Speaker 1: the NFC West Squared tonight. As here on the original
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football, We're talking Cardinals Niners on the Big
Speaker 1: Red Ray presented by santan Ford and Gilbert with a
Speaker 1: very special guest for a reel. Here in a minute
Speaker 1: in Seattle, Ron Wolfley, the Seahawks are hosting the Rams
Speaker 1: and behind the mic on a national radio call, Moonlighting
Speaker 1: your partner of many years voice of the Cardinals day
Speaker 1: Pass in Seattle as we speak, really Dave, really, I
Speaker 1: mean as a guy over here with an eye at
Speaker 1: the end of his name, who's going to devour some
Speaker 1: homemade pasta after we're done. As they say in the mafia.
Speaker 1: For that, we do not forgive. And that is my
Speaker 1: message of day Pass tonight, as we'll see exactly how
Speaker 1: that goes between the Seahawks and the Rams. Very very
Speaker 1: interesting right now, PAULI, because too high power offenses of course,
Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson and then Matthew Stafford in the Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams, and it's zero zero right now. They've traded picks.
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford actually threw a pick into the end zone,
Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden, Russell Wilson has obliged
Speaker 1: as well, just throwing a pick right now, Paulie, who
Speaker 1: knows what's going to happen. Well, Russell Wilson leads the
Speaker 1: NFL and passer rating a buck thirty, and if he
Speaker 1: doesn't play to that level every single game, Seattle is
Speaker 1: gonna lose. That's what I have to say. I still
Speaker 1: take the Rams and I'll give six in this one round. Hopefully.
Speaker 1: So that's my pick here tonight as the Rams do respond.
Speaker 1: I think McBay is like three to one on Thursday nights.
Speaker 1: But you know what, last we saw the Rams. Their
Speaker 1: fans were leaving in the middle of the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: It was thirty seven to thirteen, and the Cardinals players
Speaker 1: are on the sidelines and they were giving it to
Speaker 1: the Rams fans. Where are you going the game's not over? Well,
Speaker 1: guess what it was over. It was thirty seven to thirteen.
Speaker 1: It was beat down LA and they had to go
Speaker 1: out there like Dodger fans in the seventh inning and
Speaker 1: just be traffic because it was over. No, you're right, Pally,
Speaker 1: it was over. What a game that was for the
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals right now to be four no, the only
Speaker 1: undefeated team of course in the National Football League, and
Speaker 1: to beat the team at that point in time that
Speaker 1: I thought was the best team, not in the NFC West,
Speaker 1: but the best team in the National Football League period,
Speaker 1: and just coming off a victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
Speaker 1: of course, a steady solid victory over the Bucks and
Speaker 1: their offense, their defense clicking on all cylinders for the
Speaker 1: most part. But there was one little hanging Chad when
Speaker 1: you watched the Rams on tape, and that was the
Speaker 1: fact that defense, their defense were giving up. Their defense
Speaker 1: was i should say, giving up a lot of yards
Speaker 1: out of the field in between the twenties polli and
Speaker 1: then they would jump you. While we saw the Arizona
Speaker 1: Cardinals move the ball, and we kind of had this
Speaker 1: feeling that we were going to be able to move
Speaker 1: the ball. But how well would we do in the
Speaker 1: red zone? That was the question and I had and
Speaker 1: sure enough, three or five in the red zone, and
Speaker 1: the Cardinals got to win the Sports Illustrated Power Bowl.
Speaker 1: This is a true no compreendo. The Rams beat the Buccaneers,
Speaker 1: then the Cardinals went to La and beat down the
Speaker 1: Rams dominated them. And yet the Rams are still number
Speaker 1: one at this point and the Sports Illustrated Power Bowl
Speaker 1: with the Bucks number two and the Cardinals are number five.
Speaker 1: It's just, I mean, just just stop, just just please stop.
Speaker 1: We don't have time to get into a rant on
Speaker 1: that front. Speak into the game and what the Cardinals
Speaker 1: did against the Rams and all the offensive numbers Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray after the game, Ron Wolfley, I want your thoughts
Speaker 1: on his comment here. There's game plan enough, you know,
Speaker 1: if I think you know personally that we've had since
Speaker 1: I've been in the league. So I was I was
Speaker 1: just confident man, just going out there, and Leonard Rod
Speaker 1: and the guys did the same. You know, I can't
Speaker 1: be more proud of them as far as being four,
Speaker 1: no trying to you know, go one on each and
Speaker 1: every week. Why would he say that after that game?
Speaker 1: I have two theories, but I hear what you think, well,
Speaker 1: PAULI maybe he was just trying to compliment his coach.
Speaker 1: Maybe he was just trying to be positive right there
Speaker 1: and compliment his coach and say, you know, I felt
Speaker 1: like it was the best game plan that we've had
Speaker 1: so far. Maybe was not trying to accentuate the fact
Speaker 1: that maybe the other game plans weren't as good. Maybe
Speaker 1: he was just trying to say, this was the best
Speaker 1: one and it was a big game, and I love
Speaker 1: the game plan, and I think coach did a great job.
Speaker 1: Maybe he was just trying to compliment Cliff Kingsbury on that. Maybe,
Speaker 1: And we're gonna ask Chase Edmonds because Chase Edmonds is
Speaker 1: a very special guest here tonight on the Big Red Rage,
Speaker 1: and obviously he's intimately involved with this offense and he
Speaker 1: knows Kyler very well, so we'll get his thoughts on
Speaker 1: this my theory. And it's twofold. Number one, what do
Speaker 1: you say after the Minnesota game when he said we
Speaker 1: need to move de Hop around and we just see
Speaker 1: a little bit more that against the Rams. Number two,
Speaker 1: Chase himself said after the game that Kyler had one
Speaker 1: designed run. One. Yeah, and we know Kyler considers his
Speaker 1: legs a luxury. Yes, he doesn't enjoy the design runs,
Speaker 1: so the fewer the better, perhaps hence his liking of
Speaker 1: that particular game play. So he was sending a Sicilian
Speaker 1: message to Cliff Kingsbury that were saved. BOLLI, then you
Speaker 1: know what, Hey, listen, I love this game. But listen,
Speaker 1: just tell me it's not the fact they actually put
Speaker 1: him under center eight times. Okay, Paul, tell me it
Speaker 1: wasn't that, because to me, that once again is the
Speaker 1: area of this offense that needs to continue to grow.
Speaker 1: Totally agreed. And the game before he was under center
Speaker 1: ten times, mostly mostly in the red zone. You know,
Speaker 1: James Connor loves it when he's under center. We talked
Speaker 1: to James Connor about that, so you know, look, Cardinals
Speaker 1: are fourn No, We're going to get into an offense
Speaker 1: that right now is defined tendencies. If you're the defensive
Speaker 1: coordinators in this division, what exactly are you trying to track?
