It 12 00:00:53,520 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: doesn't get any better than that. Unleash the far years ago, 13 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley, we gave you a T shirt. It was 14 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: a custom design T shirt just for you and a 15 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: few other select people. And this actually is in addition 16 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: to the prove it Everyday T shirt that you have 17 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: in your closet. This particular T shirt read and I quote, 18 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: effort beats talent if talent doesn't bring the effort. So 19 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: coach kyl VC is here to say that, you know, 20 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: you can throw the word energy in there. Energy beats 21 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: talent if talent doesn't bring the energy, because is that 22 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: not what we saw out there against Carolina. As the 23 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: bad news the bye week arrived two weeks earlier than expected. 24 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: The good news, energy should not be a problem. It's 25 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: never a problem when the Cardinals go to Seattle because boom, 26 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: you go in and it's you against the world. And 27 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: so there's no better game in my opinion, based on 28 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: the last game we saw, than for the Arizona Cardinals 29 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: to go and take on the Seahawks on the road 30 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: right before the bye week. And here we are with 31 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: a big red rage featuring Jalen Thompson tonight, Ron Wolfley, 32 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: are you ready? I'm ready for that ballet? Really, but 33 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: you're so right on it right now. I mean, this 34 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: game is going to be the intensity of the Arizona 35 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: Cardinals versus the desperation of the Seattle Seahawks. That's what 36 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna come. Doubt, listen it. It doesn't matter, Paul. 37 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if Kyler plays or doesn't play. It 38 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: doesn't matter if Dha plays or doesn't play. It doesn't 39 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: matter if the twelves are there or they're not there. 40 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: None of it matters. If the Arizona Cardinals go out 41 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: with the intensity we saw last week against the Carolina Panthers, 42 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: none of it matters because they'll get destroyed if that 43 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: happens again. It was almost as if the Cardinals took 44 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: a sick day, as in, we're sick of playing football. 45 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: That's what it looked like to a certain degree. And look, 46 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: they have eleven games before the bye, so we'll see 47 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: what it's all about on Sunday. To your point, we 48 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: may or may not see Kyler Murray. And the injury 49 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: report has come out, the long awaited an injury report today. Yes, 50 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: he is listed as limited limited. So there's what you 51 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: read as in the injury report and there it is, okay, 52 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: And then there's what they say and Kyler saying for 53 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: the second straight week that he's making quote crazy progress 54 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: in big strides. Okay, are you going to break something here? 55 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: Are you going to break a story? It's just my 56 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: own observation, Oh, your own observation, okay, literally an observation. 57 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: There's what you see they allow you to see in 58 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: the open part of practice, okay, or talking about practice, 59 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: man and there was Kyler and oh boy, he wasn't 60 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: just throwing a football round Wilfley. He was taking a 61 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: drop and throwing a football. He was moving his feet, 62 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: he was chopping his feet and moving around and throwing 63 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: a football, which is more than he did this time 64 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: a week ago. So maybe, just maybe that is something 65 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: that foreshadows his re emergence on Sunday. Yeah, Polly, honestly, 66 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: right now, I hope you're right about that, because I 67 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: do want to see Kyler Murray. There's no doubt I 68 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: want to see Kyler Murray out there. I think it's 69 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: important that he gets out there. Even though the bye 70 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: is coming, I understand that. I still think it's important 71 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: that he gets out there if he can play. Now. Again, 72 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: it's not a situation where you want to risk Kyler 73 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: Murray for the rest of the season. But we're talking 74 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: about an ankle here. I don't think it is a risk, 75 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: and every player has got to make up his own mind. 76 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: It should be that way, Paulie. Every player has the right, obviously, 77 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: has the choice to determine whether or not he's going 78 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: to play based on the set of circumstances he's been given. 79 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: None of it has anything to do with being a 80 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback or not. It's just a personal decision that 81 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray has to make. Let's hope Paul that he's 82 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: able to play, and I'd love to see that going 83 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: into the bye because we all know what the Cardinal's 84 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: offense looked like minus Kyler Murray against Carolina. They had 85 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty nine total yards. They got out 86 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: first down, if you will, twenty four to eleven. They 87 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: got out rush one sixty six to sixty five. So 88 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: they were a team that got down seventeen nothing, they 89 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 1: got down twenty three nothing. So it was glaring and 90 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: apparent what they were missing without not only Kyler Murray 91 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: but d Hop. They're only legitimate number one receiver on 92 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: this roster, and Cliff Kingsbury was asked an obvious but 93 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: very important question about that this week. Those are two 94 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: of the best players in the league. So there's things 95 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: that they have to do to try and account for 96 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: both guys, whether it's Kyler in the quarterback run game 97 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,119 Speaker 1: each and every time he's handling the ball off or Hop, 98 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: you know, any type of one on one situation, and 99 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: so you're gonna get played differently when those two guys 100 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: aren't are out there, that's for sure. What did Chase 101 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: Edmonds told us the first week of his first training 102 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: camp two years ago. This is for Kyler Murray, he said. 103 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's an extra blocker in the run game. Sure, 104 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: because the defense asked to account for him running the ball. Yeah, 105 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,799 Speaker 1: no doubt about it, PAULI. But right there, what Cliff 106 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: Kingsbury said, Make no mistake about it, when DeAndre Hopkins 107 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray are out there. Let's just take d 108 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: Hop by way of example. Right now, what do you 109 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: think defensive coordinators? What do you think they prep for 110 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: all week in regard to playing the Arizona Cardinals. What 111 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: do you think they do? Polly? What's job one when 112 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: it comes to d Hop? Yes? No to the offense? 