He's as 4 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: frustrated and maybe more so than a lot of us 5 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,639 Speaker 1: are about that side of the wall and the passing 6 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: game in particular, and this week, of all weeks to 7 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 1: try to get the passing game going, that Ofphins are 8 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: number one against the pass. Before we get to that, though, 9 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: we talk weather, NFC West, and the unfortunate injury news 10 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: to Dennis Gardek.

Not on 23 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: the road. We've done that outside because what were you 24 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: telling me before we begin? 25 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 3: It's so beautiful outside right now? 26 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: It is, although I look and you know, the handy 27 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: dandy app on the phone says ninety two, which are like, 28 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: what ninety two? But considering we've been one hundred and ten, 29 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifteen ninety two with a little bit 30 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: of a breeze I saw all means go outside. 31 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 3: It is a little sad when you leave the office 32 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 3: and the sun is already setting. However, it's a give 33 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 3: and take of no longer having one hundred and ten 34 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 3: degree day, so I will gladly take it. 35 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: Yes, enjoy it while you can. And this is why 36 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: we live in Arizona because of this right now here 37 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: in mid to late October, where yes, it is sixty 38 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: seventy eighty degrees and it's cool overnight and you're not 39 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: baking in the middle of the afternoon sun. 40 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty dang nice. 41 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: You know what else is nice? 42 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 3: Tell me? 43 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: All right, so I know we've been riding this roller 44 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: coaster this season, but how about we just focus on 45 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: instead of the National Football League or the NFC. How 46 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: about we just focus on the NFC West, because there 47 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: is one sure way to get into the postseason, and 48 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: that is when your division, regardless of what your record is, 49 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: when your division and you're in and right now the 50 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: Cardinals are one game back and if things break, potentially 51 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: the Cardinals way. This week, Seahawks host the Bills Buffalo 52 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: very capable team. Rams hosts the Vikings on. 53 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 3: Thursday, with or without Cooper Cup. 54 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: And the forty nine ers host the Cowboys, which, for 55 00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 1: one time only, Danny, we will allow go Cowboys here 56 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: on Cardinals cover two. 57 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 3: Oh man, I'm not going to say that I don't 58 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 3: think anyone of my family is probably still cheering for 59 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 3: the Cowboys after the way things have gone the last 60 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 3: couple of weeks. 61 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: But we are rooting for Dallas because again, you make 62 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: sure you maintain your spot and leap frog teams. Because 63 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: the Cardinals are the only team within the division undefeated 64 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: at two and zero, you win, You take care of 65 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: your own business on the road in Miami. Now, all 66 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: of a sudden, we're back here Monday morning talking about 67 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: a team that is tied for first but because the 68 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: tie breakers in first place in the NFC West through 69 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: Week eight. 70 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 3: That the first time you haven't referred to them as 71 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 3: my Dallas cowboys. Have we finally moved past that? 72 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: Well, since you brought it up, I was just going 73 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: to allow Dallas Cowboys a go cowboys, But since. 74 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 3: You brought it yeah, yeah, Look, the Cardinals have really 75 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 3: done themselves a good favor by beating your divisional opponents 76 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 3: that you've have faced this year in the Rams and 77 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 3: the forty nine Ers are going to enter Monday Night's 78 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 3: game with two wins. Those were the most important for 79 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 3: the reasons you just mentioned. It's a very very different 80 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 3: hole to dig yourself out of if you are two 81 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 3: and five versus three and four. So now there's no 82 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 3: panic with this team. You got to go get this 83 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 3: win in Miami, and you gotta go to five hundred 84 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 3: and then you're right, keep yourself atop the division, and 85 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 3: then when it gets to late in their season and 86 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 3: you start seeing these divisional opponents again, those games are 87 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 3: absolutely going to be crucial. 88 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: This is why the win against the Chargers on Monday 89 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: Night was so important. Historically, teams that begin three and 90 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: four have a nineteen percent chance of making the postseason 91 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: teams that start two and five six and a half 92 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: percent chance because you have dug yourself such a hole 93 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: to where your three games under five hundred. Right now, 94 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: you're just a game with a very winnable game on 95 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: the road against the Miami Dolphins. Yes, to a tongue 96 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: of Baloa is expected to be back. He was on 97 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: the practice field for the first time in six weeks 98 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: on Wednesday. And yes, they have a stout defense, which 99 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: we will get into a little bit later on. But 100 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: first things first, it is going to be difficult for 101 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: the Cardinals because can't have nice things, a big win 102 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: on Monday night, and then you wake up the next 103 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: morning and you hear Jonathan Gannon say Dennis Gardak done 104 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: for the season because of a torn acl same knee 105 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: he tore a couple of years back. So this is 106 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: now the fourth defensive starter lost for the season, joining 107 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: b jo Jo, Lauri, Justin Jones, and blaw Nichols. 