1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Good morning, Red Sea, and welcome into another edition of

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: The Morning scram Will presented by Rise and Wireless Time,

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: your host Felipe Cora Junior, joined by the Breakfast Club,

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: Jody Jackson, Craig Griloo, and guys, it's weeks. We're going

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: into week seventeen. Like, how fast has a season gone?

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: It feels like just a month ago we were in

7
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: La beating the Rams, in Tennessee beating the Titans. Like,

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: how fast has this season gone by? In twenty twenty one?

9
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: So much faster than I would compare to twenty twenty right, Jody, Yeah,

10
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: I mean it's gone quickly. But then again, it's been

11
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 1: a tale of two teams. Guys. You know everyone that's saying,

12
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 1: you know, this is not the same team. It's not

13
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: the same team from earlier in the season. They've lost

14
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 1: some key parts. I know we're going to get into

15
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: some of that, but you know, it's unfortunate losing four

16
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: of their last six. The good news is they are in.

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: I'm personally I know, I heard Craig on the postgame

18
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: show driving home from the stadium. I don't really care

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: how they got in, it's just what do they do now?

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: And obviously now that they are playing poorly, you know

21
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: you're concerned, but you know, into the playoffs is a

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: good thing, Philippe. How they're getting in, I don't care.

23
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of are they going to improve

24
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: in these next two games? Orlando, isn't an impressive how

25
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: Craig deals with you know, all the frustrated fans, rightfully?

26
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: So right three losses in a row week sixteen. You

27
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: lose to the Coats on Christmas twenty two, the sixteen

28
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: third consecutive or fourth consecutive loss at home, if I'm

29
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: not mistaken, But Orlando, are you more impressed with how

30
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: Craig deals? You know, with the audience? Elipe am, good

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: morning everyone. The way he does it, and I see

32
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: him in the press loss Man, why don't you see

33
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: that that no Peg is going full speed taking notes

34
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: with his ear preason, I don't even say hi to Craig.

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: Craig is prepping for the post game show man. He's on,

36
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: He's on straight killer mode. I like it. Man, Congratulations Creig,

37
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: you do a great job. Tough losses. You know this

38
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: happens in the NFL. You mentioned, Philippe, the season has

39
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: gone by really quick, it's gonna come even quicker these

40
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: last two games, and I think years on the Cardinals

41
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: with clinching number wise, this weekend has a shot, has

42
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: a hope to kind of push this thing forward, and

43
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: was we get into the main dish, Craig. You know,

44
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: I was pretty impressed with that defensive line, obviously holding JT.

45
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: Johnathan Taylor to one hundred and eight rushing yards, which

46
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: you know, by the way he's performed this season, you know,

47
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty impressive, right. But the secondary, man, they've

48
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: been struggling throughout this three game losing streak, I believe

49
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: per the gree loose stats. You know, I got an

50
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: email like seven fifty this morning in Orlando and it

51
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: was Craig giving us a bunch of notes. He prepared me,

52
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: helped me prepared. The secondary has given up eight passing

53
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the past three games, all losses. Obviously, Craig,

54
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: you know, what have you seen? What's been the difference?

55
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: It's a great question, Philip Paper By the way, just

56
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: this quick other little nugget by the way, I don't

57
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: know about the rest of you, but I've lost way

58
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: here in the month of December, especially the last three

59
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: weeks because we don't have Rolando providing food after these

60
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: victories on Sunday. So yeah, it's it's it's great to

61
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: lose weight, but I don't know if I like this

62
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: diet that the Cardinals have given us here at the

63
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: end of twenty twenty one. We need Rolando next week

64
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: and these next two games, or to stay three games

65
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: because they're guaranteed at least one more game in the postseason.

66
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: So Rolando, I don't know what you got planned, but

67
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to feast once again here, so am

68
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 1: I I need to get inspired, guys. I mean it's

69
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: hard after a loss to kind of just open up

70
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: the pantry and the free agency what you got. But

71
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: for sure, you know it's gonna turn around. I think

72
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: the new year is going to be a great new year,

73
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: Craig for the Cardinals. I don't know speak for yourself, Craig.

