21
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 3: the third and final shout out is that the gentleman

22
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 3: to my rights, when did Redbird one finally touchdown? At

23
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 3: Sky Harbor Airport.

24
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 4: Well, let's see, uh, probably around one one thirty around there.

25
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 4: Not too bad, you know, by the time you get

26
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 4: home and the whole thing, Rob, You know that's all right.

27
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 4: We taped some coffee on it here this morning. In fact,

28
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 4: I sound like wolf. Where's the coffee just.

29
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 5: In time for your three am workout?

30
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 6: Paul?

31
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 4: I mean, you know it's true. I'm John John Gruen.

32
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 4: I get up at three seventeen am every single day.

33
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 4: No so, but you know what, it's all always worth

34
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 4: it when you write down in your notebook here, Craig,

35
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 4: and you know I have my my notebook here with

36
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 4: every single game. So glad you remembered it this week.

37
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 4: We wow, that hurts, okay, a little reality check. Trying

38
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 4: to flex a win over here and got brought back

39
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 4: to reality. I thought this was a victory Tuesday, and

40
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 4: I wrote down twice. I wrote down twice booze, as

41
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 4: in got booed at home. So there's always you know,

42
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,279
Speaker 4: that's always one stat that belongs in the box score

43
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 4: if and when the home team gets booed by the

44
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 4: home fans. And to me, the number was two is

45
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 4: loud enough that I wrote it down twice.

46
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: They call it Jerry's World. Yet the Arizona Cardinals are

47
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 3: undefeated four to oh all time at AT and T Stadium.

48
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 3: An impressive win offense, defense, special teams, but an important

49
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 3: when maybe more than anything else, considering what we've been

50
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 3: talking about here on Tuesdays here on the Cardinals Red

51
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 3: Sea report. A five game losing streak now firmly in

52
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 3: the rear view mirror.

53
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's amazing to just you know how different things

54
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 5: are after a win. I mean, just everything. Everybody's a

55
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 5: little lighter, everybody's walking around a little lighter, a little

56
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 5: smiles on faces, and you know, it's it's amazing what

57
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 5: a victory can do. Just it's the biggest elixir. Offensively,

58
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 5: just a great showing for the Cardinals. Defensively though, I think,

59
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 5: really and we'll get into it, but I think defensively

60
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 5: what they were able to do against the number one

61
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 5: offense in the NFL in terms of scoring, just just

62
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 5: total offense defensively, that to me was the most impressive.

63
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: Cardinals led at the end of the first quarter, at halftime,

64
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 3: at the end of the third quarter, they never trailed

65
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 3: in the game at all, and maybe maybe never even

66
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 3: really challenged much at all as far as the score

67
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 3: was concerned. Let's take you back to Aight and T Stadium,

68
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 3: the Cardinals locker room show. Jacoby Brissette talking about the

69
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 3: Cardinals win against the.

70
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 6: Cowboys, ultimate team win in all three phases, picking each

71
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 6: other up. You know, we knew it was gonna be

72
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 6: a sixty minute fight. They made their plays, but we

73
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 6: made more than them tonight, and just gonna be more

74
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 6: proud of the guys in the locker room. And I

75
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 6: mean our backs up against the wall and to the

76
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 6: outside it probably looks like turmoil, but you know, I mean,

77
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 6: these guys just stick together and you know, just keep

78
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 6: putting one foot in front of the other and going

79
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 6: back to working. You know, those are results right there.

80
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: You talk a lot about complimentary football, and you look

81
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: at how the game started. Paul a turnover on downs

82
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: inside the red zone, and then the Cardinals respond with

83
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 3: a field goal drive. Defense comes back with a three

84
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 3: and out. Cardinals respond again, this time with a touchdown

85
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 3: drive and it's ten tohing early in the second quarter.

86
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe that's when you first started to hear the

87
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 3: booze from the Cowboy fans, because that Cowboys offense early on, Yes,

88
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 3: that first drive they ran down the field on the

89
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: Cardinals defense, but when it mattered, most Cardinals got off.

90
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 5: The football field.

91
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 4: And then after that, when we talked about this pregame,

92
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 4: Cardinals are able to own the football. We're able to really,

93
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 4: to your point, manufacture some extended drives, keep that Cowboys

94
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 4: offense on the sideline. That's where the Cardinals offense helped

95
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 4: the Cardinals defense because they were able to mount some

96
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 4: of those drives. And you know what, They're able to

97
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 4: pick up a lot of third downs. You talk about

98
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 4: Jacoby Brissett, and there's a lot to like. But when

99
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 4: I look here, it might play by play and how

100
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 4: many little stars I have next to third and long,

101
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 4: and how often the Cardinals pick that up, especially in

102
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 4: the first half, seven of nine on third down at halftime.

103
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 4: Jakobe Brussett, if nothing else, is most definitely seeing the

104
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 4: field right.

105
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 5: I think the biggest difference is just the the aggressive

106
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 5: nature of the of the play calling and execution offensively

107
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 5: and not going away from that. You know, third and long.

108
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 5: A lot of times teams will well, let's just throw

109
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 5: a little screen pass, a little draw and then we'll

110
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 5: punt and you know, play some defense. No, you know

111
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 5: that the Cardinals stayed aggressive offensively with the play calling

112
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 5: and the execution, and that that, to me was was

113
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 5: the difference. You know, this offense, when it's clicking, it's

114
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 5: hard to beat and and to stay aggressive is really

115
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 5: you know, especially with the throws over the middle and

116
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 5: just just going downfield and getting those third and longs.

117
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 5: That's that, to me, is is what this team what

118
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 5: we've all envisioned, I think offensively, and you saw it

119
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 5: last night on display.

120
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 3: Third and eight, third and ten, third and five, third

121
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 3: and fourteen, third and one, plus there was a third

122
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 3: down converted when Trey McBride drew a defensive holding penalty

123
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: on third and six. Overall, Cardinals seven of nine in

124
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 3: the first half, finished seven or thirteen on third down.

125
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: But again, it's what the Cardinals did offensively in the

126
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 3: first half, and then the defense finished the game and

127
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 3: the second half. One of the big reasons why, well,

128
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 3: that man in the middle, thirty nine years young, Kalais

129
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,799
Speaker 3: Campbell a big game, but he was more importantly talking

130
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 3: about just the big win coming out of the bye week.

