Speaker 1: Rage taking over. Here's Paul CALVC. Get the popcorn ready,
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a show and Ron will flip. It
Speaker 1: doesn't get any better than that. Unleash the far and
Speaker 1: we start by quoting zach Ertz, mister two touchdowns and
Speaker 1: one spike in the face of the twelves quote, Really,
Speaker 1: there is no worse feeling than losing before the bye week. Well, well,
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals don't have to worry about that, not
Speaker 1: after winning in Seattle for the fifth time in seven years.
Speaker 1: As it turns out, Ron Wolfley, you were there. It
Speaker 1: was raining in Seattle. It was raining down booze from
Speaker 1: the Twelves, ripping the home team as the fans actually
Speaker 1: left early, just like coach Double Rainbow bolted as press
Speaker 1: conference early afterwards as they have hit rock bottom in
Speaker 1: Seattle thanks to the Arizona Cardinals in a twenty three
Speaker 1: thirteen win that leaves the Cardinals wait for it, nine
Speaker 1: and two, six and Ozo on the road four and
Speaker 1: oh in the division success Ron Wolflee, can you handle
Speaker 1: it tonight on the Big Red Rage presented by Santan
Speaker 1: Ford and Gilbert we are satan for of course I
Speaker 1: can handle it, Polly. The question is can you handle
Speaker 1: it from your sideline perspective right now? It's amazing that
Speaker 1: you bring that up, because as the booze we're starting
Speaker 1: to rain down. I looked at Dave Passion, I was like,
Speaker 1: have you ever heard that before? Never? Never, Polly, You've
Speaker 1: been there as well, You've been on that sideline. Have
Speaker 1: you ever heard the twelves booing Russell Wilson in the
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks? Not once? And look, the Cardinals have won
Speaker 1: up there before. Never have they turned on the home team.
Speaker 1: And I think it's the realization that, oh boy, we're
Speaker 1: not very good and we're old. Oh boy, we're not
Speaker 1: very good. We're old, and we don't have much of
Speaker 1: a future when it comes to draft picks thanks to
Speaker 1: the Jamal Adam straight and some other busted first round picks.
Speaker 1: I mean, things are looking dire in the Pacific Northwest. Polly,
Speaker 1: you think about this. Right here, there was a fourth
Speaker 1: down play where the Arizona Cardinals went fall. It a
Speaker 1: fourth down play that they targeted Jamal Adams. Think about
Speaker 1: that for a minute, right now, Okay, where Colt McCoy
Speaker 1: they cleared everybody out and they put zach Ertz on.
Speaker 1: They put zach Ertz on Jamal Adams, and Colt McCoy
Speaker 1: targeted him. Paul, stop and think about that. And they
Speaker 1: got a DPI against him because in man cover, he
Speaker 1: can't do it. He can't. Got to think about this.
Speaker 1: You're to how much money did Jamal Adams get, Paul,
Speaker 1: how much was he paid? I'm telling you what it was.
Speaker 1: It was a boatload up there in Seattle that he got.
Speaker 1: And you're telling me that you're gonna get targeted because
Speaker 1: you can't cover a man in man coverage. That is
Speaker 1: that is unbelievable. Well, Wolf, if you would have been
Speaker 1: listening to the sideline reports, what did we say near
Speaker 1: the top of the broadcast from the field that if
Speaker 1: they had their chances, yes downfield in coverage, they would
Speaker 1: go after number thirty three. And that's what they did
Speaker 1: in that critical moment. It was. It was one of
Speaker 1: a bunch of Cliff Kingsbury play calls and look, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm like you, Wolf, and it's you know, it's so
Speaker 1: subjective and how the heck is Paully pencil had qualified
Speaker 1: it to But when it comes to the old laminated
Speaker 1: play sheet, I mean, Cliff Kingsbury was on his a game,
Speaker 1: was he not? Yeah, no, there's no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: Paully I thought this was one of his best games,
Speaker 1: one of his best called games. There was one call
Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now and again, remember remember the
Speaker 1: shuttle pass to Larry Fitzgerald. To remember that to play
Speaker 1: that Dave. Of course he called it a shovel pass.
Speaker 1: I called it the shuttle pass. I understand different terminologies
Speaker 1: right there, but remember that play. Larry scored in a touchdown,
Speaker 1: and that play to me was so well thought out.
Speaker 1: It was a play who knew they were practicing for
Speaker 1: two years and practice and it never used in a game,
Speaker 1: and then suddenly BA called it. And that was one
Speaker 1: play that I pointed to and said, what a great
Speaker 1: call that truly is. Play number two where I've ever
Speaker 1: said that in like seventeen years of broadcasting happened up
Speaker 1: in Seattle with Cliff Kingsbury and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: the Colt McCoy quarterback draw that to me, Paul, nobody
Speaker 1: saw that coming. Nobody saw that James Connor leading up
Speaker 1: through the hole. That was so well thought out, so
Speaker 1: well executed. It caught the Seahawks by surprise in the
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals at a first in goal. All right, So
Speaker 1: two notes on that number One, what did Cliff Kingsbury
Speaker 1: tell us in the postgame radio interview that he'd been
Speaker 1: sitting on that for a couple of weeks. He wanted
Speaker 1: and called against Carolina, but he's like, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to waste it in this game because this game's a goner.
Speaker 1: Number two. Colt McCoy was a guest on the Dave
Speaker 1: Pash podcast and coming up a little bit later on
Speaker 1: The Big Red Rage, he'll give you the inside and
Speaker 1: the insight that play call in particular, right there, love that.
Speaker 1: But first here's Cliff Kingsbury on the message heading into
Speaker 1: the Seattle showdown. We talked about what was in front
Speaker 1: of us beginning of the week. You know, we were
Speaker 1: so disappointed after last week, but we came in we
Speaker 1: pointed out, hey, this is what's in front of us,
Speaker 1: the best record of football and undefeated in the division
Speaker 1: going in our by weekend. Any of us would have
Speaker 1: taken that start of the saying, so let's finish it,
Speaker 1: let's get to that point. How many times did you
Speaker 1: say after the game that the Cardinals were ticked off?
Speaker 1: He didn't exactly use that word ticked, but they were
Speaker 1: ticked off and they were angry. And you know what,
Speaker 1: any team that loses like that at home to Carolina,
Speaker 1: a lackluster game, you know, it was it's almost it's
Speaker 1: almost like they took a sick day from work. It's
Speaker 1: like they were sick of playing football. I mean, they
Speaker 1: just didn't show up. But the way they were spotted,
Speaker 1: and did we not talk about that before the game.