74
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: I wake up and eat chocolate every day, so I'm

75
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: still doing all right, but I do miss the actual

76
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: culinary skills and some real food that Orlando brings, so

77
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: I am looking forward to that. Just just a win

78
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: is going to be nice, and hopefully that is what

79
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: happens the worst part about it, Craig is it's the holidays.

80
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: Orlando takes it up or not during the holidays, man,

81
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: and you guys haven't seen this culinary skills during like Christmas,

82
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: New Year's, A bunch of tamals, a bunch of steaks,

83
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: so much prepared. But we haven't gotten that in these

84
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: past weeks. With Craig to to the point of the secondary,

85
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: you know what's been the difference these past three weeks.

86
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: It didn't mean to sidebar there, but I had to

87
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: give a shout out to Orlando. Look, something's not right

88
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: with this football team in either phase offense, defense, special teams.

89
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: It's a broken team. But can it be fixed? And

90
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: that's the question that I think everyone wants to know,

91
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: with respects to to the defense and the secondary on

92
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: what's going on. I don't know if it's a matter

93
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: of that pass rush not getting enough pressure on opposing

94
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: quarterbacks to allow for the secondary to match up, or

95
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: they're having to cover a little bit longer because quarterbacks

96
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: aren't under a ton of pressure. But twice now during

97
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: this three game loose streak, we've seen a past defense

98
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: allow four or four passing plays of twenty or more

99
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: yards so and there were some huge pass plays on

100
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: Saturday nights, including one on second and seventeen and another

101
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,679
Speaker 1: one on second and ten that allowed the Colts to

102
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: score what proved to be the decisive touchdown late in

103
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. But now the concern is health. Marco

104
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,679
Speaker 1: Wilson loses, gets hurt, loses, you know, did not play

105
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: the second half after hurting his shoulder in the first half.

106
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: Robert Alford is on ir He'll have to miss at

107
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: least one more game, so Byron Murphy, Antonio Hamilton. It's

108
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: a lot to ask. It's a lot to ask for

109
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: any of these guys to cover. But past defense right

110
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: now is a struggle. As much as I was happy

111
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: about the run defense on Saturday, that past defense was

112
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: suspect and credit Carson wins. But they've got a short

113
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: things up in the secondary. But again I don't know

114
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: how much that is because of the defensive line and

115
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: the edge rush is not getting home on opposing quarterbacks.

116
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,559
Speaker 1: It's a perfect segue over to the defensive line who played.

117
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: You know, they played pretty well against Jonathan Taylor. You

118
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: knew you weren't gonna necessarily stop JT. Right, But twenty

119
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: seven attempts one hundred and eight rushing yards for Johnson

120
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: and Taylor. I believe he was tackles for the last

121
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: eight times after that forty three yard run in the

122
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: I believe the Colts first offensive series, he only averaged

123
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: two point five yards. Great carry after that, would you

124
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: like from that defensive line, Jody, that we might not

125
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: have seen in these packs a couple of weeks, Right, Yeah,

126
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: I really did. It was the very first play from

127
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: the Colts. Obviously the Cardinals got the ball first, but

128
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: you know, and then he broke off a forty three

129
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: yard run and I think everyone's just thinking, WHOA, what's

130
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: this is exactly what you knew could not happen. But

131
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: then after that they pretty much locked it down. You're

132
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: right fully, Fay. Eight of his twenty seven carries were

133
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: for negative yardage, So you had tackles for loss all

134
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: over the board. And it was not just the d

135
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: line but a total team effort there. You saw Buddha

136
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: Baker had a couple of tacks for loss as well,

137
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: and you know, it's just they locked him down. And

138
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: he did have twenty seven carries one hundred and eight yards,

139
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: but just over half of the yardage came on those

140
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,119
Speaker 1: two runs, the forty three yard or and then another

141
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: long run, So a lot of it was short after that,

142
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: and you do love to see that. And they were

143
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: fighting hard out there. I mean, that's the thing about

144
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: this game, and I don't know if that's what makes

145
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: it a little more concerning, is that this team did

146
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: have juice. I watched them go out on offense, and

147
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: unfortunately they couldn't score a touchdown on that first drive.