131
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 7: I pretty much told you know, a lot of the

132
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 7: guys like you know, it's kind of like you starting

133
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 7: to get a playoff field, you know, because I watch

134
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 7: you for aeros are so small that this is kind

135
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 7: of like a playoff environment, and so it's you know,

136
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 7: we just got a lucky hand stand in the moment,

137
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 7: and we got a long way to go work. This

138
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 7: one is a good feeling, but we still dug usself

139
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 7: such a big hole that it doesn't believe me much

140
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 7: unless we go out there and Jordianan next week. So

141
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 7: another time opponent in a short week. You know, we're

142
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 7: gonna enjoy the win for a short period of time,

143
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 7: but I'm already moving on to Seattle.

144
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 3: That to me, Paul, when you spoke with Kalais on

145
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: the Cardinals locker room show, that comment right there struck me,

146
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 3: because all right, you've got ten games to go now nine.

147
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 3: But the mindset going in to that game last night,

148
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 3: you've dug yourself a whole. You're two and five. It

149
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 3: is now win or go home. I mean, I think

150
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 3: that's the mentality this team has if they hope to

151
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 3: get back into it. You win these next two games

152
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 3: against NFC West opponents at Seattle home to the forty

153
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 3: nine ers, then you have put yourself right back into

154
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 3: the mix. To Kalay's points, though it is a playoff

155
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 3: atmosphere since I think or that mindset, even though we're

156
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 3: just a week couple of days into November.

157
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 4: And if you're talking mindset, you got to talk now

158
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 4: the confidence of doing something you really had not done

159
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 4: this year. Finish, you took a lead into the fourth

160
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 4: quarter for the fourth straight game, yet you held off

161
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 4: the opponent. There were a few dicey moments, there were

162
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 4: a few you know where everyone's boxers were bunging, I know,

163
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 4: in that fourth quarter, but they got it done. They

164
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 4: made the big plays in the big moments that win games.

165
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 4: And that's something that can really infuse the locker room

166
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 4: with that confidence. You need to know you're capable of

167
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 4: doing that, you need to believe, you need to have

168
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 4: that buy in, and there's only one way that happens

169
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 4: with victories. And so you could just sense it in

170
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 4: that locker room after the game, like, Okay, we knew

171
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 4: we were capable. We've been in every single game. Only

172
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 4: team to play, you know, every one of their games

173
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 4: going in and have it be decided by seven points

174
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 4: or less. But the good teams figure out a way

175
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 4: to win. For example, the Kansas City Chiefs this year

176
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 4: are zero and four and won score games, and until

177
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 4: this year, the last couple of seasons, they've been basically invincible.

178
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 4: So you've got to figure out that formula, and the

179
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 4: Cardinals did. Now can you carry it over to the

180
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 4: rest of the season.

181
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 3: Jonathan Gannon has talked every single day about we're close,

182
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 3: We're gonna stick with the process, just tweaks, some minor

183
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 3: adjustments and better execution, just a little bit better. That

184
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 3: can ring hollow if you're not seeing the results. To

185
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 3: Paul's point, now you've got that win and all of

186
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 3: a sudden, Okay, maybe maybe this is what it takes.

187
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 3: Maybe this is the pivot point in this season. Yes,

188
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 3: you have got nine more games to go, but can

189
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 3: this game talking about the Monday Night victory, can you

190
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 3: look back at this game in week nine and go

191
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 3: all right, that's where the season turned for the better

192
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 3: for the Cardinals.

193
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know the Cardinals were just making smart

194
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 5: plays last night, punching the ball out on defense. You

195
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 5: know you don't you don't see that as you love

196
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 5: to see more of that, and you did last night.

197
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 5: You punching the ball out getting the ball on the ground.

198
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 5: Amaro de Mercado, you know, against Tennessee may have made

199
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 5: a boneheaded play, right, we all know about that, But

200
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 5: last night he made an unbelievably intelligent play bye by

201
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 5: going down falling down in bounds to keep the clock going.

202
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 5: There's things like that where you all of a sudden,

203
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 5: those small little plays get magnified in a good way.

204
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 5: And you saw that last night, Because you're right, it's

205
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 5: a handful of plays every week that you're either making.

206
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 5: You're either doing a smart thing or you're doing a

207
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 5: dumb thing. And the Cardinals have been on the wrong

208
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 5: side of that for the last five weeks. But last

209
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 5: night they were making the smart plays.

210
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,359
Speaker 4: It's amazing what happens when you eliminate the self inflicted

211
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 4: right when the opponent on the field isn't just the

212
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 4: team on the schedule, and then yourself, when you're figure

213
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 4: out a way to make the smart plays and let

214
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 4: the other team make the bonehead of mistakes like oh,

215
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 4: I don't know, George Pickens with a taunting and a

216
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 4: fifteen yard flag, whereas the Cardinals were making really smart plays.

217
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 4: Look at the job they did against Ceedee Lamb as

218
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 4: a defense. Denzel Burke obviously big plays. Will Johnson had

219
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 4: a big pass breakup. Yeah, George Pickens and Ceede Lamb

220
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 4: got a few catches a piece. They did not wreck

221
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 4: that game. They were both non factors, neither one and

222
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 4: got into the end zone.

223
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 3: Cardinals did not turn the ball over and committed a

224
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: season load two penalties. A clean football game outside of

225
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 3: the punt block, which we can discuss, but again, overall,

226
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 3: this team needed a win when we come back. How

227
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 3: the offense looked against that Cowboys defense. That's next here

228
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 3: on the Arizona Cardinals Radio network.

229
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 5: Playing bag.

230
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 2: Looks over the middle, Crows wide open, Harrison Copperate touchdown.

231
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 2: What a first half for Jacoby Brissette and Marvin Harrison Junior.

232
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 2: They made it look easy on that drive and on

233
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 2: that touchdown pass that was incredible.

234
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 8: Marvin Harrison walks off the ball like he's gonna run block,

235
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 8: freezes the d back and then does a quick little

236
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 8: slant fake play action hits him for the touchdown.