Speaker 1: It's all about how you respond to a game like that,
Speaker 1: because that seemingly has happened to every single division leader.
Speaker 1: No You're right, PAULI, it really has. It's not just
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, no way. It's happened to a lot of
Speaker 1: good teams across the league. I'd say over the last
Speaker 1: three weeks, if you went back and looked at it, Man,
Speaker 1: I think most people would be stunned at how many
Speaker 1: good teams talking maybe not great teams, but good teams
Speaker 1: lost a sub five hundred teams. Here's here's what I
Speaker 1: love right now the most about where the Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 1: are at nine and two going into the by Paul,
Speaker 1: it's the fact that they are now six and oo
Speaker 1: on the road and have now beat four playoff teams
Speaker 1: from a year ago. Paul, four playoff teams from a
Speaker 1: year ago in their stadium by double digits. Horrible, A Paul,
Speaker 1: that is that is the hallmark right there. That is
Speaker 1: a calling card of being a really, really good football team.
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones is a really really good football player because
Speaker 1: he's your NFC Defensive Player of the Week for the
Speaker 1: second time this season. After two sacks, three quarterback hits,
Speaker 1: two tackles for loss. He had four tackles overall and
Speaker 1: a forced fumble. And guess what he led the way
Speaker 1: for a Cardinals defense that paved the way to this
Speaker 1: nine and two record. Here's Chandler, so walk up to
Speaker 1: the field with the best record in NFL. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's an amazing feeling. It goes to show you that
Speaker 1: none of the work goes in vain that we put
Speaker 1: in throughout the week and other for us to do
Speaker 1: it without, you know, Kyler and Dehap. It goes and
Speaker 1: show you that the strength of our deaths you know,
Speaker 1: next man up, and that all reflects to our to
Speaker 1: our front office, and our and our coaches. How about
Speaker 1: Chandler also saying after the game that Colt McCoy told him,
Speaker 1: you know what, just play more, feel the game, think less.
Speaker 1: Almost like in baseball when you're a slump, you tell
Speaker 1: a hitter, you get up there and just say, you
Speaker 1: know what, seaball hit ball. Keep it simple. You have
Speaker 1: all the moves, you have all the experience. It was
Speaker 1: interesting to hear him say that Colton McCoy was the
Speaker 1: guy who gave him some value added advice. Paullie, how
Speaker 1: many times have we had the conversation about accountability. Accountability?
Speaker 1: That's part of accountability. It is the fact that you
Speaker 1: would walk up to a teammate and actually say something
Speaker 1: to him that you think is going to help him.
Speaker 1: That's what Colt McCoy did. And then it speaks to
Speaker 1: the incredible humility the accountability of Colton McCoy, a leader
Speaker 1: who's been around for a long time and watched a
Speaker 1: lot of football not only on tape but live and
Speaker 1: in person as well, and watching chant and feeling comfortable
Speaker 1: enough to walk up the chan and give him that
Speaker 1: little tip right there, you know what, just just play.
Speaker 1: It looks like you're thinking too much. And and then
Speaker 1: here's the here's the second part of it that I
Speaker 1: love the humility of Chandler Jones to receive that, Paul,
Speaker 1: to receive that from a backup quarterback. I mean, here's
Speaker 1: a guy who's led the NFL and sacks ever since
Speaker 1: he entered the league twenty twelve. Here's a guy who
Speaker 1: easily could have looked down at Cole McCoy and said,
Speaker 1: you know what, I sack guys like you for breakfast.
Speaker 1: What are you telling me about how to do my job?
Speaker 1: But he didn't take it that way, right, So you
Speaker 1: know that's how this team that's and wolf is that
Speaker 1: not evidence of the evolution from a year ago, the
Speaker 1: leadership provided and leader and then some of that input received.
Speaker 1: Yes once again, though, PAULI, it really is it's it's
Speaker 1: the accountability. It explains what is going on inside that
Speaker 1: locker room. You and I we've heard the reports. There's
Speaker 1: no nobody in that locker room that isn't accountable to
Speaker 1: somebody else. There's nobody in that locker room who doesn't
Speaker 1: have a peer. There's nobody in that locker room that
Speaker 1: other guys can't walk up to and speak into their career,
Speaker 1: so to speak, speak into their life and what it
Speaker 1: is that they're doing. I love the accountability. He got
Speaker 1: a bunch of dogs, Paul, They got a bunch of
Speaker 1: dogs barking in that locker room. And I'll tell you
Speaker 1: what Cliff Kingsbury loved, you know, doing something about those
Speaker 1: slow starts that he cited here and there. Right, they
Speaker 1: come out, they go sixteen plays, they go eighty two yards.
Speaker 1: They had three third down conversions, and Cliff Kingsbury talked
Speaker 1: about that after the Seattle win. Yeah, I thought Cole
Speaker 1: was tremendous on third down, checking it down when it
Speaker 1: wasn't there, getting through his progressions and extending drives and
Speaker 1: that really kind of put us over the top. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the decision making for Cole McCoy, obviously that was big.
Speaker 1: Then speaking of Cole McCoy, I mean, think about it, fans.
Speaker 1: Joseph said it well this week he said, how many
Speaker 1: teams lose their starting quarterback and then actually win two
Speaker 1: out of three division road games? He said, most teams
Speaker 1: in that situation go, oh for three. Here's Colt McCoy
Speaker 1: on winning as a starter. Well, to be honest, it's
Speaker 1: just my responsibility. That's how I see it. I came
Speaker 1: here to be a part of this team, in this group,
Speaker 1: and when your numbers called like, that's my role. I'm
Speaker 1: proud to have won a couple of games on the road.
Speaker 1: So I'm very thankful that Kyler guy one more week arrest.
Speaker 1: We gotta win going into the bye week, all the
Speaker 1: bumps and bruises and Hopkins and some of the old
Speaker 1: lineman can have some time to rest and recover, and
Speaker 1: we're in a pretty good shape to move forward. What
Speaker 1: do you think that says to every other guy on
Speaker 1: that sideline? What do you think that says to every
Speaker 1: other guy in that locker room? Paul? That Colt McCoy
Speaker 1: went out there and played as well as he did
Speaker 1: two of the three games. No, forget about the Carolina game,
Speaker 1: all right, I mean there was nobody who played well,
Speaker 1: at least in my assessment, there was nobody that actually
Speaker 1: played well in that Carolina game. I mean, I thought
Speaker 1: Big Red had a bad games. What do you doe it?