113 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: Stopping the Arizona Cardinals offense. Well, first of all, you 114 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: don't want Kyler Murray getting loose, right right. I would 115 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 1: say that's good, But I would say stop DeAndre Hopkins. 116 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: He's not going to. I mean, that is job one. 117 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: Every defensive coordinator has got to account for the fact. Okay, 118 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: it's Kyler Murray. I understand that Kyler Murray and Kyler 119 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: Murray running the ball, although he doesn't run the ball 120 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 1: nearly as much this year, and thank goodness that he 121 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: does not as we've seen in years past. Having said that, 122 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator comes in and says, we gotta stop 123 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins and that simplifies. That simplifies the defense for 124 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury when he knows that's what it defensive coordinator 125 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: is trying to do. It provides order when DeAndre Hopkins 126 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: is out there. It gives order to the Arizona Cardinals offense. 127 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: And not only that, it gives order to the defense 128 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: and what the defense is going to do because they're 129 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: not just going to single up somebody on d Hop 130 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: play after play after play. That's not going to happen. 131 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: So that brings a little predictability to Cliff Kingsbury in 132 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: the offense. Do you remember the last MVP in this town? 133 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: I don't Paul the guy. Guy by the name, well, 134 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: you can just call him two times Steve Nash. Remember 135 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: Steve Nash? I do remember Steve Nash. Do you remember 136 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: the moment when he clinched the MVP award? It's when 137 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: he was missing in mid January of that NBA season, 138 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: when you saw what the Suns looked like without Steve Nash. 139 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: I see, that's when you realize and appreciated the value. 140 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: Hence the Most Valuable Player Award to Steve Nash based 141 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: on what we saw last week. Kyler Murray, if he 142 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: truly is a leading contender for the MVP award, if 143 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: he comes back this weekend, when he comes back, and 144 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: if he's able to just pick up where he left off, 145 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: to me, that fortifies and strengthens his case to be 146 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: NFL MVP. It's a good argument, Paully, it really is. 147 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,559 Speaker 1: But Kyler Murray. I like what I'm hearing from Kyler 148 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: Murray right now. I like the fact it's going to 149 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: be his decision. I think we're gonna see Kyler Murray 150 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: on Sunday. This is just a gut feeling that I have, Paul. 151 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: Nobody has told me this. I'm not playing reading the cards, 152 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: so to speak, Polly, I'm not doing that. I will 153 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: tell you right now. It's just a gut feeling that 154 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: I have that Kyler Murray's gonna play, and I hope 155 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: he does. My gut feeling is the Cardinals will play 156 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: well on the road because that has been the norm 157 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: this year. They are five and oho, the only team 158 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: to score thirty plus points and allow twenty points or 159 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: fewer in every single road game. And Kyler himself was 160 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: asked about, Man, what is behind the Cardinals road success. 161 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: I just think, you know, the maturity in the locker 162 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: room and guys understand, you know what we're getting on 163 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: the plane to go do. And you know we've been challenged. 164 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: You know, we've heard all the talk all the year, 165 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: you know, before the season. I think the guys just 166 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: you know, have taken care of business and you know 167 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: they've been playing with a chip on our shoulder. There's 168 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: just something about the Cardinals on the road. Whether it's 169 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: going to Tennessee and the challenge is stopping Derrick Henry, 170 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: whether it's going to the Rams and eight no Sean 171 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: McVay against the Cardinals everybody now, whether it's going to 172 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: Cleveland without their head coach or going against the forty 173 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: nine ers without their quarterback, there's something about this team. 174 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: They're at their best. When you tell them, you know 175 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: what their best isn't going to be good enough in 176 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: some of these road challenges. That's when we have seen 177 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: their best football Yeah. You know what's interesting about it 178 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: as well, Paulie. So much of the time talent talent 179 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: in the Arizona Cardinals are very very talented offensively and 180 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: defensively as well. But talent and intensity at home sometime 181 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: isn't as acute as talent and intensity on the road. 182 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: Suddenly you're going into a strange village, Paul, You're going 183 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: into somebody else's encampment, so to speak, by the river, 184 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: and you're coming get it, You're taking over their village. 185 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 1: You love it. It is a challenge. You know, everybody, 186 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: the entire world is against you. You're going into foreign property, 187 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: foreign land, a foreign kingdom and taking their king Okay, 188 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 1: I'll come down. Well, okay, not nearly as dramatic a dance. 189 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: Joseph today saying that home games have been a struggle. 190 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: We got to figure out. My point, Paul is, when 191 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: you're on the road, man, the hair on the back 192 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: of your next stands off, especially in Seattle. There's a 193 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: reason they've won four the last six in Seattle. Jail 194 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 1: and Thompson is next.

And talk to some of the coaches, 211 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: they'd say the same, Bubby yeah, and he talked to 212 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: some of those same guys will also tell you, and 213 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: we've heard this from a few guys unprompted by the way, 214 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: that he's maybe the most underrated defender in the league 215 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: as well.