237
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: Daguaraz fullback night behind him. On second and goal from

238
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 2: the water and it's a quarterback sneak. Brissette drives the

239
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 2: legs forward off the left sid and into the end

240
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 2: zone for the Cardinals touchdown pre step drove, looks, right

241
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: throws lighting the ends, I'll cut for a touchdown by

242
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 2: Trey McBride. Jacoby Brissett again on times on target and

243
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: the Cardinals extend their lead to twenty three to seven.

244
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 5: What up play. What a start to the second half.

245
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 3: By the way, that second half opening drive free plays

246
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 3: quickest scoring drive of the season for the Arizona Cardinals

247
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 3: as they go in to big D and come away

248
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 3: with a big w twenty seven to seventeen. As we say,

249
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 3: welcome back, it is the Cardinals. Red Sea report Greg

250
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 3: Reelu palk Alvic and Rod fredericson dissecting the offense third

251
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: straight start for Jacoby Brissett. The offense total three hundred

252
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 3: and forty yards, one hundred and nineteen rushing yards and

253
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 3: a balanced attack. Rob when you look at the numbers,

254
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 3: thirty one pass attempts, twenty nine rushing attempts skewed towards

255
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 3: the pass in the first half. Get the lead second half,

256
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 3: let's const to trade on milking the clock, run the

257
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 3: ball and very effective running the ball with either Bam

258
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 3: Knight or Amrio Demarcado.

259
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought a Mario de Mercado really had some

260
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 5: nice runs, and so did Bam Knight. You know, early

261
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 5: on it was tough sledding in the running game, but

262
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 5: they weren't trying to a lot. It was. It was

263
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 5: more through the air and and Jacoby Brissett was doing

264
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 5: a good job of staying in there. Even though you

265
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 5: know they there was not a ton of threat of

266
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 5: the run early on, he still went through his uh

267
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 5: through his play action progressions and it was an effective

268
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 5: It was an effective game plan for the offense and

269
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 5: it was executed near flawlessly by Jacoby Brissette. Really did

270
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 5: a good job. Spreading the ball around again, Marvin Harrison Junior,

271
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 5: getting him involved early and often. It's probably close to

272
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 5: the best of seeing him look the most comfortable, at

273
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 5: least that he's looked at a wide receiver position, catching

274
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 5: the ball away from his body with his hands coming

275
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 5: back to the ball. These are all things that you

276
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 5: hope to see and within this offense, just like the

277
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 5: growth of trajectory that you see from Marvin Harrison Junior

278
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 5: and Jacoby Brissett again, just spreading the ball around, getting

279
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 5: the ball to the open receivers and moving the chains. Yeah.

280
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 4: Talking to Marvin Harrison Junior at his locker, Craig like

281
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 4: we do every week, and I had asked him about,

282
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 4: you know, those contested catches, what's his confidence level. There's

283
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 4: no doubt his confidence level is growing. There's no doubt

284
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 4: he's achieving that what Drew Terral calls the flow state,

285
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 4: which is basically a big psychological term for hey, you're

286
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 4: playing and not thinking. Even Marvin said at his locker

287
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 4: when we asked them about that, he said, you know what,

288
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 4: sometimes it's more difficult to make the wide open catch

289
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 4: because you're thinking about it versus just competing for the football.

290
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 4: He said, he actually prefers to have a guy in

291
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 4: his hip. And then you saw his ability to get

292
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 4: himself now between the football and the defender, you know,

293
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 4: a la Larry Fitzgerald. There's a lot of that he's

294
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 4: getting downfield. I'd love to do two other things. So

295
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 4: I'd love to know did Michael Wilson at halftime walk

296
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 4: over to Drew Pats and say, Drove, I'm telling you

297
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 4: this route is gonna hit, because that just smelled of

298
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 4: a halftime adjustment. Right, We're gonna come out, we're gonna

299
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 4: run this to open the second half because Michael Wilson

300
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 4: has been open two or three times and maybe they

301
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 4: just the ball didn't find him in the first half.

302
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 4: And then the other question I had was, all right,

303
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 4: how many unscouted looks did the Cardinals put out there?

304
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 4: Because AQ and Pash we were talking on the broadcast,

305
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 4: how many the variety of play calls that we saw

306
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 4: last night. I'm very curious if the Dallas defense and

307
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 4: Mattery eber flew so they're gonna, wait a minute, that

308
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 4: hadn't been on film this season, and the Cardinals just

309
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 4: busted that out.

310
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 3: A lot more play action, which we have seen a

311
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 3: staple since Jacoby Brissett has been the starting quarterback. In fact,

312
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 3: Next Gen Stats says the Cardinals ran nearly fifty seven

313
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 3: percent of their dropbacks on play action. That's the highest

314
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 3: rate by any team this season. Overall per set, two

315
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 3: hundred sixty one passing yards, two touchdowns a touch down run.

316
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 3: Let's go back to the Cardinals' locker room last night.

317
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 3: Jonathan Gannon on what he saw out of his starting quarterback.

318
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 9: I thought he played well, you know, he stood in

319
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 9: there and made some huge plays. For us. You know,

320
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 9: some third down conversions, some explosives in there. You know,

321
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 9: got hit a few times. That's one was on me.

322
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 9: When we protect him. He stands in there and he'll

323
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 9: take shots and he'll deliver the football. You know, he battles.

324
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, hit eleven times, sacked five times. But here's a

325
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 3: while stat for you. Brissett is now thrown at least

326
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty passing yards and two touchdowns in

327
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 3: three straight starts. The last Cardinals quarterback to have such

328
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 3: a three game stretch Carson Palmer in twenty fifteen. So

329
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 3: it has been a little while, and the noise is

330
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 3: getting loud. It was loud on Cardinal Talk, it's been

331
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 3: loud nationally last night this morning as well. But as

332
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 3: we heard not only postgame with pash Naq, Jonathanganon said

333
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 3: it to reporters in the locker room postgame, nothing's changed

334
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 3: went healthy. Kyler Murray is your starting quarterback.

335
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 4: What's interesting is Rob chooses his words carefully. Is the

336
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 4: good and bad of being on Monday night football. The

337
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 4: good is when you play the Cowboys and you beat

338
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 4: the Cowboys. Yes, ESPN the next day is going to

339
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 4: cover the dog out of the Cowboys, and they have

340
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 4: no Cowboys highlights to run, so it's been all Cardinals highlights.