Speaker 1: It was? It was bad. Stop and think about it. Man,
Speaker 1: What that says to every guy on that sideline and
Speaker 1: in that locker room. You do your job. Colt's gonna
Speaker 1: be fine. If Kyler goes down, the Arizona Cardinals are
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. You do your job, don't you worry
Speaker 1: about it. Colt McCoy is worthy enough, He's good enough
Speaker 1: to win games. You do your job. That's what it says.
Speaker 1: And that's a beautiful thing. And it's those two other
Speaker 1: Saints players like to say, right, next man up and
Speaker 1: the standard is the standard. Yes, you still go out
Speaker 1: and expect to win. Hey. Episode eight of Cardinal's Folk

Speaker 1: for a touchdown. Fires a deep ball right side, jump
Speaker 1: up on Hey, j Green went up high and got it.
Speaker 1: Shotguns snapped him. McCoy balls loose on the ground. He
Speaker 1: picks it up, throws over the middle. Hey, it's caught
Speaker 1: for a touchdown by Herts. McCoy off play action, goes
Speaker 1: over the middle and want a catch by Green in
Speaker 1: Seattle territory and a high pass you had. Aj Green
Speaker 1: run across the middle with the inspector. Gadget, go go,
Speaker 1: gadget get a ball and snapped McCoy. He pumps right now.
Speaker 1: He's taken down at the right time and he gets
Speaker 1: out of there, runs to the left, still running now,
Speaker 1: throws in a diving attempt and it's caught by Arts
Speaker 1: inside the thirty five at the thirty four for fifteen yards.
Speaker 1: The boy quarterbacks sneak up the middle of the fifteen
Speaker 1: of the tent, but Koy cuts left and he's wrapped
Speaker 1: up and thrown down of the eight yard line. Nap
Speaker 1: gut Cooy gave the Connor up the middle hitto the
Speaker 1: end zone. The NFL's leader in touchdowns just out another
Speaker 1: one and then might put away the Seahawks here in Seattle,
Speaker 1: four hundred and thirteen total yards. The Cardinals ran thirty
Speaker 1: more plays than the Seahawks, seventy nine to forty nine.
Speaker 1: They were seven to fourteen on third down, red zone,
Speaker 1: three or four time of possession forty to twenty two
Speaker 1: to nineteen thirty eight. And now Colt McCoy he has
Speaker 1: more wins in Seattle in his two starts the last
Speaker 1: two years than Russell Wilson and the Seahawks have at
Speaker 1: home all season long. They're now one and four at home.
Speaker 1: Whereas Cole McCoy, we were wondering before the game, who's
Speaker 1: the real McCoy. Well, based on the completion percentage and
Speaker 1: the numbers and the performance, yes, you go back to
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers win as the Cardinals get the
Speaker 1: w on the road. It is the Big Red Rage
Speaker 1: presented by santan Ford and Gilbert yours truly, Paul Kalvisi
Speaker 1: and Ron Wolfley. Here's the one thing I want to
Speaker 1: say about this, Polly, Colt McCoy, Now you've had your
Speaker 1: backup quarterback start how many games, Paul? Is it is
Speaker 1: at three? A relieve right, Pallly that it's three games, Paul.
Speaker 1: You've had your backup quarterback start, and then of course
Speaker 1: you've had Kyler Murray in the other games. They have
Speaker 1: the number one quarterback rating in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: Did you know that, Paul Combine combined, So the Commarinals
Speaker 1: quarterback rating is number one, number one, Polly, right now,
Speaker 1: and you've played your backup quarterback in three games. He
Speaker 1: started those three. I mean, honestly, I think, well, listen,
Speaker 1: quarterback rating isn't the end all be all. It isn't.
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what, Paul, year after year after
Speaker 1: year you look at the top ten quarterbacks, the usual
Speaker 1: suspects appeared. Put it that way in one of your
Speaker 1: favorite metrics. Correct me if I'm wrong, If to assess
Speaker 1: a defense, yes, is quarterback rating against defensive quarterback rating? Correct?
Speaker 1: And the Insula Cardinals are number seven in that regard, Paully.
Speaker 1: And look, it's not like Colt McCoy went out there
Speaker 1: and it was a game manager. The dude attempted forty
Speaker 1: four passes. He was thirty five of forty four for
Speaker 1: three twenty eight two touchdowns. Noe picks that passer rating
Speaker 1: of one thirteen. Yes, So you know, yeah, and think
Speaker 1: of how different, how different a challenge it is for
Speaker 1: a defense. And from what I could tell just from
Speaker 1: the sideline, they went back to the Niners game plan,
Speaker 1: and that was, guess what, We're gonna run the ball.
Speaker 1: We're gonna run it between the tackles. But then the
Speaker 1: ball is going to come out of Colt's hand real quick,
Speaker 1: and he's gonna get it to the perimeter, or he's
Speaker 1: gonna just hit some slants and some quick curls, but
Speaker 1: the ball is gonna come out quick. We're gonna get
Speaker 1: him into a rhythm, which is what Drew Stanton told
Speaker 1: us before the game. That's the key forerunning backup quarterback
Speaker 1: because they always have some rust on him, even though
Speaker 1: he's been playing recently. If you can get that guy
Speaker 1: into a rhythm early, get him some of that confidence. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know what's amazing about this too, Pauli. When you
Speaker 1: look at the resuma, Colonel's all offense and what they're
Speaker 1: doing right now, it's fascinating. Personnel is a big deal.
Speaker 1: Eleven personnel, one back, one tight end, three wide receivers.
Speaker 1: We all know about four wide receivers. That being ten personnel.
Speaker 1: Twelve personnel, of course is one back, two tight ends.