Talk a 222 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: little bit about your season. How is your season going? 223 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: How are you feeling about it personally? I'm feeling really 224 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: well about it. Obviously I got some things I need 225 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: to work on, but for the most part, I'm feeling 226 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: feeling real good about the season and feeling like I 227 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: need to finish strong. If we ask fans, heck, if 228 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 1: we just ask you, we got you. Where have you 229 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: made the most growth? You think this year or maybe 230 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: the last couple of years? Um, I feel like this 231 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: year personally, I made the most squirrels. Just being confident 232 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 1: going out there playing fast. I know what my job 233 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: and I know what I'm supposed to be doing. So um, 234 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: just me being intentional every day and going on the 235 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: right I know I'd be fine. So pretty much, just 236 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: the confidence, I'll say, coming into this season. Did you 237 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: have a specific goal in mind and would you be 238 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: willing to share it with us if in fact you did. Definitely, Um, 239 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: biggest goal for me this off season was just to 240 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: get strong. UM. I feel like I needed to get 241 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 1: a lot, a lot stronger, put on a couple of pounds, UM, 242 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: so I can be able to play in the box 243 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: a little more and do some of those things. UM. 244 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: Also helped with my tackling, as you guys mentioned. So, UM, 245 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: that was just the biggest focus for me this offseason. 246 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: And how did that go? Jalyn, Like, how much weight 247 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: did you put on? If Anny, Um, I came in 248 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: the season, probably I think I gained probably around like 249 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: ten pounds, around around eight to ten pounds UM. And 250 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: it's been going well so far. I can see it 251 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: translating on the sale on game day, so that's always 252 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: a plus. So you've actually gotten stronger as well in 253 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: the weight room. Oh, definitely, definitely this offseason was was 254 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: a was huge for me. I feel like, um, just 255 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: going in there every single day some uh sometimes even 256 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: more than you know what I mean, two to three 257 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: times a day and just going in there and do 258 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: what I have to do, get stronger for this season. 259 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: You know, he had Zach Allen on what last month, 260 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: right Wolf, and he said in his offseason because dance 261 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: Joseph talked about that today, how much stronger Zach Allen 262 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: is in his third year and how much of a 263 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: difference that has made. And Zach Allen was kind of 264 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: uncalled for, really, Jellen, to be honest with you, Okay, 265 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: he put on some really good weight and then he 266 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: reduced his body fat percentage. You know nobody, but he 267 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: said a big thing for him was hot yoga. Did 268 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: you do any hot yoga this offseason? Man? Any hot yoga? 269 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: But that's definitely something I can see Zach doing. Is 270 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: that za exactly? That's great? It's do you have any 271 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: unique training methods? I mean, is everything in the weight 272 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: room you know, nutrition or do you do anything out 273 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: of the norm? Uh? Pretty much not anything out of 274 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: the norm. Um, definitely not any high yoga going there 275 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: every day. I mean, just just the basic stuff. Nutrition 276 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: was also a big thing this uh this offseason as well. 277 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: It's just um helping my weight get it up and 278 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: you know, like I said, getting stronger and everything. So 279 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: how much right now, Jollen, would you say you're absorbing 280 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: this defense or has have totally absorbed this defense? How 281 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: much do you feel super comfortable in this defense right now? Definitely, 282 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: definitely the probably the most comfortable I felt in my 283 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: football career. UM and a defense. So, I mean, I 284 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: know the ins and outs of it. I've been getting 285 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: some extra working with my DV coaches to make sure 286 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: I'm I'm on top of everything. But for the most part, 287 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: that's just the biggest part is just um being attentional 288 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: and knowing the little things so I can go in 289 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: there and play fast. Who's making the calls in the secondary? 290 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: Who is that? Is that Buddha making the calls or 291 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: are you helping him make the call? Who makes the 292 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: call in the secondary? Um, it's definitely both of us. Um. 293 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: Whatever we see, whatever check we need to make, we 294 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: both echo it out and we both call it. And 295 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: that's just the biggest thing. I feel like that's special 296 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: with our defense this year is just the communication part. 297 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: Guys are echoing calls and just you know, we're all 298 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: on the same page for the most part. Imptant, you know, 299 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: And we shouldn't point out that also part of the 300 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: injury re port, we were talking a lot about Kyler 301 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: and de Hop. Obviously, Buddha Baker was downgraded today. He 302 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: did not practice with what's listed as a heel injury. 303 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: If he doesn't go in Seattle, And I know they'd 304 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: be a big ball for Buddha because that's where he's 305 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: from and in college you actually trained with some of 306 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: the Seahawks dbs and how much he looks forward to 307 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: playing that game and he's always phenomenal on the road 308 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: at Seattle. But how does it impact your job if 309 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: Buddha isn't in there jailin Um? I mean, I feel 310 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: like it doesn't impact my job too much. Obviously I'm 311 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: gonna have to step up if he is down and 312 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: and maybe you know what I mean, echo the calls 313 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: a little bit uh more often than I would usually 314 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: have to. But UM, I just feel like that's another 315 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: part that's special about this team is that we got 316 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: guys people are really really good, um and guys that 317 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 1: are you know, that's just the biggest thing our coach 318 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: is talking about is just no drop off, next person 319 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: up if that's the case. So I feel like we're 320 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: we're all good and that in that in that way 321 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: as a team. When when he says when Jalen says 322 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: that he's now absorbed the defense and he can react 323 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: right away. Right, it makes sense because he was a 324 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: supplemental pick. He came in right before camp, didn't have 325 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: a normal off season as a rookie, and then his 326 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: second year was COVID. He didn't have any offseason last year. 327 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: So I mean you were sort of behind the eight ball, right, Jial. 328 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: This is the first semi regular year you've had of 329 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: your career, correct, Yes, sir, Yes, sir. And that's just 330 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: uh And I have my hatstops and my coaches for 331 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: you know, sticking around and helping me out, you know, 332 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: the after practice and you know, just getting some extra 333 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: work in. And that's been a big, big help for me, 334 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: I feel like, in learning his defense and just feeling 335 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: comfortable in it. What have you learned from Buddha baker Man, 336 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: Buddha's taught me a lot of things. Mainly he's been 337 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: with the focusing just on the little things, you know 338 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: what I mean, the stuff that's gonna take me from 339 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: a great player to an elite player like him. So 340 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 1: I felt like just those little things that he's teaching 341 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: me to help me definitely, and I'm looking forward to 342 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: trying to do those things. How about open field tackling, 343 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,120 Speaker 1: I mean, you guys are both so good. I mean 344 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: in the ninety nine percentile of the NFL and open 345 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: field tackling. Is that just something you happen to have 346 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: in common or is that something you guys work on. 347 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: Did you pick up a few things from Buddha or 348 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: vice versa. I feel like that's just something that we 349 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: naturally just kind of have just in that to just 350 00:18:55,680 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: get the football down. But definitely me seeing Buddha all 351 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 1: these years, these couple of years I've been with the Cardinals, 352 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: UM has definitely changed my look on how I needed 353 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: to play and how I needed to go about things. 354 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 1: So I just seeing him and seeing how he does 355 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: certain things on the field and is tackling UM, I 356 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 1: know I got to step up and I got to 357 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: make those exact same plays when they come my way. 358 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 1: So that's just the biggest thing for me, is just 359 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 1: uh looking at him and seeing how he plays and 360 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: how hard he plays, and I know I gotta I 361 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: gotta play just as hard. Jay Len, I I think 362 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: you could be a pro bowler. I mean, at some 363 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: point in your career, I think you've got the talent. 364 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 1: I think you've got the ability to be a pro bowler. Um, 365 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: what do you what do you think is your strength? 366 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: If you had to pick one thing, what do you 367 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: think is your strength of the game in regard to 368 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: playing safety. Um, I feel like I'm just an instinctual 369 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: type of player, and I feel like that's something Buddha 370 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: has as well. UM diagnosed exactly, We diagnosed the plays 371 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: and we can and we can see girls something that 372 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: we can see and just react to it really fast, 373 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I feel like that's 374 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: I feel like that's really one of the biggest strengths 375 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: for me. And like you said, open field tackling and 376 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: doing stuff like that, I feel like that's also a 377 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: big part of my strengths as well. Byron Murphy had 378 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: something to say about y'all get to that in a moment, 379 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: open field tackle. Take us through an open field tackle. 380 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: It's Sunday. Tyler Lockett catches a quick swing pass. Right, 381 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: there's open space between you and Tyler Lockett mcgi is 382 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: lightning quick. What are you telling yourself? Well, how do 383 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: you what enables you to make that tackle in space? Um? Really, 384 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: just what we do in practice, And like I said, 385 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: I know I keep bringing it up, but it's just 386 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: the fact of being intention intentional with everything that we do. 387 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: So when we're in practice, we practice on tagging off 388 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: on the hip every single day and that's just focusing 389 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,199 Speaker 1: on his hip and making sure that we got the 390 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: right angle to make that tackle so that when we 391 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: get in game day, it's just it's just you know 392 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's no thinking about it. We just react, 393 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: like I said, So, Um, that's just the biggest thing 394 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: is I feel like it starts in practice. Jaylen, talk 395 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: to me about what you think happened last week against 396 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. What do you think happened last week defensively? Um, God, 397 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: it was a lot of It was a lot of 398 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: stuff that happened. Um. Obviously, we didn't start fast enough 399 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: like we wanted to. Um. And that's just all our 400 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: coaches teach to start off fast and and and in 401 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 1: fast and in that same way. So I felt like 402 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 1: we didn't start as fast as we wanted to. But 403 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: I feel like we definitely play hard all the way 404 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: to the end. So UM, credit to our defense for that. 405 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: All Right, Well, we'll see how the Cardinals respond in Seattle. 406 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: Here's a Byron Murphy sees in you in your game 407 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: and the growth overall. Because Byron Murphy was asked about 408 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,959 Speaker 1: Jalen Thompson today. He's funny because like sometimes when we're 409 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: in the film room, we will watch a play like 410 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: just can I get a call? Can I get a call? 411 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: And we're just like j T, come on, bro, We're 412 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 1: just all laughing about it. But yeah, he's growing. It's just, 413 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 1: you know, just saying those type of questions in the 414 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: film room make you really think like he's actually trying 415 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: to see what the other sex he's doing, so they're 416 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: on the same page and all those little detailed things 417 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: that we got to run in our defense. So it 418 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 1: sounds like you're thorough in the film room. Is that 419 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: what I'm taking away from that? Definitely intentional, intentional with 420 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: everything that I do, Like what sort of question would 421 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: you ask? Like if we like, what sort of question 422 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 1: would you be prone to ask in a film room session? Um, 423 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: it's always different types of questions I'll ask kind of 424 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: just playing playing around with the calls a little bit. 425 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: It may be a guy that motioned I may at 426 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: the room what do we do right here? Uh, just 427 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: so that everyone's on the same page, you know what 428 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: I mean, the communicate his own That's the biggest thing. 429 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: I feel like if we're if we're all wrong, we're 430 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: all right, even if we do mess up the call, 431 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So, Um, that's just the 432 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: biggest thing is making sure they're all on the same page. 433 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: What kind of confidence do you think you have inside 434 00:22:54,640 --> 00:23:00,360 Speaker 1: that locker room right now? Um, I mean I have 435 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: could have a lot of confidence, and I know the 436 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: guys have a lot of confidence in me to get 437 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: my job done as well. And that's just the biggest thing. 