341
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 4: But after covering the game and showing all the Cardinals

342
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 4: plus plays on both sides of the ball, they've now

343
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 4: transitioned right before our eyes. As we're talking right now,

344
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 4: the lower third tease was two words, QB controversy, and

345
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 4: now the lower third is should Kyler Murray be the starter?

346
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,959
Speaker 4: Went healthy? So this has now become a national debate

347
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 4: because of Monday night football. And I'll just say the

348
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 4: difference now is that Jacoby Brissett canflex a win. For

349
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 4: everything that Jacoby Brissett did in the first two games,

350
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 4: you could build a case. All right, Well, guess what

351
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 4: the result was the same, another close loss. That's no

352
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 4: long longer the case.

353
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 5: Well, I come at this from a player's perspective. I

354
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 5: can give you that. And from a player's perspective, you know,

355
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 5: you don't even have to be a player. You can

356
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 5: you can be somebody that knows nothing about football and

357
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 5: watch the two You can watch Kyler in this offense

358
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 5: and you can watch Dakobe Brissett in this offense, and

359
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 5: you can tell which offense is more effective, more efficient,

360
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 5: which which quarterback seems more comfortable in this offense? And

361
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 5: so players are are. You cannot fool a player, right,

362
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 5: You cannot fool the locker room. You cannot pull the

363
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 5: wool over the eyes of the locker room. And if if, if, if,

364
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 5: if Kyler Murray comes back healthy and he's named the starter.

365
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 5: Just from a player's former players perspective, I think you

366
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 5: lose that locker room. I really do. Because players want

367
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 5: to win. That's more than anything. They want to win,

368
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 5: and they feel like they have the best opportunity to

369
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 5: win with Jacoby Pressett at quarterback.

370
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 4: I don't necessarily disagree, but I'll just throw this out there,

371
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 4: the reality. And you know this, Rob is a former

372
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 4: first round pick. First round picks get a lot more

373
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 4: opportunities than Day three picks, So a player can be

374
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 4: better out on the field, and it still doesn't change

375
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 4: the depth chart. A player can be better out in

376
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 4: the field. But if the player he's trying to beat

377
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 4: out has a massive, long term, two hundred million dollar contract,

378
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 4: guess what, it's not necessarily going to be an automatic,

379
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:40,959
Speaker 4: fair and equal competition.

380
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then look, this isn't an indictment on Kyler

381
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 5: the player. I think Kyler is extremely talented. I just

382
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 5: think this offense is more suited to Jacoby Pressett and

383
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 5: his style of play, stepping up and being in the pocket,

384
00:19:55,680 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 5: play action under center. It's just tailored to Jacoby Brissett

385
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 5: and the type of quarterback play that he that he

386
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 5: performs and that he does. I think Kyler is a

387
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 5: phenomenal athlete, a phenomenal player, phenomenal quarterback. I just don't

388
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 5: think this offense suits him as well as it does

389
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 5: Jacoby Brissett. And I think the players know that. They

390
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 5: see it, they feel it. They don't care how many

391
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 5: Commas you have in your net worth. They don't care

392
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 5: your pedigree, they don't care your draft status. They care

393
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 5: about winning and who gives us the best opportunity to win.

394
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 3: Brissett in his three starts seven total touchdowns, six passing,

395
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 3: one rushing, just the one interception. So yes, the numbers

396
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 3: look good. It has look good. It passes the eye test.

397
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,479
Speaker 3: The offense certainly coming together as a units. As Marvin

398
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 3: Harrison Junior told reporters last.

399
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 10: Night, it really takes all eleven guys, and you know

400
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 10: whether that's a receiver taking plays down the field.

401
00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 5: That's the old line.

402
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 10: Given the time for the quarterback running back, you know,

403
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 10: doing a job and pass pro or I'm always worried

404
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 10: about passing boxy. But there in run games import as well.

405
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 10: So it's just like all that kind of all has

406
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 10: to work together.

407
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 3: As one, and it did last night. But to your point, Paul,

408
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 3: it did in a win. It's one thing you lose

409
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 3: at the Colts. You lose the Packers pass attempts at

410
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 3: the end of the game fall incomplete. Otherwise, perhaps you're

411
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 3: looking at a three to zero record as Jacoby as

412
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 3: a starter. But now you have that win, which only

413
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 3: maybe muddies the water, or to Rob's point, maybe it

414
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 3: clears things up. Right now as we speak here on Tuesday,

415
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 3: Jonathan Gannon, we'll address the media later on this afternoon.

416
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 3: It's going to be a talking point all week long,

417
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 3: regardless of what the answers are that we get from

418
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 3: the head coach. You at the same time as Cardinals.

419
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 3: Right now, again, I go back to what I said earlier.

420
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 3: Can Monday nights win be a pivot point? The question

421
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 3: is who's leading this rest of the nine game stretch.

422
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 4: The words have stayed the same. It's basically three words.

423
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 4: Nothing has change changed, and we get it. That's the

424
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 4: look from the inside out. But from the outside d

425
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 4: what has changed would be the noise level. And the

426
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 4: only thing I would take into account if I'm the

427
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 4: head coach, would be does it reach the point of

428
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 4: being a distraction the conversation, the debate as we look

429
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 4: at stephen A. Smith right now with a lower third chiron,

430
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 4: should Kyler Murray be the starter when healthy? So, if

431
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 4: I'm the head coach in this whole equation, I'm monitoring,

432
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 4: you know, at what point, if at all, does it

433
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 4: become detrimental to the locker room? Does it detract from

434
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 4: the process of trying to win the next game.

435
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 5: I just don't know how you benched Jacoby Brissett right now?

436
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 5: How could you? I mean to me, that's that's everything,

437
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 5: every every ounce of goodwill that you've built up over

438
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 5: the last three years, the culture, the you know you

439
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 5: earn your spot, that goes out the window if you

440
00:22:59,080 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 5: if you walk away.

441

450
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 2: Cardinals trying to close it out two thirty one to

451
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 2: go back to throw ghost Prescott presser on. Prescott hit

452
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 2: escapes for a moment, then the pocket collapses.

453
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 5: Take your pick.

