're like, Okay, I'm

200
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 5: only getting so much out of practice. You're never gonna

201
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 5: go full contact, full speed, full tackle football. So it's

202
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 5: gonna take maybe a game. That's why Jonathan Gannon told

203
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 5: the media he might not look entirely like Kyler right

204
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 5: from the beginning because he's missed nearly a year and

205
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 5: it's going to be a process. There's just no way

206
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 5: you can simulate what he's going to encounter against Atlanta

207
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 5: on Sunday.

208
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 4: No question, there is excitement amongst the fans, citement in

209
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 4: that locker room as well. Good friend wide receiver Hollywood

210
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 4: Brown on Kyler Murray coming back.

211
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 8: I think they all know he not coming back to

212
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 8: just be average. He coming back to prove a point,

213
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 8: and I think they'll realize it very quickly.

214
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 5: What do you think that point is.

215
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 8: That he wanted the best quarterbacks in the league and

216
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 8: that he's a winner.

217
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 4: So that's what you want to show and show Paul

218
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 4: that he is a part of this franchise moving beyond

219
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three. And that is an eight game evaluation

220
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 4: not only for Kyler Murray and where he stands within

221
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 4: the league, but also this front office. Where do they

222
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 4: think k one fits within this Cardinals team.

223
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 5: There's so many questions that need to be answered. A

224
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 5: what does he look like? How does it recover coming

225
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 5: off this injury, especially mentally, what's going to be like?

226
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 5: To what degree is he going to trust that knee.

227
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 5: He's always had the knowledge that he's maybe the best

228
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 5: athlete on any field when he's on the gridiron. That's

229
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 5: why we call him the future of football back in

230
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 5: the day, right just because he was the best athlete

231
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 5: on the field, yet he was the quarterback. And the

232
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 5: reason he was taking number one overall is because he

233
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 5: was a passing quarterback who could run, not a running

234
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 5: quarterback who would throw occasionally so I think we're going

235
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 5: to see that more than ever. But beyond that, Cardinals

236
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 5: have to get an answer. Is he a good fit

237
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 5: for the system? How much did they change the system

238
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 5: to fit Kyler? Remember the first six games, Josh Dobbs

239
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 5: was under center more than Kyler Murray had been his

240
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 5: entire four years in the NFL, so to some degree

241
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 5: it could be radically different. He led the NFL last

242
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 5: year in shotgun percentage. And then, to Kyle's point, Wolf

243
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 5: asked me this yesterday on the air, what do you

244
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 5: want to see? I cited the system and then number two,

245
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 5: downfield passing as good as Kyler was his first three years,

246
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 5: and he was number one one of those seasons in

247
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 5: downfield accuracy and the best deep ball that escaped him

248
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 5: last that was really absent from his game downfield passing.

249
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 5: He was among the least yards per pass in the NFL,

250
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 5: and the accuracy wasn't there for whatever reason last year.

251
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 5: So I want to see that again because that has

252
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 5: been sorely missing from this Cardinals offense.

253
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 4: Question though, Kyle, is do we see that week one

254
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 4: or is it going to take a handful of games

255
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 4: or a handful of quarters before Kyler Murray not only

256
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 4: figures out what he is capable of doing physically after

257
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 4: a long layoff and then reacquainting himself with his teammates

258
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 4: in a game setting. So the expectations, I think, Yeah,

259
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 4: we're all excited, we all know what Kyler can do,

260
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 4: and the ceiling is so high. Yet how far or

261
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 4: how long does it take us to reach that ceiling?

262
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that's the big mystery. And again, I don't

263
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 6: know that anybody knows that answer. And you know what

264
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 6: I expect is you're going to see. Look, I don't

265
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 6: think anybody questions his skill set. You don't question his

266
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 6: arm strength, you don't question his accuracy, don't question his athleticism.

267
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 6: Throughout Kyler's career, just because he's been so good at

268
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 6: every level, he's had next level confidence. And that's what

269
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 6: the elite athletes in professional sports have. They have that

270
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 6: confidence and even when they're going through a slump, even

271
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 6: when they have bad games, they know that inside they

272
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 6: are better than anybody else on that football field. But

273
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 6: when you are coming back from a devastating injury, that

274
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 6: confidence takes time. And again I don't know if that

275
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 6: comes back after a great drive after throwing a long ball,

276
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 6: after taking a big hit, after juking somebody. But at

277
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 6: some point that confidence is gonna be restored. It will

278
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 6: not be there the first nap, it may not be

279
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 6: there this first game, but at some point it's gonna

280
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 6: come back, and Kyler's gonna realize, Yeah, I am still

281
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 6: that elite player, that elite athlete, the elite quarterback that

282
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 6: can at times put this team on his back and

283
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 6: will this team to wins. Because we've seen it, We've

284
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 6: seen it several times through Kyler's career that he himself. Now, look,

285
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 6: it's a team game and it takes everybody. But I mean,

286
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 6: let's not forget that play again against the Raiders. Let's

287
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 6: not forget the Hail Mary against the Bills. Let's not

288
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 6: forget the fantastic plays that almost no other person on

289
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 6: this planet could make. So he's just got to get

290
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 6: that confidence restored, and you know it will happen sometime

291
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 6: this season.

292
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 5: The best in the biz, Patrick Mahomes what he do

293
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 5: in his last game, the Miami Dolphins took away Travis Kelce.

294
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 5: They said, thou shalt not complete a pass to Travis Kelce.

