00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: I trust Halloween treated your respective households. Well. I don't

14
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: see any candy in front of you, but I'm guessing

15
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: you did your fatherly duty and check the candy and

16
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: stole everything from your kids. Correct, just the good ones.

17
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: They can keep the candy, corn and all that other crap.

18
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: But I took all the good candy bars. Yeah, I

19
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: mean Luckily my kids don't like almond Joyce, and I

20
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: was like, what's wrong with you? I love them? Yeah,

21
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: I know, that's why I clean up on those ones.

22
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: Butterfingers all the good stuff that they don't want. Yeah,

23
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: and the daddy taxes reel in our house. I like that. Daddy.

24
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: I can have to use that, Can I do? I

25
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: have permission to steal that from sure? Yeah, I mean

26
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: I didn't originate it, so all right, I will steal

27
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: that from you. By the ways, we h the Halloween

28
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: theme a little bit more trick than treat for the

29
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: Cardinals in Minnesota as they lose the Vikings thirty four

30
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: twenty six. The Cardinals did put themselves in position to win,

31
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: they took themselves out of position to win as well.

32
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: Before we get some big picture thoughts about we hear

33
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: from the head coach Cliff Kingsbury postgame on what we'll

34
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: stick out to him the most after that loss, just

35
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: some of the crucial situations um at the end, you know,

36
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: the two minute drop not being able to convert there,

37
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: we get the crackback block, which you know that that's

38
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: an emphasis year. We just can't do that. Get a

39
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: fifteen year opiniony in that that situation, and then we

40
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: just got to be more efficient coaches and players getting

41
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: the plays in and not burning time outs always comes

42
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: down to a handful of plays drew, but there just

43
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: seemed to be more plays that were not made or

44
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: missed on Sunday against the Vikings. Yeah, I mean, unfortunately,

45
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: it comes down to a two minute drive a lot, right,

46
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: and also what you do it to the end a half,

47
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: and they did a nice job of that, but to

48
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: end the game, you have to stay on schedule. You've

49
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: got to be able to do these things. And I

50
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: think sometimes some of your greatest assets can to play

51
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: against you. And what Kyle of scram went around. You're

52
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: doing all these things and you don't really know what

53
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: to do or you're in a bad position. You get

54
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: caught off guard, like you know Benjamin did. And it's

55
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: unfortunate because they were driving, they were doing all these things.

56
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of going back and trying to

57
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: correct some of these mistakes. But on the opposite side,

58
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, Minnesota is exactly what they needed to do.

59
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: They limited their turnovers. Kirk Cousins does not get enough

60
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: credit for being able to get rid of the football

61
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: and remain a pastor to the last possible second. Sometimes

62
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: these younger quarterbacks, even on this team, I would argue

63
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: that he pulls it down too quickly as opposed to

64
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: remaining a pastor and getting the ball and playmaker's hands

65
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: being able to do all these things, and Kurt Cousins

66
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: just kind of flies under the radar. He didn't, you know,

67
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: he got sacked a couple of times just because of

68
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: tremendous plays, but he also negated a ton of sacks.

69
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: He stayed on schedule. He did a tremendous job of

70
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: putting them in a position to win football game, and

71
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: they came with a win. And that first possession, Kyle,

72
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: when you looked at the Cousins seventeen yard touchdown round

73
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: he was not a runner. He was in that pocket

74
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: for quite a while and then scrambled and still was

75
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: able to find the end zone despite the Cardinals defense

76
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: pursuing him well. That play and really throughout the first half,

77
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: the run game was so leaky, and it wasn't just

78
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: one issue. It was nobody was setting a hard edge,

79
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: nobody was keeping the running backs inside, and then there

80
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: was some gay holes up the middle as well. You

81
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: look at you know, this team. You know, on top

82
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: of some of the concerning things that popped up. You know,

83
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: up to this point, this team had played pretty turnover

84
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: free and played clean football with very few penalties. And

85
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: both of them were a huge factor in this game.

86
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: But they've also been up ben but don't break. But

87
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: you know, giving up five for five touchdowns in the

88
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: red zone, they were a break in break defense. I mean,

89
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: the both of the runs, touchdown runs, both Madison and

90
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: Cook were right up the gut with plenty of space.

91
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it just seemed like we were playing with

92
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: nine guys on defense for a lot of that game.

93
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: One hundred and seventy three rushing yards allowed by the

94
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: Cardinals defense. That's a season high. Dalvin Cook accounted for

95
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: one hundred and eleven of those yards plus the touchdown. Again,

96
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: Cardinals lose in Minnesota thirty four to twenty six. Defense leaky,

97
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: but everyone pointing to the offense. It was a big

98
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: topic of conversation Kyle on Cardinal Talk. But let's get

99
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: Drew Stanton's thoughts on once again this team with the

100
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: play clock ticking down inside of ten, inside of five

101
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: and a timeout needing to be burned, whether it's the

102
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: call from the sideline or the quarterback taking too much

103
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: time either in the huddle or relaying the play to

104
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: the rest of his teammates. Yeah, I mean, I think

105
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: it's the whole operation, which is an easy cop up.

106
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, we would even

107
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: have a call as a quarterback. We're here. If there's

108
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: a shift or emotion or something, you break the huddle

109
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: and you the first thing you do is you check

110
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: that play clock. You see what's going on, and you

111
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: might yell get in it, get it, get it, so

112
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: you just automatically go you gotta get up and said,

113
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: this has to be a sense of urgency, and that

114
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: comes down to the players. Now, sometimes it might be

115
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: because the play is coming in too quickly, but if

116
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: you have enough time to get it off or anything

117
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: that's going on, you know, you should be able to

118
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: do that. That's on the players, and if it's not,

119
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: then I'm sure Cliff recognizes that because he is the

120
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: play caller and he's got to be able to do it.

121
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: I also contend it's hard to be able to be

122
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: the head coach and the play caller when you're wearing

123
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: both of those hats because there are situational things. I

124
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: know Jeff Rodgers is involved in that. But at the

125
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,559
Speaker 1: same time, when you're trying to do both of those

126
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: relay calls in and usually you have somebody in your

127
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: ear as the play caller saying okay, second and three here,

128
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: you know, so you know what you want to get to,

129
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: you can do that, and you can get your call sheet,

130
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: you can be able to do what you need to do.