148
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: But you know, Edmonds hurts, they were, they were, they

149
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: had a distinct plan. They were moving the ball, but

150
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: then they couldn't convert on third and fourth down and

151
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: they couldn't make it happen in the red zone. But

152
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: they had that juice and that defensive line have that

153
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: as well. And I saw Zach Allen shout out to

154
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: Zach Allen, who I saw kind of limping or kind

155
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: of hard to get up there. At the end of

156
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: the second quarter, went into the locker room. If you remember,

157
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: there was a kick, you know, just kind of time

158
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: was winding down. He went into the locker room a

159
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: little early. He came back on on the field. He

160
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: played that second half. I don't you know, these guys

161
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: are banged up, and they're in there and they're fighting,

162
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: and that's really the hallmark of a you know, not

163
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: only a great football team, but that that line in

164
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: particular was you know, it was not an easy game.

165
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: It was a physical game, and I think they played

166
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: their hearts out. And you're right though, unfortunately Carson Wentz.

167
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: It was kind of like, let's let Wentz beat us,

168
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: and unfortunately he did. He made some great plays, especially

169
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: that last touchdown throw was kind of that dagger, and

170
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: the Cardinals just didn't. You know, again, A Craig mentioned it,

171
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm putting this one on the defense,

172
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: as bad as that was, that last drive and the

173
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: second and seventeen and all of that, but you just

174
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: you've got to score more than sixteen points. The Cardinals

175
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: know that, the offensive coaches know that, Kingsbury and Murray

176
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: know that. You know, they just did not convert in

177
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: the It's a little bit of a mystery right now.

178
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: Why you know, Aj Green has his first catch in

179
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, you know, all these other things. But

180
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: I do want to I do want to say that

181
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: that defensive line really played the hearts out and I

182
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: enjoyed watching that fully they that was that was a

183
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: team that was ready to play and ready for Jonathan

184
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: Taylor and Rolando Jody touched on how this offense came

185
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: out with juice right in the first quarter. They were

186
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: giving Chase Edimons touches on the ground through their air

187
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: and whatnot, But that kind of faded away throughout the game, right,

188
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: And I believe a lot of those struggles came from

189
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: this offensive line. You know, five of those season high

190
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: eleven penalties came pre snap fos, starts, things of that nature.

191
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: Why is it important to state disciplined, especially as the

192
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 1: game you know carries on, Well, that's everything. Discipline is

193
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 1: everything for an offensive linement. And do you have out

194
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: of those eleven penalties you mentioned, five of them are

195
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: false starts. I mean, they're mental errors. That's the only

196
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: way you categorize these these plays, right, because you know,

197
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 1: you produce, you know, you're in a you're in a

198
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: short yardage situation, third and three, third and fourth, and

199
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 1: then you get in a false start. It puts your

200
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: back up, so you've got to change the play. There's

201
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: no way you can continue with the same play. So

202
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: I think that's what kind of hindered the good that

203
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: we saw with this offensive line unit perform versus a Colt.

204
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: But then again, you know, Kogler is a tough coach.

205
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: Sean Kogler is one of the best offensive line coaches

206
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: there is in the NFL. And there's no room forever. Man,

207
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: you have five penalties, it's not a good week for

208
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: the offensive line. That's just basically what it is. And

209
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: I understand you're playing at home. I understand. You know

210
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: you're putting in different pieces. You know Mascarca is at

211
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: the center position. You know Peel was back in his

212
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: left guard spot, and you should have, you know, some

213
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: kind of a way to kind of just communicate this

214
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: without false starts, right obviously we know that Josh Jones

215
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: had a couple of them in there, and it just

216
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: comes to the point where you know, these false starts

217
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: shouldn't be part of the game. But one's going to happen.

218
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: I mean one is like, okay, guys, let's say that's

219
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: our mulligan. Let's go, let's refocus this thing. And we

220
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: know the count. We know it's a island count. I

221
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: know gonna have to hit you on the hip, so

222
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: you can you know, snap the ball or we know

223
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: the cadence. That's it. There's no other way to do it.

224
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: You're at home, you're not playing, you know, in looming

225
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: field in Seattle with you know, the twelve fans screaming

226
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: in your ear. This is an environment where you control

227
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: and you have to make sure you stay focused. And

228
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: I get it because I've been there as well. Once

229
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: you do a false start on a run place because

230
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: you want to just put your hand down, Philippe and

231
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 1: go mall the guy in front of you. That's you

232
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: want to make sure you get that first jump in there.