295
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 5: Double triple team. Some Holmes said, Okay, guess what, I'm

296
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 5: going to complete passes to nine other receivers and I'm

297
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 5: going to find a way to win this game. That's

298
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 5: what the best do, That's what the elite quarterbacks do,

299
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 5: and then everyone feeds off that guy. So that's what

300
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 5: I expect from Kyler Murray. How soon is we're going

301
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 5: to see in the first half of his first game?

302
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 5: Maybe not, but that's why eight games left. To your point,

303
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 5: this is really going to dictate the direction of next

304
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 5: season in so many.

305
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 4: Ways those expectations that we all have here is head

306
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 4: coach Jonathan Gannon on managing the expectations for Kyler Murray.

307
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 7: We gotta be willing to understand it might not look

308
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 7: like Kyler, you know, and I think he's got a

309
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 7: good expectation of that. The coaches have a good expectation

310
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 7: of that. But I know this, He's gonna come out

311
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 7: there and play his game and help us win.

312
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 4: And again, if it doesn't look great after the first game,

313
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 4: that's okay. The fact that Kyler was on the football

314
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 4: field to begin with says a lot about again, checking

315
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 4: boxes before you actually have to make a decision going

316
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 4: into the offseason and obviously where the Cardinals drafting all

317
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 4: that fun.

318
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 5: Stuff, and unlike Clayton tune on Sunday. You know, he

319
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 5: knows what he's looking at. He has four years of experience.

320
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 5: He's seeing virtually every defense and every scheme and philosophy,

321
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 5: so he has a good idea of how to read

322
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 5: and react. We'll see if he's mainly a pocket quarterback

323
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 5: and win in doubt. Does he just get rid of

324
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 5: the football. I'll law Peyton Manning the last couple of

325
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 5: years in the league, right, I don't want to get hit.

326
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 5: I'll just get rid of it. Maybe he goes that

327
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 5: route to start and we'll see. But at some point

328
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 5: you got to imagine the adrenaline takes over and we

329
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 5: see the arm and the legs.

330
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,920

Speaker 2: Network and had an injured Cardinal. It's Kyler who went

335
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 2: down very awkwardly that time as he tried to cut Oh,

336
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: no non contact.

337
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 4: He cut right.

338
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 2: They tried to cut left and just buckle and there

339
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 2: was a Patriot player right there who called to the

340
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 2: Cardinals sideline to bring on the training staff.

341
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 9: You know, I got better every year and then to

342
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 9: take like a you know, hit a wall year four,

343
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 9: especially after going through the whole contract thing, Like I

344
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 9: got COVID in camp. I heard my wrist in camp,

345
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 9: so I missed a lot of those reps, and then

346
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 9: trying to play catch up during the season. It was

347
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 9: just kind of like a compilation of things going on.

348
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 9: I think winning cures all and it's been tough to

349
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 9: do that with some of the circumstances that we had

350
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 9: to deal with. But I think we're heading the right direction.

351
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 4: A difficult year for Kyler Murray twenty twenty two, the

352
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 4: injury happening in December, the surgery in January of two

353
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 4: thousand and three, the words of Kyler Murray from Cardinals'

354
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 4: flight plan over the summer, the Emmy Award winning Cardinals

355
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 4: flight plan. Have you get to hear from Kyler Murray

356
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 4: himself since training Campfully that happens this week, and again

357
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 4: we anticipate seeing Kyler Murray in action on Sunday when

358
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 4: the Cardinals hosts the Atlanta Falcons two to five is

359
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 4: the kickoff from State Farm Stadium, and yes, a lot

360
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 4: about Kyler Murray, but more specifically here in this segment,

361
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 4: Kyle about what Kyler can do for this Cardinals offense.

362
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 4: And yet it was rock bottom Sunday in Cleveland. The

363
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 4: passing game hasn't looked great over the last five games.

364
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 4: If you get James Connor back, that certainly will help

365
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 4: the running game and the play action game, which has

366
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 4: dipped since Connor has been out over the last four weeks.

367
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, you're getting, in the words of coach Jonathan Gannon,

368
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 4: a jolt not only on offense but the entire team,

369
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 4: but specifically the offense and the timing could maybe not

370
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 4: even be better now.

371
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 6: You're right, And you know the big thing for me

372
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 6: is this offseason, it's so hard to be a part

373
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 6: of the team and be involved when you're when you're

374
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 6: injured and you're watching on the sidelings. But Kyler has

375
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 6: really embraced this leadership role, right. And I know Ron

376
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 6: Wolfley talks about this all the time, but when an

377
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 6: elite player or an elite quarterback steps into the huddle,

378
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 6: you know, everybody perks up, and you know, I think

379
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 6: that this just having him on the field like it.

