1 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Welcome bird Gang. On today's show, All Calbasi joins me. 2 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: So that whole the Cardinals dug themselves. Yeah, it just 3 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,399 Speaker 1: got a little deeper. Now is it too deep to 4 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: climb out of them? Because time will tell and time 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,600 Speaker 1: is not really on their side. Let's get into it 6 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: all the good, bad and ugly from a week nine 7 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: loss to the Seahawks. It's Cardinals Cover two, Episode six twelve, 8 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: and it starts now. Welcome to Cardinals Cover two. Hitting 9 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: the backfield and down he goes for a loss. J. J. 10 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: Watt nailed it. Cardinals Cover two is presented by Hun Day, 11 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals, and by Arizona Cardinals Podcasts. 12 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: Visit acy Cardinals dot com Slash podcasts. He's at the 13 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:51,279 Speaker 1: ten half of five. He's in again, so for Harry Magic. Whoa, 14 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: here's Craig Griolou. So I did look out my window 15 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: first thing this morning, Paul, And yes the sun did 16 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: come up here on Monday, November seventh, although for a 17 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: little while there I wasn't quite sure. Post Sunday and 18 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: a thirty one twenty one lost to the Seattle Seahawks 19 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: at stay Farm Stadium, well, it's Arizona. Come on, we're 20 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: gonna get sunshine, you know. That's that's that's the given. 21 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: Are sure you didn't see any clouds on the horizon there? Agree? 22 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: Are you sure about that? Not a cloud in this guy, 23 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: although amongst the fan base, I can certainly see a 24 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: lot of clouds, sense a lot of dark clouds, and 25 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're going away anytime soon, at 26 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: least not before the next time the Cardinals are on 27 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: the field next Sunday in Los Angeles. What is the 28 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: seven day forecast? By the way, that's that's how we're 29 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: taking it around here, one seven day forecast at a time. 30 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: Get the Doppler radar out. Because it's not so much 31 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: where you are, it's how you got here and where 32 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: you're going. Correct. I don't want to get too philosophical 33 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: around here, but it's what do you do about what 34 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: got you here and what can you do going forward? 35 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: Because if you're telling me, for example, I'll just pick 36 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: okay out of the hat, let's just pick one issue 37 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: because there are many. In fact, that's part of the problem, 38 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: is it not. You can't fix a problem unless you 39 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: can diagnose it. How do you prescribe it if you 40 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 1: can't diagnose it and identify it, and you know it 41 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: works during the course of a game and everyone's watching 42 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: the game and a different capacity, to a different level, 43 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: And as a sideline reporter at my little notebook here, 44 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,679 Speaker 1: and as I'm kind of keeping track of what's going 45 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: on and keeping your head on a swivel on the 46 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: back of the other side of the page, I'm always 47 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: right down potential questions. Oh, well, that's a key play. 48 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: I better ask coach about that. That's another key play 49 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: that didn't go very well. Let me ask about that. 50 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: Maybe that By the time we get to the fourth quarter, 51 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: I've got a dozen different critical mistakes that I could 52 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: potentially ask about. That's too many. That's problematic when there 53 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: are so many you can't point to a single moment 54 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: or a single play as a turning point, as a 55 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: game changer, as something to immediately address and or remedy. 56 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: You know, many games, you can kind them on one hand. Okay, 57 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: and literally for almost twenty years, I do the postgame 58 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: interview with the head coach, and you're asking a few 59 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: questions as the key turning points in the game, for 60 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: better or worse. Well with this team this year. Too often, 61 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: there's just too many plays you can cite, and I think, 62 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: honestly that's your answer, that there is nothing specific, and 63 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: that's what makes it truly problematic and or dare I 64 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: say it fatal lethal? It is undermining your season as 65 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: we speak, the abundance of errors in different areas, too 66 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: many guys, too culpable, too often. What do you do 67 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: as a head coach and a coaching staff, what do 68 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: you identify? And so once again, it's not necessarily where 69 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: you're at, because guess what if you actually win your 70 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,839 Speaker 1: next two games against these NFC West opponents, Okay, you'll 71 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: be right in the thick of it at least the 72 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: way the NFC is right now. But nobody wants to 73 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: hear that, especially yours. Truly, you got to figure out 74 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,679 Speaker 1: how you got here and if you can do anything 75 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: different to once again change the seven day forecast. It's 76 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: funny you look at how we all entered this season, 77 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: and it didn't matter how this team began the first 78 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: month two months, because everyone was going to point to, all, right, 79 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: what do you do in December? How do you finish? 