Speaker 1: What are the trends when you have a half dozen
Speaker 1: guys between fifteen and twenty catches, for example, you have
Speaker 1: a balanced offense. It's just ran for two sixteen. For
Speaker 1: everything the Cardinals did against Raheem Morris. I say rhee
Speaker 1: Morris was driving home down the four or five after
Speaker 1: the game, just muttering to himself to sixteen to sixteen. Yeah, yeah, exactly, Polly,
Speaker 1: you know what you said. One of the best trends
Speaker 1: right now, it's Kyler Murray spreading the ball. And this
Speaker 1: is something we have seen, Polly, through the first four games.
Speaker 1: It wasn't it wasn't a quarter, it wasn't a half,
Speaker 1: it wasn't one game. It's four games that we have
Speaker 1: really seen Kyler Murray spread the ball right now, two
Speaker 1: different receivers. And I know DeAndre Hopkins wants the ball,
Speaker 1: and rightfully so, he wants the ball, but he understands,
Speaker 1: he must understand the only way that that is going
Speaker 1: to happen is to go ahead and beat teams, beat
Speaker 1: other defensive coordinators with the other receivers, with Aj Green,
Speaker 1: with Christian Kirk, with Rondale Moore, with other weapons, Max Williams.
Speaker 1: Go ahead and beat teams like that and show him
Speaker 1: that you can do that. And now all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: that's gonna free up d Hop more and more and
Speaker 1: more as defensive coordinators will pick their poison, so to speak,
Speaker 1: and take chances on the backside. What Cliff Kingsbury tell
Speaker 1: us this week on his weekly TV show Game Plan,
Speaker 1: that's the first time he's called a tight end screen.
Speaker 1: How many years? Yes, and the sideline loved the tight
Speaker 1: end screen. I'll tell you that much. Cardinals are four, No,
Speaker 1: first time since two thy twelve. But Kyler has been
Speaker 1: here and done that. As he told the media, I'm
Speaker 1: used to winning. That's that's what it is. This is
Speaker 1: not a new feeling for me. It feels right, you know,
Speaker 1: it feels normal. And to be back, you know, in
Speaker 1: a position where we go into each and every game
Speaker 1: confident that we will come out of Victoria's I mean,
Speaker 1: as it's a great feeling for sure. He walked into
Speaker 1: that stadium, he got on the Team Bus Wolf and
Speaker 1: I watched him. He's wearing his high school letterman's jacket,
Speaker 1: and his performance this season so far reminds me of
Speaker 1: what he did to high school defenses. He looks that dominant,
Speaker 1: his highlights look that unstoppable. He is clowning NFL players
Speaker 1: like they are high schoolers when he goes out. And
Speaker 1: his combination of being able to dissect a defense now
Speaker 1: and also run the ball when needed when it's third
Speaker 1: and sixteen and he runs for eighteen. I mean that
Speaker 1: stuff he did in high school when he went forty
Speaker 1: three and oh yeah, and especially too. You were talking
Speaker 1: about trends. I'm going to continue the best trends. I'm
Speaker 1: going to say number two. The running back room has
Speaker 1: been integral to the success of this offense. James Connor
Speaker 1: and Chase Edmonds have lit it up. Hey episode eleven
Speaker 1: in the Day Pash podcast featuring comedian Frank Calando. It
Speaker 1: is a must watch, must listen, available now wherever you
Speaker 1: get your podcast. We'll hear from Frank a little bit later,
Speaker 1: but up next Chase Edmonds on The Big Red Rage
Speaker 1: presented by Santan four in Gilbert. Let's start that off,
Speaker 1: as Bruce arians. Actually I'm talking about that at Murray
Speaker 1: and shot guns snapped the Kyler at a tiny little
Speaker 1: short set. See I did that short set a little
Speaker 1: bit now, throwing deep fire side and is pulled in
Speaker 1: into five yard hold on, I gotta grab myself a
Speaker 1: crown royal here. I have a little sippet debate, little
Speaker 1: sippet dippy that hoops new DIPPERU finished the call as
Speaker 1: Jack Nicholson, A J. Green just too strong, too big,
Speaker 1: too athletic. To Tracy Morgan, I want a great read
Speaker 1: by Kyler Murray to throw the ball. Say it is,
Speaker 1: Morgan Freeman, What a great read by Kyler Murray to
Speaker 1: throw the ball. You've got a scarecrow on a stick.
Speaker 1: Put it out there, let him go get it. Thanks
Speaker 1: exactly what a J. Green? Big? Can you do it?
Speaker 1: As Liam Neeson, want a great read by Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: to throw the ball. You've got a scarecrow on a stick,
Speaker 1: put it on there, let him go get it. That's
Speaker 1: exactly what a J. Green did. The uber talented Frank Caliendo,
Speaker 1: I mean just carrying this week's edition to the pash pod.
Speaker 1: Come on now, Dave, it's just adwater. I mean you
Speaker 1: just put a stamp on that thing, mailed it in.
Speaker 1: I mean, you just basically teed up Frank Caliendo and
Speaker 1: let him go. And you've got instant entertainment on the
Speaker 1: Pash podcast this week, Ron Wolfe, was that indeed your call?
Speaker 1: That he was reiterating their word for word? I think so,
Speaker 1: I think the scarecrow out of psychic. And since we've
Speaker 1: heard scarecrow on a stick about a million times this week,
Speaker 1: would you please explain what does that mean? Exactly? Polly?
Speaker 1: I don't understand this. I mean, don't you people in California.
Speaker 1: Don't have you ever seen a cornfield, Paul, what they
Speaker 1: do with a scarecrow? I mean, honestly, they go ahead
Speaker 1: and they stick him on a stick in the field.