108 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 3: It's a tough blow from what Gardik brings in terms 109 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 3: of experience in that room and the type of player 110 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 3: he is and what he adds into that locker room, 111 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 3: not just on the defense, special teams as well. It 112 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 3: was in the third quarter they were on the punt 113 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 3: return team, and it looked like Gardak maybe just got 114 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 3: tangled up or chipped a little bit and kind of 115 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 3: fell or swung funny on that knee. And when he 116 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 3: goes directly into the locker room and then comes out, 117 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 3: even though Listen does questionable in street clothes usually not 118 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 3: a sign of good things to come. It's unfortunate. You 119 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 3: never want to see a player who's given so much 120 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 3: to this organization and just the type of person Gardak 121 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 3: is also in the community. Is to see someone go 122 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 3: through that adversity again the second time for an ACL 123 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 3: on that knee is just really rough to see. The 124 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 3: defense has to find a way, though, to have that 125 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,679 Speaker 3: next man up mentality and not have a drop off. 126 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 3: Hopefully they can use it to their advantage that this 127 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 3: defense already likes to use a heavy rotation, so it's 128 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 3: not necessarily taking a player who hasn't had a lot 129 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 3: of reps or game time experience and just getting a 130 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 3: little more A name you're absolutely going to have to 131 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 3: see step up as rookie Xavier Thomas, he was starting 132 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 3: the season on the active roster. He saw snap counts 133 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 3: decrease and the last couple of games has been inactive. 134 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 3: It's likely we're going to see him active now, just 135 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 3: at least have a body out there. You got to 136 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 3: start getting something from that rookie. 137 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: Last three games, Thomas has been a spectator. Victor du 138 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: mccagee another name who has been inactive for the last 139 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: five games. Do you see more of Jesse Luketta, Julian Alkuara, 140 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: Ronnie Perkins. You signed to the practice squad a couple 141 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: of weeks back, so there are bodies, but again you're 142 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: losing your leading sack artist and Dennis Gardak who had 143 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: a team best three this season. Not a lot, but 144 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: he was getting home more times than not, if not 145 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: with a full sack, at least pressuring the opposing quarterback. 146 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: So yeah, there's snaps available. And then guys like Xavin Collins, 147 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: how much more now falls on his shoulders to be 148 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: that guy? And I know the edge rusher in Nick 149 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: Rolis's defense is asked to do a lot. It's not 150 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: just go get the quarterback. It's drop into coverage. It's 151 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: set the edge, occupy space so someone else can make 152 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: the play. It's not just all right, let's go find 153 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: someone who can get you six or seven sacks and 154 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: be a third down pass rusher, because I don't think 155 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: within this defense the Cardinals want someone who's just a 156 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: one down snap guy. 157 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 3: And the same is true for the defensive line. That 158 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 3: was a discussion in this past spring with a lot 159 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 3: of the free agents of defensive tackles who are asking 160 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 3: for a lot of money and that just isn't the 161 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 3: scheme of what this defense is. And the same rings 162 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 3: true for your outside linebackers. A name we haven't mentioned though, 163 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 3: is not even in that position. Room linebacker Mac Wilson Senior, 164 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 3: a player they brought in in large part because of 165 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 3: his versatility and his ability to move outside to the 166 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 3: edges and disrupt the quarterback, and how strong of he is, 167 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 3: strong of a tackler he is, and the damage that 168 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 3: he can do. We've seen him a bit outside. There's 169 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 3: a chance we see him even more. We see Chris 170 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 3: Barnes fill in next to Kaiser White a little bit 171 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 3: more Owen Papo depending on his health. He missed the 172 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 3: last game with a hip injury. I think that we 173 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 3: could see them rely on Wilson as one of the 174 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 3: pass rushers a little more than we already have. 175 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: Who are your best eleven regardless of position, and if 176 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: you like what Mac gives you on the outside, and 177 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: as well as Chris Barnes has played to step in 178 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: and be that other inside linebacker. And in talking with 179 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 1: Mac and Locke, his eyes light up when he's asked 180 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: about rushing the quarterback. I think any linebacker, whether you 181 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: or the inside or outside linebacker, you want to go 182 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: get the opposing quarterback. And he showed he was able 183 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: to do that late last season with the Patriots, and 184 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: he has been given more opportunity certain situations down in distance. 