80 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: Based off the team's lack of finish a year ago, 81 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: Yet here you are at three and six. You're quickly 82 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: running out of time because you're oh and three within 83 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: the division. You're three games back of first place Seattle. Again, 84 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: first place Seattle. I still can't believe. But you see 85 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: it now, You've seen it twice in four weeks, but 86 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: essentially a four game deficit because the Seahawks just swept 87 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: you with that win on Sunday. So is there time 88 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: eight games? Sure? But to your point, based off the mistakes, 89 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: what has led anyone to believe that there is enough 90 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: time to get back into this playoff picture? Because right 91 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: now you're so far out of the picture, you're not 92 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: even out of focus. You're you're you're like in a 93 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: different picture frame when you look at what is going 94 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: on this season for the Arizona Cardinals. As long as 95 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: we keep hearing the two words self inflicted, I don't 96 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: think any observer has true reason to believe. And I 97 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 1: think the question becomes hit zoom out. Does the locker 98 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: room believe? And I think that's a legitimate question. You know, 99 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: when Kelvin Beecham, one of the team leaders on question, 100 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: on this team a guy who honestly it was in 101 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: the governor's race one day before the election, as we 102 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: record this, I'd vote for him for governor. Considering the 103 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: field we have out there, any elected office right now, 104 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: i'd vote Calvin Beecham in there. So when he's saying 105 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: Cardinals beating Cardinals, that's exactly what we've been saying pretty 106 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: much the extent of this season. Itself inflicted. And is 107 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: there any reason to believe that's going to change, that 108 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,119 Speaker 1: they're going to be able to resolve that. And look, 109 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: this whole notion that, Okay, it starts in practice. Sure, 110 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: I'll buy that as far as the approach and the mentality, 111 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: but you're not playing full contact football in practice, not 112 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: even close to full contact football, So there is no 113 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: direct correlation between your performance in practice man versus game day. 114 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: Let's just eliminate that line of thinking, because there's nothing 115 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: that resembles full game day full contact football at any 116 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: point during a practice week during a regular season. Cardinals 117 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: came up with a different way to kind of describe 118 00:06:55,320 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: a week game as far as Week nine, a different format, 119 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 1: yet the result was the same. Paul. For the first 120 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: time this season, the Cardinals took the ball on their 121 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: opening possession. The offense marched down field fourteen plays eighty 122 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: three yards and scored a touchdown for the first time 123 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: all season in the first quarter, first time since Week 124 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: thirteen a year ago. They scored on their first possession 125 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: of the game, and you had a lead. You had 126 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: a lead at the end of the first quarter for 127 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: the first time all year. It looked good. But after 128 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: that first drive, the next seven drives, six punts, a 129 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: lost fumble, and as Zachert pointed out postgame started fast, 130 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: gotta lead for the defense, and from there it just 131 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: felt like the wheels fell off. Even at halftime it's 132 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: ten to seven, you're down a fuel goal, and then 133 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: you come out to start the second half and you 134 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: have that misible three and out. It just, yeah, whatever 135 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: whatever adjustment Seattle made and or fatal mistakes the Cardinals committed, 136 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go back to that interior your oh line. 137 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: When Will Hernandez went out of the game, that was significant. 138 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: It just is you're on your third center, you're on 139 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: what your third left guard, maybe fourth, and now you 140 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: Will Hernandez, your rocket right guard. He is out. And 141 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: the two big game wreckers on that Seattle defense go 142 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: by the name of al Woods and Shelby Harris interior 143 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: or d Lineman. So that was an issue that inside 144 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: pressure the penetration on a consistent basis. We now it's 145 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: especially problematic to a Kyler Murray who is not big ben. 146 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 1: He doesn't hang in there like an oak tree with 147 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: pass rushers dripping off his jersey, using completes passes downfield. 148 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: We get it. So once again, I'll go back. If 149 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: you're telling me the interior O line is in this 150 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: similar shape against the Rams and Aaron Donald, look out 151 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: because right now that there's no amount of game planning, 152 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: her scheming that's going to resolve that unless you want 153 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,719 Speaker 1: to truly all of a sudden, get Kyler on the 154 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: move with a bunch of boots and start moving the pocket, 155 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: which which maybe they have to consider doing. We've seen 156 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: no evidence in his three plus years with the Cardinals 157 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: that is he is down with that, that he's experienced 158 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: at that and when that he'll try, you know they'll 159 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: find that effective anyway, we'll see. Put him in the 160 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: shotgun gives him more time when you have a suspect 161 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,959 Speaker 1: offensive line, especially up the middle. Yet when you're dealing 162 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: with as we look at it, four different starting left guards, 163 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: three different starting centers, and potentially a second different starting 164 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,119 Speaker 1: right guard depending on what's going on with Will Hernandez. 