131
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: But then it becomes on the quarterback of Santa Kay, guys,

132
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: we got to get up there, we got to do it.

133
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: And those valuable timeouts, right, and we don't know what's

134
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: going to happen, especially in the second half, right, You've

135
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: got to be so strategic and making sure you keep

136
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: those and the really good football teams they value all

137
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: three of those timeouts because that could come down to

138
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: being able to stop somebody under a two minute or

139
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: pass the two minute, or before a two minute. So

140
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: the strategicy changes drastically when when you lose at least

141
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: one or two and we've seen it over the course

142
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: of this season that that's really hurt them at times.

143
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: We've also saw for the first time this season, Kyla,

144
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: where the wristband on his non throwing forearm, and that

145
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: was supposed to help at least help things be a

146
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: little bit more smoother. It didn't work out that way.

147
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: But they're huddling for the first time. They're using a

148
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: wristband now on the quarterback, so there's all these new

149
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: things added to try to make things better. Well, the

150
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: wristband's imperative, right you can, as opposed to spitting out

151
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: an entire play call, you just say okay, flip twenty three.

152
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: But if you haven't done it, sometimes it's getting used

153
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: to doing that. I mean, we used to have these

154
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: wristband type of meetings the night before the game and

155
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: we'd have the call sheet and you say, okay, just

156
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: to make sure they're all matched up because sometimes I mean,

157
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: there was numerous times where Carson's finger would slip and

158
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, we're in a different formation and

159
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: be it's like, what's going on out there? What is this?

160
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: Or we'd have the wrong wristband. One time that happened,

161
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: and man, oh man, we started a game in Indianapolis

162
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: and we didn't we had the wrong wristbands, and that

163
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: quality control guy got cussed out, like nobody I've ever

164
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: seen before. Yes, the operational sometimes it's not just on

165
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: game days, the day's leading up to Sunday. Here's the

166
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: head catch, Cliff Kingsbury on once again battling the play clock,

167
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: trying to huddle with some of these new pieces, you know,

168
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: new o linemen, new receivers. There's some some nuances to

169
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: it that we got to get better at, and we'll

170
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: keep working through that process. Overall, though, Kyle, it's the

171
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: three turnovers, it's the ten penalties, it's the bats snap,

172
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: premature snap, however you want to define it. Billy Price

173
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: snapped the ball, Kyler Murray wasn't ready for the rest

174
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: of the offensive line wasn't ready for it. But those

175
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: little things keep adding up and you're on the wrong

176
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: end of a thirty four to twenty sixth decision. No,

177
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: you're exactly right, you know, minus two and the turnovers.

178
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: That's tough to overcome the National Football League. But you

179
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: know we've talked about this before. Not all penalties are

180
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: the same and not all turnovers are the same. I mean,

181
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: you start the game with a defensive all side could

182
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: be with a team that has tried to put an

183
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: emphasis on coming out fast, playing well in the first quarter,

184
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: you start the game with the penalty is deflating. You

185
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: come out of the half with back to back penalties.

186
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: You know, you have an opportunity to gain some momentum

187
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: with your offense starting the second half, and you're starting

188
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: backed up to your goal line with first and twenty

189
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 1: seven to start the second half, you know, and then

190
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of the turnovers. You know, there's

191
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: a lot of criticism on the defense, but the defense

192
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: gave up you know, a real short ye touchdowns on

193
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: a couple of those turnovers. So, um, you know it

194
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: was it was circumstances and when they happened, because you know,

195
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: other than the minus two turnovers, you look at the stats,

196
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings didn't dominate the Cardinals. They dominated the

197
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, but the Cardinals were competitive, made big

198
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: plays when they had to make plays, kept themselves alive

199
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: and gave themselves an opportunity. But it's just those crucial

200
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: mistakes that keep popping up at crucial moments in the game.

201
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: And sometimes you know it's it's for different reasons with

202
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 1: different people, but um, you know, at this point in

203
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: the season, you would hope that the execution would be

204
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: much smoother. Same things keep popping up with this team

205
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: eight games into the regular season. Kyler Murray on the

206
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 1: self inflicted nature of Sunday's loss. Sucks. Obviously, you know

207
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: it's losing that one man. Felt like, you know, self

208
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: inflicted again, you know, so it will be. It's a

209
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: good team. But felt like I felt like we played well,

210
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: just you know, a couple a couple of misshouse. Couple

211
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: of mistakes here cost us a lot of frustration. In

212
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: that locker room post game. You could hear it in

213
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: players voices as they addressed reporters. And again this team

214
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: right now three and five, two games under five hundred,

215
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 1: with three crucial games ahead coming up, all against the

216
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: NFC West, which we'll touch on a little bit later

217
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: on here on the Cardinals Red Sea report presented by

218
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: SIK your ticket to great seats. But again, the mistakes,

219
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: the issues that keep popping up had couch Cliff Kingsbury

220
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: asked about that as well. We gotta get better and

221
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: we know that, and it keeps wearing its head, these

222
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: these big death sits trying to overcome them. You can't

223
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: sustain that weekend and we go out and we got

224
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: to find a way to start faster and played a

225
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: higher level to begin the game. Sense of urgency. Certainly

226
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: he needs to pick up Drew, But it sounds like

227
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 1: from some of the postgame conversation, it's got to pick

228
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: up like now, like today, meeting the work that goes

229
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: into game day, whether it's getting your rehab, getting the

230
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: play the games, the playbook, and then practice Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,

231
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: you're walkthrough on set or whatever it is to get

232
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: ready for Sunday. Yeah. Well, I mean I think this

233
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: is a theme across the NFL. This isn't just this

234
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: team that's sitting there scratch on their heads and say, okay,

235
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: how can we figure this out? And this is a

236
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: very close league, right You're the margin of error is

237
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: so small, and it's not about playing well in spurts.

238
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: It's about playing well for fourth quarters or playing well

239
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: when you need to play your best football. They just

240
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: haven't done that yet. It doesn't mean that they can't.

241
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: You sit there and you try and find as theirs.