380
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 6: You know, it's probably not going to change very many

381
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 6: of the x's and o's that happen out on that

382
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 6: football field, but this offensive line will feel like, hey,

383
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 6: we've got a special player behind us. Let's just block

384
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 6: for a half second longer in pass pro. Let's let's

385
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 6: open up some holes in this run game. Now we've

386
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 6: got our guy, our signal caller, the future of our

387
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 6: franchise under center. So let's just do our job a

388
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 6: little bit better. Let's let's hold that block a little longer,

389
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 6: Let's move that double team off the ball a little

390
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 6: bit better, and the offense will work. I mean, it's become,

391
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 6: you know, very clear from the words of Jonathan Gannon

392
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 6: from Drew Pets, saying that this offense is designed to

393
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 6: take advantage of everything that Kyler Murray does well and

394
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 6: to help him operate in an offense cater to his

395
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 6: skill set. So, you know, I expect everything to you know, obviously,

396
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 6: you know, having somebody different under center, it changes things,

397
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 6: and there's gonna be a few mistakes in this game,

398
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 6: but I expect the level of play because you know,

399
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 6: we come in here it seems like every week and

400
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 6: talk about, you know, how the offense could have done

401
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 6: things better, But the defense is playing hard. The defense

402
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 6: is playing inspired ball, and it doesn't always seem like

403
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 6: that is being matched on the offensive side of the

404
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 6: ball at all times. But I think he'll see that

405
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 6: level of play rise because of Kyler and the fact

406
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 6: that he has embraced this leadership role, and you know,

407
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 6: and when things don't go well, I think you're gonna

408
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 6: see Kyler handle things differently than he had in the

409
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 6: past and and take some respect fonssibility for this offense

410
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 6: and this team.

411
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 4: One more from Kyler Murray before we get Paul's thoughts

412
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 4: on Kyler Murray within this brand new offense. But Kyler

413
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 4: talking in the summer on Cardinal Flight Planning about how

414
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 4: he feels going into twenty twenty three.

415
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 9: I feel free in a sense, you know, especially with

416
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 9: the change of upstairs in the organization. I feel like,

417
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 9: you know, they've done a great job ever since they

418
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 9: came in, holding people accountable, the leadership. They're really trying

419
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 9: to build something from the ground up, So the offense,

420
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 9: the ins and outs of it, the way we're going

421
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 9: I feel like personally, like you know, Sky's the limit.

422
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 4: Again, those were Kyler's comments over the summer, and Paul,

423
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 4: you think about it, brand new front office, brand new

424
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 4: coaching staff, brand new offense, different pieces on those offensive

425
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 4: moving parts, and now all of a sudden you're in

426
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,959
Speaker 4: inserting the biggest piece, and that would be Kyler Murray.

427
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 5: And you know what, if you look at the Cardinals

428
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 5: offense going into that Cleveland game, number four in rushing

429
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 5: yards per game one thirty eight, numbers two in yards

430
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 5: per carry five point one, number one in chunk runs

431
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 5: twenty plus thirteen explosive runs going into the Cleveland game.

432
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 5: So the run game has been a consistent part of

433
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 5: the Cardinals offense. Sports quiz when it was the only

434
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 5: time Kyler Murray in his Cardinals career had a consistent

435
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 5: and top five run game the first half of twenty

436
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 5: one when the Cardinals went seven to zero, ten and two.

437
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 5: So it's intriguing to me what's he gonna look like

438
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 5: in a truly balanced offense, especially if James Conner is

439
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 5: indeed back this week. He's number five in yards per

440
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 5: carry among running backs. When he got injured, he was

441
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 5: number two and twenty plus yard runs. He was getting

442
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 5: all the respect of the front seven of every defense.

443
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 5: The play action just felt so much more effective. If

444
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 5: you look at Josh Dobbs numbers, they went down significantly

445
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 5: as soon as James Conner got hurt. Was that because

446
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 5: teams weren't respecting the play action as much? Bottom line,

447
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 5: I'm just intrigued to see Kyler in a much more

448
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 5: balanced offense that truly presents the threat of a run

449
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 5: under Cliff Kingsbury and that spread offense, that scheme, it

450
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 5: was never really the case except the first half of

451
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 5: twenty one. Then when they went to la and they

452
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 5: ran for over two hundred yards, when they went to

453
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 5: Cleveland ran for over two hundred yards. If you can

454
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 5: get back to that, put Kyler in that offense. To me,

455
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 5: look out, there was a lot on Kyler's shoulders in

456
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 5: the previous offense to where yeah, you expect that to

457
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 5: a certain extent, a lot is shouldered by the quarterback.

458
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 5: But the fact that I think Kyler a lot of

459
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 5: the times felt that if he wasn't successful, the offense

460
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 5: as a whole wasn't successful. But if you have different pieces,

461
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 5: that short passing game, get it out in space of

462
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 5: your playmakers, a capable running game and all of a sudden,

463
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 5: you can hand the ball off and then maybe take

464
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 5: a couple of steps back and not worry about Okay,

465
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 5: not only do I have to throw it, but else

466
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 5: have to.

467
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 4: Be your leading rusher as well. I don't think Kyler's

468
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 4: gonna have to do that within this offense at least

469
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 4: that's the hope.

470
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, And just from his comments about you know, he

471
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 6: feels free if you feel like they're empowering him, whereas

472
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 6: he felt like he was handcuffed before, like here's here's what,

473
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 6: here's your reads, here's what you have to do, and

474
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 6: everything was a little bit robotic, and that is not

475
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 6: Kyler Murray's style of play. Like he is a dynamic player.

476
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 6: When he sees something, he should be allowed to take

477
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 6: advantage of it, right, And so you feel like this

478
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 6: coaching staff understands the type of athlete and the type

479
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 6: of difference maker he can be in the offense, and

480
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,959
Speaker 6: and the fact that he feels free and has some

481
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 6: freedom he can check out of things if he doesn't

482
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 6: like them. He can, you know, make these off schedule

483
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 6: plays anytime he wants. That's what you want to do

484
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 6: with your franchise quarterback, you know, give him some input,

485
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 6: let him go out there and do what he does

486
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 6: best to sensuate his talents. And you know, again I

487
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 6: talked about, you know, to me, when when you see

488
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 6: that confidence back, that's going to be when he turns

489
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 6: the corner, and that's when we're going to see the

490
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 6: Kyler again. That's a big part of it, just the

491
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 6: coaching staff empowering him, saying, you know what, this is

492
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 6: your first game back, and I'm sure these conversations have

493
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 6: behind closed doors. It's okay to make a mistake. It's

494
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 6: it's okay to go out there and struggle. We're going

495
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 6: to work our way through it, and we are behind you.