185 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: It's not all the time, but I like that scene 186 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: number two maybe a little bit more, not saying you 187 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: permanently move him there, but if you aren't getting home 188 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: with the Xavion Collins or Xavier Thomas or someone else 189 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 1: in that outside linebacker room, well you've got to figure 190 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: out some way to affect the quarterback. Because I know 191 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: JG doesn't like sacks as a winning stat but he 192 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: does like it when the opposing quarterback is uncomfortable in 193 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: the pocket. 194 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 3: And it's more than just sacks to get there. The hurries, 195 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 3: the pressures, the knockdowns, batting down the passes. All of 196 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 3: those things come into play. Wilson didn't have a ton 197 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 3: of snaps in New England last year. The being in 198 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 3: the same division as the Miami Dolphins, does he have 199 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 3: any sort of leg up against Tongua VII. 200 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: Laura, like what you did. They're connecting the dots. 201 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 3: Thank you. I feel like Paul calves with that segue. 202 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 3: I think why I always try and give Paul a compliment. 203 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 3: I don't know why, Cass and you are just always 204 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 3: against it. 205 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,719 Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of Cardinals underground, and considering how 206 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: Paul treats you and Darren, I don't know why anyone 207 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: would want to reciprocate with a compliment to Paul. 208 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 3: I mean, Paul's just more meaning to Darren, not me. 209 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: Get that clip there, cutting make sure we get that 210 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 1: to the powers that be that need to hear that 211 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 1: Before we get to that segue though, because there are 212 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: some other notes as we speak here on this Wednesday 213 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: edition of Cardinals Cover two presented by Hyundai, probably partner 214 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: of the Arizona Cardinals, a little bit different of a 215 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: practice week. Given a Monday night game, players had Tuesday off, 216 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: they had Wednesday morning off. They're doing a walkthrough Wednesday afternoon, 217 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: So who is going to be out there. It's going 218 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: to be more of an estimation. I know a lot 219 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: of eyes are going to be on Darius Robinson and 220 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: what he is or is not able to do. He 221 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: does have one more week remaining in that practice window. 222 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: He must be active by next Wednesday, or he remains 223 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: on IR. The other option is, even if he's not ready, 224 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: you activate him and make him inactive game day until 225 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,839 Speaker 1: he is ready to produce. We did get some news 226 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,719 Speaker 1: that offensive lineman Christian Jones has been activated from r 227 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: He's missed his entire season with an ankle injury, so 228 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: that gives you another option as far as the offensive 229 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: line is concerned. Although Danny this offensive line in two 230 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: of the past three weeks has not allowed sec. Credit 231 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray for some of that as well, but they 232 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: are doing a good job on not only keeping the 233 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: quarterback upright, but allowing James Connor and company to find 234 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: rushing lines. 235 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 3: It's been a little quiet how well the offensive line 236 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 3: has played. And that's again without your starting right side. 237 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 3: Your right tackle Jonah Williams remains on IR, and you 238 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 3: lost your right guard, will Hernandez for the year. So 239 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 3: I like what we have seen from Calvin Beacham step 240 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 3: up as that tackle, and then it's been a little 241 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 3: bit of a rotation at that guard position with Tristan 242 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 3: alone and then the rookie Isaiah Adams getting some snaps 243 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 3: as well. It's been mostly Cologne the last two weeks, 244 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 3: and Adams in San Francisco filled in our Green Bay 245 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 3: rather filled in a little for Evan Brown when he 246 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 3: missed a few snaps with an ankle. It's clear though 247 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 3: that there is a competition there. And I like the 248 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 3: fact that we've been told that the best way to 249 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 3: get an evaluation on a player is game reps, and 250 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 3: so I like that this coaching staff is really staying 251 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 3: true to what they're saying, and they're getting the rookie 252 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 3: Adams snaps in a game to figure out where is 253 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 3: he from when we drafted him, from the start of 254 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 3: the season to now, and where do we need to 255 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 3: help him continue to grow And they're trying to figure 256 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 3: that out. What they've been doing, though, seems to be 257 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 3: working on that offensive line, and you're right credit to 258 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 3: credit to Murray who in a couple of instances extend 259 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 3: the plays and is able to use his legs or 260 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 3: hang onto the ball a little bit outside the pocket 261 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 3: before he makes a throw. It has been nice. It'll 262 00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 3: be interesting how Christian Jones plays a role. I'm not 263 