438 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: Everybody being thorough every single day and trusting the guys 439 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: next to them to be able to get that job. Now, 440 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about Seattle when we come back. We're 441 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: going to talk about what has gone well against those 442 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 1: two Pro Bowl caliber receivers, what has not gone so 443 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: well when they face Seattle. We know overall the Cardinals 444 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: have done real well at Seattle, having won four of 445 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: their last six. Speaking of DBS, episode eight of Cardinals 446 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 1: Folk Tales entitled Money Mike's Redemption available now in the 447 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: Cardinals YouTube channel that's YouTube dot com slash Azy Cardinals 448 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 1: look back at the crazy two thousand and nine Wildcard 449 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: game and now the smallest guy in the field made 450 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: the biggest play. And you can check out the original 451 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: audio podcast as well wherever you get your podcasts. We 452 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: continue with a big red rage the roppolo back to 453 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: pass rows over the middle behind the attendive receiver, and 454 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: a diving interception at the five yard line. It's Jalen 455 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: Thompson with a pick. I think Jayalen Thompson is just 456 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: scratching the surface of what he could possibly become. Quick 457 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: bro over the middle. It's broken up at the forty 458 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,360 Speaker 1: yard line, incomplete by Jalen Thompson. Made a good play 459 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: breaking on the receiver. You watched Jalen Thompson right there 460 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: lined up in the slot. That was just what a 461 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: quarter would typically do. The way you broke on that slam. 462 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: You know, if you said it earlier, a potential future 463 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: pro bowler. And if you've watched every snap of every 464 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: game this season, you not people know exactly what you're 465 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: talking about. Jalen Thompson, And think about it. He missed 466 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: so much of last year with injury. It's really his 467 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 1: second year in so many ways, and just look at 468 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: the playmaker he is and what a plus he's been 469 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: for Vance Joseph and Jalen Thompson is our guest and 470 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 1: the big red rage bit of a career montage right there. 471 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: But you know what, you never took us through your 472 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: interception against Carolina. I think it was third and eleven, 473 00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: as Wolf said, it was sort of a blitz bay 474 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: all and three or four guys Rush seven or eight 475 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: went into coverage and take it from there. Jayalen, and 476 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 1: how the interception came to be against Carolina, Man, Um, 477 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 1: like you said, Uh, we're showing a pressure. Look guys 478 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,919 Speaker 1: bailed out. Um looking at the quarterback up eyes the 479 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: whole time and seeing the ball come out. I just 480 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 1: made a made a good play on it. But I 481 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: felt like it started in practice this whole week. Um. 482 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: I stayed after it was on the jug a little bit, um, 483 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: making sure that my hands were good because I knew 484 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: I kind of felt like one was going to come 485 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: this week and it came, so um blessed to have 486 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: to have a second interception infl Jalen, how about this 487 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: middle of the field or box? Which would you prefer? 488 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: Oh Man, Um, I like being in the middle of 489 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: the field, but definitely the box you see a little 490 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 1: bit more action. So um, I mean it's it's it's 491 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: tough for me. I like playing both. I like playing both. Yeah, 492 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: you're glad you don't have to choose right exactly? How 493 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 1: often are you reading the quarterback's eyes? It may be 494 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 1: a simpleton one on one question, but can you get 495 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: away with that when it's a Russell Wilson or an 496 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Not too much with those guys. Those guys 497 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: are really, really, really good quarterbacks. But those guys you 498 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 1: gotta stay plastered on your man. You know, they can 499 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: make some stuff happen with their feet as well. So 500 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 1: with those types of guys, you there's not a lot 501 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: of room to do that with. You know, Jaylen, I 502 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,199 Speaker 1: don't have to tell you this, but as you know, 503 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks are going to be a desperate team 504 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: three and six right now. It's almost like, especially in 505 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 1: the NFC, you can't afford to go to three and seven. 506 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: There's a big difference between being four and six on 507 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: the season and three and seven right now. You're gonna 508 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: get the Seattle Seahawks best, are you? Guys? Talking about 509 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 1: that amongst yourselves. Oh, definitely are coaches that definitely made 510 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 1: that have been known, Um that we are going to 511 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 1: get their best and that from here on out, the 512 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: weeks are not going to get any easier. So, UM, 513 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 1: we're just trying to take a day by day and uh, 514 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: you know, come out with that mentality that that we're 515 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 1: going to get their best shot. So we got to 516 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 1: bring our best shot as well on game day. First 517 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: shutout of Russell Wilson's career, that's seventeen nothing loss at 518 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,959 Speaker 1: Green Bay. Oh, give us a quick step. What are 519 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: you telling Marco Wilson, for example, about Russell Wilson. He's 520 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: a rookie, his first encounter with a Pro Bowl quarterback. Um, 521 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: like I said, just stay stay plastered on your men, 522 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,479 Speaker 1: just do your job. For the most part, quarterbacks like 523 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: like him and you know Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, guys 524 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 1: like that. Uh, there's no room for error. So we 525 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: have to be, uh, be on our job and do 526 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: our job, and I think we'll be okay. You've been 527 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: watching tape obviously of Russell Wilson for the last few 528 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,959 Speaker 1: days here, talk to me about what you're seeing in 529 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: terms of him pulling the ball down and running. Is 530 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: he doing it as often as we've seen him doing 531 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: the past? Um? I mean, I feel like he's still 532 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: doing it a little bit. Um. But he has playmakers. 