496
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 4: One those new coaches include a brand new offensive coordinator,

497
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 4: Drew Petsing on what he has seen from Kyler Murray

498
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 4: in practice of the last three plus weeks, he was awesome.

499
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 10: You know, I think his engagement in the meeting room

500
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 10: certainly showed up. You saw some strides quickly, like it

501
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 10: was something that didn't take very long, but I got it.

502
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,199
Speaker 10: That's what we talked about in the meeting room. Here

503
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 10: it is on the field. I'm going to go out

504
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 10: and make sure that I'm focused on it, getting it done.

505
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 10: So really encouraged by that. He was really into it.

506
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 10: I think it was exciting and fun for him to

507
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 10: be out there. So it was great to see that.

508
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 10: I mean, anytime you go through an injury in or

509
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 10: rehab like that, your first time back on the field,

510
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 10: there's some emotions and energy, and it was good to

511
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 10: see that from him.

512
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 4: Rehab been an injury kept Kyler Murray in town for

513
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 4: the most of the offseason, meaning he was around, he

514
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 4: was learning, he was watching. Now, you got to take

515
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 4: what you see out on the football field. But Kyler

516
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 4: Murray is invested. And we've used that word a lot.

517
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 4: Kyle's used that word a lot this offseason. He's invested

518
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 4: in this organization, this offense. Now we just need to

519
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 4: see it. Quarterbacks coach Israel wolffork on working with Kyler

520
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 4: Murray during this time.

521
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 11: Kyler loves football and he's a competitor. That's what I've

522
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 11: noticed by being around him every single day, how he

523
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 11: comes into his building, how he approaches, how he works

524
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 11: that My information is taken in that amount of like

525
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 11: he's been locked in. The guy's been on the sideline

526
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 11: rehabbing this whole time, and he's been very focused on

527
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 11: what he needed to do to get back here, and

528
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 11: that shows that his commitment to the team's commitment to

529
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 11: his self, and he wants to get out there and compete.

530
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 11: He watches so much football, and not just us, he

531
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 11: watches other great quarterbacks. He's always trying to pick up

532
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 11: different things they can do to improve his.

533
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 4: Game, whether it was the off season or trending camp. Paul,

534
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 4: how many times did we see middle of practice all

535
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 4: of a sudden Kyler has done his work behind closed doors,

536
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 4: getting that knee ready, and all of a sudden he's

537
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 4: watching practice. And he's not just watching practice from the sidelines.

538
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 4: He's by the head coach, he's by the offensive coordinate,

539
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 4: behind the offense, looking at it from the end zone

540
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 4: view and sometimes having that earpiece as well to kind

541
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 4: of hear what is being relayed to at that point

542
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 4: whomever is under center.

543
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 5: Nine games this year, I've stood behind Kyler Murray on

544
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 5: the sidelines. He's got that year piece in and he's

545
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 5: having those conversations on the sideline. Jonathan Gannon comes over

546
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 5: quite a bit. I don't know off from the TV

547
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 5: cameras catchup, but Gannon comes over quite a bit.

548
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 4: They converse.

549
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 5: They do it a ton at practice, they did it

550
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 5: a lot at training camp, and it's just the time

551
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 5: spending the building. In twenty twenty three, like you cited, Craig,

552
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 5: he's made a connection just being there and earn't even

553
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 5: respect how many guys have cited they've seen Kyler every

554
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 5: single day, whether it's even the longest tenured cardinal.

555
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 4: D J.

556
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 5: Jumpfres a few months ago joking about how there were

557
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 5: certain sides of Kyler he wasn't even aware of, right,

558
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 5: the guy, the funny guy, the sense of humor beyond

559
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 5: the scenes that the media doesn't really see. Garret Williams

560
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 5: in the Big Red Rage that I was working with

561
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 5: Kyler and zach Ertz the entirety of the offseason, trying

562
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 5: to come back from the knee injury. And then there

563
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 5: was a moment on Wednesday. I think you saw this

564
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 5: as well. Kyler walked into the locker room last Wednesday

565
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 5: and he's throwing passes to guys in the locker room.

566
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 5: I've been in NFL locker rooms as a meeting pencil

567
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 5: next since the age of nineteen. I've never seen a

568
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 5: quarterback come into the locker room start throwing the ball around.

569
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 5: It guys, it's like he wanted more throws. It was

570
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 5: really interesting. You can tell he's really itching to Plague

571
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 5: and it was kind of like, is what's the TV

572
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 5: commercial where he's in the Cardinals game locker room and

573
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 5: he's throwing the ball around breaking stuff Like he breaks

574
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 5: the handle off the water faucet and he knocks down

575
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 5: the stuff off the table, And that's what it was,

576
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 5: and it's interesting. He just has this extra stride in

577
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 5: his step. Then I'm curious how it translates to the field.

578
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,479
Speaker 4: You got to be able to execute, and that's what

579
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 4: you're judged on ultimately, Kyle. But yeah, the excitement and

580
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 4: then to your point, I like what you said, it's

581
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 4: not going to be perfect, and it's okay if there's

582
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 4: a mistake or several mistakes, because how do you get

583
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 4: better by learning from your mistakes?