242
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: I think about to Buddha Baker earlier years saying everybody's

243
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: got to do a little bit more, and that means

244
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: different things for different people. That means being accountable to

245
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: your teammates. That means knowing what you need to do

246
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: to be a better version of yourself than you were

247
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: last week. And they have not done that yet. I mean,

248
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: you look at some of this veteran presence that they

249
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: have right now. That's also what's been disconcerted is it's

250
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: some of these veteran guys that you're relying on to

251
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: be able to do that and crucial moments aren't doing

252
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: what they should be doing. Or even more than that,

253
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: they're making the same mistake twice. That can't happen in

254
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: this league. Good football teams identify mistakes, they correct those mistakes,

255
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: and they don't let those same mistakes happen again. And unfortunately,

256
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: when you play against a good running football team and

257
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: you can capture the edge, as Kyle was talking about,

258
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: that's all an offense is trying to do. If you

259
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: can run outside, it opens up everything in that playbook

260
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: because now you're trying to put more men outside and

261
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: the internal portion of the run game becomes that much better.

262
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: And so anytime again, the first thing you do when

263
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: you want to know how defense plays is look who

264
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: the leading tacklers are. When Buddha Baker has eight tackles

265
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: and leads the team with ten total and then Jalen

266
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: Thompson has six solos. That's a long, long day for

267
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: this defense. And that's just the recipe for a team

268
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 1: that's not going to be sustainable or win football games.

269
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: And Isaiah Simmons as far as being your number three tackler,

270
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you got three in the secondary.

271
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: So it's you look at even everything that went wrong

272
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday, Kyle, the Cardinals again still offensively had three

273
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: school or drives or potential scoring drives to send that

274
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: game either in overtime or to win the ball game,

275
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: yet not being able to capitalize it. And I think

276
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: that's where you heard the frustration in a lot of

277
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: the players voices and even the head coach afterwards. Well,

278
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: you know, I think at this point with the record,

279
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 1: what you're looking for is some hope, and to Drew's point,

280
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: they're not. They're far from being out of it, but

281
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 1: let's be realistic. You know, they've got to play well

282
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: through this next stretch. Probably at worst they've got to

283
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: finish six and three, And when have they looked like

284
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: a six and three team this season. I mean they've

285
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,599
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is a fact, but I

286
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: would assume they've probably held the lead less than any

287
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: team in the NFL at this point in the season.

288
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: I mean, they keep lamenting slow starts, they keep lamenting

289
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: playing from behind, not being able to run their entire playbook,

290
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: and they just cannot either get or sustain a lead

291
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: and capitalize on a huge momentum, huge opportunity. I mean,

292
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: the you're you're exactly right. Look Minnesota, You look at

293
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: how they played, and you really can't point to, you know,

294
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: their mistakes that cost them other than maybe their penalties.

295
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: But somehow the Cardinals had so many opportunities late in

296
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 1: that game to make a play, to sustain a drive

297
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: tom to win this game or at least get back

298
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: into it and tie the game late, and they just

299
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: couldn't capitalize on those moments. I do not have the

300
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: official stat just case you're wondering as far as how

301
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: long the Cardinals have held a lead. They did hold

302
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: a lead for just over three minutes on Sunday. But yeah,

303
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: Kyle is exactly right. If they're not dead last, they're

304
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: pretty close to dead last as far as either time

305
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: with the lead or number of plays run with the lead. Well,

306
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: you don't have the stat right now. No, not right now? Yeah,

307
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: I mean wait till twelve, yeah, or if yeah, we'll

308
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: come back after the break, you'll go to your catalog.

309
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean that's part of it, right, is

310
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: being able to play with the lead. Cliffs talked about

311
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: it before of how much better any offense is when

312
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: you can play with the lead and how it opens

313
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: things up. But at the same time, it's about players

314
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: making plays and going out and doing that. Sometimes it's

315
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: the structure of the offense and within the framework of

316
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: that when they're playing good, they're playing complementary football that

317
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: even though that they were going on this two minute drive,

318
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: it never felt like the game was really in the

319
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: balance right for them to be able to say, Okay,

320
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna score a touchdown and get a two point conversion.

321
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: It just never felt the same as it did when

322
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: it was against the Raiders, where they just kind of

323
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: tipped the scales and it was no looking back. And

324
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: unfortunately that's the way that it's going to go. But

325
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: when there is a team that you're going to go

326
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: against on the other side, that doesn't beat themselves. It's

327
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: going to be hard because then you have to go

328
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: out and you have to execute, You have to go

329
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: win a football game as opposed to a team losing

330
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: a football game. And you know they're gonna have their

331
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: handsful again this week going up against the Seattle Seahawks

332
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: team that's done just that. Cardinals lost to the Seahawks

333
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: earlier in the season, So yeah, the rematch now Sunday

334
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: at State Farm Stadium, which we'll touch on as we

335
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: continue here on the Cardinals Red Tea Report. Cardinals in Minnesota,

336
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: they trailed at the end of the first quarter, trailed

337
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: at halftime, briefly held the lead, and the third quarter

338
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: seventeen fourd seen, but then back to back touchdowns by

339
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: the Vikings made a twenty eight seventeen of The Vikings

340
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: would go on to win thirty four twenty six thirteen

341
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: Vikings points off of three Cardinal turnovers, and we'll get

342
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: into that as we continue here on the Cardinals Red

352
00:16:49,720 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: seats here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. That to

353
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: Murray drops back to the goal line in trouble, just

354
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: hoists it deep middle of the field, got a man,

355
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: but it's underthrown. It picked off by Harrison Smith at

356
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: the forty. Here's the snap and the kick and it's

357
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: hammered toward the far side. Dorches under it and he

358
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: mumps the fun at the twenty five yard line and

359
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: I think Minnesota's got it the Vikings, dude, Minnesota ball

360
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: hurry back to pass. When the pucket drows deep middle,

361
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: it's behind the target and it's picked off, intercepted at

362
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: the thirty yard line on the far side for turning

363
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: it to the thirty five and tackled. Tameron Bynham was waiting.

364
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:43,479
Speaker 1: The ball was thrown behind the intended receiver. You mentioned

365
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 1: it earlier in the show coll As far as not

366
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: all turnovers are the same, Cardinals copped it up three

367
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: times two called the Murray interceptions and the muff phunt,

368
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: And not if you want to rank any of these turnovers,

369
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: but the underthrow on the deep ball to Robbie Anderson.