533 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: He has playmakers at receiver everywhere, obviously Tyler Lockett, obviously 534 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf and uh good tight ends. Um. So they 535 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 1: have playmakers everywhere. So he sometimes doesn't even have to 536 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: do that for the most part, but definitely when they need, 537 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,959 Speaker 1: when they need a big player, I know he will. 538 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: He will do that. So, um, we have to be 539 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 1: alert for that and have to be ready for that 540 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 1: as well. Well. Here's Vans Joseph asked today about what 541 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: he expects from the Seahawks offense. Watching him last week, 542 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: they threw forty passes that they had thirteen runs. Maybe 543 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: that's not their formula, you know, So I'm expecting heavy run, 544 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: you know, a heavy dose of Obviously Russell in in 545 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,479 Speaker 1: fourteen and sixteen and with Chris Carson back, I mean, 546 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: that's a that's a tough big back. Tell you. Whatever 547 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: Green Bay did defensively, it worked. Tyler Lockett and DK 548 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: Metcalf had five catches combined on six sixteen targets. Think 549 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: about that guys, and then DK Metcalf at the end 550 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: lost his mind, he got ejected, he tried to get 551 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: back on the field. And but you don't have Patrick 552 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: Peterson this year, who has been very effective against DK 553 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: Metcalf the last couple of years. You look at the 554 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: last four games DK Metcalf against the Cardinals, he only 555 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: has six catches on fifteen targets. So how do you 556 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: account for the absence of Patrick Peterson? And you know, 557 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: Bayern Murphy talked about it today, but it's obviously a 558 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: big question on Sunday, right Jalen definitely, I mean Patrick 559 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: Peterson was definitely a guy that a great player to 560 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: have on our team, and he did all the right stuff. 561 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: But this year, I mean, we we have we have 562 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: guys in our team that can get the job done 563 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: as well. Marco Wilson very confident cornering in going into 564 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: this season and I'm looking forward to see what he 565 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: can do this week as well. Byron Murphy, you know, 566 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: he's been having a great season. So um, I feel 567 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: like it's gonna be a good matchup, It's gonna be 568 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: a good test, But I feel like if we do 569 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: the right stuff, it shouldn't be a problem man. Watching 570 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: those two receivers on tape, I can't imagine. I mean, 571 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: these are guys who canna run, right do you? Who 572 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: do you think is faster? Jay? Is Tyler Lockett faster? 573 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: Or d K back at? I gotta go to I 574 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 1: gotta go with DK. I mean he ran that track 575 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: meet and I think he ran like what ten ten 576 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: four or something like that. I don't know. That's a 577 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: big man running yard Jayalen, Yeah, year super Fa. Well, 578 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: remember what Buddha said after last year's game. Buddha said, 579 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: That's the first time in my life I've ever been 580 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: caught from behind. So you don't But but other than that, 581 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: he really hasn't done much. Now. Tyler Lockett just the 582 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,479 Speaker 1: opposite Jalen. Uh. Those two games last year, Tyler Lockett 583 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: had four touchdown passes and he had twenty four catches. 584 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: So what has to change against Tyler Lockett this year? 585 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: We just gotta lock in lock into our jobsism And 586 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: obviously a guy like that is really hard to stop. 587 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: So he's he's definitely gonna get his catches. But um, 588 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: we just gotta we gotta try to make as best 589 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: as we can to try to just do our jobs 590 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: so that best are of our ability. Jayleen's obviously you 591 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen on Sunday here, But 592 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: what do you think they're gonna try to do to 593 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: you guys? Defensively? What do you think they're gonna try 594 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: to do? I mean, well, like like coach VJ said, 595 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: I mean they threw for they threw forty passes last 596 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: week and ran the ball with thirteen to fifteen times. 597 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: I could see them trying to come out there and 598 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: do heavy, heavy, random plays, you know what I mean. 599 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: But obviously we don't know what they had played, so, 600 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: you know, but that's our job. We got to be 601 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: ready for anything that they do. So I feel like 602 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: we're well, we will be ready. You know. Maybe the 603 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: only guy on the Seahawks roster who had a really 604 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: good game against Green Bay was their star safety Jamal Adams. 605 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: He had eleven tackles, he had a pick. I know 606 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: he'd love to have his contract. Who wouldn't. How often 607 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: do you study other safeties in the league, and maybe 608 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: do you follow Jamal Adams? I mean I look at 609 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: safeties all the time. I look at just football all 610 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: the time, and a lot of the safeties are really good. 611 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: But it's like I said, it's good having a vet 612 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: safety in the room right next to me in Buddha 613 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: and a guy that's a all pro pro bowler and 614 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: just you know what I mean, just top see one 615 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: of the top safeties in the league right now. So 616 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I'll follow other guys and not seeing how 617 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: they're playing the game as well. But really, when you 618 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: got a guy like that sitting right next to you, 619 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, that's really the guy I look 620 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: at for the most part. So talk to me about 621 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks in terms of how they run the ball. 622 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: What are you seeing on tape right now? Because I 623 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 1: agree with you, I think the Seattle Seahawks are gonna 624 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: try even though they've got DK back half, even though 625 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: they've got Tyler Lockett. I don't think they're gonna throw 626 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: the ball forty times in this game. That's just me. 627 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: But if I'm right on that, give me a little 628 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 1: scouting report on what you're seeing in regard to the 629 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks and how they try to run the ball. 630 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: I mean, great offensive line. M guys are getting pushed 631 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: pushed back. They're pushing back defensive line. And you know, 632 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: great backs, great physical backs. They run hard and they 633 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: can make anybody miss. So we just got to come 634 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: in there and just do our job. Carson will be 635 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: back this week. Great physical back as well, runs hard, 636 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: So you gotta come in this week and really focused 637 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 1: on getting him getting him on the ground. After the 638 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: Carolina game, and we're on board with Jail and Thompson, 639 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: by the way, Cardinals stand out safety and number of 640 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: Cardinals players talked about how the team was flat against Carolina, 641 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: and I opened the show Jail and by saying, you 642 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: know what, if you need a remedy for that, a 643 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: road trip to Seattle is what the football doctor ordered, 644 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: because you guys go in there and you know, just 645 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: tell folks who've never been there, A visiting team just 646 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: gets amped up, do they now with all the noise 647 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: and the twalls and just the atmosphere.