Speaker 1: But when you start breaking down these personnel groups all
Speaker 1: the way through eleven weeks of the season right now,
Speaker 1: eleven personnel and rundown situation is the number one personnel
Speaker 1: group for the Arizona Cardinals. Not really a surprise. Eleven personnel,
Speaker 1: one back, one tight end, three wide receivers forty seven
Speaker 1: percent of the time, Polly. When they're in that forty
Speaker 1: seven percent of the time, then they've got twelve personnel,
Speaker 1: which is twenty nine percent of the time, Polly, and
Speaker 1: rundown situation. And then ten personnel is fourteen percent of
Speaker 1: the time. I'll guarantee you that leads a National Football
Speaker 1: league fourteen percent of the time in rundown situations. But
Speaker 1: what's fascinating about it is when you go inside these
Speaker 1: personnel groups and look at the run pass ratio, it
Speaker 1: is this is not the air raid, Polly, this is
Speaker 1: the run raid. When you look at eleven personnel, one back,
Speaker 1: one tight end, three wide, receivers and rundown situations, fifty
Speaker 1: one percent of the time they throw it, forty nine
Speaker 1: percent of the time they run it. But when you
Speaker 1: look at ten personnel, Paul, which is four wide receivers,
Speaker 1: it is truly incredible. Forty six percent pass, fifty four
Speaker 1: percent run Wow, Paul Wow, out of ten personnel. And
Speaker 1: then you stop and you think how many times you've
Speaker 1: seen James Connor line up next to Kyler Murray or
Speaker 1: Colt McCoy and run the ball in between the tackles
Speaker 1: out of ten personnel. It's truly amazing. You know. What
Speaker 1: makes me think of two is the last edition of
Speaker 1: Game Plan with Cliff Kingsbury, his weekly TV show, And
Speaker 1: if you want to see the clip, go to the
Speaker 1: Cardinals Twitter account last Friday night because they tweeted it
Speaker 1: out and Wolf, you asked Cliff Kingsbury about some of
Speaker 1: those run percentages, right, yeah, And his response was sort
Speaker 1: of gallows humor, you know, in his self deprecating way.
Speaker 1: He said, oh, oh, we gotta do something about that.
Speaker 1: We got to change it because they were number four.
Speaker 1: Now this was this was before the Seattle game, that
Speaker 1: were number four PAULI in the National Football league and
Speaker 1: run rate right running at forty seven point five percent
Speaker 1: of the time. He's sandbagging though he knows what he's what.
Speaker 1: You know, it's sort of like Larry fit Sheldon golf
Speaker 1: and in his handicap it's just sandbagging down exactly whatever.
Speaker 1: He knows what the numbers are. Okay, So if you're listening,
Speaker 1: by the way, before we hear from Cole McCoy and
Speaker 1: on the Big Red Rage here because he's on the
Speaker 1: Dave Pash podcast, and it's interesting as long as you're
Speaker 1: citing some of those numbers. Did you see some of
Speaker 1: the next Gen stats about the Cardinals offense and how
Speaker 1: in the game against Seattle to win they relied on
Speaker 1: play action thirty three percent of the dropbacks, and on
Speaker 1: those dropbacks, Cole McCoy was thirteen of fourteen for one
Speaker 1: thirty two on a touchdown. They also relied on quick
Speaker 1: passes seventy three percent of his attempts were considered quick passes.
Speaker 1: He went twenty five to thirty two for two oh
Speaker 1: one and two touchdowns. So there's definitely big there's a
Speaker 1: method to the madness, there's no doubt about it. Although
Speaker 1: it's different when its cult McCoy seemingly versus Kyler Murray,
Speaker 1: but as you sited, combined, the Cardinals have the number
Speaker 1: one passer raining in the NFL, and Colt McCoy was
Speaker 1: asked by Dave on the Dave Fash podcast just about
Speaker 1: when he joined the Cardinals and some of the scouting
Speaker 1: he did on the team and in particular Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1: First thing I did was just watch our games. Watch
Speaker 1: Kyler how heed like he does some things. It's like, dude,
Speaker 1: I can't do that, Like nobody can't. I told somebody
Speaker 1: like Cliff called a quarterback draw. You know, they hadn't
Speaker 1: played a bunch of man, but they were switching things
Speaker 1: up in that last drive to go score. They showed
Speaker 1: me different looks almost every play right, and so he
Speaker 1: called in a quarterback draw and I was like, huh,
Speaker 1: so it worked right. James made a nice block. I
Speaker 1: got through the line scrimmage, and I was like, the
Speaker 1: only difference between me running I got the first down.
Speaker 1: Kyler probably would have scored right there, Paul, that was
Speaker 1: the play I saw it is, yes, is it right there?
Speaker 1: I could not it was. I thought it was a
Speaker 1: great call. Nobody saw that coming, including Colt McCoy, and
Speaker 1: you know what, Cliff Kingsbury after the game said he'd
Speaker 1: been sitting on that that that wasn't just a spur
Speaker 1: of the moment. He had that in for the Carolina game.
Speaker 1: He didn't want to waste it in that game because
Speaker 1: it got out of hand in a hurry. And so,
Speaker 1: you know, it's really interesting. And as Dave continued with
Speaker 1: Colt McCoy, you know, they got a little more into
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and just the talent that Kyler isn't. And
Speaker 1: at the end of that game, down on the field,
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray was leaving and the Red Sea had taken
Speaker 1: over and they're on the front rail in Seattle and
Speaker 1: they're chanting MVP, MVP like they've done in a lot
Speaker 1: of the road games. See here's Colt McCoy's take though
Speaker 1: on his teammate Kyler Murray. Kyler is so unique and
Speaker 1: how he sees the game like it's it's very impressive.
Speaker 1: He's very smart, he plays with feel. Some of the
Speaker 1: guys I've played with are just very routine instructure and
Speaker 1: they know the game so well. They're greatest situational football.
Speaker 1: They study it. They and Kyler is at the top
Speaker 1: of the list on a lot of those things. He
Speaker 1: sees it right. He plays with feel, He knows the
Speaker 1: coverages and structures, and he knows how Cliffs wants to
Speaker 1: the offense to be run. So so let me get
Speaker 1: this straight. Let me translate this. You tell me where
Speaker 1: I'm going wrong here. All the athleticism, I mean, arguably,
Speaker 1: every time he takes the field, he's the best athlete
Speaker 1: on the field. Yeah, we know he has the armed talent.