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 3: sure that he really does, and I'm not saying that's 264 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 3: a bad thing. I like when you have a young 265 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 3: offensive lineman where they're not absolutely needed to come in, 266 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 3: you can give them the year to really beef up, 267 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 3: become stronger, get a better feel for going up against 268 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 3: defensive linemen and different looks and the speed of the 269 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 3: game and the communication with the other offensive lineman and 270 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 3: the quarterback. Beacham's done a nice job. You've got Paris 271 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 3: Johnson Junior on the other side. It'll be interesting to 272 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 3: see how, if at all, they incorporate Christian Jones into 273 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 3: these game day reps. 274 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: Curious because you have Charlie Heck, a veteran who has 275 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: played limited because of injuries this season, but is a veteran, 276 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: and is he further ahead of the rookie, or because 277 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: you've got Christian Jones and you're building him to potentially 278 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: be that bookend opposite Paris Johnson Junior and a year 279 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,839 Speaker 1: or two, how do you mix and match Because this 280 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: is now, and I was talking with Jim on Mahundra 281 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: earlier in the locker room during media availability. We have 282 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: seen now each of the past two Cardinals coaching staffs 283 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: rotate offensive linemen within a game. Typically that's unheard of 284 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: because you want those five to beat together for every 285 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: single snap. But whether it's not because of injury, but 286 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: you're trying to test see something, get someone's feet wet, 287 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: or see what they do or capable of doing when 288 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: the lights come on, you're seeing that more and more. 289 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: The New York Giants did it for a while, and 290 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: I think maybe the philosophy has changed as far as, hey, 291 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: how do you get better playing football? We actually have 292 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: to go play the game, not just practice it. So 293 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: as long as you're not shuffling out three or four 294 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: different guys on the offensive line is not as long 295 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: as you're doing the hockey line change. But maybe once 296 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: a half, once a quarter, and it's maybe a certain 297 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: position in which you really have maybe a question mark 298 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: or more of a question than the other four along. 299 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 3: The line question to consider. If you want to get 300 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 3: Jones in as your right tackle, you feel comfortable doing 301 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 3: that if you've got a rotation going on at the 302 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 3: right guard, true, or does this coaching staff look, maybe 303 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 3: this coaching staff is envisioning using some sort of rotation 304 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 3: for the rest of the season. That could be one 305 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 3: thing if they're not. If this is, let's play a 306 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 3: couple games with the rotation and see and try and 307 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 3: find a guard that really sticks. That could be a 308 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 3: difference maker of whether or not you want to put 309 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 3: in a rookie right tackle next to a rotation of 310 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 3: a right guard as well. 311 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: And this is going to be a big test this 312 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: week because the Dolphins, despite their record and their offensive struggles, 313 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: what they do very well is play defense, and they 314 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: have the highest pressure rate in the NFL. They are 315 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: very strong defensively. They have the number one scoring defense. 316 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: Let me correct that their top tier in scoring defense, 317 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: and that number one that was the Los Angeles Chargers 318 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: last week. But they are stingy defensively, especially against the pass. 319 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden, you're trying to fix 320 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: what is wrong within this passing game. It's been a 321 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: talking point for a number of weeks and here you 322 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: are in Week eight going against arguably the number one 323 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: pass defense. When you look at all the different metrics 324 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: and stats now all of a sudden, All right, is 325 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: this a week? I don't know. That's gonna be a challenge. 326 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 3: This Dolphins defense is impressive in their stout up front. 327 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 3: You're right, they are able to get I believe it's 328 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 3: forty six. Forty seven is their pressure rate, the percentage 329 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 3: they're getting back to the quarterback, which is most in 330 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 3: the league. Number one passing defense led by cornerback Jalen Ramsey, 331 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 3: who has been in the league for quite some time, 332 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 3: received high praise from offensive corny tor Drew Petsing, a 333 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 3: lot of high praise from head coach Jonathan Gannon and 334 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 3: how he's used in different packages and his skill set 335 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 3: and it's not, oh, we'll play him here is the 336 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 3: nickel or dime and it's a little bit of a 337 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 3: drop off. No, there is no dropoff wherever Ramsey is. 338 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 3: I think that's going to allow the Cardinals to rely 339 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 3: on the run game, which is really how this offense 340 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 3: gets going. You can't rely just on the run game 341 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 3: and be one dimensional, and the past game has not 342 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,959 Speaker 3: allowed them to be successful in that aspect. The blame 343 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 3: does not simply fall on wide receiver Marvin Harrison Junior. 