165 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: And maybe that's where it starts and begins with when 166 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: you look at this offense, because if your quarterback doesn't 167 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: have time to throw the football, you don't have a 168 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: downfield passing game. Cardinals only had one passing play of 169 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: longer than eighteen yards and that was a short pass 170 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: across the middle to DeAndre Hopkins, who then he carried 171 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: it into the end zone for twenty two yards and 172 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: the score. So you know, we all know what the 173 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: issues are. But to your point, how do you solve 174 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: if once again the old line cannot protect the quarterback 175 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: and the quarterback has to work a little bit harder. 176 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: Do you roll him out more? Can he throw on 177 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: the run? Talking about Kyler Murray because right now, even 178 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: these little quick screens which would help, but they're not 179 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: even effective. No, it's just you know, we saw one 180 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: screen and I forget who it went to, and DeAndre 181 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: Hopkins was the lead blocker. Well, guess what. DeAndre Hopkins 182 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: is not Larry Fitzgerald at the end of his career. 183 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: He's not one of the best blocking receivers in the league. Cardinals, 184 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: for the most part, have smaller of slighter build receivers. 185 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: So when you throw these perimeter screens, it's contingent on 186 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: defenders getting moved, defenders getting blocked. Cardinals don't have the 187 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: personnel around whoever's making the reception to truly block and 188 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: pave the way. So that's the difference. Like when people say, oh, 189 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: the Eagles came to town and they made that perimeter 190 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 1: screen game work, Well, guess what, you got a j 191 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: Brown out there moving dudes. And so Cardinals don't have 192 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: that sort of player in the receiver room. Now if 193 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: you argue, hey, let's get a Steven Anderson out there 194 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: in space as a blocker, a Trey McBride, Okay, And 195 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: we saw a little bit of that at times. But 196 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: once again, this has been a season long ailment that 197 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: has affected the Cardinals. The lack of a downfield passing game. 198 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: It just is, and it hasn't been consistent at times, 199 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: has been completely absent. Again, Cardinals are the only team 200 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: without a passing play of forty or more yards. But 201 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: I would settle for a passing play of twenty five 202 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 1: or thirty or more yards at this point because this 203 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: dink and dunk, you can do it for a drive 204 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 1: or two, but to be consistent throughout the entire game. Now, 205 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, that's more plays for more mistakes. 206 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: And you looked at the mistakes that they the offense 207 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: made on Sunday, eight priest nap penalties. Four of those 208 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: will fall start penalties. And you're at home. Wow, And look, 209 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: Drew stan said it after the game with you, and 210 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: he said it before the game with me. The team 211 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: that runs the ball will win the game. Anything can 212 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: come on. It's not that simple. But if you're thinking, 213 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: how do you open up the downfield passing game, well, 214 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: especially against the way defenses are playing the Cardinals, which 215 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: it's not just Seattle. This has been the pattern and 216 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: I fully expect this to continue. They're gonna see solid fronts, 217 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: five man fronts. They're gonna stack that defensive line with 218 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: three interior linement, two ends. They're gonna crash. Each one 219 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: of the ends is going to crash to try and 220 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: do their best to prevent Kyler from pulling it and 221 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: running it. And they're gonna challenge the Cardinals to run 222 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: the ball between the tackles. Meanwhile, they're gonna go the 223 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: two high safety soft shell coverage prevent any deep strikes, 224 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: and they're gonna challenge the Cardinals to have an intermediate 225 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: passing game. And right now, what's missing the run game 226 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: by anyone other than Kyler's second straight game, he's your 227 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: leading rusher. I specifically ask Cliff Kingsbury after the games 228 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: that problematic. He said, yes, absolutely, And then number two, 229 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: where's the intermediate passing game? Something to force the defense 230 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: to pull one to those safeties down into the box 231 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: or a little closer to the line of scrimmage. Now 232 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: with perhaps a single high look, you can get a 233 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: deep shot to one side of the field or another. 234 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: And so that really is the challenge that the Cardinals 235 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: faced defensively game in and game out, and they've yet 236 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: to prove capable of beating that defensive approach. I went 237 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: back and look because your question to Cliff about Kyler Murray, 238 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: I think was a good one, and you look, and 239 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: this season, Kyle Murray has led the team in rushing 240 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: four times. They have yet to win any one of 241 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: those games, and three of his four leading rushing games 242 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: have happened in the last four games, and twice against 243 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. It can't just be Kyler Murray. As much 244 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: as everything falls on the quarterback, he can't do it 245 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: by himself. And then also he can't fumble the ball 246 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: as well. You talk about pivotal points in the game. 247 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: On Sunday, you're going into halftime potentially tied at ten 248 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: or maybe with the lead, and you're carrying the ball loose. 