370
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: That was the first play after the Vikings had retaken

371
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: the league twenty one seventeen. So now all of a sudden,

372
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: the Vikings capitalized score and I got two touchdowns within

373
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: ninety seconds. To me, it was the muff punt by

374
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: Greg Dorge because you had pulled within two, the defensive

375
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: forced to three and out, and then all of a

376
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: sudden forcing the punt. You lose it because Dorch can't

377
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: hang onto it. Defensive got to go back out into

378
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: the field, defend a short field at the twenty five

379
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: yard line, and the Vikings go and score and put

380
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: the game away thirty four twenty six. So for me,

381
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: those for me, it's the Greg Dortch and nothing against

382
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: Greg Dorch. You've gotta be able to catch that ball,

383
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: but that one seemed to really tilt the game and

384
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: the Vikings favor. Yeah, you know, the other two are

385
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: either you know, a physical air by Kyler Murray on

386
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: the on the underthrow and perhaps in miscommunication on the

387
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: throat of zach Ertz. This one, it just can't happen.

388
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got to be able to secure the punts.

389
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: And look, you know we talked about this on this show.

390
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 1: There's no bigger Greg Dortch fan this building than probably me. So, UM,

391
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's unfortunate that it happened to him.

392
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: He's been a reliable player for this team, but cannot

393
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: happen in that situation. And as UM as a defender,

394
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: I can tell you, UM, you're riding an emotional high

395
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: of getting a crucial three and out, getting the ball

396
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: back for your offense, and then to have to go

397
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: right back on the field, UM, you know, with your

398
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: backs up to the end zone. UM. That's that's a

399
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: tough situation. It's it's deflating. UM. You know, I've taken

400
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: the field in those situations many times. UM, and you

401
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: take the field angry, You're mad at the situation, You're

402
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: mad at the offense, UM, because you know, for the

403
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: most part, when asked to step up, that's exactly what

404
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: the defense did. It's just you know, when you're forced

405
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: to go right back out there after celebrating, you know,

406
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: a big stop, it's it's tough, it's tough sledding, but um,

407
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: you know saying that, you know, that's what a good

408
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: defense does, those sudden change opportunities. A good defense steps

409
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: up and and and rises to the occasion and does

410
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,959
Speaker 1: it again. And the defense wasn't able to do it,

411
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: and Drew. We had not seeing this Cardinals team really

412
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: turned the ball over a lot the first seven games

413
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: of the regular season, just five turnovers, that was tied

414
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: for the second fewest, and all of a sudden in

415
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: one game, in one half, you cough it up three times. Yeah,

416
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: well again you're playing against the good football team. The

417
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: one on the punt return up that was tremendous effort, right,

418
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: he was trying to get back to the ball, but

419
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: those gunners were down the field laid it on. I

420
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: mean it was tremendous and there was a dog fight

421
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: for the ball. They just wanted it and got the football.

422
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: I think Kyler's first one that he threw, the interception

423
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: was a mental and physical mistake, which can't happen at

424
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: this point. You can't throw the ball and realize that

425
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: you're putting in a harm's way because if one guy

426
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: didn't pick that off, the other guy was going to

427
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: pick it off. And if that one didn't pick it off,

428
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: the third guy that was there, Patrick Peterson, might have

429
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: picked it off. That can't happen at crucial points in

430
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: the second half of the game. And then the other one,

431
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: I just chalked that up. That's a physical one, right,

432
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: That's a guy that you think that zach Ertz is

433
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: coming out at a certain angle and he kind of

434
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: comes out higher or flatter, and it just kind of

435
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: spooks you and it changes the trajectory of your throw.

436
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: That's just them not being on the same page. And again,

437
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: it's hard because we've seen Kyler make these throws. We

438
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: know he's capable of making those throws. But when there's

439
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: a slight hesitation because you see him break down and

440
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: come out a little bit differently, that's where it leads

441
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: to a turnover. And Arrant throws over the middle of

442
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: the field are typically gonna get picked off again. Three turnovers.

443
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: Vikings capitalized turn those three turnovers into thirteen points. Here's

444
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: head coach Cliff Kingsbury. That was it, you know, that

445
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: was the difference in the game. You can't have those

446
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: situations come up and when against a good team on

447
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: the road, which is unfortunate because we have been good

448
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: so far this year. Again, two turnovers by Kyler Murray,

449
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: who did have three touchdown passes, but it was the

450
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: two mistakes, the under throw to Robbie Anderson, the miscommunication

451
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: to Zach Ertz. Post game, here's Kyle the Murray asked

452
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 1: about those two picks. First one, I shouldn't even lead

453
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: a goal got hit. My second one just meet me

454
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: and Zach got me the same place. What's going on.

455
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: We've seen Kyle Murray perform well and we've seen Kyler

456
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: Murray perform not so well. This season. It's been an

457
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: up and down year for the Cardinals quarterback, on the

458
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: heels of a contract extension in the off season, and

459
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden Drew. Things get much more

460
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: magnified when you are the quarterback, because you'll get all

461
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: the credit, whether you deserve it or not, and you'll

462
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: get all of the blame whether you deserve it or not. Yeah. Well,

463
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: I mean Cliff talked about it earlier in one of

464
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: Hassan bites it's a work in progress because they didn't

465
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: have DeAndre to start the year, and then all of

466
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: a sudden you got Hollywood Brown, the un insert Robbie

467
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: Anderson into this. Rundell Moore was hurt. Okay, you think

468
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna have James Connor, You don't. Zach Ertz is

469
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: out there. You want to be able to find ways

470
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: to get the ball to him when you have all

471
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: these guys kind of in the same stratusphere as far

472
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: as you want them to make plays, but you don't

473
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: necessarily game plan to get them plays or you feel

474
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: good about guys. There was a really good rapport that

475
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: was being built between Kyler and Hollywood Brown, and then

476
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: he gets hurt. Luckily you have DeAndre Hopkins coming back.

477
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: I think it's still going to get figured out. The

478
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: run game is the biggest thing that they've got to

479
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 1: just make sure they do a good job of, and

480
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: I don't think it's sustainable to put it all on

481
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: Kyler shoulders. You know, has proven that he can do stuff. Hopefully,

482
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: James Connor, you're gonna get Darryl Williams and be able

483
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: to get a more conservative effort and rolling guys through

484
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: and really establish that that's what's going to allow Kyler

485
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: to play well. And again, this offensive line's banged up.