Speaker 1: All right, So once again Dave Passes in Seattle calling
Speaker 1: a national radio call for this Thursday football game. Will
Speaker 1: consider it advanced scouting, okay for the Rams and Seahawks
Speaker 1: as the Cardinals get ready for the Niners. And we
Speaker 1: are joined by Chase Edmonds, who fashions himself as a
Speaker 1: bit of a personnel guy not only the NFL but
Speaker 1: the NBA. We know, we know your knowledge there, Chase,
Speaker 1: would you ever use the word scarecrow on a stick
Speaker 1: to describe a J. Green and your scattery park because
Speaker 1: that's how Wolf described him. And after that touchdown, catch Wolf,
Speaker 1: that's very creative. That would not have tame to mind
Speaker 1: for me. I'll tell you that. Hey, Chase, Man, how
Speaker 1: are you doing right now? How's the body feel? Here
Speaker 1: we go, we're going into game five? How's the body
Speaker 1: feel feel? Good? Man? I'm getting better, getting help your
Speaker 1: day by day. You know, it's gonna be real hopeful
Speaker 1: for Sunday, and I'm looking forward to playing obviously a
Speaker 1: very good team in the San Francisco forty nine and
Speaker 1: hopefully we can continue this good momentum we got going
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, like the word hopeful because you had
Speaker 1: that ice pack on you right on the shoulder and
Speaker 1: then you were DNP the last two days. So okay,
Speaker 1: all right, hopefully that's trending the right way. We know
Speaker 1: this season has trended the right way. When you go
Speaker 1: against the Rams in their house against ninety nine and
Speaker 1: company Aaron Donald and you put up sixteen that's in
Speaker 1: the rushing department, forty carries for two sixteen, Man, that
Speaker 1: must have put a smile on your face. On the
Speaker 1: flight home. It did, man, it really did. And obviously
Speaker 1: uh against the Rams, it mean it meant a lot
Speaker 1: more to it just because it had been a long
Speaker 1: time coming. But you know, I mean, we run two
Speaker 1: hundred yards. I'm pretty sure. I bet if you did
Speaker 1: a statistic for NFL teams that ran over two hundred
Speaker 1: yards or probably like a ninety percent win percentage. So
Speaker 1: it was really good day for us and the boys upfront?
Speaker 1: What is what is it like to be foreign? O Chase?
Speaker 1: Right now? You've been in that locker room before, you've
Speaker 1: experienced success early in the season, before, you've had a
Speaker 1: lot of disappointment as well. What is it like inside
Speaker 1: that locker room at fourign Oh? Man, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: what I think. Um College did a great job today.
Speaker 1: It was after practice. It wasn't today. I think it
Speaker 1: might have been our first practice on Wednesday, I believe um.
Speaker 1: You know, he just he brought the guys in after
Speaker 1: practice and he just you know, he reminded every one
Speaker 1: that this is expected, you know, and this is normally.
Speaker 1: We haven't really done anything yet. We still got a
Speaker 1: long long ways to go, and especially coming from k
Speaker 1: one man when he talks you know everyone listens. Brou
Speaker 1: a little quiet already, but he stepped up a lot
Speaker 1: of leadership wise and obviously where his played. But when
Speaker 1: he truly does address the team, you know everyone, he
Speaker 1: has everyone's attention. And it was powerful words from k
Speaker 1: I said it to us and letting guys know that
Speaker 1: you know, this is the expectation and we haven't done
Speaker 1: nothing yet. So we got a long ways to go, man,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna just continue to try and prove trying
Speaker 1: to go one to know, you know, the repercess four
Speaker 1: notes to the media, but to us, it's zero zero
Speaker 1: every single week, weekend, week out, find a way to winning. Hey,
Speaker 1: Chase Vemans, Cardinals running back joining us here on the
Speaker 1: big red rage and Chase, if you're still wether. I
Speaker 1: saw evidence of that leadership. It was week one. It
Speaker 1: was at Tennessee and there were a couple of mental
Speaker 1: errors and because they talked about it and names were named,
Speaker 1: I can pass along. It was DeAndre Hopkins and Rondel
Speaker 1: Moore and Kyle Murray did not hesitate to hold them
Speaker 1: accountable and quite frankly, are him out on the sideline.
Speaker 1: And I know he's done that with other guys. Since
Speaker 1: that is evidence of his evolution as a leader, is
Speaker 1: it not? It is? It is. And with that accountability, man,
Speaker 1: it just goes, it goes across the board. You know,
Speaker 1: we all hold each other accountable. There's no huge egos
Speaker 1: on his team, and that's that's really the great part
Speaker 1: about it. We can just hold each other accountable. Man.
Speaker 1: Nobody has the ego. We're all we all know that
Speaker 1: we're all trying to just win football games and be
Speaker 1: the best team that we can be, and we want
Speaker 1: the best out of each other. You go a lot longer, man,
Speaker 1: You can go a long ways, Broum. Just the accountability
Speaker 1: we have, the brotherhood that we have in that locker room,
Speaker 1: it's second to none in my opinions. Right now, Chase,
Speaker 1: you had sixteen touches in this game right now? Is
Speaker 1: that the most you've actually ever had as an Arizona Cardinal? Oh? No,
Speaker 1: so the most was actually again the game against Miami
Speaker 1: last year when Katie went down the week before. I
Speaker 1: believe I think I had like twenty eight touches. Didn't
Speaker 1: really too much with it. The Miami had a good game,
Speaker 1: good defensive plan, But I think I had like twenty
Speaker 1: eight touches that game. Okay, I'm sorry I don't remember that,
Speaker 1: but let me just tell you this, man, you looked
Speaker 1: really really good and I mean confident running the ball
Speaker 1: with the ball in your hands right now? How is
Speaker 1: it feeling? I appreciate that I say that one more
Speaker 1: time if I lost. You know what I'm saying. How
Speaker 1: is this offense feeling to you right now? Man? I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what I think we feel since I've been
Speaker 1: here with Cliff. Um, I think this is the high
Speaker 1: star confidence has been just because you know, we we
Speaker 1: got weapons everywhere, man, and we got guys that can
Speaker 1: take it to distance. We got guys that can make
Speaker 1: people miss. We got guys that with one on one
Speaker 1: outside and coverage. So right now we're very confident. Again,
Speaker 1: like I said, there's no ego in that room. We
Speaker 1: don't really care touches the ball. How many times we
Speaker 1: know that we can go to distance? And um, you know,
Speaker 1: we feel like we're going to a football game. You know,
Speaker 1: the defenses kind of have to say, Okay, they got
Speaker 1: picked their poison. Are they going to try to account
Speaker 1: for college legs and leave one in the secondary and
Speaker 1: we can kind of take advance in the past game,
Speaker 1: or are they gonna have a lighting box and then
Speaker 1: we can kind of take advantage of it in the
Speaker 1: run game right now? So, right now I feel like
Speaker 1: we're very well balanced as the offensive year. Why did
Speaker 1: Kyler call it the best game plan since he's been
Speaker 1: an Arizona Cardinal. What's your theory on that? Yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what. I think it was a really good