Speaker 1: He can make every single throw. So now if quote
Speaker 1: McCoy is also telling us that he can readcoveragees and
Speaker 1: we've seen that and we've heard that from the head coach,
Speaker 1: that he is much farther along and has evolved as
Speaker 1: a quarterback getting to his second, third, and sometime fourth
Speaker 1: reads his progressions. Okay, but but he also has a
Speaker 1: feel for the game and intrinsic feel for the game
Speaker 1: that isn't always natural or second nature to a lot
Speaker 1: of different quarterbacks. Man that those four components combined makes
Speaker 1: him lethal, doesn't know. There's no dog poly I mean,
Speaker 1: it's one of the reasons why you know me, I
Speaker 1: dragged my feet in naming a franchise quarterback. They took
Speaker 1: you two and a half years. Have you Have you
Speaker 1: relented yet? I have gotten that on the record. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know that, Paul. It was going into the Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams game as a matter of fact, that I
Speaker 1: was right there on the cosp and then after watching
Speaker 1: him dissect the Los Angeles Rams, it was like, you
Speaker 1: gotta be kidding me. That same weekend got rid of
Speaker 1: a he got just stop it right now. It's not
Speaker 1: a bad thing to make a human being prove you're
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback. It isn't. It's it's out of respect
Speaker 1: and deference for how unbelievable, unbelievably difficult it is to
Speaker 1: play quarterback in the National Football League, and to do
Speaker 1: it over time and seasons. It's not just one season
Speaker 1: that you do it. Where all that there's a franchise
Speaker 1: quarterback and then he comes back the next year and
Speaker 1: throws twenty five picks. You've got to make a guy
Speaker 1: prove it. You gotta make a guy earn it. And
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray has earned it, man, there is no doubt
Speaker 1: about it. You could tell five six games into this
Speaker 1: season you could see the growth from a year ago
Speaker 1: and it was not even close. So look whether it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter which quarterback it is, Cliff Kingsbury has schemed
Speaker 1: it up. You know, whether it was two different runs
Speaker 1: by Cole McCoy the resulting in two first downs. Whether
Speaker 1: it's the you know, tight end shovel past to zach Ertz,
Speaker 1: which Cliff Kingsbury told us after the game that zach
Speaker 1: osam because that's the easiest touchdown catch of his career.
Speaker 1: You know, whether it was the third and seven in
Speaker 1: the twenty yards to zach Ertz where Cole McCoy actually
Speaker 1: got away. The Cardinals have the best record in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and they just spent the month of November without their
Speaker 1: franchise quarterbacker and DeAndre Hopkins feel that, buddy, Yeah? And
Speaker 1: next up it's gonna be Chicago. Where do you get
Speaker 1: a load of the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving? Starting tomorrow? Hey,
Speaker 1: choose these seat options the best figure needs season tickets,
Speaker 1: single game group tickets, Club Leble seating, end morgod easy
Speaker 1: Cardinals dot Com tickets for more info. We continue with
Speaker 1: a big red rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert
Speaker 1: huh backers pass goes, Wilson steps up, gets hit, bubbles
Speaker 1: the ball as he sacked at the forty three. He
Speaker 1: did recover. Chandler Jones was back there for Arizona shot
Speaker 1: Guns snap straight drop back Wilson and trouble sacked by
Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons back at the thirty six yard line. Consecutive
Speaker 1: sacks by Jones at Simmons Jiffy Collins on the stretch
Speaker 1: to the right, track down to the backfield and taken
Speaker 1: down by Chandler Jones. Wilson back the passing trouble hit
Speaker 1: at sacks by Chandler Jones back at the thirty yard line.
Speaker 1: Jones can't be blocked. Wilson back to pass sacked though
Speaker 1: by Marcus Golden and Chandler Jones. They meet at the
Speaker 1: quarterback back at the thirty yard line. Some about that.
Speaker 1: How about a Cardinals defense at Seattle help the Seahawks
Speaker 1: to two of ten on third down red zone The
Speaker 1: Seahawks are just one of three four sacks total two
Speaker 1: for Chandler Jones, the NFC Defensive Player of the Week.
Speaker 1: He said that he busted out his cleats from the
Speaker 1: four sack game in twenty nineteen, so it's got to
Speaker 1: be the shoes for Chandler Jones. He loves Seattle man,
Speaker 1: he's always mugging behind the bench and playing with the
Speaker 1: fans behind the bench who were unloading, and they were
Speaker 1: pretty much silenced by the end of the game, which
Speaker 1: he loves doing. As the Cardinals get the victory and
Speaker 1: go to nine and two. Here on a bye week
Speaker 1: edition of The Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford
Speaker 1: in Gilbert and Polly, I'm so glad you mentioned that
Speaker 1: right there, because honestly, the defense came out and they
Speaker 1: set the tone in Seattle, if you ask me, they did. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they gave up four plays, They gave up a first
Speaker 1: down run on the very first play, and they moved
Speaker 1: the chains. But man, they had two sacks of Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson in four plays. Ron two sacks that forced the
Speaker 1: Seahawks to punt. Of course, then the Arizona Cardinals took
Speaker 1: the ball, and what happened, Paully, Oh my goodness. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever seen such a quick
Speaker 1: turnaround over the course of the first four plays of
Speaker 1: a game. Yes, I mean the first play was an
Speaker 1: eighteen yard run by Rashad Penny, which I think was
Speaker 1: his last carrier of the game because he ended up
Speaker 1: in the medical tent again. Yeah, and then the next
Speaker 1: play got him to midfield then, and honestly, I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, now, the Boxers were starting to bunge a
Speaker 1: little bit because the Cardinals have been ripped before on
Speaker 1: run defense. And then all of a sudden, Marcus Golden
Speaker 1: and Chandler Jones they take over and down goes Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: And you're right, they were never the same after that.
Speaker 1: And then once the Cardinals got the lead, guess what,
Speaker 1: Pennie years back and go after russ Well, you think
Speaker 1: about it, Pallie. Once again, just the fact they started
Speaker 1: like that defensively, and then the offense took the ball
Speaker 1: sixteen play drive eighty two yards for a touchdown that
Speaker 1: took nine minutes in twenty seven seconds off the clock. Paul,
Speaker 1: I mean that that just doesn't happen in the National
Speaker 1: Football League, not very often. And yeah, that is how
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals started that game, and that's the reason why,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, they finished it too. And then later
Speaker 1: in the first half there was a thirteen play ninety
Speaker 1: two yard drive six and a half minutes, and then
Speaker 1: obviously the game clinching drive, the one where late third
Speaker 1: quarter at Cliff Kingsbury went to the offense. And there's
Speaker 1: a great story from Darren urban Nacy Cardinals dot com
Speaker 1: right now, a profile on Cliff Kingsbury, and that was
Speaker 1: his lead about what Cliff Kingsbury did. And I witnessed
Speaker 1: it late third quarter. He heard me relay it on
Speaker 1: the broadcast where he got the entire offense together. He rarely,
Speaker 1: if ever does that. He was very adamant. He was
Speaker 1: barking at the guys and we asked him about that
Speaker 1: after the game in Cliff Kingsbury's message was, you know what,
Speaker 1: guys were sitting around waiting for the game to end.