486
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: I point to one guy. As soon as Justin p

487
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: went out, I was like, man, this has gonna bad

488
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: sign for this offense because when he wasn't in there,

489
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: they weren't playing great. He was in there, a veteran presence,

490
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: a guy that knew what he was doing, played really well.

491
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: They were able to cover some of the stuff up

492
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: with Rodney Hudson because Billy Price played well enough. Again,

493
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 1: is he a guy that's going to be a long

494
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: term solution? Who knows? If they miss DJ Humphrey for

495
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 1: an extended period of time, it's going to get even

496
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: more scary because you want to feel confident the guys

497
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: that you have in front of you, and Kyler's just

498
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: had a revolving door up there upfront right now. On

499
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: top of revolving door at a lot of different positions,

500
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 1: five different offensive line combinations through eight games this season

501
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals, Rodney Hudson has already been ruled out

502
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 1: for this week's contest. You're not sure about who's going

503
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: to be a your left tackle as far as Dj

504
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: Humphrey's dealing with a back injury and then Cody Ford

505
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: getting his first start last week. Might be your left

506
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: guard once again this week. Yeah, all that band said.

507
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: When you're getting paid as much money as you are

508
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: and you're the franchise quarterback, it starts and stops with you.

509
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: So he's got to find answer. He's got to find solutions.

510
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: This is not a little kid's game anymore. He is

511
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: playing with a lot of chips, and he's got to

512
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: find solutions, and he's got to be a part of

513
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: that solution and whatever that is. If it's getting guys

514
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: to play better than they're capable of playing, it fits

515
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: simplifying some things for other guys and making sure you

516
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: do it. That's why you pay somebody that amount of

517
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: money because there are a difference maker, not only on

518
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: the field but off the field, and he has to

519
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: step up and show that maturation to be able to

520
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: pull everybody along with him. Are you uplifting your teammates,

521
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: maybe not to your level, but just uplifting their play

522
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: and putting them in good positions to be successful on Sundays?

523
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: I think that's what Drew is pointy too. Oh, Drew's

524
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: exactly right. You know, Kyler Murray's play is kind of

525
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: a microcosm of what happens with the entire team. He

526
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: plays really well through stretches. I mean, he had some

527
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: of his best throws of the season in this game.

528
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: He had to cover two throw to DeAndre Hopkins on

529
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: the sideline. Timing was perfect, hit him and stride through

530
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: a tight window. He had another great throw late in

531
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: the game to DeAndre Hopkins. You know. You know another thing,

532
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: it looked like our only chance of success in this

533
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: game was to keep throwing it to DeAndre Hopkins when

534
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: your next leading receiver had four catches. And look, Rondel

535
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: Moore did what we've been waiting for and what we've

536
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: been expecting of him. He broke some tackles, you know,

537
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: stuck his foot in the ground, got north and south,

538
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: and willed himself to a couple of big plays. But

539
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 1: you can't always bank on that either. We know that

540
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: leading up to this point, that's not always going to happen.

541
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: Then he's gonna you know, find some open space, break

542
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: some tackles, and have a big play. You know, there

543
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: was very little success in the running game. There was,

544
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: you know, Zach Ertz wasn't targeted very much. When he was,

545
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: he was effective. You know, at some point right now,

546
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins is a new novelty thing to this offense,

547
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: and he looks fantastic anytime Kyler targets him. I mean,

548
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: when you're catching almost every single ball that's thrown to you,

549
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: regardless of the coverage, his touchdown catch should not have

550
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: gone to DeAndre Hopkins. There's only probably one, maybe a

551
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 1: couple of players in the league that can make that play,

552
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: and it's DeAndre Hopkins. And you know, maybe justin Jefferson

553
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: because he had to catch just like that in the

554
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: game as well. So you know, they've got to find

555
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,479
Speaker 1: other answers that you know, we had talked about. It

556
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: looked like in the Saints game, DeAndre Hopkins opened up

557
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: opportunities for other players. You know, you can't tell me

558
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: that some of those big runs that broke out in

559
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: that game weren't because players are rolled to DeAndre Hopkins

560
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: or eyeballs, or at least on DeAndre Hopkins. The entire

561
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: time this game, it looked like he was our entire offense,

562
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: and when the ball went somewhere else, this offense couldn't

563
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: move the ball and convert. Still waiting for a deep

564
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: ball too. As far as a pass over forty yards,

565
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: The Cardinals the only team that has not completed a

566
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: pass of at least forty or more yards this season,

567
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: that deep ball. Kyle Murray's had success throwing that deep

568
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: ball in years past, not so much this year. Here's

569
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: head coach Cliff Kingsbury. You know, we haven't been able

570
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: to connect on the deep ball like we had previously.

571
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: This has been kind of one of our strong points,

572
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: and so whatever the rhythm is, we got to keep

573
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: working at it. But we need to be able to

574
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: push the ball down the field and hit some of

575
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: those and try to stretch defense and moving forward. How

576
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 1: much of that though, Kyle would help if you to

577
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,239
Speaker 1: your point, get that run game. Going only seventy eight

578
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: rushing yards on Sunday against the Vikings, and I think

579
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: this team became really one dimensional late in the game.

580
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: The last run was was seven thirty two left to

581
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: go in the fourth quarter. It was past pass pass passed,

582
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: and at that point you were still within one score,

583
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: so you could still keep your entire playbook open. Yeah,

584
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: an effective run game would have been huge. I mean,

585
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: that's what made this team one dimensional. It wasn't trailing,

586
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: it was they could not run the ball. And part

587
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: of that is, you know, having Billy Price, having Cody Ford,

588
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: and having Josh Jones, And quite honestly, it's probably the

589
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: reason there wasn't more deep balls in this game because

590
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: the Minnesota defense saw something up the middle. They rushed

591
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: Zadarius Smith over the garden, over the center and he

592
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: was getting back there quickly. And we've talked about this before.