233
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: And that's what's happened to these guys for the most part.

234
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: And Craig, I don't want to move on before touching

235
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: on Matt Prader because a lot of people, oh, why

236
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: do he missed? He missed an extra point in two

237
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: field goals? Right? But I believe I saw you retweet

238
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: j Philly, former Cardinals kicker, and he was talking about

239
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: the importance of having your place holder, which was not

240
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: the case in week sixteen. Obviously Andy Lee was missing.

241
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: If you can fill in the fans, you know the

242
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: importance of having a placeholder in those scenarios. It's three

243
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: players all doing their job, the snapper, the holder, the kicker,

244
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: and when you do not have your holder. It sounds

245
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: simple enough, but Colton McCoy thrust into duty this week

246
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: for the first time this season, and on the first

247
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 1: miss kick, the laces were not out, they were pointed

248
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: towards Matt Prador. And then on the second snap he

249
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: spun the laces but they were not completely all the

250
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: way forward. They were still a little bit more horizontal

251
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage, and that affects how the

252
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: ball is, the trajectory of the ball once it's in

253
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: the air. Ryan Winslow came in for the last two

254
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: kicks and there didn't seem to be an issue, But

255
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: that third miss I think might have been more on

256
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: Matt Prador trying to compensate. But this is the second

257
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: time this season that Matt Prador has missed three kicks

258
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: in a game. He had never missed three kicks in

259
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: a game his entire career before this season. Yet the

260
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: same time, I'm not worried about Matt Prador. I'm not

261
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: concerned as long as you have Aaron Brewer, Andy Lee,

262
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 1: who we hope is back this week. Special Teams wasn't great,

263
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: But that's not the concern. It's the offense and what

264
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: Jody mentioned, scoring enough points a defense that allows twenty

265
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: twenty two points, that's fine, that's good, that's great. Offense,

266
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: you got to be able to score more than sixteen points.

267
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: And now and back to back games they failed to

268
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: hit that twenty point mark and an offense that once

269
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: upon a time was consistently scoring thirty points a game.

270
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: Things change once you get into December and the postseason

271
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: as far as slowing down the offense and points become

272
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: harder to get. But it's on the offensive coaching staff,

273
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, the offensive line, the skill position players to

274
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: figure out how to get that football in the end zone.

275
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: And uh, we'll eventually get to know how this team

276
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: can tend to ship around in our bring Home the

277
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: Bacon because we do have a special segment back Orlando,

278
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: the team claims the playoff birth for the first time

279
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: since twenty fifteen. So we'll touch on you know when

280
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: that happened for the ship to turn rombo. Right now,

281
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: let's get into our rise and shine, and we'll start

282
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: off with Jody Jackson and I really like how this

283
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 1: specific player has been playing ever since the birth of

284
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: his first child. Right, that changes everything, right, Jody, Yeah,

285
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker was the epitome of bringing that energy. The

286
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: other day, he was in on twelve tackles, He had

287
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: a couple of tackles for loss, He had a sack vance.

288
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: Joseph dialed up him coming off the engine blitzing. He

289
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: was effective in that. You know, and you guys know,

290
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: and the fans know, everyone watching this knows. You know,

291
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: Buddha is a guy that you never see him not

292
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: bring that. On game day, He's ready and he's out

293
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: there inspiring his teammates. And I think he was trying

294
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: to do that. I mean, again, you take away the safety,

295
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: it's twenty points the defense. You know, you look at

296
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: the what this defense was able to do. And Buddha

297
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: Baker was out there NonStop throughout the entire game trying

298
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: to motivate his team, and I love the effort that

299
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: he brought. He was angry after the game, which did

300
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: not surprise me at all when you listen to his comments. Guys,

301
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: the one thing that you kind of noticed he was

302
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: having trouble keeping his train of thought because I think

303
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: he was still just a very emotional and angry, and

304
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: I kind of enjoyed that honesty though from him, and

305
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: you know that's something that he keeps. He wears some

306
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: of that on his sleeve, and I'm okay with that.