I've been to 649 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: a couple of games, a couple of Seattle game when 650 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: I was in college at Washington State over there, so um, 651 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: you know, they're always jumping over there. It's gonna be 652 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,800 Speaker 1: a hostile environment.

Byron was 665 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: playing insane against this as well. So, um, for those 666 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 1: guys to be on my team now, I mean, it's 667 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 1: it's pretty cool, you know what I mean.

All right, Well, I'll tell 675 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: you what you can get your revenge through the Heckler 676 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: guy behind the Cardinals bench with all the signs. Maybe 677 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: we'll sick him on on Buddha and Byron Murphy. Now, 678 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 1: thank you, Jail. We appreciate it, Ti Man.

Oh my goodness, great, great, 681 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 1: great guy to visit with, great guy to watch. I mean, 682 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 1: what a pleasure to watch him play ball this year. 683 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: Correct just getting better and better and better. And he's 684 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,359 Speaker 1: not done getting better. He's continuing to grow. That's one 685 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,760 Speaker 1: of the reasons why I see Pool Bowl in the future. 686 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 1: As Van shows have said, no Buddha, no jail in 687 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: those six yard runs become twenty six. Right after this, 688 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 1: Murray and Shotgun has the football short set, throws a 689 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: deep ball left side, single coverage and it is pulled 690 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 1: in by DeAndre Hopkins and he's got a touchdown. Just 691 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: want to throw by Tyler Murray. I want a catch 692 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 1: by Nuke to put the Cardinals on the board. With 693 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: two thirty nine to go on the first Duke was 694 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,799 Speaker 1: one on one great throw by Kyler Murray, but an 695 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: even better read touchdown. We said it's gonna be Russell 696 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,439 Speaker 1: Wilson or Kyler Murray, whoever plays better, That's who's gonna 697 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 1: win this game. Snaps to Murray and he keeps it himself, 698 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 1: running left, got a defender with him at the five 699 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,240 Speaker 1: breaks it tackle, dives, ball comes out, but he crossed 700 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 1: the plane. Touchdown. Kyler Murray. Somehow subway found a way 701 00:36:52,400 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 1: to get that pig across Peter Big time play Kyler Murray. Well. 702 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 1: They split the season series a year ago, and fittingly 703 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 1: the Cardinals and Seahawks. They seem to do that almost 704 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 1: every year, although typically it's the road team winning at 705 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: the other team's venue, as the Cardinals won four of 706 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 1: their last six at Seattle. Seattle has won six of 707 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 1: us last eight in the a Z. Kyler Murray going 708 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,959 Speaker 1: against Seattle. If he goes for the fifth time, would 709 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: you believe Ron Wolfee? This will be the nineteenth time 710 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,359 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals have faced Russell Wilson since he came 711 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: into the league, and since he came into the league, 712 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks after a loss have the best win 713 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 1: percentage in the NFL. So with Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll, 714 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 1: they rebound. Now, that has not been the case so 715 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 1: far this year. They lost two straight, they lost three straight. 716 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 1: They're one and three at home. But you just saw 717 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 1: a forty nine ers team that the Cardinals left oh 718 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,320 Speaker 1: and four at home. And what they do they rebounded 719 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 1: by Jack stopping the Rams the other night. Yeah, I 720 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 1: know you're right about that, Paul. I really do under 721 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: what we're going to see up in Seattle. I know this, Paul. 722 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 1: I know that they are going to be a desperate 723 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 1: team and there's no denying it. I mean, think about 724 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: it right now, Paul, just say it out loud. Three 725 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 1: and seven, four and six, three and seven, four and six. 726 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 1: It just the difference is palpable, and especially when you're 727 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,959 Speaker 1: talking about going up in front of the twelves. Here's 728 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:28,720 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. You're desperate. You know that the Arizona Cardinals 729 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,400 Speaker 1: are coming in here on top of the NFC West. 730 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,960 Speaker 1: This might be your season, This might be your best 731 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:39,279 Speaker 1: chance to turn your season around. I think it's good. 732 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 1: We were talking to Jayalen Thompson. He was telling us 733 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 1: that these guys are talking to each other, meaning the 734 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 1: players in the locker room are talking to each other 735 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 1: in regard to this game and what you expect to 736 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 1: see from the Seahawks. They're gonna come out swinging Paul 737 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: in all three phases because to me, they know this 738 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 1: is their season. Pete Carroll has already started down this road, Paul, 739 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 1: with some of the things he's been saying about the officials, 740 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 1: in the officiating in the last game that they played, 741 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 1: I think he's already trying to plow the road for 742 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 1: this game. You know. It's amazing. At three and six, 743 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 1: they're only a game and a half out of the playoffs, right, 744 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 1: so they're right there for that seventh and final playoffs spot, 