454
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 2: Kalais Campbell saving Collins, Walter, Nolan all in the backfield

455
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 2: for Arizona, Josh Sweat as well. Prescott drops back to

456
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 2: pass in trouble. Sacked again Kalais Campbell at the eighteen

457
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 2: yard line.

458
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 8: Unbelievable job by Kalais Campbell.

459
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 2: Two sacks in a row.

460
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 8: But let me say it all starts with the play

461
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 8: called Nick Rawles is ringing pressure.

462
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 2: Prescott Rowling White being chased, steps up, launches it right

463
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 2: side and it is picked off at the forty yard

464
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 2: line by denzeld burn He's tackled there and the Cardinals

465
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 2: are one minute and nineteen seconds away from victory. Denzeld

466
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 2: Berk's first career interception.

467
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 3: Well, we've been talking about it now for a while.

468
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 3: Finishing defensively, can you get the opponent off the field,

469
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 3: and the Cardinals did twice the final two Cowboys drives, fumble, interception,

470
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 3: and we also saw a couple of Kalays Campbell sacks.

471
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 3: There was a Walter Nolan sack. We'll discuss the Cardinals

472
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 3: first round pick in our next segment. Big picture, though,

473
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 3: this was a Cardinals defense against the number two scoring

474
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 3: offense and number one passing offense, held the Cowboys just

475
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 3: ten offensive points. The defense recorded five sacks, nine quarterback hits,

476
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 3: six tackles for loss, six passes defense, four forced fumbles,

477
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 3: two fumble recoveries, and an interception.

478
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,479
Speaker 4: I'm guessing the head coach is gonna cite two words,

479
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 4: motor and violence. They were the more physical team. They

480
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 4: were the more aggressive team. We talked about a pregame

481
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 4: out a veteran defender who's gone against Dak Prescott before.

482
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 4: In his quote, I thought it was a It was

483
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 4: pretty apropos He said, playing it's safe against Dak isn't safe.

484
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 3: You have to attack him.

485
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 4: Doesn't matter if he's played ten years, one hundred years

486
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 4: doesn't mean how many defenses. He's seen you got to

487
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 4: accelerate things on Dak Prescott and AQ and Pash rightfully

488
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 4: cited it a few times during the broadcast win under duress,

489
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 4: he does not look comfortable when he's on the move.

490
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 4: He is not nearly as accurate. He is not that guy.

491
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 4: And so the Cardinals saw as much did a great job.

492
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 4: I can't tell you how many times, at least from

493
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 4: the sideline, I'm looking up. Wait a minute, there's Garrett

494
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 4: Williams blitzing. There's Buddha Baker blitzing. Here comes Denzel Burke.

495
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 4: I mean, they seemingly were bringing different guys at different times.

496
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 4: They're very aggressive. That was something we talked about throughout

497
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 4: the game call, and to me, if there was one

498
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 4: adjustment they made coming out of the by, they're trying

499
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 4: to break tendencies. Here we go, we're bringing it. We're

500
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 4: going down swinging as we try and snap this five

501
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 4: game skin.

502
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 3: Nine quarterback hits five total sacks. The defense yet a

503
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 3: lot more aggressive. Maybe that was a little bit of

504
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 3: an adjustment. I'll say this though. The Cowboys, specifically Javonte Williams,

505
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 3: did pick up several blitzes and laid the lumber into

506
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 3: Mac Wilson Senior, who was dealing with rib injury in

507
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 3: the late in the fourth quarter. So credit the Cowboys

508
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 3: for picking up that blitch at the same time in

509
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 3: the bye week, what do you look for, how do

510
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 3: you change things up? How do you get better in

511
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter? Because we know the fourth quarter numbers, Robs,

512
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 3: it's not good. The Cardinals have been allowing too many points,

513
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 3: have not been scoring enough points. But it was the

514
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 3: defense that won the game in the fourth quarter and

515
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 3: why the Cardinals now are three and five.

516
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think this was Nick Rolis magnum opus of

517
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 5: game plans. It really was. And you're right, Craig. You know,

518
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 5: the thing that I guess with this defense before last

519
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 5: night was that they weren't getting enough pressure. They just

520
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 5: weren't getting enough consistent pressure on quarterbacks. And that all changed.

521
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,239
Speaker 5: They were bringing it and they were aggressive. Just like

522
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 5: the offense was aggressive all night, the defense was aggressive too,

523
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 5: and even sometimes at times when maybe Buddha Baker was

524
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 5: coming from midfield center field and had no chance of

525
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 5: even getting there, but just you know, putting that thought

526
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:45,959
Speaker 5: in Dak's mind that pressure is coming and might not

527
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 5: even have gotten to Dak Prescott, but he knew he

528
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 5: had to make a decision and get rid of the ball.

529
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 5: He couldn't hold on to it, and that to me

530
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 5: was a difference. It forced Dak to make decisions. Maybe

531
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 5: he got a little quicker than he wanted to and

532
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 5: he held on a little longer than he should have,

533
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 5: and he was laid on a couple throws, and the

534
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 5: defensive backs made some really good adjustments and really good plays.

535
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 5: Defensive line to me was the difference maker and the

536
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 5: pressure that was applied from not only from the edge

537
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 5: but from the interior. And yeah, we're gonna talk about

538
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 5: Walter Nolan, but he was a difference maker. Kalayas Campbell

539
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 5: was a difference maker. Zaven Collins has really been playing well.

540
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 5: He was a difference maker. And of course Josh Sweat,

541
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 5: I mean he was awesome. He was all over the

542
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 5: place so defensively, again it's great individual efforts, but I

543
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 5: really think the game plan was a difference.

544
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 3: Let's hear from the head coach what he saw defensively

545
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 3: in that fourth.

546
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 9: Quarter Russian coverage. I mean, you saw we had some

547
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 9: guys sacked, the quarterback took the ball away, closed windows,

548
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 9: were pretty sticky, and they got some more Daddy's over

549
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 9: there too, So I was enthused about how it looked

550
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 9: versus that it's a good crew.