Speaker 1: game player just by Cliff. I think he did a
Speaker 1: good job of kind of seeing our matchups with the Rams,
Speaker 1: what they did well, what we did well, what they
Speaker 1: kind of struggled against, and kind of just looking at
Speaker 1: the matchups and really the game playing of the scheme,
Speaker 1: how we could take advantage of certain some things. I
Speaker 1: can think you kind of saw it on one play
Speaker 1: where you know, the Rams, the type of coverage that
Speaker 1: they played, they kind of always had the real lineback
Speaker 1: on the running back. You know, I got to do
Speaker 1: a better job bringing the ball down and help and
Speaker 1: caller up. But on the wheel route that I ran,
Speaker 1: there's a little game playing tweak like that. And then
Speaker 1: there was another game. I'm trying to think of the
Speaker 1: one call that we had that went't for distance. I
Speaker 1: think it was the d hop d have called back
Speaker 1: the corner route, I believe early on if I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 1: But that was a real that was a real schematic
Speaker 1: called by Cliff. And I think right now he's calling
Speaker 1: the best places in his life right now, he's all
Speaker 1: his confidence has got to be high as well. Obviously
Speaker 1: he's not gonna say that. He gonna, you know, tell
Speaker 1: he's still working hard and trying to become the best
Speaker 1: play caller that he is. But again, man, I think
Speaker 1: we're just gelling right now as one. We know we
Speaker 1: do well. We just find ways they continue to do it,
Speaker 1: all right, So Chase, Um, I'm gonna geek out a
Speaker 1: little bit right here. I thought it was eleven personnel,
Speaker 1: one back, one tight end, three wide receivers. You were
Speaker 1: in the shotgun with Kyler Murray and you said something,
Speaker 1: You motioned to him about something, and then you walked
Speaker 1: up into the line. You walked up into the line
Speaker 1: and you were saying something. At least it's it looked
Speaker 1: like you were saying something to the offensive lineman. Then
Speaker 1: you stepped back to Kyler and you looked at him
Speaker 1: and there was eye contact there. He snapped, he snapped
Speaker 1: the ball and you carried. Do you remember the player
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. What happened after the snap you got
Speaker 1: the ball on the carry was an inside run and
Speaker 1: I thought it looked like to me you called your
Speaker 1: own number. That I'll tell you what will uh if
Speaker 1: you ever if they ever had me and k one Mike,
Speaker 1: I mean we're talking every single play, so we literally
Speaker 1: are talking everything. You didn't call your own number. I
Speaker 1: did not call my owner. Mike. Hey, I wish I
Speaker 1: had that. I wish that was above my prayer, Gade,
Speaker 1: I wish my parent were you here. Is how much
Speaker 1: of a coach you are on the field. That's all
Speaker 1: we hear. And I thought, oh, I appreciate that. No
Speaker 1: your coaches say that about you. How about this man um? Yeah,
Speaker 1: how about the fourth down stop by the defense? You
Speaker 1: take over the fifth You had the fifty four yard
Speaker 1: run on third and seven at your own four? Was
Speaker 1: that a play that Kyler checked into? That was a
Speaker 1: play that K one checked into because I think we
Speaker 1: were originally going past because um it was third and seven,
Speaker 1: I believe yep, and the Rams bro the Rams had
Speaker 1: like a five man box for whatever reason, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure why, but they play this in like a five
Speaker 1: man box. And that's why I'm talking about where right
Speaker 1: now we're so well balanced, because again, some teams are
Speaker 1: gonna live and die with a five minut or a
Speaker 1: six man box against us and just count that they're
Speaker 1: big four can get it done. And I think that's
Speaker 1: when we really got to take advantage in the run
Speaker 1: game and it just eases everything out for the receivers
Speaker 1: on the outside. You know, I'll go out and say
Speaker 1: I think one through four we got the best receiving
Speaker 1: corner league. You know, we got four guys that truly
Speaker 1: can win one on one matchups, play in and play
Speaker 1: out inside and outside, and that's something that's something great
Speaker 1: to have right now. As the offense. Man, you know,
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of teams that have three and
Speaker 1: four dbs that are you know, well enough to really
Speaker 1: play on an island like that and play one on
Speaker 1: one matchups. So you know, again it's something that speaks
Speaker 1: pivotens to just say where we're right now as the offense. So, Jay,
Speaker 1: you are prolific as an offense right now. Where is
Speaker 1: the weakness of this offense? Where do you think you
Speaker 1: need to get better? Where can you get better? Because
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna nit pick yourself. And I'm not
Speaker 1: just talking about you, I'm talking about the offense overall, right,
Speaker 1: I think, um, every offensive unit is always going to
Speaker 1: tell you that you need to get better in the
Speaker 1: red zone. Um, I'm not sure what we went in
Speaker 1: the red zone last week. I feel like there or
Speaker 1: five Okay, So I mean we want to go at
Speaker 1: least eighty percent, you know, and then the other twenty
Speaker 1: percent be kicks. Make sure we're living our turnocause I
Speaker 1: know we had Joel turnovers to the game. We really
Speaker 1: feel like Wolf right now where we're at that as
Speaker 1: long as we don't turn the ball over, man, we
Speaker 1: have a good good chance of winning that football game.
Speaker 1: You know, Bar and Nune, this is what are the
Speaker 1: way our defense is playing right now. So it's the
Speaker 1: turnovers and I believe the red zone. If you can
Speaker 1: living your turnovers, you can score in the red zone.
Speaker 1: You know, Cancer, You'll be the hell of a football team. Well,
Speaker 1: speaking of liking chances, uh, Cliff Kingsbury has asked about
Speaker 1: that and he said, you know what, when we're running
Speaker 1: the ball a bunch, I like our chances. Here's the
Speaker 1: head coach anytime we rush twenty five plus times, we
Speaker 1: feel good about our chances. And that old line was
Speaker 1: coming off and holes and a running basically a great
Speaker 1: job protecting the ball and getting what they could get.
Speaker 1: The last drive to me, we didn't pass it one
Speaker 1: time and started on the inch line and to just
Speaker 1: run it whatever it was, ten straight plays and get
Speaker 1: it down there was That was a big time drive
Speaker 1: to finish the game. Yeah, no doubt. And uh, you know, coach,
Speaker 1: let me ask you. I mean, there are still people
Speaker 1: out there who call this an air raid offense. They
Speaker 1: couldn't be more wrong, could they, Chase. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: what they gets labeled as. And I think just because
Speaker 1: we're still spread out half the time so they can't
Speaker 1: get that labeled. But you know, again, we're not really
Speaker 1: worried about what the alfie world saying right now. We
Speaker 1: know when we run the football well, it's pretty successful
Speaker 1: and I think it kind of just gets that notion
Speaker 1: just because you know, coach Cliff k that's what he
Speaker 1: was doing in college, a whole bunch of tech. To
Speaker 1: be honest, what are you liking from James Connor right now?