593
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is phenomenal at a lot of things. When

594
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: there's pressure up the middle, he breaks down more often

595
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: than not. And there was an immediate pressure up the

596
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: middle because Zadarius Smith was beating either Billy Price or

597
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: Cody Ford. So what's the solution, then, Drew. If you're

598
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: getting that consistent pressure up the middle, you want your

599
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 1: quarterback to stay in the pocket. Put that pocket's breaking

600
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: down or it's closing in around him. Then the next

601
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: step is Okay, you throw the ball away, you take

602
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,479
Speaker 1: off and run, or is there a way to roll

603
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: him out a little bit and buy them a little

604
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: bit more time. Yeah, Well, I think if you know

605
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: you're going up against that right for a game plan

606
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: week you try and change the launch point, especially if

607
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: you know you're getting an internal pass rush. At the

608
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: same time, you want to remain a pastor to the

609
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: last possible second look across the ball. K Cousins did

610
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: a phenomenal job of that of sliding over. You know,

611
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: just in the game, it's still remaining a pastor, staying

612
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: worth in the framework of the pocket that you have

613
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,239
Speaker 1: slide and over, sliding up, staying in the pocket. And

614
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: maybe that's the next step you really want to see.

615
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: You can drill stuff like that and hopefully carry it

616
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: over throughout the course of the week, especially if you

617
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: make a concerted effort. That's one thing that we would

618
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: talk about or identify as, hey, you're escaping always to

619
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: your right, or you're doing all these little nuances. And

620
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: sometimes that's the coaches. Sometimes that's the backup quarterback of

621
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,959
Speaker 1: just subliminally telling Kyler, hey, like this is where you

622
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: need to be able to do that, because he is

623
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: so dynamic, but as soon as he is escaping the

624
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: pocket right now, he very rarely is staying alive as

625
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: a pastor. I thought, I think one third down, I

626
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: have fresh in my mind where Kyler did that. He

627
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: did a nice job of stepping up in the pocket.

628
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: Things were collapsing around him. He flipped his feet beautifully

629
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,719
Speaker 1: and gave the ball to you know, Benjamin and converted

630
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: on third down. Those are the type of plays that

631
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: it's kind of the game within the game where Kyler

632
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: can take that next step to get these guys the

633
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: opportunity to catch and run, because right now, with this offense,

634
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: while you're not seeing it successful. Sometimes you know, you're

635
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: throwing screens out on the perimeter and they're not catching run,

636
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: their feet are standing still. If we're trying to be

637
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: in a second and long situation, you're trying to get

638
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: five yards and there are little hook routes. Well, yeah,

639
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: defenses will give you that where this offense can be

640
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: really dynamic, and we saw it on the touchdown pass too.

641
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: Roundel Moore is if you get him the ball in

642
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: his hands while he's moving, it becomes a punt return.

643
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: You get the ball in downder him while he's moving,

644
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's easier said than done, especially against his

645
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: own defense, but you have to be able to find

646
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: ways to manufacture that. And that's on everybody in the building.

647
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: Didn't see Kyler run the ball much. People are always

648
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: pointing to him taking off and being more part of

649
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: the offense. He wants to throw the ball, get the

650
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: ball into the hands and his playmakers. The only rushed

651
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: the ball six times. Yeah, I mean six times still,

652
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: But if you think about it right, what sticks out

653
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: in my mind as he escapes He instantaneously became a

654
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: runner in a lot of those settings as opposed to

655
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: trying to keep his eyes down field. Thirty four twenty

656
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: six Cardinals lose on Sunday at Minnesota. There were some

657
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: bright spots on the offense. We kind of touched on

658
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: a couple of those. Will do a deep dive on

659
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins and Rondell More. Those were the two main

660
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: weapons on offense, not Kyl the Murrays. We continue here

661
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: on the Cardinals Red Seat Report presented by Sea Eat

662
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: Your Ticket to Great Seats, Craig Railer, Drew Stanton and

663
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: CoV Anibosh. Should we discuss all things Arizona Cardinals football

664
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: each and every Tuesday eleven am here on the Arizona

665
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: Cardinals Radio Network. Snapped it. Murray short set throws left

666
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: side of the end zone, plum handed catch, fred touchdown

667
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: by DeAndre Hopkins. Oh my goodness, he stabbed that out

668
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: of the air with his left hand, pulled it in

669
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: for a huge Cardinal score. He never took the second

670
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: hand of the football. Fantastic chemistry between Kyler Murray and

671
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. Those daggers, those steely knives, stabbed a pig

672
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: with his lop hand out of the air. Murray and

673
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: shotgun takes the snap, drops back to past, looks right,

674
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: throws right, more at thirty, turns right twenty five, twenty

675
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: four breaks attackled to the ten till the five touchdown.

676
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: There's the explosive play from Rondale More we have been

677
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:15,959
Speaker 1: waiting for between DeAndre Hopkins and Rondale Moore. A total

678
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: of nineteen catches for two hundred and fifty one yards

679
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. Unfortunately, that came in a loss thirty

680
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,719
Speaker 1: four to twenty six the Minnesota Vikings. As we continue here,

681
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: the second half of the Cardinals Red Seat Report presented

682
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: by Seek Your Ticket to Great Seats Craig Reel and

683
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: Drew Stanton and KYLEV. Nibosh talking about the offensive bright spots,

684
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: namely DeAndre Hopkins once again a one hundred yard receiving game,

685
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: he's played two games Drew, He's gotten over one hundred

686
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,239
Speaker 1: yards receiving in those two games. He continues to be

687
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: targeted time in and time again, but there's perhaps maybe

688
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: can you target him too many times? Are you targeting

689
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,959
Speaker 1: not enough? Because of how successful he's been? Well, I

690
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: think it's that happened to meet him. I think double

691
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: digits targets is a must every single week, and it

692
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: just so happens that he's catching the vast majority of them.

693
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: I mean, when you catch twelve war to thirteen targets,

694
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: you're doing something right. It's the other guys being able

695
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: to do it as the effect on the game. And again,

696
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: I think it really boils down to is getting more

697
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: creative and more balanced in your run game. You're seeing

698
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: the past game be good, but can you keep people

699
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: off balance? Can you establish the run game to open

700
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: up those deep shots they're going to give you the

701
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: underneath stuff, like I said, the stationary things on first

702
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: and second down to help you do that, and then

703
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: play quality defense on third down because they haven't been

704
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: converted at a high successful rate. And saying that, you

705
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: saw Rondel Moore step up a little bit and do

706
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: some of the things that we were hoping for and

707
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: everybody wants to see that. Zach Ertz and Kyler have

708
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: to get on the same page when you have three

709
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: guys that can kind of expand the field for you,

710
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: and we're hoping that Robbie Anderson the more he gets

711
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: comfortable within this offense, or the opportunity presents itself. And

712
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: maybe that's more of what it is, is just giving

713
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: him an opportunity to have those deep shots. That's conducive

714
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: and the advantageous for this offense. He hits those home runs,

715
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: that's where you're going to see this offense really take off.