584
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 6: That's right. And one thing I talk about this I

585
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 6: think every week, but I love about this coaching staff

586
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 6: is the emphasis they put on practice. And that's probably

587
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 6: why they've used every minute of practice they can to

588
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 6: get Kyler ready. You know, they want him to get

589
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 6: those reps. You get better at football and practice and

590
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 6: a lot of times in the NFL. This point in

591
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 6: the season is difficult to get better in practice, but

592
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 6: Kyler will. They're talking about how invested he is in

593
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 6: the film room, how he's picking new things up from

594
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 6: watching other games, how hard he works. Those things will

595
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 6: all serve him well, because again, this won't be you know,

596
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 6: it might be a bumpy roadback, but Kyler will work

597
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 6: his way through it, and this coaching staff will help

598
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 6: him on the practice field.

599
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 4: Cardinals and the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, we'll touch on

600
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 4: the defense next here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio network.

601
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 2: Watson straight drop back from the pocket, look a deep

602
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 2: middle of the field.

603
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 4: Airing it out and a leaping a tip.

604
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 2: But it's broken up with the last second. Garrett Williams

605
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 2: with another terrific defensive play.

606
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 6: Garrett Williams was right there to strip the pick.

607
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 8: What a big play by the rookie, Garrett.

608
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 2: Williamsport hitting the backfield and tackle for a loss of

609
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 2: the eight yard line. Zaban Collins was back there first,

610
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 2: so they lose three yards trying to run it on

611
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 2: third and three, and how they got a punt A

612
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 2: stretch flow to the right for Ford hit in the

613
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 2: backfield and tackled into twenty Dante Stills, boy, the rookie

614
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 2: from West Virginia starting to come into his own his

615
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 2: second terrific game in a rown. Dante's Stills ripping the

616
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns at the point of a time.

617
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 4: Give that Cardinals defense credit on Sunday every single time,

618
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 4: and there were a lot of times that they were

619
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 4: put back on that football field. In fact, they were

620
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 4: on the field almost thirteen more minutes than their counterparts

621
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 4: on offense. Cardinals defense never quits at all, despite what

622
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 4: the final score indicated, twenty seven to nothing. But you

623
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 4: look at some of the numbers. That defense allowed a

624
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 4: season low two point eight yards per rushing attempt. Second

625
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 4: straight week. They held an opponent under thirty seven percent

626
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 4: on third down. So yeah, this defense maybe lacking some

627
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 4: big names, but has some talent heading in the right direction.

628
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 4: And that's a good thing to see considering we didn't

629
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 4: see a whole heck of a lot on the other

630
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 4: side of the ball.

631
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 5: You know what's really vexing about that performance in cle

632
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 5: is it violated Jonathan Gannon's rule, don't let the other

633
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 5: team's best player beat you, And it was the forty

634
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 5: nine yarder in the fifty nine yarder to Amari Cooper

635
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 5: that really changed that game in so many ways. Both

636
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 5: balls were excellent, especially that second deep ball right on

637
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 5: the money in stride by Deshaun Watson, his ugliest his

638
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 5: short passing game was and it was bad that deep stuff.

639
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 5: Those balls were right on the money, and it was

640
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 5: very costly for a Cardinals defense that came in and

641
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 5: bottled up the number two rushing attack in the NFL.

642
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 5: You got to give a shout out to those interior

643
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 5: d linemen, most of whom have never know NFL fans

644
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 5: around the league have never heard of a Jonathan Ledbetter,

645
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 5: Kevin Strong Junior, who I'm told greted out really well

646
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 5: in that game, maybe his best game of the year

647
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 5: coming off injury. No less, Dante Stills Junior continues to evolve,

648
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 5: and then you have a Kaiser White. Now, Kaiser White,

649
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 5: I'd love he was miked up in that game. I

650
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 5: can't wait to see wired because they put out the

651
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 5: backup offensive center and they try to go Patrick were

652
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 5: card like the Baltimore Ravens did against the Cardinals front seven,

653
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 5: and they're running that offensive lineman as a lead blocker

654
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 5: and going right after Kaizer White so often. I'm really

655
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 5: curious if what we're going to be able to see

656
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 5: and hear from Kaizer White and this week's Wired.

657
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 4: Cardinals were only down two scores at halftime. It was

658
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 4: thirteen to nothing, twenty to nothing with eight minutes to

659
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 4: go in the third quarter of At that point on Sunday,

660
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 4: you kind of knew where this was headed. But again,

661
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 4: that defense, Kyle played well enough to allow the offense

662
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 4: several opportunities, and they were given a handful of opportunities

663
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 4: to get back in that game, and they just couldn't

664
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 4: move the football against Cleveland.

665
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think, Look, this defense is playing really good

666
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 6: fundamental defense. I mean, they're doing a good job for

667
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 6: the most part keeping the ball in front of them.

668
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 6: To Paulay's point, look, Pauli's a big conspiracy theorist. He

669
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 6: thinks that Joe Burrow is faking a calf injury because

670
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 6: it wasn't apparent in that game.

671
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

672
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 6: Now, Deshaun Watson has his shoulder and can't throw a

673
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 6: deep ball, and he looks perfect on his deep balls.

674
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 6: I have a theory in that.