Speaker 1: I love it, man. I'll tell you what that's that's
Speaker 1: big bro. He's a great guy. Getting to know James
Speaker 1: agatting close to James, I think that we just compliment
Speaker 1: each other so well, one two punchs going in. We
Speaker 1: both bringing something unique to the table and I think
Speaker 1: it gives as a good flow as an offensive unit
Speaker 1: right now. And last year again, obviously, I feel like
Speaker 1: our offensive struggles it was sometimes it felt like it
Speaker 1: was harder to get a third and one and a
Speaker 1: fourth and one as opposed to like a third and six,
Speaker 1: you know, which is just so weird to say. But
Speaker 1: James has just come in. Man. He's brought that physical,
Speaker 1: imposing and he imposes his will on the defense. He
Speaker 1: runs so hard, and he brings a different type of
Speaker 1: temple on a different type of styles to this offense
Speaker 1: that we definitely need, and I feel like that everyone
Speaker 1: needs in the National Football League, especially when it comes
Speaker 1: to four minute situations. Those got to have it plays
Speaker 1: where it's fourth and ones at the tyred zone and
Speaker 1: everything like that. So James Connor has four rushing touchdowns,
Speaker 1: Kyler has three, and that's the entirety of the Cardinals
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns this year seven total. That's number two in
Speaker 1: the NFL. But you've been saved by the music, Chase,
Speaker 1: because I was going to ask you your thoughts are
Speaker 1: not having a rushing touchdown yet, But once again you've
Speaker 1: been saved by that. I will say this Cardinals ran
Speaker 1: for two hundred plus obviously two sixteen. That's six times
Speaker 1: under Cliff Kingsbury, guys, and you know that matches the
Speaker 1: number of two hundred yard rushing games from two thousand
Speaker 1: and three through two eighteen. So for this whole air raid, Moniker,
Speaker 1: guess what there have been him some explosive running games
Speaker 1: by this Cardinals offense the last two plus years. We
Speaker 1: continue with Chase Edmonds here on the big Red Rage
Speaker 1: presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. We are Satan four,
Speaker 1: two receivers to the left and two to the right.
Speaker 1: Murrian shotgun standing in the end zone, takes the snap,
Speaker 1: the hands it up. Edmonds up in the middle. Oh
Speaker 1: my goodness, with a hole at the twenty at the
Speaker 1: thirty far side of the forty at midfield and all
Speaker 1: the way to the forty two yard line of the
Speaker 1: Rams that probably puts the Rams away. Wow, dagger dagger
Speaker 1: right there by. The Arizona Cardinals light up a little
Speaker 1: zone read and I mean it was wide open on
Speaker 1: the backside back breaker as that was part the highlight
Speaker 1: of a twelve play drive to end it eleven runs
Speaker 1: in a fuel goal. Welf, you're a big fan of
Speaker 1: that when you're just closing out a game with a
Speaker 1: big lead on the road at a division fold Cardinals
Speaker 1: win thirty seven twenty. And the guy responsible for that
Speaker 1: fifty four yard run, he had one hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: yards rushing in the game is our guest, Chase Edmonds. Chase,
Speaker 1: So as you said that Kyler called your number on
Speaker 1: that one. Is anyone calling you deuce? By the way,
Speaker 1: since you change your number. I remember you saying they
Speaker 1: used to call you duce when you wore two in college.
Speaker 1: But I don't really hear that catching on at all,
Speaker 1: not yet. Darn practice and everything like that around up facility,
Speaker 1: I do could call a duced by a couple of
Speaker 1: guys nice. We kind of just have nicknames around the
Speaker 1: whole team, So it's it's duced to some people. It's
Speaker 1: chasing others and these other names that I've gotten along
Speaker 1: the way. You're not only just say any other names?
Speaker 1: Is that in Chase? Right? Yeah? I'm not gonna say
Speaker 1: the other names more embarrassing, man, So I'm gonna keep
Speaker 1: that to the locker room. Well, Wolf, Remember when Christian
Speaker 1: Kirk told us during training camp on the Big Red
Speaker 1: Rage he had to bring Byron Murphy with him and
Speaker 1: Chase to La to work out because he can only
Speaker 1: handle so many of Chase's opinions. Yes, you had to
Speaker 1: bring another guy with us. So just full disclosure, Chase.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm said about you, just to let you
Speaker 1: know what's I get on the Chase. So I've got
Speaker 1: to ask you about the San Francisco forty nine Ers.
Speaker 1: I know you've you've watched an awful lot of tape
Speaker 1: on these guys. Right now, when you watch tape of
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers defense, tell me what you're seeing,
Speaker 1: um Elite from four, just what they had, um Bosa,
Speaker 1: Kin Law Armstead, You got D four also on the edge,
Speaker 1: I mean, those guys like topend their years back when
Speaker 1: we get to the quarterback, and obviously you've got a
Speaker 1: great linebacker and Fred Warnerman who can just diagnose plays
Speaker 1: and he's very good and coverage as well. So I
Speaker 1: think we got our hand school going in there. But
Speaker 1: I think, you know, we just got to do a
Speaker 1: good job again just establishing the run early, helping k
Speaker 1: one out. You don't want those guys attending their years back, man,
Speaker 1: that's when it's a long different type office they're going again.
Speaker 1: So I think establishing the run prodc should be the
Speaker 1: number one goal when you're playing in the San Francship
Speaker 1: before nine of my humble opinion. But we'll see what
Speaker 1: goes on when we play someday. A lot of guys
Speaker 1: after the game cited the week of practice, including Cliff Kingsbury,
Speaker 1: and it sounded like the Rams, being considered the best
Speaker 1: in the NFL going into the last week's game, got
Speaker 1: the best out of the Rows in our Cardinals. How
Speaker 1: have you like this week of practice and how scared
Speaker 1: are you there might be some up and downs like
Speaker 1: we saw a year ago. We I mean, it's it's
Speaker 1: the NFL, man, So I tell people all the time.
Speaker 1: You know, it's been weird because we actually experienced two
Speaker 1: kind of big time wins. We're against Tennessee and then
Speaker 1: against the Rams. But usually every game in the NFL
Speaker 1: is gonna be a close game, one possession game. You're
Speaker 1: gonna have highs and low as man, you're gonna hit
Speaker 1: a version. And I think that's what's so important about us.
Speaker 1: They even Q you know, it's not too many teams
Speaker 1: that they go a whole season man without hate University.
Speaker 1: It's gonna come for us at some point, and that's
Speaker 1: why I think it's important for us. It's really just
Speaker 1: to keep our head down now, listen to the noise,
Speaker 1: stay together, and just take it one the game at
Speaker 1: a time. So Chase, when you watch tape on this team,
Speaker 1: they like to close the middle of the field. It
Speaker 1: seems to me an awful lot right cover three. Do
Speaker 1: you see a lot of Cover three middle of the
Speaker 1: field clothes? You see man free as well, maybe some
Speaker 1: robber um, But it is all about the front four
Speaker 1: for the most part. Right. They let those guys get
Speaker 1: up the field and attack in a big time where
Speaker 1: I think they have maybe the best defensive line in
Speaker 1: the NFC West. Yeah, I mean you and b U
Speaker 1: s here A lot of people disagree with you on that. Well, Um,
Speaker 1: they have a really they have a really good front four. Man.