716
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: And maybe it is just the simple ast the offensive

717
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: lines of work in progress. Oh I, Anderson only was

718
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: on the field for seven snaps, so I don't know

719
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: how much he was even a part of the game

720
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: plan on Sunday, But going back to d hop because

721
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: the one time that target was not successful, it was

722
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: looked like a drop. Now whether part of the I

723
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,959
Speaker 1: know Wolfleio during the broadcast was talking about a Kyle

724
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 1: that way the sun shines into US Bank Stadium, maybe

725
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: part of that glare. But I know if you ask Hopkins,

726
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: he'll say, if I have my hands on it, which

727
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: he did a little bit, and he dropped it. He

728
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: needs to pull that in at least that's what he'll

729
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: tell you. But I'm just thoroughly impressed. After missing the

730
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 1: first six weeks and not seeing a lot of work

731
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 1: in training camp or preseason, all of a sudden you

732
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: plug him in and it's like he's never left. Yeah,

733
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: It's what's impressive is the chemistry between Kyler and DeAndre Hopkins.

734
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 1: You know, it seems to me watching the game that

735
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins is the only player Kyler targets before he

736
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: comes out of his break, like he has so much

737
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 1: trust that I'm going to put the ball over here

738
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: and DeAndre Hopkins is gonna run underneath it and make

739
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: the play. Everybody else needs to be open for a

740
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 1: second before Kyler will throw it to him. And it's

741
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: it just looks like these two have spent the entire offseason,

742
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 1: the entire part of this season working together. I mean,

743
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 1: it's it's really impressive. I mean, even going back to

744
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: that Saints game, several of the targets to DeAndre Hopkins,

745
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 1: you know, he was still had his eyes downfield. He

746
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: hadn't hadn't come out of his break hadn't turned his

747
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: head and there were other players open, but Kyler was

748
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: confident that if I put the ball out in front,

749
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins is going to make a play. And he

750
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: keeps doing it. And you know, we all know after

751
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: watching Kyler Murray for you know, three and a half

752
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,720
Speaker 1: years now, he develops chemistry with players, and he develops

753
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: a trust and he will continue going to that player,

754
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: and so you know you can expect it. You know,

755
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: I was hoping for more targets because, like I said,

756
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: it seemed like our best chance of success in this

757
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: game was just to continually throw the ball to DeAndre

758
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:10,240
Speaker 1: Hopkins regardless of the coverage. He's always open, Drew even

759
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: when he's covered. We hear that a lot. But it's

760
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: safe to say, because you throw the ball to him,

761
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 1: either he's gonna get it or he's gonna make sure

762
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: the defender doesn't get it. There's not much risk when

763
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: you throw the ball at number ten. Yeah, no, you

764
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: feel good about it. But I would even go back

765
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 1: to this time in Houston, right, it didn't matter Deshaun Watson,

766
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: who is a great quarterback in this league. But when

767
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,240
Speaker 1: guy's like Tom Savage played, he would just make plays.

768
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: I mean I remember being down there in Patrick Peterson

769
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: covering him and trying to get what he does. Well,

770
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Yeah, you have supreme confidence, much like

771
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald, right, being able to play with that guy

772
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: from a quarterbacks perspective, and to what Kyle is talking about, right,

773
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: you let that ball go because you know what his

774
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: catch radius is just different. There's not many people, maybe

775
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: two three guys in this entire league that you have

776
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: the supreme confidence in them when you let it go.

777
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: I mean I would argue just and Jefferson might be

778
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: the only other one. I mean, Tyreek Hill, you know,

779
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup all those guys are capable. They're very good

780
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: at what they do. But when you feel good about

781
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,919
Speaker 1: just throwing it up to him and say, no matter what,

782
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: to your point, he's either to come down with it

783
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: or it's going to hit the turf, you feel real

784
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: good about that. Those type of odds. And I don't

785
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: think as much as chemistry between him and Kyler the matters.

786
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 1: I think it's just him being that talented. Twelve catches

787
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: on thirteen targets for one hundred and fifty nine yards.

788
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 1: Here's the head coach Cliff Kingsbury on de hoop. Anytime

789
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 1: you know the ball goes away, you expect him to

790
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: catch it. He's that type of the talent, that type

791
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 1: of a player and definitely brings a dynamic element to

792
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: our offense. And it's unfortunately we couldn't get him a

793
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: few more there At the end, Hopkins's performance did open

794
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: up things a little bit for rondel Moore, who had

795
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:48,240
Speaker 1: seven catches for ninety two yards. Once again, another quality

796
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: performance by rondel Moore against the Minnesota Vikings. You go

797
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: back a year ago more in Week two seven catches

798
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 1: one hundred and fourteen yards and a touchdown against Minnesota.

799
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: Rondel Moore earlier this week, though, asked about how Hopkins

800
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 1: is helping not only on the field but off the

801
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: field a ton on the field. Off the field, he

802
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: just has a great field for the game. He does

803
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 1: a good job of like breaking things, especially watching film

804
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: like the day after the game, just saying like this

805
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: is what they do if they do these hands signals,

806
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 1: this is what they mean. This is where you should

807
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: be and this guy will have you if you do this.

808
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: He'll take me if I do this. So he does

809
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 1: a lot of different things and looks at the game

810
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: from a quarterback perspective. In my opinion, he likes to

811
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: know the reads of like who's a first read, who's

812
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: the second read. Getting your depth on this route is

813
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: important just because you're the last in progression and things

814
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: like that. So does a good job of just helping

815
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: everyone else have a better understanding what's going on. On

816
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: Moore's thirty eight yard touchdown, the play call that we

817
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 1: heard coming into this segment, Kyle from Dave Pash, that's

818
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: what we've been waiting for. You get the ball in

819
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,959
Speaker 1: Rondel Moore's hands in space, not horizontal to the line

820
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, but downfield, whether that's five or ten yards,

821
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: and then let him do what he does best. We

822
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: saw that a little bit more on Sunday, and no

823
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: question is can we see it a lot more moving forward. Yeah,

824
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: it's it's what we've all been looking for. Like you said,

825
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 1: you know he catches. Up to this point, he's catching

826
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: the majority of his passes with his shoulders towards the sidelines.