249 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: Ryan Neil just does get a finger, a couple of 250 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: fingers on the football to knock it out of your hands, 251 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,599 Speaker 1: and you lose it. And again you go into the 252 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: locker room and it's just like the air has been 253 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: sucked out of the stadium. The roof is open, so 254 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: it's got somewhere to go, and you're just like, really, 255 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: I mean once again in position and then you cough 256 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,479 Speaker 1: it up. And it was that play that was preceded 257 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: by the Robbie Anderson drop. So you think about in 258 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: the play before that, it was Eno Benjamin on third 259 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: and fourteen and he got fifteen with a herculean effort, 260 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: I mean, just unbelievable effort. So now the building's coming alive, right, 261 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: they're feeding off an Eno Benjamin a fan favor to 262 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: begin with with the ASU background. What an effort. And 263 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: then a couple of plays later on third and four, 264 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson right in the midst clunk and ain't a 265 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: brutal drop for what would have been a chunk play. 266 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: Fourth and four, Kyler Escapes makes the Seahawks pay there. 267 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: He is a big chunk run ball comes out and 268 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: before the half you lose on out a chance to 269 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: at least tie the game, if not take the lead, 270 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: get the building behind you. You come out after halftime 271 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: and then with a quick three and out and it 272 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: was dead. The building was just dead at that point. 273 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: And there was zero home field advantage for the Cardinals 274 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: because the fans are going to feed off what you're 275 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: giving them, and at that point there wasn't enough to 276 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: ratchet up the emotions in that building. And yeah, there 277 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: was that stretch. I know you had some of the numbers. 278 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: There was that stretch of offensive futility after that opening 279 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: touchdown drive. That's just confounding because you asked the players, 280 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: you asked the head coach. Did they make any significant 281 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: defensive adjustments. No, there wasn't anything radical they did with 282 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: their scheme. Seattle. Once again, you get back to Cardinals 283 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: beating Cardinals and the fact that DeAndre Hopkins was m 284 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: IA for much of that game. Two targets, two catches 285 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: on the first drive and then targeted three times the 286 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: rest of the game. I go back to the Larry 287 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: Fitzgerald was playing for the Arizona Cardinals not too long ago, 288 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: and whether or not he's retired, but he's no longer 289 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: playing football. But whenever the team, regardless of the quarterback, 290 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: needed a play or needed it to get the crowd 291 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: back into the ball game, you targeted number eleven. Yep. 292 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: And I think Hopkins can be that player for this 293 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: year's versions and for however long he's here. But you 294 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: have to be able to throw the ball his way. 295 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: And it was amazing just watching a couple of plays 296 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: where the ball is snapped and Kyle there's not even 297 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: looking left or looking right. And they did move d 298 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: hop around. So yeah, Tyrek Woolin did play well, but 299 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: they weren't matched up or he they weren't targeting Hopkins 300 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: a lot when Woollen was on him. And Woollen is 301 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: playing the right side of Seattle's dfront defense, the left 302 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: side of the Cardinals offense. So when hop went to 303 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: the left side. Then boom, he saw number twenty seven, 304 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: the six four round five rookie runs a four two six. 305 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: The former receivers somehow fell under the radar and now 306 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 1: ends up in Seattle and your most most recent offensive, sorry, 307 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: defensive rookie of the month. And then of course you 308 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: got Kenneth Walker, the offensive Rookie of the month, Gino Smith, 309 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: the offensive player of the month, and so Seattle has 310 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 1: hit the reset button with players like that, and it 311 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: was it was quite quite impressive to watch him check 312 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: d Hop. But once again, to your point, that wasn't 313 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: the entirety of the game, because every time de Hop 314 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: went to the right side wooland did not follow, and 315 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 1: there were other times where he started inside and then 316 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: he was in motion and he didn't have twenty seven 317 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:43,239 Speaker 1: on him, And so yeah, you at least wanted that 318 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: those targets to double against Seattle, and especially as things 319 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: bogged down, I think we are all surprised we didn't 320 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: see it, because if there's one receiver in the league 321 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: you can force the ball to, it is DeAndre Hoppins, 322 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: especially as Drew stan likes to say, as soon as 323 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: you see the defenders back to the line, of scrimmage. 324 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: Throw it, Throw it, because d Hop has the advantage. 