Speaker 1: They really like to get after it. I mean they
Speaker 1: get off that BOTHA and d Ford have in their
Speaker 1: ability to have been the edge is h in terms
Speaker 1: of duo man, I'm not sure, you know, like in
Speaker 1: terms of that finesse wise playing style, just getting around
Speaker 1: the edge and beating tacklest best in the NFL. They
Speaker 1: really do have a superior, superior get off and that's
Speaker 1: why I think that it's just going to be important
Speaker 1: for us to establish the run and help k one
Speaker 1: out so they're not really trying to pin their ears
Speaker 1: back and just going every single play and it'll help
Speaker 1: us out. Sorry, Russell Wilson leading the NFL and passer
Speaker 1: rating the first five drives against that Niners defense, they
Speaker 1: went three and out. So they we watched that drive, man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we watched. We watched that whole game. They definitely did.
Speaker 1: I think has had a really good game plan for them.
Speaker 1: So obviously, again that's something that we gotta go. We
Speaker 1: gotta still on the steal on the field to help
Speaker 1: our defense ouves. So let me ask, Chase Edmonds is
Speaker 1: our guest Cardinals running back. When a defensive coordinator looks
Speaker 1: at your offense now and he sees it, there are
Speaker 1: a half dozen receivers within fifteen and twenty catches, just
Speaker 1: the tendencies, it's real hard to diagnose tendencies when you're
Speaker 1: throwing and running the ball, and there's a whole variety
Speaker 1: of weapons. I would imagine it is it is man
Speaker 1: and I think that's that's going really good for us
Speaker 1: U I think right now personally, just at a non
Speaker 1: bos between, I think what the teams are probably staying
Speaker 1: against us right now. Um, going into the year, they
Speaker 1: probably said, okay, number ten, number one is not going
Speaker 1: to beat this, So they're probably trying to take away
Speaker 1: d hop um and kind of make us beat people
Speaker 1: one on one. And then that's why right now we're
Speaker 1: just we're seeing a lot of zone against it, just
Speaker 1: because teams are learning real fast that you can't really
Speaker 1: play man on man with us with the matches we have,
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. It's one of the reasons
Speaker 1: it seems like defensive coordinators now have shifted. After you
Speaker 1: guys beat the Blitz early in the season, it seems
Speaker 1: like they've shifted to playing more zone, trying to keep
Speaker 1: Kyler in the pocket. It's a tactic, oh for sure. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: your thoughts on that chase, Um, I mean, I think
Speaker 1: that's probably the logical thing to do, you know. Uh,
Speaker 1: But again I think we should just um and just
Speaker 1: find ways to drive the ball field. You know a
Speaker 1: lot of teams what they're gonna start doing to us
Speaker 1: to just get that approach you kind of ben, don't break,
Speaker 1: make everything, make everything in front of you, make the
Speaker 1: play in front of tack in front of you, and
Speaker 1: kind of wait for us to make a mistake. And
Speaker 1: that's why we were really harping a run out of
Speaker 1: red zone and not turning the ball over. But you
Speaker 1: know when when teams played like that and long drives happened,
Speaker 1: you're gonna get in the red zone one, especially when
Speaker 1: we moved to football, and then two, you just can't
Speaker 1: turn the ball over. Man, And I think I was
Speaker 1: going for us. Yeah, Cardinals are plus five in the
Speaker 1: turnover ratio, Niners are negative five. Wolf, how many career
Speaker 1: receptions did you have as in ten years? And ten years? Okay?
Speaker 1: Because I just want to say, Chase has twenty and
Speaker 1: four games and he might pass your career total on Sunday. Um, Chase,
Speaker 1: has this been under you? We've seen you before in
Speaker 1: the passing game. We've seen you score and housing against
Speaker 1: the Niners in the passing game. But I mean, can
Speaker 1: this continue? Do you like catching the ball on the backfield,
Speaker 1: and you think you'll continue to be a target the
Speaker 1: way defenses are approaching the Cardinals. I think I will,
Speaker 1: and I mean I love catching the ball at the backfield, man.
Speaker 1: I think just a personal goal for me this year
Speaker 1: was really to establish myself as one of the top
Speaker 1: tier back to the NFL, not feel that I can
Speaker 1: still do that. I love one get away from you.
Speaker 1: I got it. I got help Kyll out on that
Speaker 1: wheel route last week. But it's something I've been working
Speaker 1: on man a long time, especially in the AW season
Speaker 1: this past season, just because with the masses we have outside,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna really feast on linebackers inside. So it's
Speaker 1: something that me and Kyler kind of just gotta keep
Speaker 1: going and really try to get our chemistry going. You
Speaker 1: always jokingly tell k one every single day, every single
Speaker 1: day pract I just try to remind him. I'm like, bro,
Speaker 1: I want that breeze in Kamara connection. It was kind
Speaker 1: of like at one point twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen man
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, it didn't matter what route Kamara had, you know,
Speaker 1: it was kind of a safety blinking where doing that
Speaker 1: ball was a catching and the type of first down.
Speaker 1: That's kind of the connection I want to have with
Speaker 1: k One Chase. One of the things I absolutely love
Speaker 1: is the fact that Cliff is put in Kyler more
Speaker 1: under center than we've seen in the past. That, to
Speaker 1: me is the area of this offense Chase I think
Speaker 1: can really grow and expand. And when I say that,
Speaker 1: I think of you. I think of you with your
Speaker 1: toes at six and suddenly you're running the outside zone
Speaker 1: or the tackle zone is I call it, You're running
Speaker 1: the stretch play. If you will, you run that play really,
Speaker 1: really well? Would you like to get more opportunities doing it?
Speaker 1: You know it's crazy, Wolf. I hate to disagree with you, brother,
Speaker 1: but I might have to do it. Do it please? No?
Speaker 1: I love it me personally. I mean, obviously, I think
Speaker 1: I think outside zone does work better under center. You're
Speaker 1: right with that. But for me, the only reason I
Speaker 1: like getting the ball out of the guns sometimes is
Speaker 1: because what I've learned over my years just watching football
Speaker 1: and really playing it is that defenses changed one thing,
Speaker 1: and that's the ball. So I feel like the sooner
Speaker 1: I have the ball in my hands, the easier I
Speaker 1: can influence the defense, the easier I can influence the
Speaker 1: gaps to change the easier, influence linebackers to see me
Speaker 1: with my eyes. So that's the only reason I like
Speaker 1: getting the ball from Kyler out the shotgun a little more.