675
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 5: By the way, he was told all week he had

676
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 5: no zip and didn't have enough v so a lot

677
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 5: of people thought from the sideline that he was coming

678
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 5: out trying to overthrow the short passes, showing everyone, oh

679
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 5: I got enough VLO. Watch this fastball and then they're

680
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 5: going right into the dirt or they're just going he's

681
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 5: airmailing guys. So maybe he put a little too much

682
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 5: mustard and was overthrowing some of those passes.

683
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 6: Now that could be there. I don't know. There you

684
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 6: go with your conspiracy theories, but yeah, no, that's probably

685
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 6: part of the game plan. Like, look, we don't think

686
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 6: he can throw a deep ball, you know, will allow

687
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 6: a couple of guys to get over the top. And

688
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 6: then sure enough he threw some perfect deep balls. But

689
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 6: you know, I think this defense again continues to go

690
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 6: out there and play regardless of the situation. That shows

691
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 6: a lot of heart, shows a lot of leadership from

692
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 6: the guys on that side of the ball, from you know,

693
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 6: defensive coordinator Nick Rowlis. The fact that they continue to

694
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 6: fight regardless of the situation. And I could tell you

695
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 6: I've been there. I've been on a defense where you

696
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 6: continue to go out and you battle, you get the

697
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 6: team to punt and the offense goes out and is

698
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 6: three and out and you're right back out on the field.

699
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 6: As hard as that is, as long as you have

700
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 6: the right guys on that side of the ball, as

701
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 6: long as you you have guys that want to fight,

702
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 6: that can block out everything else that's going around them

703
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 6: and just go out there and execute, then that will

704
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 6: serve you well. And we've got those guys. Look, you know,

705
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 6: Buddha Baker just continues to do phenomenal things and by

706
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:20,239
Speaker 6: my count, he probably saved at least three touchdowns, you know,

707
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 6: by by making that tackle and eating up that angle

708
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 6: where a wide receiver or a running back is getting

709
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 6: down the sidelines and boom, Buddh Baker comes out of nowhere.

710
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 6: So as long as you have Kaiser White, you have

711
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 6: Buddha Baker, you have Jalen Thompson, you have those types

712
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 6: of leaders on this defense, they're going to continue to

713
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 6: go out there and execute because you know, I've been

714
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 6: on teams that didn't have those types of leaders on

715
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 6: the defense and the defense gets mad at the offense

716
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 6: and then the defense starts to lay down at the

717
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 6: end of the game. And there's been no signs of

718
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 6: let up by this defense at any game in this season.

719
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 4: Sunday's loss dropped the Cardinals to one and eight, So

720
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 4: obviously the question to head coach Jonathan Gennon is how

721
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 4: do you maintain that confidence? Especially considering what happened on

722
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 4: Sunday in Cleveland.

723
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 7: These guys aren't gonna wait. We're going to show them

724
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 7: the tape and say, hey, this is what we need

725
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 7: to improve and this is what we need to do

726
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 7: to give ourselves a better chance to win the game.

727
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 7: So we'll put all our effort and focus into Atlanta.

728
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 7: Good football team coming in here and playing at home

729
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 7: and try to go get a win.

730
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 4: It's one thing to hear that from the head coach,

731
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 4: another thing when you hear it from the players. And

732
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 4: Jonathan Ledbetter spoke addressed the media on Monday, and the

733
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 4: same question was posed to him, like what do you

734
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 4: do when your side of the ball is holding up

735
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 4: your end of the weight, yet the offense is not

736
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 4: doing its job. Here is Cardinals defensive lineman Jonathan Ledbetter

737
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 4: on defense.

738
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 3: You know, I love going on the field. I don't

739
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 3: care if defense needs to be out there. We'll go

740
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 3: out there, you know, And I know all the guys

741
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 3: on defense. You know, we took it as a challenge

742
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 3: and you know, I literally say, you know, are we

743
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 3: hanging or we banging? You know, we hanging out or

744
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 3: are we going out here to bang? And everybody bought

745
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 3: into that, and we went out there and we banged,

746
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,919
Speaker 3: you know. And everything's not perfect, you know, but we

747
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 3: do motor and violence very well.

748
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 4: Kyle, you brought that up earlier as far as it's

749
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 4: not easy, and maybe you have a handful of players,

750
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 4: but you need all eleven. In fact, you need the

751
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 4: entire roster to have that same mindset that Ledbtter just

752
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 4: talked about, because you have eleven guys on the field

753
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 4: on defense and if one or two, maybe just one

754
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 4: just feels like, you know what it's done, I'm tapping

755
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 4: it out. Yet they're on the football field, then it

756
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 4: doesn't matter what your other ten guys are doing. And

757
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 4: now all of a sudden, there goes another chunk play,

758
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 4: another score, and that lopsided, that score goes even worse

759
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:31,479
Speaker 4: than twenty seven nothing.

760
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 6: It's a sign of the culture is working right. This

761
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,959
Speaker 6: coaching staff has emphasized the culture in this locker room

762
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 6: and the fact that it hasn't happened or maybe it

763
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 6: has happened. You know, there's been some mysterious things with

764
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 6: guys who are dependent on one week and then aren't

765
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 6: a part of the game plan the next week. You know,

766
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 6: you can look at reps and make assumptions on Sundays,

767
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 6: but you know lack of effort will not be tolerated

768
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 6: by you know, not only this coaching staff, but when

769
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 6: it comes from again the leaders of the defense, when

770
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 6: they're holding players in each other accountable. That's what you're

771
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 6: looking for. And you know it doesn't always show wins

772
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 6: and losses, but it does show a strong culture and

773
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 6: the fact that you know there doesn't seem to be

774
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 6: dissension in the locker room, that this defense continues to

775
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 6: go out there and fight. Look, it's not perfect football,

776
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 6: Like Jonathan Lebeder said, we're not playing perfect football. We're

777
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 6: making plenty of mistakes, but on defense, you can make

778
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 6: up for that with effort and attitude, and that's what

779
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 6: we're seeing on Sundays.