344 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 3: Are there expectations as the fourth overall pick to come 345 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 3: in and be a difference maker. Yes, I'm not going 346 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 3: to say that's not the case. He is still a 347 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 3: rookie and it does still take time to adjust to 348 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 3: the speed of the game, communication, having to figure out 349 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 3: how to get those yards of separation and make those 350 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 3: contested catches with a new quarterback, despite working together in 351 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 3: the offseason, all of those things take time. Even though 352 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 3: fans might be a little impatient and want more right now, 353 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 3: you need more from the rest of that receiver room 354 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 3: that has experienced Ay Jones. It was his first game back. 355 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 3: Because of the suspension and then the hamstring, he was 356 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 3: not really involved in the game. Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch. 357 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 3: There have been dropped passes, there's been passes that are 358 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 3: sure communication at the line of scrimmage. It really seems 359 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 3: like everything in the past game is still having to 360 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 3: work through a lot of wrinkles that you would not 361 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 3: want to see. Week seven, Week eight, this short week, 362 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 3: we're going into week right, thank you, going into week 363 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 3: eight of the season. What I will say, and you 364 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 3: and I have talked about this off air, it is 365 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 3: a good sign that this is not something that is 366 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 3: being ignored or at least implied to the media that 367 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 3: it's all great and dandy. Every player, the quarterback, the 368 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 3: wide receivers, the offensive coordinator, or the head coach have 369 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 3: all acknowledged, yes, we need more from the passing game. 370 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 3: And that's not just the players. Petsying has talked about 371 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 3: the self scouting he's been doing on the play calls 372 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 3: he's been making, and how he can maybe adjust the 373 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 3: route trees or what needs to be done there. It 374 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 3: is a question mark, and this is going to be 375 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 3: a tough week. If you're trying to turn things around quickly, 376 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 3: is going up against this Miami passing defense that's really 377 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 3: not going to give you a lot to work with. 378 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: I thought we got a very honest assessment of the 379 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: offense overall from Kyler Murray earlier on Wednesday, and specifically 380 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 1: about the passing game, because remember, this is a top 381 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 1: ten run game, but a bottom third pass game. And 382 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: to your point, Danny, you can't be one dimensional maybe 383 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: once in a while, i e. Monday Night against the Chargers, 384 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 1: but sustaining throughout an entire season. You have to have both, 385 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: and in this league you have to have a little 386 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: bit more in the pass game, and right now this 387 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: Cardinals team doesn't have it, and there is frustration from 388 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: US media, the fans, and there's frustration in that locker 389 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 1: room because that is what Kyler Murray mentioned earlier. The 390 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: expectations are higher for me. Those were the words out 391 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: of Kyler Murray on Wednesday, And we've heard that expectation 392 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 1: going back into the offseason after they drafted Marvin Harrison Junior, 393 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: the number of different offensive weapons with Trey McBride, James Connor, everyone, 394 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden, here you are and 395 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 1: you're not getting the job done through the air. You're 396 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: making it more difficult on yourself with eight nine ten plays, 397 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: scoring drives, the explosive plays are not there. More plays 398 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: equal more opportunity for mistakes. Mistakes happen. Then all of 399 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: a sudden, you're relying on field goals or you're turning 400 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: the ball over and you're giving it to the opposition. So, yes, 401 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: it is broken, but it's fixable. And now the question is, 402 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: all right, how much longer do we wait until things 403 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: get fixed? 404 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 3: What are the options? If you want to talk about 405 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 3: Harrison specifically, do you continue to feed the ball to him, 406 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 3: not forcing it in the sense where you're making poor 407 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 3: decisions and crucial game moments. Do you continue to feed 408 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 3: the ball to him and get those reps in that experience, 409 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 3: or do you try and change him up in his 410 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 3: routree a little bit. We saw Harrison across the middle 411 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 3: and the slant a little bit more some of those 412 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 3: shorter yardage. I'd like to continue to see a lot 413 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 3: of routes like that to build the confidence there and 414 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 3: really try and carry things over from week to week, 415 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 3: from play to play, rather than simply relying on him 416 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 3: out wide on the go route for those big deep plays. 