307
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, I really hurt him. I'm sure that last

308
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: drive again what the secondary was not able to do

309
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: in stopping Carson Wentz in that offense. But Buddha, keep

310
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: doing what you're doing. We do appreciate that effort at

311
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: each and every game, and it does I do believe

312
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: it does bleed over to the other guys on that defense,

313
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: and so they just gotta keep it going. They got

314
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: to stay the course here. For Dallas, there were some

315
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: good things along with the bad, unfortunately, but rise and

316
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: shine it was slim pickins a little bit, guys, I

317
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: know this week as far as players that made a

318
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: real positive impact, I mean, this team though they did

319
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: do the staff were pretty similar. It was penalties. It

320
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: was the red zone that hurt them. Craig, what about you?

321
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: Who's your rising shine this week? Well? For me, it's

322
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: the nearly sixty four thousand fans who showed up on

323
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: Christmas nights to watch the Arizona Cardinals. They rose and Shine.

324
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: They were loud, they were energetic, they were waiting to

325
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: get behind this team, and the Cardinals did very little

326
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: to get the crowd into the ballgame. The crowd can

327
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: only do so much. But for me on Christmas Night,

328
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: it's a great way to finish off the spectacular day morning, good, afternoon, good,

329
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,239
Speaker 1: The night awful as far as Christmas Night was concerned.

330
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: But almost sixty four thousand, I'm going to give it

331
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: up to the Red Sea. And something that Buddha Baker

332
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: did say post game as well, quote the Red Sea

333
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: was loud today. We definitely appreciate that. That was definitely

334
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: a great experience for us. We're sorry that we didn't

335
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: get the W. First time all season that we heard

336
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: a player apologized, and I think it's long overdue. Four

337
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: straight losses at State Farm Stadium. This fan base there

338
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 1: behind the Arizona Cardinals, but it's getting harder and harder

339
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: based off the performance between the lines. So my Rising Shine,

340
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: the Red Sea, those sixty four thousand showed up on Saturday, Rolando,

341
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 1: what about you, great Rising Shine Craig, Yes, it was hard.

342
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: I mean you would take off your headband while we

343
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: were calling the game, and it was. I mean, it

344
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 1: was ecstatic, great energy. I mean, keep bringing it. We're

345
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: gonna need you for the Seahawks game in the season finale.

346
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: For me, rising shine has to be Chander Jones. Let

347
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: me tell you why stat and Wise is not to

348
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: appear like the best game for challenging Jones. But I

349
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: see the intensity level from Chander Jones. I see the effort.

350
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: They're kind of similar to Jody to what Buddha was

351
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: bringing on the safety site. Chandler Jones from the outside

352
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: outside linebacker position and wants to go at it. And

353
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: you could see it every time he would come down

354
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: the line, just penetrating and tackling Jonathan Taylor. You could

355
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: see the way he wanted to finish the play. And

356
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: I think that kind of was in there for a while.

357
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: But obviously, you know, they just kept going at it,

358
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: kept going at it, and I think what happened that

359
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: change when he ran into Carson Wentz. That was a

360
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: fifteen yard penalty and it was like, okay, I don't

361
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: want to run into you. And obviously Carson Wentz threw

362
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: his body away and you know, kind of sold it

363
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,719
Speaker 1: a little bit, which I get because he's a quarterback.

364
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: Every quarterback is taught to do that. Fifteen yards for free.

365
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: Come on, guys, you're gonna take it every single time.

366
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: But I think that's what happens when you see Chander

367
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: Jones on the field. He's a captain, he's a leader,

368
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: he's an emotional guy. Every time he does a penalty

369
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: like that, he comes back and he tackles really hard.

370
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: And I like the intensity level that Chander Jones is bringing.

371
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: I just want to see him him and others just

372
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 1: a little bit more under control. Because if you extend

373
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: drives while you have these penalties, I mean, it's free yardage, man,

374
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: and you're just trying to get back into the things.

375
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: While you think, okay, third and long and I'm gonna

376
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: get off after this play, You're not going to get

377
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: out because the penalty just happened. So I think the

378
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: rise and shine player for me is Chandler Jones. I

379
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 1: want to see him shine more though this next weekend

380
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 1: dollars and I'll finish it off talking about none other

381
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: than Chase Sedimans. I believe he was the bright spot

382
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: of that offense, right one hundred and twenty seven total yards.