780
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 5: Think of how many times previous to Jonathan Gannon, we

781
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 5: would ask the question after the game, coach, what did

782
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 5: you think of the effort, the intensity, the urgency. Think

783
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 5: of road losses at Detroit where they showed UPDA think

784
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 5: of home losses to PJ. Walker and Carolina where they

785
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 5: had zero energy from the get go and then it

786
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 5: didn't get much better over the course of the game.

787
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 5: That has not been an issue with Jonathan Gannon and

788
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 5: this staff and this roster. And to Kyle's point, I

789
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 5: think it's zero tolerance. The guys realized that's the third rate.

790
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,760
Speaker 5: If I get out there and the whole Jonathan Lenbetter,

791
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 5: are we hanging or banging? You hang in your head,

792
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 5: you're out of the game. And I think they've already

793
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 5: subtracted players from the roster who they identified as guys

794
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 5: who may not be willing to give their all all

795
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 5: the time. And so I think that's been the one

796
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 5: constant and that's allowed the Cardinals to be competitive in

797
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 5: most of the games.

798
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 4: And Ledbetter even mentioned that everything is an evaluation, everything

799
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 4: is on tape, and how you perform now says more

800
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 4: to the Cardinals, to the other thirty one teams than

801
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 4: how you played earlier in the season. What kind of

802
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 4: a player are you? How what kind of a player

803
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 4: do you want to be? In the NFL? More from

804
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 4: the Cardinals defensive lineman on that mindset.

805
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 3: We're not gonna waiver. You know, I don't really care

806
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 3: what people say you know about us, about this team. Honestly,

807
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 3: you know, I'm going to be who I am. I'm

808
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 3: going to show up and do what I need to do.

809
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 3: And I'm proud of this team because it's full of

810
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 3: guys who will do that. JG picked the people on

811
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 3: this team, and you know we're here for a reason

812
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 3: and nobody's wavering.

813
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 4: And to Paul's point, if you do waiver, then you

814
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 4: might not find yourself on this team. And it has

815
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 4: opened up the door for players to come in and

816
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 4: take advantage of the opportunity. Dante Stills, as we talked

817
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 4: about back Paul, He's your guest Thursday on The Big

818
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 4: Red Rage Live from Trophy and Chandler, someone who has

819
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 4: really taken advantage of his opportunities as a six round

820
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 4: draft pick.

821
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 5: And the egregious omission earlier of not naming Lecky Fotu,

822
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 5: who had a heck of a game I'd say his

823
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 5: best game of the year, and he's our Angry Bird

824
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 5: Award winner this week, So how I left him out

825
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 5: of the equation. It was just a criminal Emmy by

826
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 5: yours truly.

827
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 4: Highlighting the defensive line, not only with the Angry Bird Award,

828
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 4: but again Dante Stills Live Thursday, Big Red Rage from

00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 9: for one hundred.

838
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 6: And everybody on that defense knows.

839
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 2: How big that was, right there, Sack one hundred in

840
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 2: the sixteen year career of Kalais Campbell needs.

841
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 4: To be mentioned that fifty six and a half of

842
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:37,280
Speaker 4: those sacks happened with Kalais Campbell wearing an Arizona Cardinals uniform.

843
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,240
Speaker 4: As we get to see Kalais come back his second

844
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 4: return to the desert when the Atlanta Falcons come to

845
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 4: town on Sunday two o five is the kickoff nine

846
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 4: thirty am. Pregame coverage begins on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network,

847
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 4: as we say, welcome back. It is the Cardinals Red

848
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 4: Sea Report, presented by Seat Geek, Your tickets, Great Seats,

849
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 4: Kalais Campbell an off season edition one of Mini Kyle

850
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 4: by This Atlanta Falcons defense that was basically overhauled in

851
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 4: the off season. Dan P's retired Ryan Nielsen gets the

852
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 4: gig and yeah, the Falcons are four and five, but

853
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 4: they are playing better football defensively than they did at

854
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 4: any point last season.

855
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, and look, one hundred sacks. It's pretty impressive. Had

856
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 6: I played twenty four years, I would have also cracked

857
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 6: one hundred sacks. So yeah, I mean they're a good defense. Look,

858
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 6: they're eighteenth and point sixth and yards fourth in yards

859
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 6: per carry it for against the run game. So you know,

860
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 6: we can't sleep on this defense. Where you know, in

861
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 6: the past, the past few years, the Atlanta defense has

862
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 6: really been you know, subpar. You know, they're they're a

863
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 6: good defense, and the strength of their team is up front.

864
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 6: They can get after the quarterback and so you know,

865
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,760
Speaker 6: to me again, the biggest change, Look, you know, Kyler Murray,

866
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 6: that's a huge change. James Connor hopefully, but the offensive

867
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 6: line needs to play better and against the stout front,

868
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 6: against some good d tackles and some good edge players.