417 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 3: I think confidence is something that needs to continue to 418 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 3: grow and that goes hand in hand with the comfortability 419 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 3: with this offense. Is the more comfortable you are, the 420 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 3: more confidence you're going to feel, and those need to 421 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 3: work in tandem. And I think that's something which is 422 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 3: understandable and very reasonable that as a rookie is going 423 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 3: to take time. That's not in the sense of anyone 424 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 3: has expressed anything saying that Harrison himself are from the 425 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 3: outside doesn't feel comfortable or doesn't look confident, because it's 426 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 3: been the opposite. I'm just saying from a bigger picture. 427 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 3: Those two things are really important, especially for a young 428 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 3: wide receiver that is new to the league. 429 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 1: The expectations that we have are not going to be 430 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: any higher than what Marvin puts on himself, that Kyler 431 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: puts on himself. Yet at the same time, those expectations 432 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 1: through seven games have not been met. With a top 433 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: five draft pick, you invest that much draft capital in 434 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: an individual, you'll, regardless of where they play, you expect 435 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: something out of them out of the gate. And we 436 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 1: have not gotten that out of Marvin. Monday mark the 437 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: fourth game of three or fewer receptions and he has 438 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: not had more than five receptions in any one game. 439 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: And that's fine if you are double teamed or there's 440 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: a safety over our top because you're dictating coverage and 441 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: everyone is focused on you. That's fine. Now someone else, 442 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 1: Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch, Zay Jones, whomever, you better be 443 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: taking over the production and having those six seventy plus 444 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: receiving yard games with a touchdown or two. The problem 445 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: is that's not happening. You can't have both things because 446 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: now the balance is way off. 447 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 3: There have been a few instances the Greg Dortch touchdown 448 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 3: Monday night against the Chargers was because Harrison was double 449 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 3: teamed on the other side of the end zone. I 450 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 3: think back to San Francisco Harrison only having two receptions, 451 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 3: they were both crucial, that big one on fourth down 452 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 3: on that final drive to set up the game winning 453 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 3: field goal. You need more than flashes for what you 454 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 3: have invested, and not just in Harrison, but the offensive 455 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 3: line to keep your quarterback upright and healthy and giving 456 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 3: him time to throw your other weapons in the tight 457 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 3: end room of blocking with the run game to open 458 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 3: up the play action, or to be reliable receivers. You 459 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 3: have dedicated a lot of resources and money into this 460 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 3: offense and you do need to get it rolling. It 461 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 3: is fixable because we have seen the flashes from this 462 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 3: year from players on this roster even last season, like 463 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 3: a tight end Trey McBride a Michael Wilson out wide. 464 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 3: You do need to find ways quicker rather than later 465 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 3: to really get it rolling. 466 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: Though this season, there's too much talent in that room. 467 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: There's too much knowledge amongst the coaches, the offensive coaches 468 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: that all right, you have all the pieces, how do 469 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: you put those pieces together to get this offense to 470 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: where everyone knows it has the potential to be, yet 471 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: we haven't seen it. Especially recently. This team is averaging 472 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: sixteen points a game over the last five weeks. That's 473 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: just not good enough. I mean, you're not gonna be 474 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: at any team outside of the Chargers with sick with 475 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: only sixteen points because I was a seventeen to fifteen game. 476 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: But the bottom line is, I don't care. Now. You know, 477 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: if you're okay with where the passing game is, and 478 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone is, and the run game is 479 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: very good, you're still not However, you're getting closer to 480 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,719 Speaker 1: the end zone, you're not finishing plays. So now all 481 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's yeah, we're focused on the pass game. 482 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: But it was interesting when Jonathan Ganna was asked about stats, 483 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: He's like, all, the only stat I care about is 484 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: wins and losses. Well, in order to have wins and losses, 485 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: you have to score points, and this Cardinals team right 486 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,239 Speaker 1: now is not scoring enough points because the defense is 487 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: giving this team opportunities to win more games than the 488 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: three that they already have had. 489 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 3: Absolutely, and when you were mentioning earlier the sustainability of 490 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 3: just relying on the run, you also have to think 491 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 3: about the sustainable ability of your runners. You don't want 492 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 3: to have a season whereas much as James Connor would 493 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 3: love to run the rock thirty times a game, you 494 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 3: got to protect him. And that's another reason why you 495 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 3: also need that pass game to go with, so you're 496 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 3: not having to rely on the run game as much 497 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 3: as they have been. They are set up to be 498 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,239 Speaker 3: able to rely on the run game and to be 499 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 3: able for this offense to really get rolling once you 500 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 3: get hot and you create rhythm on the ground. You 501 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 3: can't simply rely on