Speaker 1: I wanted them to go out and finish it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's what they did. Ten play sixty seven yards
Speaker 1: that game, clutching touchdown twenty three thirteen. And they responded
Speaker 1: to the head coach. They've been responded to Cliff Kingsbury
Speaker 1: all year. He's had that extra edge on the sideline.
Speaker 1: And and you know, Wolf we Ven at Chase Edmonds
Speaker 1: on the Big Red Rage tell us how much the
Speaker 1: guys are feet off their head coach. Right now, there's
Speaker 1: no doubt Paulie Cliff Kingsbury right now, it's got to
Speaker 1: be the front runner for Coach of the Year has
Speaker 1: got to be and you know what, We're going to
Speaker 1: get to that in a moment. First, how about Buddha Baker,
Speaker 1: because you mentioned how they went after Russell Wilson well
Speaker 1: green Bay the week before. If you looked at the
Speaker 1: numbers and the percentages, they really rushed three or four
Speaker 1: most of the time. They really picked their spots as
Speaker 1: the Winda Blitz Russell Wilson Green Bay, and they shut
Speaker 1: out Russell Wilson for the first time in his career.
Speaker 1: So here's Buddha Baker on the philosophy. If you get
Speaker 1: him on the second and long, we know that they're
Speaker 1: going to pass, and you get him the third down,
Speaker 1: that's when we can do our exotic pressures and you know,
Speaker 1: have a little fun. So we focus on taking the
Speaker 1: one play at a time. Once we get to third down,
Speaker 1: those kind of party time in a sense. So those
Speaker 1: guys did a great job. Our d line did a
Speaker 1: great job. Chan Marcus, you know, got their sex and wolf.
Speaker 1: It just comes back to what they always say, and
Speaker 1: it's not a cliche. Win first down, if you can
Speaker 1: make it second and loong, third and long, then look out.
Speaker 1: That's when the eyes light up with those eyes in
Speaker 1: the front seven. Oh my goodness. They played so well
Speaker 1: the defense, it was truly incredible. Sixteen first downs for
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawns, two hundred and sixty six yards overall. Paul,
Speaker 1: they only ran forty nine plays forty nine plays Palie,
Speaker 1: there were one of three in the red zone. Not
Speaker 1: good scored thirteen points. It was Listen, this was a
Speaker 1: huge performance by Vance Joseph and this defense. No doubt.
Speaker 1: Once again, Cardinals are now four and o in the division.
Speaker 1: They're six and o on the road, every single win
Speaker 1: by double digits, nine and two. They're a top the
Speaker 1: NFL standings, they're a top the Power rankings once again.
Speaker 1: And Cliff Kingsbury was aspired Darren Urban this week about
Speaker 1: you know, whether he gets satisfaction on proving a lot
Speaker 1: of the doubters wrong. The only thing, you know, I
Speaker 1: like his family members, people that believed in me forever
Speaker 1: of them to actually not. You know, hear me called
Speaker 1: a dumbass all the time. So that's kind of the
Speaker 1: biggest that if I take away from all of it,
Speaker 1: I love that man. That is so human, it's so
Speaker 1: real it is. And you know what he led everyone
Speaker 1: in to I think a very real emotion, did he not? Yes,
Speaker 1: because and you know him, Hey, look he'll deal with
Speaker 1: anything and everything, but when it boils back on your
Speaker 1: family and your friends, you know, that's where these guys
Speaker 1: do it for a living. And they're highly paid, and
Speaker 1: they're highly paid to have a thick skin. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what happens. You know, That's why Pete Carroll leaving his
Speaker 1: press conference when Pete Carroll's making eight figures a year,
Speaker 1: and and and you know, and they've they've had winning
Speaker 1: seasons every single year. The Russell Wilson has been the quarterback.
Speaker 1: And then they hit a little adversity and he pulls
Speaker 1: the plug and he leaves the press conference. You know
Speaker 1: how many tough losses as Cliff Kingsbury had from the
Speaker 1: first year to the flame out the second half of
Speaker 1: last year, right, and as he's always met the media
Speaker 1: and answered every single question. And I love what he
Speaker 1: did up in Seattle once again. Um, Cliff Kingsbury, He's
Speaker 1: always been smart and humble. We've talked about this all
Speaker 1: the time, PAULI. He's he's very smart and he's very humble.
Speaker 1: He cites other teams, whether it's college or professional, where
Speaker 1: he's ripping plays off them. He cites that. I'm just
Speaker 1: telling you right now, you don't get a lot of
Speaker 1: head coaches that are quote unquote football geniuses that will
Speaker 1: cite where they're ripping these plays off. I mean, you
Speaker 1: just don't get it, especially when he's essentially in a
Speaker 1: contract year, exactly right, when he's in a proven year,
Speaker 1: when you come into this season, and once again we
Speaker 1: get to the genesis of that question from Darren Urban.
Speaker 1: I mean, the national narrative was that Cliff Kingsbury is
Speaker 1: coaching for his job if the Arizona Cardinals don't end
Speaker 1: the playoff droughte that goes back to twenty fifteen. Guess what,
Speaker 1: Michael Bidwell, Mike Cleanhouse, of all the decision makers. Yes,
Speaker 1: but here's what I love right here. Not only is
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury really really smart. Not only is he humble
Speaker 1: and has a monicum of humility that keeps him grounded
Speaker 1: and allows him to judge himself off and look at
Speaker 1: himself without bursting into a million pieces and being his
Speaker 1: own harshest critic he is. But what I love about
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury in year three is what we're seeing from
Speaker 1: him from an intensity perspective. And Paul, yes, you know
Speaker 1: this because you've seen it. You've been down on the
Speaker 1: sideline where players are responding Cliff Kingsbury and he's got
Speaker 1: a little something something dripping down the side of his neck.