325 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: He can go to either side of the defender. He 326 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: has that catch radius. And then of course you saw 327 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: the two of them get into it on the sideline 328 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: a little bit. Now, I will say, and I've said 329 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: this repeatedly, that obviously the TV cameras aren't going to 330 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: catch a moment in time, and they caught everything, and 331 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: they documented. Everybody saw the two of them going back 332 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: and forth. It was mainly Kyler yelling at d Hop. 333 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,959 Speaker 1: I will say, not too long after that, they were 334 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: both sitting on either side of Cam Turner looking at 335 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,719 Speaker 1: a tablet and they're trying to figure out, Okay, what 336 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: are we doing on the next series. So and you 337 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: heard d Hop after the game that he doesn't mind 338 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: the passion from Kyler Murray. At the same time, you'd 339 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: love to see Kyler maybe take some of the blame, 340 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: for example, on the Greg Dortch double pass, and he 341 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: put the blame on Dorch. And I'm not saying it 342 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: wasn't Dortch's fault. It seems a little curious though that 343 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 1: the lateral. You wouldn't start that play with the lateral, 344 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: but at the same time, how many times was Kurt 345 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 1: Warner not responsible or culpable for a mistake and he 346 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 1: took the hit he wore. And that's something that the 347 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: locker room notices and respects from the quarterback of any team, 348 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback with a franchise record contract. That's something I 349 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: think goes with the job that I personally would love 350 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: to see the Cardinals quarterback grow into a little bit more. 351 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: Might not be your fault, doesn't matter, take the blame 352 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: own it where it on behalf of the rest of 353 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 1: the guys in that huddle, Kurt Warner, Carson Palmer always 354 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: their faults, regardless if it was or was not. And 355 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: to your point, on that double pass, typically when you're 356 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 1: throwing a double pass, that first pass is the lateral, 357 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,959 Speaker 1: not the second pass. Though they did try it in 358 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: the playoff and that didn't work out against the Los 359 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: Angeles Rams, But it's something you work on in practice. 360 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: But you're not going full speed and you're not having 361 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: those defenders in your face where you have feel like 362 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: you're getting rushed. And obviously it certainly looked like it 363 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,479 Speaker 1: was two forward passes, although they counted it, and you're like, okay, 364 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,479 Speaker 1: let's half the ball, let's go, And obviously someone got 365 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: signaled from upstairs or from New York and they went 366 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 1: and said, no, that was a double pass. And once 367 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: again a great momentum changing play because you convert on 368 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 1: third down and all of a sudden, it's all right, 369 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: we're punting the football back to the Seahawks. So but 370 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: this DeAndre Hopkins and Kyler Murray having miscommunications in Week nine, 371 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: it's especially if their defense is not doing anything differently, 372 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 1: and Cliff told you post game that there was not 373 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,719 Speaker 1: much yet you're only targeting Hopkins five times in the 374 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: entire game after the past two weeks him and getting 375 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: double digit targets. I mean, think of their debut way 376 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty at the forty nine Ers in 377 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 1: an empty stadium, de hop Heads fourteen catches on sixteen targets. So, 378 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: I mean, the first game they ever played together. So 379 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 1: I'm not really buying necessarily the communication issues. It's just 380 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: as Kyler said, let's just cut to the it's bad ball, 381 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: it's bad football. It's not winning football. And I don't 382 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: think it's as easy as communication. And no, it goes 383 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: beyond that. Now, what it is I'm not here with 384 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: the answers. If I had the answers, i'd have a 385 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: corner office problem is I don't know if anybody necessarily 386 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: has a specific or definitive answer or less, and it 387 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: would be implemented already if they did. And it's not 388 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: just the offense. The defense has had its hiccups as well. 389 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: As we look at what did not go well defensively 390 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: on Sunday here on Cardinals Covered two presented by Hunday 391 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: probably partner of the Arizona Cardinals. Yes, the defense did 392 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: get another takeaways Avon Collins with the pick six, just 393 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 1: an unbelievable play getting that ball, stepping into the passing 394 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 1: lane and taking a thirty yards to give the Cardinals 395 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: again another lead, fourteen to ten early in the third quarter. 396 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: But it's the next three times the defense took the 397 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: field touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, thirteen plays, thirteen plays, five plays, 398 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: the inability to get the Seahawks off the field, especially 399 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: on third down those first two scoring drives, Paul, the 400 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: Seahawks went seven of seven on third down and the 401 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: defense didn't even get to a third down on that 402 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: last scoring drive that made it twenty one. What's amazing 403 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,360 Speaker 1: is after the Zavan Collins pick six, it says here 404 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 1: according to the analytics hashtag no math, that the Cardinals 405 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: win probability increased from thirty five percent two sixty five 406 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: percent as a result of that play. Now, there's still 407 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: plenty of game left to play, and as we saw, 408 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:38,239 Speaker 1: the defense caved at critical times. And when you talk 409 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: about drops in this game, it's not just Robbie Anderson's 410 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: Cardinal's defense, it's Byron Murphy, it's Tanner Vallejo. Critical drops 411 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 1: in the red zone it could have changed the game, 412 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: that would have kept touchdowns off the board, because what 413 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: did Geno Smith do in both cases on a third 414 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: down or critical third down? He came through And it's 415 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: most critical mistake, some critical situations by the Airs on 416 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: the Cardinals that are costing them games. That's NFL football. 