383
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: For you fantasy owners that had him in the fantasy playoffs.

384
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: You know, we're about that fantasy postseason time right now.

385
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: He gave you one hundred and twenty seven total yards

386
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: a touchdown. He was doing everything right. I mean, I

387
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: feel like when they were giving him the touches, his

388
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: offense was moving the chains right. As soon as that

389
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: started fading away, that's when you see when you saw

390
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: this offense kind of get stagnant a little bit. So

391
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: I'd like to see Cliff Kingsbury, you know, utilize them

392
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: just a little bit more throughout the entirety of that game. Obviously,

393
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: with the return of Chase James Contraction, say, excuse me,

394
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: you're going to see that duo that we saw in

395
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: those first eight weeks when the season, when the team

396
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: started off seven and one. This offense is going to

397
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: go back to being a little bit more versatile. Kyler

398
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 1: Murray's not gonna have to utilize his legs. Even though

399
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: kinda mary led the team in the rush yards on Saturday,

400
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: you don't necessarily want to see him risk his body,

401
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: especially as we get closer to the postseason. But Chase Edmonds,

402
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 1: he came back with the vengeance. He was one of

403
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: the guys just like Ludha Baker Jody after the game,

404
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: he was keeping a blunt He was saying, it's getting

405
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: frustrating that it's crunch time right now. Essentially, so in

406
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: the name of Chase Edmonds, it's crunch time, Arizona Cardinals.

407
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: It's crunch time, Red Seat. You have two more weeks

408
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: to turn the ship around before the postseason that you

409
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: know you're already and you know, regardless of how you clinch,

410
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 1: if you turn the ship around and you perform well

411
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: on the postseason, no one's gonna remember Week sixteen that

412
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 1: the Cardinals clinch because the Ramsey, the Vikings and then

413
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers lost. None of that's gonna matter

414
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: if you turn if you turn those right, there was

415
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: those wrongs into right heading into the postseason. So that's

416
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: do it for our Rise and Shine segment. Now on

417
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: to bringing home the Bacon. Like I mentioned throughout this

418
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: entire show, the Cardinals clinch a play for the first

419
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: time since twenty fifteen. Orlando can two two weeks left.

420
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: You know, you potentially can go to Tampa Bay, you

421
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: could potentially go to the Rams, you could potentially go

422
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys. But if you don't turn the ship

423
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: around right now, things will get ugly heading into the postseason.

424
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: One needs to happen. Well, you know you're going to

425
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,479
Speaker 1: Dallas right and after that Sunday night performance, So you

426
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: have to make sure you watch the tape three or

427
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: four times just to kind of get a grasp on

428
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: how versatile this offense can become from the Cowboys. So

429
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: defensive wise, I think you know it's gonna be a challenge.

430
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: We want to we don't want to bring home the baby,

431
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: We want to take the bake into them. You have

432
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: to make sure you go at it, Philippe. It's crunch time.

433
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: And yes, you know there's a sign of relief because

434
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: you're you know that you're gonna play one more week

435
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,239
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, right because numerically we're in there and

436
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: we clinched that playoff birth. But what needs to happen.

437
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: We need to play sound football. We need to go

438
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: back to the basics, good tackling, no penalties on the

439
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: offensive side. Just kind of get into where Craig said,

440
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: what happened to the thirty points? What happened to the

441
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: explosive rhythm that we were dictating, you know through week

442
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: one through seven, those are the kind of things that

443
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna take a hard look at it this week.

444
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: You cannot just go out and practice, say okay, you

445
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,959
Speaker 1: know what, guys, we're gonna play one more time. You know,

446
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 1: it's the Dallas Cowboys on the road, and I get it.

447
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: You know, Kyler Murray is gonna be the storyline is

448
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: going to be that he hasn't lost in Texas, and

449
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: we know how how important that is for him and

450
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: how that could kind of give him the boost or

451
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: the edge. But it's a different time. Two weeks to

452
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: kind of polish and perform at a great level so

453
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: you can kind of grab that rhythm towards the end.