Connor the entire game. 502 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: There are two skilled players. I'm not putting Kyler Murray 503 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: in this category, but there are two skilled players I 504 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: trust implicitly, James Connor Trey McBride. Everyone else there are 505 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: question marks because you haven't seen it. They're either young, unproven, 506 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: have shown flashes, but just haven't developed to be that guy. 507 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: And to your point, yeah, you asked, James, sure, give 508 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: me the ball thirty thirty five times, give me thirty 509 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: five touches in the run pass game. Yet he's already 510 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: over one hundred carries through seven games already, and running 511 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: backs take a beating, and someone else needs to be 512 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: able to step up. And right now, I'm curious who's 513 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: gonna walk through that door, because right now it just 514 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 1: hasn't been Marvin Michael derch Zay Jones has only played 515 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: one game and played a handful of snaps, so it's 516 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: really unfair for him. But someone needs to take hold 517 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: of that wide receiver room and say I'm the guy 518 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: throw me the ball. I'm open, I'll catch it, and 519 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: then after I do catch it, I'll get to you 520 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: the yards after contact after the catch, and get you 521 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: close to the end zone. If not in the end zone, 522 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: maybe this. 523 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 3: Time next week we'll be eating our words and the 524 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 3: wide receivers will really show up against the number one 525 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 3: passing defense in the league in Miami. 526 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: Then if that happens, do we get to take credit 527 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 1: for the inspiration. 528 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 3: I'm not going to tell the players that I would 529 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 3: take credit for the inspiration. No, no, But if you 530 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 3: want to say it on the podcast. 531 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: Sure, but we should because again it's early. Yet it's 532 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: not because with the seventeen game schedule it's kind of weird. 533 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: You can't say the halfway point. But we are darn 534 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 1: near at the halfway point of the season and we're 535 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: still waiting for an offense or passing offense to really 536 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: click into gear. I think they've only had two hundred 537 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 1: and fifty passing yards once this season, maybe twice, But 538 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 1: I mean Kyler Murray was able to throw for one 539 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: hundred and forty five yards against the Chargers and still win. 540 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: I mean the last time he had that few passing 541 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: yards in a victory was last season at Pittsburgh when 542 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: they were lied on James Connor on the ground and 543 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: pounded it against the Steelers because. 544 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 3: It was raining and we had a hour and a 545 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 3: half halftime because of all the lightning and rain. 546 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: So you would you prefer then some rainy weather in Miami? 547 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 3: Where are you manifesting that honly in Miami of all places. 548 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 3: I don't want to talk about the weather. I don't 549 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 3: want to think about the weather. I do not want 550 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 3: to bring any bad juju or jinxes over that game. 551 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 3: I mean Green Bay was enough for me. 552 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: Okay, it's a two day trip, though, Danny, it is. 553 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 3: That's not only is it a short week with it's 554 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 3: a three day week. So it is incredibly condensed in 555 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 3: terms of content and cramming everything in. 556 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 1: By the way, speaking of content, sideline Exchange. This week, 557 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,959 Speaker 1: the guest is Starling Thomas, who I'm a big fan of. 558 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: I don't know too much about him as far as 559 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: speaking with him, but the fact that you had someone 560 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: who a year ago came in without an offseason, without 561 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: a training camp because he was on another team, gets 562 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: claimed by the Cardinals, and all of a sudden, little 563 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: by littles, there's Starling Thomas on the field. There's Starling 564 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: Thomas starting games. And I think right now, if he's 565 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: not the cornerback, is in the mix to be a 566 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: solid rotation piece in the secondary. And dare I say 567 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: maybe part of this future long term with the Arizona Cardinals. 568 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 3: He is part of the long term future. The way 569 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 3: he's been playing and stepping up, the fact that he 570 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 3: was able to pick up this scheme and what this 571 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 3: coaching staff was looking for so quickly last year and 572 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 3: practices to earn that starting role. And then when the 573 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 3: Cardinals draft Max Melton pretty high in this year's draft 574 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 3: and have a little bit of competition in training camp 575 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 3: there because you bring in a veteran and Shah Murphy 576 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 3: bunting to be the opposite starter, and Thomas continued to 577 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 3: win that battle. And has looked good. Even though there 578 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 3: has been a bit of a rotation with Thomas and 579 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 3: Melton at times, he really has performed well and stepped up. 580 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,959 Speaker 3: Think that he meshes really well with that secondary, and 581 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,479 Speaker 3: we're looking at the safety room as well of Buddha 582 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 3: Baker and Jalen Thompson. So I think it's going to 583 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 3: be a good conversation. The timing normally, I've already recorded 584 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 3: the interview by the time we record the podcast, with 585 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 3: the practice schedule and everything, recording it after the podcast. 