417 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: You can be as close as you wanted on the scoreboard. 418 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: Guess what, it doesn't matter because every game virtually is 419 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: close enough that a few plays will dictate the outcome 420 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 1: of the game. Seattle made those plays unbelievable plays by 421 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 1: Geno Smith and company to execute, and when the Cardinals 422 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: had their chances, it was a drop on defense so 423 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 1: not to mention that there were too often too many 424 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: running backs, whether it was Kenneth Walker, whether it was 425 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: other short receptions and runs, that there was just too 426 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: much space at times. And I'm not necessarily buying that 427 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: the Cardinals were just worn down physically and perhaps exhausted, 428 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,199 Speaker 1: although I get it time of possession favored Seattle something fierce. 429 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 1: You know, there's also something called football IQ, and the 430 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 1: Cardinals have struggled with that. Some of those young players 431 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: being in the right spot at the right time on defense, 432 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: and if you're a good quarterback and going through your 433 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: progressions and your reads, too often there have been too 434 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: many guys too open as a result of those mental 435 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: breakdowns on defense. The Noah fifty one yard catch and run, 436 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,479 Speaker 1: that was a play the Seahawks had ran before, several 437 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: times before, and every single time, he's coming across the 438 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and there is wide open space when 439 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 1: he catches the football, and then you have someone trailing, 440 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: whether it's an Isaiah Simmons or Tanner Vallejo. And then 441 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 1: just the number of miss tackles once again, not wrapping 442 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: up players, not wrapping up Kenneth Walker. So equal blame 443 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: to go around, but the dropped third down play by 444 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson and then the two drops potential interceptions by 445 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,360 Speaker 1: the defense, and we're talking completely about a different outcome 446 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 1: and now new life for this Cardinals here this season. 447 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: Think about it. Seattle's offense four hundred twenty one total yards, yawn, 448 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily care about that. I really don't. In 449 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 1: today's NFL total yards, doesn't I say move the meter? 450 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: What does move the meter? Red zone and third down? 451 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: Seattle was ten to fifteen on third down. They completed 452 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: seven in a row. At one point they're like seven 453 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: or last seven, and then in the red zone they 454 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: were perfect. In fact, the Vikings and Seahawks have been 455 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: perfect the last two games. Nine trips into the red zone, 456 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: nine touchdowns, and so guess what you can't survive as 457 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: a defense if that's the case. How many times Advance 458 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: Joseph on a Thursday told the medium, Yeah, we got 459 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: to try and stop the run. After that, it's third 460 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 1: down in red zone, and so guess what, you can't 461 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: check any of those boxes in this game. When Kenneth 462 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: Walker goes out there and he has one hundred nine 463 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: yards rushing over four yards of carry. Gino Smith was 464 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,919 Speaker 1: a problem over six yards of carry, and they ran 465 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: a thirty four times or a buck fifty eight four 466 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: point six yards of carry. You can't check run defense, 467 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: you can't check third down, you can't check red zone. 468 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: So I respect with the defense has done. And they 469 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 1: had that stretch of four straight games where opponents had 470 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: twenty points or fewer. But the last couple of games 471 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: have not been good enough. Three straight games now that 472 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: defense has allowed better than thirty points. But to your point, 473 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: the totally number of yards Vans brought it up a 474 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,719 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. He doesn't care. You can go 475 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 1: from the twenty to the twenty and that's easy, then 476 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you need to make it more 477 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: difficult for your opponent to go those last twenty yards. 478 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: And to your point, the last week against the Vikings 479 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 1: Sunday against the Seahawks, Cardinals have made it too easy 480 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: to get into the end zone as far as getting 481 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: those red zone stops. Because you know, when Vans speaks 482 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: with the media this week, that's what he's going to 483 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 1: point to. He's going to point to the inability to 484 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 1: the defense to get off the field on third down 485 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: and to keep the Seahawks and or the Vikings out 486 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: of the end zone. Because as number of times as 487 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: the defense does get off the field, how they're finishing 488 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: these games not being able to give the offense another opportunity. Yeah, 489 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 1: the offense needs to do its job. But that complimentary football. 490 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: It's cliche, Paul, but we've seen it a couple of 491 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: times this season. But you need to help each other out. 492 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: And the Cardinals aren't doing that. They're playing two different 493 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: games as far as what the offense is doing and 494 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: what the defense is doing. Honestly, Kelvsa insulting considering how 495 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons says, look the last couple of weeks, getting 496 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 1: to the quarterback and really being dynamic. I would unleash 497 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 1: him off the edge even more a Byron Murphy, Marco 498 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 1: Wilson and Antonio Hamilton's play man. Just match him up 499 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: and let it just unleash it. I'd send Isaiah Simmons. 