Speaker 1: But you're absolutely correct with that stretch stread his own.
Speaker 1: It's meant to be ran, understand it, just because with
Speaker 1: the angle of the running back and making this team
Speaker 1: like it's going down hole. I mean, it sets up
Speaker 1: the back door cut very very easy, and we almost
Speaker 1: broke one in chase. Not only that, man, it's also
Speaker 1: the play action that comes off it. Oh yeah, brutal.
Speaker 1: The play action that comes off that play well, you
Speaker 1: don't have to ask the old lineman twice to run
Speaker 1: the ball right, what they call it the pound game.
Speaker 1: Come off the ball and just take it to a defense.
Speaker 1: And if the Cardinals continue running the ball like this
Speaker 1: and the balanced offense, they're gonna have a real good
Speaker 1: shot of going five and oho and beyond. Here's justin
Speaker 1: pew On the mentality needed. We got to keep going
Speaker 1: into these games hungry. It's a mentality. It's how we practice,
Speaker 1: it's how we train, it's how we meet in the
Speaker 1: meeting rooms. That is what makes the team five and olo.
Speaker 1: We've got close calls. We could easily be sitting here
Speaker 1: at three and one and not be looking at that.
Speaker 1: So it's the mentality of how we're going to go
Speaker 1: into every practice, every meeting, everything that we do with
Speaker 1: the mentality that we're gonna win that day, and then
Speaker 1: it's going to carry ou True or false, Chase, your
Speaker 1: head coach has more of an edge this year. Oh
Speaker 1: for sure. True. Yeah. I mean, I don't know if
Speaker 1: quick gonna tell you that, but I see it in
Speaker 1: his eye. I see how he carries himself in practice.
Speaker 1: He definitely has an edge. Man, He's got a chip
Speaker 1: on my shoulder, and honestly, I'll feed off that. I
Speaker 1: don't know by everybody else, but I'm the type of
Speaker 1: guy rob a chip of my shoulder. I certainly do.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go into details on why I do,
Speaker 1: but so I feed off of that energy and that
Speaker 1: edge that Cliff has, man, and I think it's something
Speaker 1: that we need to keep going for the season. Chase, Man,
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, absolutely love having you on right here.
Speaker 1: And plus you've also solved one of the biggest questions
Speaker 1: I had about this game, whether or not you actually
Speaker 1: checked into your own play call. Yes, sir, no, not yet. No.
Speaker 1: I love that and I love the fact you disagreed
Speaker 1: with me. That is good stuff. Chase, Thank you man
Speaker 1: in a contract year. You're from Harrisburg, PA. Steve Kime,
Speaker 1: the GM is from Harrisburg, PA. You know, get it done.
Speaker 1: Let's get this thing done here and continue on because
Speaker 1: we love having you on. Chase, Thank you, appreciate it.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you. Thank you. There you go. Chase Edmonds,
Speaker 1: Cardinals leading receiver. Right now, what twenty grabs and fresh
Speaker 1: off Ron Wolfley a one hundred and twenty yard rushing
Speaker 1: effort at the Rams getting ready for the Niners. We'll
Speaker 1: talk more about the forty nine ers as we continue
Speaker 1: with the Big Red Rage presented by satan Ford and Gilbert.
Speaker 1: We are Santan Ford Robert Downey Junior. It's a fake
Speaker 1: handoff rolling right as Stafford looking back to the left,
Speaker 1: throwing the deep ball farside for Deshaun Jackson, and it's
Speaker 1: picked off inside the fifteen yard line. Alpaccino, it's Byron Murphy.
Speaker 1: He's tackled around the twelve Byron Murphy, the NFC Defensive
Speaker 1: Player of the Week. We had two picks last week.
Speaker 1: Gets one here on Stafford in the first quarter. Okay,
Speaker 1: so now this is Wolf talking to do it first
Speaker 1: as Wolf, Oh, Byron Murphy baite Matthew Stafford to throw
Speaker 1: that ball and then broke on the ball on an
Speaker 1: unbelievable play from Byron Murphy and slowly starting to turn
Speaker 1: into Jesse the body Ventura all right and Basanonian all right,
Speaker 1: and then I have one line after that. Let's do
Speaker 1: that line of shack Man. Murphy's playing like a pro
Speaker 1: bowler the first month of the season. It's pretty good.
Speaker 1: The Pash podcast is really good featuring Frank Aliando. It
Speaker 1: is a can't miss. Wherever you get your podcast, you
Speaker 1: gotta dial it up. The only time you're not laughing
Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley is when you're just in awe Frank Aliando's talent.
Speaker 1: I mean it's just jaw dropping at time. This guy
Speaker 1: goes from person to person man without batting an eyeball.
Speaker 1: And then the most incredible thing about it is, if
Speaker 1: you're watching him, it's his face. He has the Manner
Speaker 1: ristles on his face. That's incredible. Yea. If you go
Speaker 1: to the Cardinals Twitter feed or asy Cardinals dot Com.
Speaker 1: You can see some of the videos they've paired up
Speaker 1: with his impressions. It is remarkable, there's no doubt about that.
Speaker 1: And look, you're gonna get a Niners team that has
Speaker 1: had a lot of different faces. If that's a segue.
Speaker 1: They're the first team Ron wolfully since the merger to
Speaker 1: have twelve different players score their first twelve touchdowns. Think
Speaker 1: about that. And now, man, now they're tracking to have
Speaker 1: a second starting quarterback now, even though Kyle Shanahan late
Speaker 1: this afternoon went on the flagship radio station in San
Speaker 1: Francisco and said, Jimmy G wants to give it a
Speaker 1: shot at practice tomorrow to see if he's able to
Speaker 1: push off and make throws with the injured calf. Can
Speaker 1: he protect himself? Jimmy G pronounced himself out a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks after the game. And here's the stat Jimmy
Speaker 1: G is likely to be Jimmy I R once again.