551
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 3: We speculated middle of the week Paul that the return

552
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 3: of Garrett Williams, could that have a benefit for the

553
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 3: front because you have now your best corner back on

554
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 3: the field that it's not a young secondary anymore. You

555
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 3: have someone to kind of stabilize that third level and

556
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 3: maybe afford a mac wilson senior blitz or Buddha Baker

557
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 3: closer to the line of scrimmage because you have Garrett

558
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 3: back on the field. Because you look at pressure rates,

559
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 3: the top two pressure rates or two of the top

560
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 3: three pressure rates this season before last night came in

561
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 3: weeks one and two when Garrett Williams was on the field.

562
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 4: Interesting. Interesting, Yeah, So does he have a trickle down effect?

563
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 4: Does he solidify the entire back end and then allow

564
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 4: Nick Ross to dial up the front seven. It's a

565
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 4: great question. I think it's a legit question. He's also

566
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 4: very versatile. He can play outside and play in the nickel,

567
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 4: which is very difficult to do. He's incredibly intelligent. Nobody

568
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 4: studies more film than Garrett Williams, so you don't have

569
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 4: to worry about any sort of communication breakdowns by playing

570
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 4: a rookie, for example, you can break out your most

571
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 4: complex stuff trying to skis coverages when you have a

572
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 4: Garrett Williams because the communication is on point in sync

573
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 4: with a Buddha Baker a Jalen Thompson.

574
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 5: It's interesting I.

575
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 4: Probed a little bit deeper, talked to a few people

576
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 4: out Buddha Baker because he had such a historic season

577
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 4: last year and some of the tackle numbers are down

578
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 4: this year, and you're right. We talked about that. Is

579
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 4: that because he's not playing in the boxes often? And

580
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 4: does that have to do with Garrett Williams? And asking

581
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 4: a few people, the answer was no, it has more

582
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 4: to do with the cowboy or a defensive line this

583
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 4: year versus last year. Last year was necessary to put

584
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 4: Boodha Baker near the line of scrimmage, you know, closer

585
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 4: to the ball, just because he had to be that

586
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 4: second line of defense because the Cardinals gap integerty wasn't

587
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 4: always the best based on the personnel. It's a lot

588
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 4: better this year, just based on the dudes you have

589
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 4: up front, and that has enabled Buddha Baker to play

590
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 4: off the ball a little bit more.

591
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 3: The biggest dude on that defensive line, Kalais Campbell. From

592
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 3: him postgame talking about how the defense finished and finished

593
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 3: off the Cowboys.

594
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 7: I mean, we just made the plays when it matter,

595
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 7: you know, and we found a way to get the

596
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 7: momentum back when they end up making us some plays

597
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 7: in the fourth quarter. We didn't let that ship was down.

598
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 7: We found a way to get the momentum back and

599
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 7: get one stop, you know. And that's what football is

600
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 7: all about, you know, it's ebbs and flows. You know,

601
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 7: they're going to make some plays. Just the NFL. They're

602
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 7: great players. They have incredible players on the team, Ceedee Lamb,

603
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 7: you know, Dak Prescott. These guys are incredible. But what

604
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 7: I was proud of my guys is that we didn't flinch.

605
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 7: We just, you know, all right, let's look back in,

606
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 7: let's get away, Let's find a way to get one

607
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 7: play to win this play.

608
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 3: Kaleis Campbell has five sacks, matching his season total from

609
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 3: all of last year, played the most snaps among any

610
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 3: defensive lineman last night. Come on, and then there's Josh Sweat, who,

611
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 3: according to Next Gen stat said a season high and

612
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 3: second most pressures in his career with eight, someone who

613
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 3: has been well worth the money, and yeah, maybe it

614
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 3: does and have the sacks in the fourth quarter, but

615
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 3: he set the tone on that opening drive with the

616
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 3: sack on fourth down and goal, getting Dak and company

617
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 3: off the field on the first possession. So it's been

618
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 3: meaningful plays from Josh Sweat and again worth every penny

619
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 3: that he received in the offseason.

620
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 5: No question. And you know what's interesting about Josh Sweat

621
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 5: is you know when you watch it, I don't know.

622
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 5: I watch him walk and he's got a limp, and

623
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 5: I'm like, is he just like playing possum here? Is

624
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 5: he is limping a little bit? I'm like, is he hurt?

625
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 5: Or is it what's going on here? And then he

626
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 5: goes out and gets a couple of sacks and he's

627
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 5: putting pressure on the quarterback. He's running guys down all

628
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 5: over the field and I'm like, this guy is unbelievable.

629
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 5: He's like changing the whole dynamic of this defense and

630
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 5: he and he's also elevating the play the level of

631
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 5: play of everybody else around him. I think Xavin Collins

632
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 5: is having his best year as a pro right now.

633
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 5: And I'm not even talking about statistics. I'm just talking

634
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 5: about what we watched Savan Collins play and just what

635
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 5: he does the offensive lineman that try to block him

636
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 5: from a from a bull rush standpoint, He's just he's

637
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 5: bowling guys over and it's it's fun to watch because

638
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 5: it's so disruptive and it really literally put that Dak

639
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 5: Prescott last night put him into a sack situation from

640
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 5: other guys because OF's Aven Collins and what he did

641
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 5: to create that.

642
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 4: You know, it's interesting. In that same interview, Kalais Campbell

643
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 4: just on his own name, Josh Swett the best player

644
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 4: on the field. That was his direct quote. And I watched,

645
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 4: you know, I'm down by the defensive lineman and the

646
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 4: edge rushers, and Kalais was giving him a lot of

647
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 4: love throughout the game, a lot of fist bumps from

648
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 4: Kalayis to Josh Sweat. So you know, from one guy

649
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 4: to another on that defensive front, he knew exactly the

650
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 4: impact Josh Swett was having on the game. And I'll

651
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 4: say this to Rob's point about sort of that hitch

652
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 4: in the gidea up when the ball is snapped, you

653
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 4: never see it right, which is really intriguing. Here's the

654
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 4: other thing, though, there have been games where he started

655
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 4: out like a house on fire and then the second half,

656
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter not as much of an impact. So

657
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 4: I think the bye did Josh Swtt a lot of good.

658
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 4: I also wonder he knows that team really well, playing

659
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 4: him two times a year every year for how many years.

660
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 4: He knows the Dallas offensive line, he knows this game,

661
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 4: he knows the key to getting after Dak Prescott. So

662
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 4: everything I think came to fruition. Honestly, they should submit

663
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 4: all his numbers and he should be a candidate for

664
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 4: NFC Defensive Player of the Week.