586 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: So something to look forward to on Asycardinals dot com 587 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: and all your social media channels. Speaking of that Cardinals 588 00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: secondary and cornerbacks, Garrett Williams is this week Big Red 589 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: Rage guest six pm at Trophy and Chandler. If you 590 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: can't make it, then a course listen to it on 591 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: Arizona Sports. But there's another player that is solidly in 592 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: the mix as far as the future of this team 593 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: in that secondary. So you got a lot of young 594 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: players Garrett Williams, Darling Thomas, Max Melton who I think 595 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: Max you're going to see play a little bit more 596 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: as the weeks progress, especially considering the uncertainty with Sean 597 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: Murphy Bunty. Now that's twice in two weeks in which 598 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: he's left the game because of a neck injury. You 599 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: hope the best for him, but you can never have 600 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: enough corners, and right now those cornerbacks in the Cardinals 601 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: room are very young cornerbacks. 602 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 3: The Big Red Rage, the guest every week, truly is 603 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,479 Speaker 3: really great in that setting with Wolf and Paul and 604 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 3: all the fans out there at Trophy in the live 605 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 3: setting and being a little more relaxable, more lifestyle from 606 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 3: the times I have spoken with Garrett Williams. Though, holy smoke, 607 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 3: if there's a player you want to go watch and 608 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 3: listen to live because they are just going to give 609 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 3: you incredible tidbits, not just about this team and football, 610 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 3: but his life and what he's experienced. He would absolutely 611 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 3: be top of the list. If you were to ask 612 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 3: me for five players of don't miss conversations, ye, Williams 613 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 3: will be up there for me. Now a programming know, 614 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 3: I wasn't even paid extra to say that. That is 615 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 3: genuine feelings towards Garrett Williams and being on The Big 616 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 3: Red Rage this week. 617 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: You'll have to excuse Garrett though, if he might be 618 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: a little bit sidetracked or distracted during the Big Red Rage. 619 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 3: Let me gues Syracuse football. 620 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 1: Syracuse plays Pittsburgh on Thursday night, and there's already discussions 621 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: in that Cardinals locker room between Garrett Williams and others 622 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: not named James Connor yet. Talk to Garrett a little 623 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: bit on Wednesday and hasn't discussed things yet with James Connor. 624 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 1: But there's some other people, personnel, people within the Arizona 625 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: Cardinals organization with ties to the Pittsburgh program, in which 626 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: maybe there'll be some bets and some consequences if some 627 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: team doesn't win. So yes, but that's also a Thursday. 628 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: I believe that's a four point thirty kickoffs. So again, 629 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: by that point for the Big Red Rage, you're probably 630 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: in the second half, maybe Syracuse comfortably ahead. So Shara 631 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: Williams will have a solid conversation with Paul and Wolf. 632 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 3: Sure, I mean sure, sure, Syracuse. 633 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 1: Okay, you want to talk about your alma mater. You 634 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: got a big one coming up on Saturday. I know, 635 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: start talking a little trash to Mac Wilson. No oh, 636 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: no oh, why not. 637 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 3: I'm not going to talk trash to somebody who could 638 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 3: put me in a headlock. 639 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: It's just fun banter. When your alma maters go again. 640 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 3: You know what I will let. I'll let Tristan Cologne 641 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 3: or Darius Robinson handle the trash talk on Maszoo's behalf. 642 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: Okay, And then once because I'm gonna manifest this well, 643 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna speak it into existence. Once Missouri does beat 644 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: Alabama on Saturday, you can walk up to Mac maybe 645 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon or Saturday or Sunday before the game and 646 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: just say m I Z and see what kind of 647 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: how he reacts, see what kind of. 648 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 3: Response you get that sounds risky. 649 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: Or just make sure you're standing next to Darius. 650 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 3: Yes, for protection? Yeah, for protection, not a bad idea. 651 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: Okay, make sure you pack your sunscreen in. 652 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 3: The bathing suit. Apparently our hotel has a water park. 653 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 3: How about that? 654 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 1: Can't wait for the contents on that.

I did suggest perhaps a cabana for you guys. 657 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 3: You footing the bill, No, you. 658 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: Sign it off, figure out whatever room number, or just 659 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: say it's you a rabbin last name, urban charge it 660 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 1: to that room. Fine by me, Okay, it should be 661 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: a lot of fun. 662 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 3: I'm excited my first time to Miami. 663 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: Last time the Cardinals were in Miami. Asked Paul about that, because. 664 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 3: It didn't because I know what we're gonna I told you, 665 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 3: I don't want to talk about the weather. Crag. 666 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: Okay, just the weather's good.