454
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: And if you grab that rhythm, if these guys grab

455
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: the rhythm, the Cardinals grab the rhythm offensively, I think

456
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: we'll be fine with a win over Dallas. Philippe, Craig

457
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: and Jody, everything else will kind of settle down for

458
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: them inside the locker room and they will kind of

459
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: just focus on the last week of the regular season,

460
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: which will be at home against the settle So for me,

461
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: Philippe in ten city level has to go up. Your

462
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: mental you know, your mental reps have to be there

463
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: every single time in practice. It starts with practice. I

464
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: think that's has to eventually just kind of, you know,

465
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: catapult you into the game. And I think the Arizon

466
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: Cardinals have everything in front of them. The pressures off

467
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: with making it to the player, because the players are

468
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,479
Speaker 1: going to be there, they have to make sure they

469
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: get back to the basics for me, no mental no

470
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: mental penalties, and and go at it. The intensity level

471
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: has to just come up a notch on the offense

472
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: and the defensive side. I'll go backwards. I go from

473
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: Orlando to Craig. Craig, these teams in the past three seasons,

474
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: it's no secret. It's kind of hard to shy away

475
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: from the fact that this team has struggled coming off

476
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: to buy in these past three seasons. What essentially has

477
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: to happen, Like when it comes to December football, when

478
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: it comes to getting closer to the postseason, this teams

479
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 1: tends to struggle. Right, What do you want to see

480
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: differently in these last two weeks this season? I want

481
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 1: to see a smart football team doesn't make mistakes, that

482
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: doesn't make mistakes that help them or hurt themselves. These

483
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: self inflicted mistakes that we keep hearing so often and

484
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: clean football that Kingsbury brought up going into the bye way,

485
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: we can get over these last four games. Eleven penalties

486
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 1: on Sunday in the weeks prior eight seven. I mean

487
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,239
Speaker 1: that's penalties are going to happen, but it's the pre

488
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: snap penalties that are inexcusable, especially at home. So play smart,

489
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: I mean don't. I can't fault effort and the performance

490
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: has not been there compared to where it was earlier

491
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: in the season. But you gotta play smarter and right now,

492
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: this is not a smart football team, at least what

493
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: we're seeing in the last three games. So be disciplined

494
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: and smart. And who knows what will happen here in

495
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: these last two games. Jody's right, doesn't matter how you

496
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: get in, but it does matter how you're playing going

497
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: into the postseason. Teams on losing streaks, Teams that are

498
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: struggling don't win Super Bowls. Sorry, just doesn't happen. The

499
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens are the last team to lose four out

500
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: of five going to the postseason and still win the

501
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. You have to be playing well in order

502
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: to make an extended run in the playoffs. You cannot

503
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 1: turn it on it doesn't work. History backs me up. Jody,

504
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you on the spot. I'm sorry before

505
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: we wrap up the show. But in order for this

506
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: team to right the wrongs, who is a key player?

507
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 1: Who do you look towards to and say, okay, X

508
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: player plays phenomenal. Regardless of what else is happening, this

509
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: team is gonna head into the postseason with a good rhythm. Well,

510
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: it is putting me on the spot, but it's fair

511
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: because you guys watched that game like I did on Saturday,

512
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: and Carson Wentz and guys like t Y Hilton and

513
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 1: a guy named Desmond Patman, you know, who hadn't been

514
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: much of a factor in the offense, and they stepped up.

515
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: There were guys that stepped up. And again we've kind

516
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: of broken down the defense. So I'm going to zero

517
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: in on the offense a little bit more because look,

518
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: that was the thing, the engine that drove this team.

519
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: It was complimentary, for sure, but this is a team

520
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: that you look at at ten and five. They built

521
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: all the equity at the start of the season and

522
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 1: that's why they're in. So the goodness is they are in.

523
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: I will say this, I don't know if this is

524
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: going to have an effect in the last two games,

525
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: but the fact that they are in that's what's different

526
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: from the previous two years, and it is from the

527
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: earlier equity in the season. So that's just a fact

528
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: you're in. Where you go and how you get there

529
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: and how you appear at you know, how you're going

530
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: to go in with momentum or not he's going to change.

531
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: I think it has to be Kyler Murray Philippe. I

532
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: think it really does because as much as he does

533
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: on his own, you know, saw him takeoff running for

534
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: that longest run of his career, I believe, fifty seven yards.