500 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: I'd send Zavin Collins. I figure I'd get back to 501 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: maybe the advance ultra aggressive blitzing style of defense. And 502 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 1: now that your corners are healthy and capable, and I 503 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: try and live that way, just try and do more 504 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: to affect the quarterback. Matthew Stafford will hold onto the ball. 505 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 1: He's got an unbelievable arm talent. He's got almost as 506 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 1: many arm angles as Patrick Mahomes to get balls around 507 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: and through defenders. But I would go after Matthew Stafford, 508 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: who's not the fleetest of foot obviously, and just let 509 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: her rip. At this point, you're three and six, and 510 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: you know what, go down swinging if nothing else. Interesting 511 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: postgame comment from Kyler Murray And because everyone now wants 512 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: to go to your point, you're three and six, where 513 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: do you go to next outside of going to Los 514 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,959 Speaker 1: Angeles this week? And his words quote everyone's got to 515 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: evaluate themselves end quote. Was there a larger meaning within that? 516 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 1: Is he including himself within that comment? Because as we know, 517 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: Hard Knocks in season debuts on Wednesday. They are here 518 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: the duration of the regular season, hopefully into the postseason, 519 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: which does not look very good at the moment. But 520 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: there are a lot more eyeballs now on this team. 521 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: Paul in the locker room, in the meeting rooms, behind 522 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: the scenes, what are we going to see this week 523 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: and Wednesday? What are we going to see the following Wednesday? 524 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: Depending on what happens on against the Rams, because now, 525 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the stakes are always high in 526 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,479 Speaker 1: the National Football League, they just got a whole heck 527 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: of a lot higher with hard knocks in season. There's 528 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: no doubt we're all curious. Once again, I said it, 529 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: then I'll say it again. It was a football decision 530 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: to try and bring accountability, another layer of accountability, put 531 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: guy's name and face on it, and so we'll see 532 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: exactly what it looks like. The cameras are everywhere, they 533 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: are embedded behind the scenes, they are on the sidelines, 534 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: they have the boom mics. They're honing in on so much, 535 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 1: so much of what even when I'm down there, you 536 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: can't hear. So what exactly are they going to reveal? 537 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: What will it say about the culture of this team 538 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: behind the scenes? Are we going to find out a 539 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: lot of times in these shows you find out who's 540 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: really a team leader and who isn't. They might not 541 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: necessarily wear the sea, but their respect in that locker 542 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: room and they're the leader of teammates. So we'll see 543 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: if some of that comes through. But once again, you know, 544 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: the biggest opponent for the Cardinals is itself. That battle 545 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: against thyself, and so will that be revealed on this 546 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: episode of Hard Knocks? And you wonder, okay, in an 547 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: effort to show that something's being done, you wonder if 548 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: you know the decision makers might be a little more 549 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: aggressive in making some changes, both on the field and off. 550 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: I'll give you an example, Billy Price, the last two 551 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: games has not been good. Do you go back to 552 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: Sean Harlowe at center? Is that an upgrade? I don't know. 553 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: I'd be curious to see. But the offensive line between 554 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,959 Speaker 1: the false starts and some of the other errors, you 555 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: know what exactly who's going to be accountable for that 556 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: for example, and then you know the receivers and so 557 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: forth to you, what can you do in that regard? 558 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 1: So I'm curious, like anyone else, to see exactly what's revealed. 559 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: It's easy to say just bench this player, start that player, 560 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: move that player, but your have some there's just limited 561 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: number of options, especially at this level and the number 562 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: of players that are active on game day. Do you 563 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: go back to Sean Harlow as Rodney Hudson even an 564 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: option this week or next week? Because as much as 565 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,959 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins kind of moves the needle on that offense. 566 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: Rodney Hudson does as well, even though he hasn't played 567 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 1: like he's capable of playing. But he would just stabilize 568 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: a lot more on that offensive line. And you hate 569 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: to point to one thing when it's many things, but 570 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: that offensive line, if you can get healthy or healthy er, 571 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 1: I certainly would like where this team potentially could go 572 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: or at least look a lot better. You realize the 573 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: Cardinals have lost eleven of the last fifteen games. Think 574 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 1: about that. You're three and six, You lost five of 575 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: your last six to end last season. What's wrong? Are 576 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 1: we going to get an answer? Maybe on hard knocks? 