665
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 3: Also the spotlight primetime Mounday night football, everyone's watching, and

666
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 3: it's natural to just have a little bit more energy,

667
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 3: a little bit more juice when you know you're the

668
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 3: only game in town.

669
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 4: Sort of like the super Bowl at one of the

670
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 4: best games of not the best game of his career,

671
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 4: on the biggest stage. So, okay, if that's the Josh

672
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 4: Wett you're going to get in the second half of

673
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 4: the season when you need him the most, that's why

674
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 4: you paid him the big money in the offseason.

675
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 3: We mentioned we were going to talk about Walter Nolan

676
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 3: the third. He's going to have his own segment. I

677
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 3: do want to acknowledge two other rookies because maximell And

678
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 3: goes down with a concussion, and all of a sudden,

679
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 3: Denzel Burke two passes defense and the game ceiling interception,

680
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 3: a great pass breakup on Cedee Lamb. And then Mac

681
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 3: Wilson Senior leaves the game in the fourth quarter with

682
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 3: a rib injury. Cody Simon comes in, plays the most

683
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 3: defensive snaps all season long, forced a fumble, great strip

684
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 3: of Javonte Williams on the second to last Cowboys possession.

685
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 3: So that five rookie class really played well last night.

686
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 3: No one played as well though. Then first round draft

687
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 3: pick Walter Nolan the third, we discuss his Cardinals' debut

688
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 3: in prime time. We'll get to that next. It's the

689
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 3: Cardinals Red Sea Report Craig reelupaulk ABC and Rod priderckson

690
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 3: here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio network.

691
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 2: Prescott will take an handed off Williams running left craft

692
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 2: at the ten and drop by Walter Nolan. The rookie,

693
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 2: on just his second NFL play, gets a tackle for

694
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,280
Speaker 2: a loss. It's a setback of about two yards Prescott

695
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 2: three step drop. His pass right side is deflected incomplete.

696
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 2: Walter Nolan, the rookie out of ole Miss, got a

697
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 2: hand up to bat it down. So he's got a

698
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 2: pass defended and a tackle for a loss in his

699
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 2: NFL debut for Uscot the pass in trouble and he

700
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 2: is sacked back at the forty three by Walter Nolan.

701
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 2: Have a debut, a tackle for a loss, a bat

702
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 2: at ball, and now a sack by the rookie out

703
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 2: of Ole Miss in his first NFL game.

704
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 3: This is what the Cardinals have needed.

705
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 8: An incredible move outside move against Tyler Smith, probably their

706
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 8: best offensive lineman.

707
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 5: For the sack, Walter Nolan. Welcome to the NFL.

708
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 3: Well worth the wait, Cardinals sixteenth overall draft pick Walter Nolan.

709
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 3: The third outstanding debut in thirty seven snaps. By the way,

710
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 3: kalayis Campbell the only defensive lineman to play more. Kalay

711
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 3: has played thirty eight. Here's someone Rob that I think

712
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 3: played his first game or had his first padded work,

713
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 3: extensive padded work since maybe Ole Miss and getting ready

714
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 3: for the ball game because he didn't have an offseason. Well,

715
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 3: he had an offseason, but you're not in pads, didn't

716
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,720
Speaker 3: have a training camp, didn't have preseason, had a handful

717
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 3: of practices, but you're only not going full speed yet.

718
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 3: Walter looked pretty fresh out there, and the second snap

719
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 3: of the game, he makes an impact.

720
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, Walter was probably born in Kalais's rookie year.

721
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 3: But Kalais Campbell's two hundred and fiftieth career start last

722
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 3: night Walter's first game.

723
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 5: Period. You know, look, there's certain guys, and that's very

724
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 5: rare in this league. Every now and then you see

725
00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 5: a guy that on film it's just different. It's like

726
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:06,280
Speaker 5: a different speed. Everyone else is like still staying still

727
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 5: or slow motion, and then there's this one guy that

728
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 5: is just moving. I think of like an Aaron Donald. Okay,

729
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 5: a Warren Sap junior say out, okay, I'm going way back.

730
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 5: But there's there's certain there's certain guys every now and

731
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 5: then that are just at a different speed, and I know,

732
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 5: I gotta pump the brakes a little bit. He has

733
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,919
Speaker 5: only had one game, thirty seven snaps or whatever you said.

734
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 5: But Walter Nolan from what I watched of that game

735
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 5: last night, he's he moves at a different speed. There's

736
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 5: there's kinetic violence to his get off and the hands

737
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 5: and everything about just his initial burst and violence. It's

738
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,760
Speaker 5: different than everybody else.

739
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 4: It's funny you say that, because Craig, we're out there

740
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 4: watching the open portion of media right a practice and

741
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 4: it's just individual drills and snow mono imano. It's just

742
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 4: guys getting off the ball. And to hear the other

743
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 4: defensive lineman in the group hoot and holler as he

744
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 4: comes off, to hear those guys compliment and appreciate the

745
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 4: get off, the burst, the explosiveness. Again, players, no players.

746
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 4: So what was the one thing this defense needed more

747
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 4: than anything? They needed that interior d line pressure. Right,

748
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 4: if you're in the bias, say, man, okay, here's the

749
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 4: magic football one. What could we add to this defense?

750
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 4: It would be the interior defensive line get pressure someone

751
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 4: other than Dalvin Tomlinson to be a wrecking ball. You know,

752
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 4: there's been a trend where Dalvin Thomlinson's been in the game,

753
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 4: teams have run outside, they've run the stretch, they've run

754
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 4: the zone. When Dalvin Thomlinson's not in the game, they

755
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 4: hammer the Cardinals between the tackles. You can't do that

756
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 4: anymore if Walter Nolan is in there. That's really one

757
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 4: two combo and the interior D line ninety seven and

758
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 4: ninety four.

759
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 3: Let's hear from the man himself, Walter Nolan, the third

760
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 3: after his Cardinals' debut last night.

761
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 7: That was amazing man.

762
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 5: You know it was even better that we the dogs,

763
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 5: so for me to be able.