827
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: And when you're doing that, you give defenders, you know,

828
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: you give backside defenders, you give your safeties an opportunity

829
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 1: to close on him. You know, he doesn't have those lanes.

830
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: You can see how effective he is when he's going

831
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 1: north and south, and how quickly he can eat up grass,

832
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,879
Speaker 1: and how shifty he is in the open field where

833
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: he's not having to dodge people while he's going laterally

834
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 1: or horizontally. He's dodging people while with the head of

835
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: steam going north and south. And and you know Patrick Peterson,

836
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: you know he's never been a great tackler, but he

837
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 1: had an opportunity. He had him by the shirt and

838
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: he just powered his way through it, lost a part

839
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: of his T shirt, but he got a touchdown there.

840
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: I think it was worth it. Rondel Moore also had

841
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 1: a twenty seven yard catch and run on that scoring driving. Yeah,

842
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll give up part of his T shirt

843
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: for a score, which at that point made it twenty

844
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: eight twenty three. Late in the third quarter, again the

845
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 1: Cardinals could not seal it close it out. They lose

846
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: the Vikings thirty four twenty six. But now let's turn

847
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: the page focus on Week nine, the unofficial halfway point

848
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: of the season, if you will. With seventeen games, it's

849
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: really even more difficult to kind of hit that halfway

850
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: point for the Cardinals this week host the Seattle Seahawks,

851
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: and we'll discuss that as we continue here on the

852

857
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: Radio Network pick third down for the Cardinals. A minute

858
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: ago here on the third third and five of the

859
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: Vikings on their thirty shotgun snapped the Cousins straight dropped

860
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: that in trouble. Hit ball is pumbled, Isaiah Simmons chopped

861
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: it out and Isaiah Simmons recovers it. What a play

862
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: two plagues by Isaiah Simmons. He strips the ball and

863
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 1: then he recovers it big time by the former top

864
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: ten pick, the X factor. Isaiah Simmons came out of

865
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: flitz beast man, got his left farm and knocked a

866
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: pig away from Cousins. A scrip sack for Isaiah Simmons,

867
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: And you thought that play with the Cardinals trailing twenty

868
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: eight twenty three. You get the ball back. Cardinals did

869
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,399
Speaker 1: score points, but it was a Matt Prater field goal

870
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: instead of a touchdown. After that bad snap, premature snap,

871
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 1: Cardinals do come away with points after that strip sack

872
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: fumble recovery by Isaiah Simmons. He also had five tackles.

873
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 1: Simmons earlier this week, when addressing the media, talked about

874
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: how much he hates losing as opposed to more than

875
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: he likes winning. Cardinals do not get the W in Minnesota. Now,

876
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: the question is can they get the W this week

877
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 1: when they host the Seattle Seahawks. Here's Isaiah Simmons on

878
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: the importance of an NFC West matchup this week. You know,

879
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: this is definitely the most important game, really just because

880
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: it's the next game, but just understanding that, you know,

881
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: we still can write our destiny, so you know, I

882
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: think everybody understands what the importance of this game is

883
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: and what it can do for us. You got the Seahawks,

884
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 1: the Rams, forty nine ers. Three straight division games beginning

885
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: this week with Seattle in town. Two oh five is

886
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: the kickoff nine thirty am. Pregame coverage begins here on

887
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals Radio Networking at three and five, Drew,

888
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,879
Speaker 1: you win all three, win two of the three, You've

889
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: put yourself right back within the division and perhaps with

890
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: the way things are going to the conference in the

891
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: NFC right NFC overall, Yeah, I think the big thing

892
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: is you got to protect the nest. That's what it

893
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: comes down to. It that they got Author Schneide two

894
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: weeks ago, being able to gainst the state's being able

895
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 1: to sit there and say we have to win our

896
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: home games. We have to ride this way of a momentum,

897
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 1: and it has to start with just getting one win

898
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: against a quality football team right at the beginning of

899
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 1: the year. I talked about it on the show before.

900
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: Your main objective, your main priority is to win the division.

901
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: You have to win division games. You have to be

902
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: able to do that consistently. And you've got to be

903
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: a football team that beat you just a couple of

904
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 1: weeks ago. There's a lot of familiarity there. Anything that

905
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: you didn't run that week, maybe you try to get

906
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,839
Speaker 1: to Obviously, you're inserting DeAndre Hopkins back into this game

907
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: plan and feeling really good about that. But at the

908
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: same time, it's going to be a dogfight. It always

909
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: is against the Seahawks. It's going to come down to

910
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: one or two plays. Can you make that play and

911
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: really be able to find a way to win a

912
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 1: football game. That's all they need to do. They need

913
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: to get that sense of what it feels like to

914
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,879
Speaker 1: win again, because they've lost more than they've won this year,

915
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: and it's just you've got to win one before you

916
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: can start going on a run and worrying about. Yes,

917
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: people will talk about this is a huge three game stretch.

918
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: This is a huge game right now because right now,

919
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,320
Speaker 1: as you look at this not only in this division,

920
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: but in the NFC in general, as you start looking

921
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: at Wild Card and all of these different things, your

922
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: margin of air just continually shrinks, and every loss, the

923
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: light just gets a little bit more dim. Week six,

924
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: Cardinals lost at Seattle nineteen to nine. Cardinals did a

925
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: good job on Tyler Lockin and DK Metcalf, Kenneth Walker

926
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: the third ninety seven rushing yards, and Gino Smith is

927
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 1: playing very very well this season for Seattle. Even though

928
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 1: this game was just a short time ago. It's it's

929
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: really two different teams. Like you talked about, Kenneth Walker

930
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,280
Speaker 1: has shown he can be a you know, a workhorse

931
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,839
Speaker 1: type running back. The Seattle defense has really stepped up,

932
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: only given up to twenty five last week against the Giants,

933
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: and that was a liability last time. And the Cardinals

934
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: are a completely different team because DeAndre Hopkins is on

935
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: the field. Four times the Cardinals had the ball inside

936
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: the Seattle thirty yard line in Week six, the came away,

937
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 1: which just three points. Maybe dhot makes all the difference.

938
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: We'll find out on Sunday two h five is the

939