577 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: What is plaguing this team ever since the ten and 578 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: two start? Is it within their ability to change it? 579 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: Is it truly a matter of focus and finish and 580 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: energy and moxie and all these intangible things. Is that 581 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: really what it comes down to, is there's something more 582 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: systemic that is leading. You know, you mentioned Vance Joseph 583 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: and there have been two somewhat philosophical statements he's made 584 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: in the last month. About a month ago, he said, 585 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 1: and I think he was talking about the young players 586 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: in particular. The process of winning in the NFL is 587 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: much harder than winning on game day. I think he 588 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: was speaking to especially the young guys who maybe weren't 589 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: preparing the right way. Maybe there wasn't enough being invested 590 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: during the game week Monday through Saturday before he got 591 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: to Sunday. Then there was another comment from Vance Joseph 592 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 1: this past week about how every side of the ball 593 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: has to evolve. That after a month of game film, 594 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: guess what, you have to start doing things differently. You 595 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: have to self scout, realize how teams are playing you, 596 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: the odds are they figured you out. You have to evolve. 597 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: You have to be a moving target. There are the 598 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: Cardinals doing enough of that on offense? Is that the 599 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator's way of saying that, guess what? You know? 600 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: Maybe the opponents aren't seen enough evolution of the Cardinals 601 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: offense when he got to ten and two. Did it 602 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: become too predictable down the stretch of last year? And 603 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 1: have they picked up where they left off? This is 604 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: just me thinking out loud, reading between the lines, perhaps 605 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: reading too much into Advance Joseph press conference, but as 606 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: a guy who was a head coach and has his 607 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: finger on every facet of the operation beyond the defense, 608 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: and you see him have extended conversations with a lot 609 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: of different players on this team. A lot of offensive 610 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: players go to Vance Joseph and talk to him, and 611 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: they should What are you seeing on offense? What do 612 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 1: we need to do differently? So I'm curious if there's 613 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 1: something to that and if we will get more evidence 614 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: of that behind the scenes. On hard Knocks Cardinals three 615 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: and six oh and three in the Division. They've got 616 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: a game coming up against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, 617 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 1: the first time back at SOFI Stadium since the wild 618 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: card loss, in which the offense did not look good. 619 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: Kyle Murray had arguably his worst game of his career 620 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: at any level. Now you're going back to that stadium 621 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: against that opponent, against that number ninety nine. Yeah, I 622 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: say it could always get worse, Paul. I hate to 623 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 1: think what potentially could be worse when we're sitting here 624 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,839 Speaker 1: on this Monday after a thirty one twenty one loss 625 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: to the Seahawks. Yeah, the Kyler picks six he threw 626 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 1: at his own goal line, that stands out. The Buddha 627 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: Baker injury, that flashes in my mind how serious that was. 628 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 1: In the moment, and I'll scared that sideline was for 629 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,879 Speaker 1: team captain and one of the most beloved Arizona Cardinals ever. 630 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: I'll say it, Buddha Baker. Look at what just the 631 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,359 Speaker 1: fact Buddha Baker was your leading tackler again, right? And 632 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: I asked him and Collins that question, by the way, 633 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 1: when Buddha Baker is your leading tackler, is that a 634 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: good or bad thing? And he said, it depends depends 635 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,240 Speaker 1: on what the safety is asked to do within each 636 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: game plan. But you can't tell me that when Buddha 637 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: Baker is head and shoulders, you're leading tackler in two 638 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:11,319 Speaker 1: straight games, that just any defensive system, it should be 639 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 1: those inside linebackers, you would think if you're playing it correctly. Now, 640 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: Zamon Collins has been on the edge quite a bit 641 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 1: as well, so that's sort of a moving target in 642 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 1: terms of personnel. And then the third takeaway from the 643 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,760 Speaker 1: playoff game in LA was the very end in complete 644 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: garbage time and hey, Paul and I turned around and 645 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,399 Speaker 1: down near the goal line in one of those luxurious 646 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: palatial field level boxes was Matt Liner, former Cardinals quarterback, 647 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 1: over there with his son is fifteen year old who's 648 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 1: about as tall as he's He's about as tall as 649 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 1: Matt and he's a big time quarterback prospect in southern California. 650 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: So Cole was there. Cole stood up and I'm looking 651 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 1: straight up and I'm like, oh my goodness, it's been 652 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: a long time since I've seen the Liner family. So 653 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 1: that tells you all a playoff game win. When that's 654 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: one of my top three takeaways, I'll leave it there. Well, 655 00:35:58,160 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 1: make sure you give Matt our best when you see 656 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: him on this Sunday, And I like, I like story 657 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 1: time with Paul Calvesa to keep things light here on 658 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: a disappointing, gloomy Monday, although the sun did come up 659 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 1: here on this Monday, November seventh.