535
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: I mean, there are moments where he can take a

536
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: game over and you say, sometimes earlier in the season,

537
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: say gosh, I wish he didn't have so much of

538
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: it on his back, but it is. And he doesn't

539
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 1: have DeAndre Hopkins and we all know that and not

540
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: to belabor that, but that's a big deal. And then

541
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: they didn't have James Connor last week, so I don't

542
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: know if Connor's going to be back. I don't know

543
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: if Rondel Moore will be back. But they still have

544
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: AJ Green, they have Christian Kirk, they have zach Ertz,

545
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: they have Chase Edmonds, they have a number of other

546
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: weapons on this offense, and so I think they have

547
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: to figure it out. I think it's whether it's going

548
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: back to the drawing board or not. I think also

549
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: it's easy to shine a light on Kyler going to

550
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: Dallas because, like you guys mentioned that that connection and

551
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: unbeaten in Texas and all of those things will be

552
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: on display. And I think it is. You know, it's

553
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: no surprise that I'm picking the quarterback because that is

554
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: just the nature of the position. But when you also

555
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 1: look at what Kyler Murray does for this team when

556
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 1: he's rolling, when he's making the plays. I mean, and

557
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: by the way that throw to Wesley and they catch

558
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,199
Speaker 1: by Wesley, that was that was fantastic. Just needed we

559
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 1: needed one more. This team needed one or two more

560
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: of those type of plays. So Kyler Murray can flip this.

561
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: He's the guy Philippe and I think that's maybe an

562
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: easy pick here, but you know he's gonna be a

563
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: key player in these final two games. I mean, it's

564
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: no secret that he's an alpha mele. If there's a

565
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: time to put the team on your back, I believe

566
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 1: it's his last two weeks heading into the postseason. And

567
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: once you're in the postseason, I mean that's when everybody's

568
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: looking at you. I mean, this team has struggled. This

569
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: no secret their own three on primetime. But again, if

570
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a time to turn this ship around,

571
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be on primetime in the playoffs. Everybody's gonna

572
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: be looking at you. Kone has to put the team

573
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: on his back, like he's done throughout the course of

574
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 1: the season when he was a candidate for the MVP.

575
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: I mean, at one point this season, if you guys

576
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: remember we were discussing Kyler Murray being a candidate for

577
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: the MVP. So he has to go back to that

578
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: that performance. He has to go back to getting into rhythm.

579
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: Maybe coming off the injury, but I can't even use

580
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,239
Speaker 1: that as an excuse. He's been running more of these

581
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: past three weeks. Then he has the first eight weeks

582
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: of the season before he got hurt. So K one

583
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: is gonna have to put his team on his back

584
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,719
Speaker 1: to really turn the ship around. Jody, you have one

585
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: more comment. I forgot one name. Rodney Hudson. Rodney Hudson's

586
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: a big, big deal for this team. We've seen some

587
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: of the snap issues, just everything that he does. I

588
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: don't know. Again, I hope he'll be back this week.

589
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: But he's another guy that is so important to this offense.

590
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: And when you lose guys, I think everyone you hear

591
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: a lot of fans say, well, you know, it's all

592
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: the big fuss we made in the offseason about all

593
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: these acquisitions. There was a reason for it, and when

594
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: you don't have them, you know, you can't expect the

595
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: team to look the same. But hopefully this week they

596
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: get back to it. And again now you have to

597
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: find a way, Philippe, like you said, I mean you

598
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: have regardless of who you have, and Rolana knows this

599
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: from play. I mean, it has to be next man up.

600
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: It has to be get it done, find a way.

601
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: And I want to mention Rodney Hudson because he is very,

602
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: very important. We have noticed that more and more as

603
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: he's been out, whether it was the RIB or the

604
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: or the COVID protocol. All right, Yeah, two weeks left

605
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: in the twenty one season is gone by fast. There's

606
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: still a lot of football to be played in these

607
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. At a lot of important matches, right,

608
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: you go to Dallas, then you host the Seahawks where

609
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,479
Speaker 1: potentially you can win the division of the Rams end

610
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: up losing to the forty nine ers. In these last

611
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: two weeks, there's there's a lot still on the line.