869
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 6: So you know that would be our challenge this week

870
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 6: is to put that game from last Sunday behind us

871
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 6: and play like this offensive line played through the first

872
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 6: part of the season, which you know, they went up

873
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 6: against a gauntlet of really good pass rushing teams and

874
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:13,240
Speaker 6: held their own.

875
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 5: Two words max protect. If you need to go with it,

876
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 5: you saw it at the end of the Browns game.

877
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 5: They went max protect, had the eleven yard completion to

878
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 5: Hollywood Brown, and you couldn't help but wonder a while

879
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 5: maybe they should have gone to that earlier in the game,

880
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 5: especially with Kyler Murray his accuracy as chemistry with Hollywood Brown.

881
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 5: You got an Atlanta defense that has allowed one touchdown

882
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 5: run over the past six games.

883
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:35,399
Speaker 4: You know who scored it.

884
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 5: Josh Dobbs from eighteen yards out in this last game.

885
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 5: Such a demoralizing loss by the Atlanta Falcons to Josh

886
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 5: Dobbs and the Vikings that Arthur Smith two nights ago

887
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 5: shaved his mustache.

888
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 4: I did see that.

889
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,399
Speaker 5: Couldn't sleep, woke up at three forty five in the morning,

890
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 5: said we need to change. I need to change, shaved

891
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 5: his mustache, so you know what, all the best on

892
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 5: that coach Smith.

893
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 4: And staying with his quarterback Heinekee. Desmond Richard benched Heineke

894
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 4: gonna get his second straight starts after stops with the

895
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 4: Panthers Washington and now with the Atlanta Falcons, and it

896
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,439
Speaker 4: is an offense that ranks eleventh in the league, number

897
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 4: nine and rushing, number seventeen in passing, and Heineke's only

898
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 4: played six quarters with the Falcons, two touchdowns, one interception,

899
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 4: So yeah, a little bit of an unknown on the

900
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 4: Falcons side of things at QB.

901
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 5: Here's the thing though, Taylor Heineke himself is not unknown

902
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 5: to Jonathan Gann and Nick Rolis because they game plan

903
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 5: against him twice a year in the division. So that's

904
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 5: an intriguing side story to this whole matchup JG against

905
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 5: Taylor Heineke, and they're very familiar with what he does.

906
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 5: And he does have the ability to extend plays in

907
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 5: a very unique way, is the way the Falcons describe it.

908
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,800
Speaker 4: When you think quarterbacks, though with the Atlanta Falcons typically

909
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 4: it's Matt Ryan. Well, he's now on the TV side

910
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 4: of things in the broadcast booth, but the Cardinals once

911
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 4: upon a time did face Matt Ryan fact faced.

912
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 6: Them a lot.

913
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,280
Speaker 4: How about we flash back Dave patch Ron Wolfley against

914
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 4: the Atlanta Falcons, all the way back a decade ago

915
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 4: in twenty thirteen.

916
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 2: A black cat just ran across the field over to

917
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 2: the Falcons bench.

918
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 4: Matt Ryan had no idea what to do.

919
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 2: He looked at the cat.

920
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 10: Is it to say?

921
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 4: Is this real? It's Halloween week.

922
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 2: Somebody obviously brought a black cat into the stadium and

923
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 2: just let it loose.

924
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 6: I believe that's called a bad omen.

925
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 2: That's awesome. Did you see Matt Ryan? He stopped, He

926
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,479
Speaker 2: was warming up and he saw the black cat.

927
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 4: He stop.

928
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 2: Just the fact that it's Halloween week and then there's

929
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,280
Speaker 2: a black cat running around.

930
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 4: The University of Phoenix stadium. Wow, and it was a

931
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 4: bad omen. Paul Matt Ryan four interceptions, four sacks as

932
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 4: the Cardinals won twenty seven to thirteen.

933
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 5: This iteration is all about running the football. You realize

934
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 5: that since the beginning of last season that the Falcons

935
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 5: are second only to Baltimore in the number of one

936
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 5: hundred yard rushing games. So they run the ball first, second,

937
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 5: and third, especially Drake London missed last week with the

938
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 5: groin injury. Mac Hollins, their second best receiver, really injured

939
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 5: his ankle. He's somewhat doubtful at least at this point

940
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 5: for this game this week. So they're gonna come in

941
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 5: I guess, and they're gonna feature Tyler l Jeer and

942
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 5: Bjeon Robinson and here comes the run and b John

943
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 5: Robinson was would come full circle here on Cardinals read

944
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 5: support South Point High School down in Tucson, and that

945
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,320
Speaker 5: is someone that you're familiar with on the outside.

946
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 6: Thing that's right, just played him. Yeah, I mean between

947
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 6: those two running backs again in the run game and

948
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 6: passing game, they got two hundred and fifty eight touches.

949
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 6: So they're gonna feature those two running backs. A good

950
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 6: thing is our defense has been playing the run really well. Lastly,

951
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 6: I want to say the only mustache worse than Arsur

952
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 6: Smith was Paul KELVC. Every year when he tries to

953
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 6: grow a mustache, it is terrible.

954
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:45,800
Speaker 4: At least Arthur Smith lasts longer than Paul's does, although

955
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,320
Speaker 4: it comes up yearly.

956
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 9: Though.

957
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 5: Ain't O'Connell, the rookie quarterback for the Raiders, has a

958
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 5: glorious mustache. He's moving up the power pol right now,

959
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 5: just a shout out.

960
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 4: We'll see what happens on Sunday. No mustache for either

961
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,439
Speaker 4: Paul Calvc or Falcon's head coach Arthur Smith. The game