Speaker 1: This year, it's called intensity and I love it. First
Speaker 1: half of the game of Tennessee, I actually took two
Speaker 1: steps back. I mean the intensity from Cliff Kingsbury. I'm like, wow,
Speaker 1: WHOA Okay, So now the question becomes, all right, where
Speaker 1: is this all going? By the end of the year,
Speaker 1: could he be the coach of the year? And that
Speaker 1: was a question from day Pass on the Day Pash
Speaker 1: podcast Adam Shine. He's a serious XM radio and CBS
Speaker 1: Sports Network host Adam Shine on Cliff Kingsbury. I think
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury is an absolute stud. Last year was a disappointment,
Speaker 1: I thought for Arizona down the stretch of the season,
Speaker 1: boy Dave. This year has been fantastic And in terms
Speaker 1: of where I put him to Coach of the Year
Speaker 1: now top two. I mean it's Cliff Kingsbury and Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick whatever order for coach of the year. How delicious.
Speaker 1: Is that dynamic that his former head coach, his first
Speaker 1: head coach in the NFL when he was the third
Speaker 1: or maybe four string quarterback under Bill Belichick. Now fast
Speaker 1: forward twenty years and he's buying with Coach Belichick to
Speaker 1: be the twenty twenty one NFL Coach of the Year.
Speaker 1: That's just I just love the way that works out. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I love that right there, because of course, we all
Speaker 1: know what the narrative was. We all know why. There's
Speaker 1: been a lot of analysts across the country that have
Speaker 1: been dragging their feet on Cliff Kingsbury, and I think
Speaker 1: on fairly so, and it's all because of how he
Speaker 1: got the job, right, Paul, Nobody, you know exactly what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about, the fact that he was fired from
Speaker 1: a college program he never made. It wasn't a quote
Speaker 1: unque successful college head coach, and all of a sudden
Speaker 1: he's the offensive coordinator for us, and then you hire
Speaker 1: him from there when he hasn't even done anything over
Speaker 1: there as an offensive coordinator, And how could you possibly
Speaker 1: do that? There was that was the narrative surrounding Cliff Kingsbury.
Speaker 1: And to his credit, and I respect him greatly for this.
Speaker 1: He has fought through all of that. He's fought through
Speaker 1: all of that, and it had to bother him some
Speaker 1: of the things that analysts were saying on a national
Speaker 1: radio show or a national television show. It had to
Speaker 1: bother him when he heard some of the things that
Speaker 1: was being said about him out there, how he didn't
Speaker 1: deserve it. And then to watch him right now, through
Speaker 1: eleven weeks of the season become the clear front runner
Speaker 1: for Coach of the Year going into the twelfth week
Speaker 1: of the season. Man, I'm happy for him. And oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, Texas Tech has already fired the head
Speaker 1: coach they hired to replace, Cliff Kingsbury. Think about that thing.
Speaker 1: Oh maybe it wasn't an indication of his coaching acumen
Speaker 1: and ability. Maybe it just reveals how difficult it is
Speaker 1: directcruit to Lubbock, Texas. Maybe, just maybe. By the way,
Speaker 1: episode seventeen of The Day Pash Podcast featuring series XM
Speaker 1: Radio and CBS Sports Network host Adam Shine, who we
Speaker 1: just heard from, available now wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 1: For the latest updates on the Day Pash Podcast, following
Speaker 1: on Twitter at pashpod. And by the way, the national
Speaker 1: guys are still up to it. The ap pole. The
Speaker 1: power rankings have the Cardinals number one. They got eleven
Speaker 1: out of twelve votes. That other first place vote. What
Speaker 1: did Tennessee this week? A Tennessee team that lost to
Speaker 1: Houston Wolf, A Tennessee team that was jack stump by
Speaker 1: the years on the Cardinals with Derrick Henry in week one,
Speaker 1: and this guy still puts Tennessee ahead of the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: We wrap up the Big Red Rage right after this.
Speaker 1: This is a whole new team, this is a whole
Speaker 1: new year. You guys are going to get the best
Speaker 1: of us. It's a long season, figure shot. It's the journey.
Speaker 1: Positive energy is infectious. It's infectious, and it's going to
Speaker 1: permeate throughout the building and then permeate throughout the valley.
Speaker 1: When your expectation is that high and you don't play
Speaker 1: as well as you plan too on Sunday, it hurts.
Speaker 1: You have to be able to embrace the pressure and respond.
Speaker 1: There's no chance. Who aren't winning that game? I feel
Speaker 1: like I just lean by example. Honor obviously ain't such
Speaker 1: a different element, meaning the guys being with the guys
Speaker 1: and next seeded. In my expectations, we were ready to
Speaker 1: hit somebody before the game started. There's no disrespect to us,
Speaker 1: the team, just who we are. Maybe we'll just get
Speaker 1: better tick talk. Cardinals flight Plan Ready to Rise premieres
Speaker 1: tonight at seven, top of the hour Cardinals YouTube channel.
Speaker 1: That's YouTube dot com slash a Z Cardinals. You want
Speaker 1: all access Emmy Award winning coverage of your Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 1: You got to check out the latest Cardinals Flight Plan
Speaker 1: and once again we'll drop in a matter of moments.
Speaker 1: And we're talking on and off the field. We're talking
Speaker 1: in the locker room, riding into work, anything and everything.
Speaker 1: So Wolf, here we are. It's was the night before Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: There may or may not be you're truly going Polly
Speaker 1: palle with the latest edition of Cardinals Flight Plan Ready
Speaker 1: to Rise at about a half hour or so. Yeah, Polly,
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. So where do you want to
Speaker 1: go in this beautiful part of the program. Now, what
Speaker 1: do you want to talk about? Not your pal album? No,
Speaker 1: and we're done with the Seahawks, you know, as speaking
Speaker 1: of TV and so forth. I feel bad for America. Actually,
Speaker 1: the next Monday night football game features the Seahawks, So
Speaker 1: you know, America doesn't need that we're still trying to
Speaker 1: come out of these tumultuous times. Nobody needs more Seahawks
Speaker 1: football on primetime with satle I like, we're done with
Speaker 1: Seattle even though we play. I'm at end of the season,
Speaker 1: of course, Ball attention, Seattle. You're the only team okay,
Speaker 1: you're one game above or you're the next worst team
Speaker 1: besides the Lions. Think about that in the NFC. You're
Speaker 1: fifteenth in the NFC. Sixteenth would be the Lions. We
Speaker 1: all get to see tomorrow playing the Cardinals, next opponent
Speaker 1: of the Bears. But why do you think that the
Speaker 1: Cardinals maybe have not generated as much national attention and
Speaker 1: headlines as perhaps they might be worthy? Because I hashed
Speaker 1: this out on Channel twelve earlier today with cam Cox,
Speaker 1: and here was my theory. Walf You can tell me
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, and I know you will. Okay, So
Speaker 1: you were asking me, right, you really didn't want my answer? Ball?
Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying? You were asking me rhetorically.
Speaker 1: I've learned I'd better give my answer real quick because
Speaker 1: your answer is going to take the rest of the show. Okay, here,
Speaker 1: what did you say? The camera docks Paul? Well, I
Speaker 1: think part of it is because the Cardinals have only
Speaker 1: had one primetime game and they lost that game at
Speaker 1: the very end of Green Bay, and so America, especially
Speaker 1: the East Coast, hasn't really seen the Cardinals, and so
Speaker 1: they have these notions of the Cardinals and what they
Speaker 1: think the Cardinals are all about, and maybe some of
Speaker 1: those were reinforced in that to Green Bay, but they
Speaker 1: haven't certainly seen any of the rest of the season
Speaker 1: in mass Hence, I think there's almost like a delayed
Speaker 1: reaction to just how polton the Cardinals have been this year.
Speaker 1: That's a real possibility, There's no doubt about it. Once again,
Speaker 1: I think the Arizona Cardinals have to continue to keep
Speaker 1: their head down. I love what I'm hearing coming out
Speaker 1: of the locker room, Paul. I love what I'm hearing
Speaker 1: from their best players, and they really do got to
Speaker 1: model the culture and model how they feel and the
Speaker 1: chemistry inside that locker room for everybody else. I love
Speaker 1: what I'm hearing. They're keeping their head down, in their
Speaker 1: eyes on the task. Just keep your head down and
Speaker 1: continue to ball out in play as hard as you
Speaker 1: possibly can. The one in oh Mantra is what I love.
Speaker 1: The one to oh, it's not just lip service. They
Speaker 1: believe it once again. Adam Shine is the guest on
Speaker 1: the Daypash podcast this week. Colt McCoy is next week,
Speaker 1: by the way. Just to clarify there, And here's Adam
Speaker 1: Scheine when Dave asked him about the Cardinals standing in
Speaker 1: the NFC. I think the Cardinals they're a team on
Speaker 1: a short list of teams, by the way, and it's
Speaker 1: wild and wacky NFL season, I trust. I love the
Speaker 1: head coach, I love the defensive coordinator. I love the talent.
Speaker 1: I love how they take care of business. I love
Speaker 1: how they can play up to the competition. I love
Speaker 1: everything about them. I think Arizona, when Kyler's healthy, is
Speaker 1: the most well rounded team in the NFC. And I
Speaker 1: think that's key that last part there, because Wolf they're
Speaker 1: the only team in the NFL still top five in
Speaker 1: scoring offense in scoring defense. Buffalo was there quite a bit,
Speaker 1: but now they've faltered. Who knows what's going on with
Speaker 1: Buffalo right now? And when you look at the rest
Speaker 1: of the NFC. We've talked about this too. If you're
Speaker 1: looking for the element that separates the Cardinals from the competition,
Speaker 1: the NFC. The elite of the NFC doesn't not have
Speaker 1: to be on the defensive side of the ball. Polly.
Speaker 1: It's something I've been saying all year, or I will
Speaker 1: not all year. I shouldn't say that, something I've been
Speaker 1: saying for the last four or five weeks about this team.
Speaker 1: We all know their offense is super Bowl caliber, right, Polly.
Speaker 1: I mean you look at him and you say, oh,
Speaker 1: my goodness, there's Kyler Murray. What a super Bowl talent
Speaker 1: he is. Oh there's DeAndre Hopkins, what a super Bowl Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you look at their talent. Zach Ertz, zach Ertz.
Speaker 1: You're having a hard time getting zach Ertz the ball
Speaker 1: and real quick. You could say the same thing about
Speaker 1: the Packers with Aaron Rodgers and his receivers and those
Speaker 1: two running backs. You could say the same about Tom
Speaker 1: Braiding his receivers. You could say the same about Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott and his receivers, and yes, the Rams as well,
Speaker 1: even minus Robert Woods. Yes, Polly, but again, my whole
Speaker 1: point has been, not only do they have super Bowl
Speaker 1: caliber offense, but what makes them a super Bowl contender
Speaker 1: to me is their defense. Ding their defense, Polly's it
Speaker 1: truly is incredible to see what Vance Joseph has done
Speaker 1: with this. They have an elite scoring defense. They are
Speaker 1: bawling out and you look at the offense as well,
Speaker 1: the elite scoring offensive Arizona Cardinals have. They're the best
Speaker 1: team in the league. If you look at this weekend schedule,
Speaker 1: the Rams go to Green Bay, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: is our new hashtag. As you know, no Lambo, that's
Speaker 1: our mantra for the rest of the year. Nobody and
Speaker 1: I mean nobody, especially the Sun No Lambo is our
Speaker 1: hashtag between now and the end of the year. Nobody
Speaker 1: wants to go there. So, you know what, in a
Speaker 1: weird way, I guess I am pulling for the Rams.
Speaker 1: You know, Aaron Rodgers dealing with a toe and all that.
Speaker 1: But think about so you have that game going on
Speaker 1: and then and then you have a Cardinals Cowboys game
Speaker 1: and the second to last week of the season. That's intriguing.
Speaker 1: But if you look at the schedules and what's left
Speaker 1: for the Rams, Packers, Bucks and Cowboys or Jim Amajundro
Speaker 1: went through it, and you have to look at the
Speaker 1: Rams and some of the games they have left at Minnesota,
Speaker 1: at Baltimore. They play the Niners again. They've lost five
Speaker 1: in a row to the Niners, and they have the
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers this Sunday at Lambo. Oh boy out
Speaker 1: on that one. Good. Yeah, it'll be speech. And then
Speaker 1: suddenly you're in the m bow. Wolf, who do you
Speaker 1: fear the most out of those four NFC contenders, Because
Speaker 1: forget the home field advantage. I still fear Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: those top three receivers, and those two running backs the most,
Speaker 1: especially since they seem to have figured out their defense.
Speaker 1: It's much better than it was in September. I'm with
Speaker 1: you on that Ballie, you really am, because once again
Speaker 1: you're talking about one of the most legendary quarterbacks in
Speaker 1: the National Football League. Um, Aaron Rodgers and the Green
Speaker 1: Bay Packers. That is a concern. Yeah hey yeah. Single