Speaker 1: And he has begun a season the NFL as a
Speaker 1: starting quarterback five times and it's now the fourth time
Speaker 1: he's been injured before the end of the fourth game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's brutal, right there, Polly, But honestly, right Now,
Speaker 1: this game, to me, is still about the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: It's still about the Arizona Cardinals, and it is still
Speaker 1: about protecting Kyler Murray. Listen, Demco Ryans's defensive coordinator, of
Speaker 1: course for the forty nine ers. He took over for
Speaker 1: Robert Sala. Right, he's got the same philosophy, a four
Speaker 1: three scheme that emphasizes cover three principles, three deep, four underneath,
Speaker 1: creating pressure with only four That's what he wants to do,
Speaker 1: and that's what he's gonna do against Kyler Murray, in
Speaker 1: my opinion, make him prove that he can throw the
Speaker 1: ball from the pocket. Demiko Ryans was a player like
Speaker 1: two years ago, wasn't he the linebacker inside linebacker? I
Speaker 1: think it was a little bit longer than that. But
Speaker 1: he's thirty seven years old right about now. Right, But
Speaker 1: he's a disciple of Robert cell and Robert Sala was
Speaker 1: a disciple of Pete Carroll. That's the kind of defense
Speaker 1: you're gonna see. You're gonna see man, You're gonna see
Speaker 1: a free safety in the middle of the field. You're
Speaker 1: gonna see Robert. But I think you're gonna see more
Speaker 1: zone than you're gonna see man, all right, So there
Speaker 1: you go. That's on the defensive side. Now, in terms
Speaker 1: of the Niners offense, the big question is who are
Speaker 1: you going to see at quarterback. If it's not Jimmy
Speaker 1: g then it'll be Trey Lance, their top draft pick
Speaker 1: where they traded three first round picks to draft the rookie.
Speaker 1: Here's Isaiah Simmons on the potential of facing a new
Speaker 1: rookie crewe Q. At the end of the day, they're
Speaker 1: not gonna reinvent the wheel based on having a new
Speaker 1: quarterback in. You know, teams are gonna run their better
Speaker 1: and better on what works, what the coaches believe works,
Speaker 1: what works with the other personnel. So there's differences dot
Speaker 1: com with new quarterbacks, but there's still a lot of
Speaker 1: carry over. But even Vance Joseph today, Wolf was pretty
Speaker 1: frank with the media, said his job's a lot easier
Speaker 1: if he only has to game plan from one quarterback,
Speaker 1: and it's a lot easier if he only has to
Speaker 1: game plan for a pocket quarterback versus a potential running
Speaker 1: quarterback like Trey Lance. So if nothing else, Kyle Shanahan
Speaker 1: has been successful this week making the Cardinals prepare for
Speaker 1: anything and everything based on two very different quarterbacks. No,
Speaker 1: you're absolutely are you right about that, Paulie? Listen to
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers offense with Trey Lance is going to
Speaker 1: represent the biggest trend in the football universe that is
Speaker 1: happening right now. It's the blending of the old schemes
Speaker 1: with the new schemes. Why wouldn't you do both, Polly,
Speaker 1: You know why? Why wouldn't you try to be capable
Speaker 1: of doing it all? Why are these philosophies dicotomists? That's
Speaker 1: my question, And this is all going away to be
Speaker 1: a chameleon, to be capable of being whatever you need
Speaker 1: to be to be to defense. That seems to be
Speaker 1: the future. And it's the reason why the forty nine
Speaker 1: Ers moved up to number three to actually get Trey Lance,
Speaker 1: because Kyle Shanahan sees the future of the NFL and
Speaker 1: it's really the present that is going on right now.
Speaker 1: It is a blending of the old and the new.
Speaker 1: Jimmy g represents the old. Can I add to that?
Speaker 1: I think both those franchises saw the future in their
Speaker 1: own division of Kyler Murray. Polly, you might be right,
Speaker 1: and Wilson does a degree yes, and I think they
Speaker 1: both felt like, oh boy, where is this to vision trending?
Speaker 1: And it's getting away from us. And Kyler in his
Speaker 1: third year number one in the league in completion percentage
Speaker 1: and number two and passing yards per attempt, and he
Speaker 1: still has the legs. So if all of a sudden, okay,
Speaker 1: we better upgrade at the quarterback spot and look at
Speaker 1: what the Rams and Niners gave up basically three first
Speaker 1: round picks a piece to get their new quarterbacks. And
Speaker 1: so you can't tell me there was an urgency on
Speaker 1: behalf of those two franchises based on what they're seeing
Speaker 1: in the desert and they know where Kyler Murray is trending,
Speaker 1: and it's happening already. Here's the thing, what we've seen
Speaker 1: so far out of Trey Lance, and this is a
Speaker 1: big difference from Kyler Murray. His accuracy is not all there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's got to be a bit of a concern to
Speaker 1: Kyle Shannon. I get it, he only had seven snaps
Speaker 1: in the first three games and then he only played
Speaker 1: the second half. But man, he has been a radic
Speaker 1: so far throwing the ball. Yeah, no, you're right about that, Paulie.
Speaker 1: But again, This is a work in progress for the
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers with Trey Lance as their quarterback.
Speaker 1: But you know that's the guy they want, that's the
Speaker 1: guy they want to play right now. And for me,
Speaker 1: I think this is something that Kyle Shanahan has been
Speaker 1: waiting for Jimmy g to go down. I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to disparage Jimmy Ge in any way, shape or form,
Speaker 1: but we're gonna see it. We're gonna see the blending
Speaker 1: here of the old and the new. It's not gonna
Speaker 1: look like the forty nine ers with just twenty one personnel.
Speaker 1: We're gonna see an awful lot of shotgun as well.
Speaker 1: We're gonna see the new age combined with that old
Speaker 1: traditional offense. So if you're heavy in the box, you
Speaker 1: know what you got a week secondary, Well, we'll just
Speaker 1: go ahead and we'll use the new aage. If you're
Speaker 1: light in the box, we'll line up in twenty one
Speaker 1: personnel and hammer you. Hey. As long as we don't
Speaker 1: see CJ. Bethard. CJ. Bethard in Week sixteen last year,
Speaker 1: who beat the arrows on the Cardinals? I mean, why
Speaker 1: would you bring that up? Right? Now, let's sleep. We're
Speaker 1: on a roll. Like what you can have happened is
Speaker 1: what happened in Week sixteen. It wasn't just a CJ. Bethard.
Speaker 1: Is a fact that Niners came out and that Kyle
Speaker 1: Shanahan offense, which last year led the league in pre
Speaker 1: snap motions, did they not? And they messed with the
Speaker 1: Cardinal's eyes on defense and all of a sudden gap
Speaker 1: integrity wasn't there. And the Niners, with a third string
Speaker 1: running back by the name of Jeff Wilson, ran for
Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty seven yards. And where are the
Speaker 1: Cardinals right now when it comes to yards per carry
Speaker 1: thirty first in the NFL and run defense yards per carry?
Speaker 1: So if the Niners have one shot beating the Cardinals
Speaker 1: in their building this Sunday, it's if they run the ball,
Speaker 1: and that's a Kyle Shanahan's specialty. They gotta get to
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray with that four man rush. They gotta get
Speaker 1: to Kyler ear They're doomed, speaking of running the ball