764
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 7: To go out there and have the performers that I

765
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 7: did on top of the win, and I can't wait

766
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 7: to get to Seattle and compete.

767
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's you.

768
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 3: I'm lucky enough to be able to go out there

769
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 3: and perform like this.

770
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 7: So Jay, go out there and try.

771
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 5: To get better every week.

772
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 3: How good was Walter last night? The fourth player in

773
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 3: NFL history to have one sack or more, two tackles

774
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 3: for loss or more, one pass defense or more in

775
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 3: his first career game, the first player to accomplish such

776
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,240
Speaker 3: a feat since some guy by the name of TJ.

777
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 5: Watts.

778
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 3: Oh, come on in twenty seventeen.

779
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 10: Wow.

780
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 5: Wow.

781
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 4: You know what's amazing too is the first and goal

782
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 4: at the seven, the Cowboys first possession and the TfL Yeah,

783
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 4: loss of two and what did Kalaias say back in

784
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 4: June during mandatory mini camp about Walter and Nolan? What

785
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 4: stood out the most? Quote kalaeis his lateral quickness. Very

786
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 4: few players can go back door and make a TfL.

787
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 4: He's one of those guys. That's exactly what he did

788
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 4: on his first defensive possession.

789
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think they tried to down block a tight

790
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 5: end on him or something. I mean, come on, that's

791
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 5: not gonna work. Guys. All right, this cat's a little different.

792
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 5: And you're right, there are some players that will not

793
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 5: show up in the stat sheet. But just against the run,

794
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 5: they Dallas tried to double team him and he just

795
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 5: absolutely stuffed it, came back, got in on the tackle.

796
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 5: I don't know that he made the ultimate tackle, but

797
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 5: he it was zero yard gain. I mean, he just

798
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 5: absolutely can be a disruptive force in there, both in

799
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 5: the run game and obviously in the past game.

800
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 3: You mentioned Kalais Campbell. How about we here last night

801
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 3: on Kalayis Campbell from the Cardinals locker room show. What

802
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,760
Speaker 3: he saw from the rookie defensive lineman.

803
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 7: He's a natural playmaker. He has so much confidence, and

804
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 7: you know when you have that kind of confidence to

805
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 7: be able to play your game and realize that you know,

806
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 7: it's the same game you play your whole life. You know,

807
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 7: it doesn't really change. You know, people get a little better,

808
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 7: scheme gets a little more complicated. But in the day's

809
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 7: football and the way he comes in with the attitude

810
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 7: he has, I mean, he's really just you can tell

811
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 7: you loves ball. And I was happy to see him

812
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 7: have a lot of success today. I knew it was

813
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 7: gonna happen though. I mean I told him like, and

814
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 7: I'll be telling everybody like, I can't wait to see

815
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 7: this what this guy does.

816
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 3: Now, again, as we've all said, it's one game y had.

817
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 3: It's a great first game. But you look at that

818
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 3: defensive line room now and we talk about a rotation, well,

819
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 3: Darius Robinson, I should say, Walter Nolan the third comes

820
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 3: in and takes a lot of snaps, d rob Dante

821
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 3: Stills play season low snaps. So again it's the trickle down.

822
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 3: You're you love to have that rotation. Yet I think

823
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 3: we saw, especially in the fourth quarter pall because yes,

824
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 3: Khalais is playing fifty eight or fifty seven percent of

825
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 3: the defensive snaps, but part of that conversation you had

826
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 3: with him last night was when is Kalais on the

827
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 3: field for those snaps? It's meaningful moments, whether in the

828
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 3: first half or second half, more likely the fourth quarter.

829
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 3: And I think you're seeing that along that defensive line.

830
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 3: When do we need to make a play? Okay, that's

831
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 3: when we need Khalais, Dalvin Walter on the field and

832
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:08,439
Speaker 3: then everyone else they'll get their snaps when those guys

833
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 3: aren't on the field.

834
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 4: And what did Kalais and Dalvin have as veterans has

835
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 4: proven guys they have that confidence and in the big

836
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 4: money moments, they're going to make a play. Khalais has

837
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 4: been phenomenal in that. We even asked him last night

838
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 4: are you sandbagging? I mean, are you saving something for

839
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 4: those big moments in the fourth quarter? And that same

840
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 4: confidence Walter Nolan, the third has Kalais referenced it right there.

841
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 4: He said to the media last week in his media

842
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,439
Speaker 4: scrum the rookie he said, you know what, the way

843
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 4: I carry myself, I feel like I can do whatever

844
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 4: in the world, he said, and I think I can

845
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 4: help this team out a lot. He didn't say it

846
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 4: in a boastful way whatsoever. It wasn't a flex, it

847
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 4: was just quiet confidence. I talked to him one on

848
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 4: one on Saturday, and I asked him about the challenge

849
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 4: of the NFL. He said, football is football and he

850
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 4: let it hang and just stared at me. And he

851
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 4: really is confident in what he is he can do.

852
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 5: You know, Klay has brought out the Reggie White hip

853
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 5: toss for his last sack. It was all awesome to see.

854
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 5: I mean, this guy is just I can't believe it.

855
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 5: He doesn't age. He's playing the most snaps of any

856
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 5: d lineman out there. He came in and he was like,

857
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 5: I'm only gonna play twenty twenty five snaps. And now

858
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 5: he's out there playing. He's playing more snaps than his

859
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 5: age and doing the Reggie White hip toss. Getting sacks.

860
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 5: Just a phenomenal contributor.

861
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 4: And you're gonna need that at Seattle because a Q.

862
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 4: Shipley's gonna spend all this week in his film room

863
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 4: and he's gonna tell us that Seattle's offensive line is

864
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 4: much improved and they're really good, and all of a sudden,

865
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:35,240
Speaker 4: they're playing a dominant season.

866
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 5: I'm not buying it.

867
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,280
Speaker 4: Seattle has and I had an offensive line for a decade.

868
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 4: I want to see this Cardinals D line go up

869
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 4: there and dominate.

870
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 5: Well in Seattle's defense is not the Cowboys defense either,

871
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 5: So this is going to be a step up defensively

872
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 5: this week. Big challenge.

873
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 4: I'll give you the Seattle defense.

874
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,359
Speaker 3: I'll give you that a Seahawks team that has won

875
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,960