745 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 1: and now they go in. Here's the thing. But seven 746 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 1: is three and seven, Bulls, that's a hard That is 747 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,759 Speaker 1: a hard road to hoe right there to get back 748 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 1: in it. Absolutely. And the Seattle defense, okay, since Week 749 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 1: four they ranked fourth in scoring d their top five 750 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 1: and third down defense. Okay, Bobby Wagner is still among 751 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:44,320 Speaker 1: the league's leaders and tackles. But this Seattle offense, especially 752 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 1: in Green Bay Wolf, I mean, it was horrendous. The 753 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,440 Speaker 1: first shutout of Russell Wilson's career. He can talk all 754 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,720 Speaker 1: he wants about that finger and come out the surgery, 755 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 1: but the stats are not kind as to how inaccurate 756 00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 1: he was, how he was overthrowing receivers and and they 757 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 1: just got nothing going. Dk metcalf after the game saying, 758 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,239 Speaker 1: you know what, we got to get the ball to 759 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 1: the playmakers more. Well, you threw it forty times. Yeah, 760 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 1: there were only eleven rushing attempts by running backs, which 761 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 1: typically has not in Seattle's offense. Yeah. No, you're right 762 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,800 Speaker 1: about that, Pauli. And that a lot of that, I 763 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:20,719 Speaker 1: think has got to do with the fact they don't 764 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,239 Speaker 1: they're not in love with their running backs that they 765 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,719 Speaker 1: have back to there and Chris Carson. Of course you 766 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 1: had to Pete Carroll talking about the possibility of him 767 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,479 Speaker 1: returning this a day ago. He was actually talking about 768 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,400 Speaker 1: the fact that it doesn't look good now Chris Carson, 769 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 1: and that really is a big blow to them because 770 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 1: they don't have a back like Chris Carson. Paul So 771 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,239 Speaker 1: that Mike linebacker Jordan Hicks here was his take when 772 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,440 Speaker 1: asked about going against Seattle and Russell Wilson. We're expecting 773 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,239 Speaker 1: a dog fight. You know, anytime Russell's a quarterback, they 774 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,279 Speaker 1: always have a shot. They're getting Carson backs, so you 775 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 1: know they're gonna probably trying to run the rock. So 776 00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 1: you know, we're expecting especially defense, Lea, we're expecting it off. 777 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter who you play. If you come 778 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 1: out like you did against Carolina and you have turnover 779 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,799 Speaker 1: gets cashed in, another turnover gets cashed in, you fail 780 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,920 Speaker 1: on a fourth down and essentially another turnover, and you're 781 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 1: down three scores by the end of the first quarter. Yeah, 782 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 1: look out, And you know better than anyone Wolf how 783 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,440 Speaker 1: that momentum can build in a can steam roll if 784 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,400 Speaker 1: you let the Twelves get into the game and the 785 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,640 Speaker 1: Seahawks give a little momentum, little confidence, something they haven't had, 786 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,160 Speaker 1: especially coming off the first shutout loss in a decade. 787 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,440 Speaker 1: It could get ugly. No, it could get ugly, no 788 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,719 Speaker 1: doubt about it, Paulie. But once again, you have to 789 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 1: remember too, stop and think about it. The Green Bay 790 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:39,479 Speaker 1: Packers ran the ball. They beat the Arizona Cardinals, first 791 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 1: loss of the season for the Arizona Cardinals. And then, 792 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,000 Speaker 1: of course they watched the film of the forty nine 793 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: Ers game. Okay, the forty nine Ers ran the ball 794 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,160 Speaker 1: eleven times, maybe, in my opinion, made a huge mistake 795 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,880 Speaker 1: not trying to run the wall. Guess what they lost 796 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,120 Speaker 1: the game, the forty nine ers. And then of course 797 00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,359 Speaker 1: the Cardinals played the Carolina Panthers. They ran the ball. 798 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: Guess what they won the game. So to me, when 799 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,560 Speaker 1: you look back at the last three games the Arizona 800 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,879 Speaker 1: Cardinals have played, and that really typically is what any 801 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 1: NFL team or opponent would do. Look at your last 802 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 1: three games in particular, they're gonna see run the ball win, 803 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 1: don't run the ball lose, Run the ball win. I 804 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:22,880 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be an easy decision. They're gonna have 805 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:27,040 Speaker 1: to try. Even with DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, they're 806 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,600 Speaker 1: gonna try to run the ball in my opinion. All right, 807 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 1: you may have just answered the question I was going 808 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,920 Speaker 1: to pose because Vance Joseph said something today that was 809 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 1: sort of cryptic, and he said, and I'm quoting loosely, 810 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 1: we've figured out our formula as coaches to win. We've 811 00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,400 Speaker 1: lost two, and both of those losses look very similar. 812 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 1: As a coaching staff, we know what works well and 813 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:52,720 Speaker 1: what beats us. And again those two losses look very similar. 814 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,879 Speaker 1: That's advanced. Joseph said, Yes, what do you think their 815 00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,360 Speaker 1: takeaway should be as a coaching staff, what do you 816 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:03,360 Speaker 1: think the common denominator is in those two losses, man, Polly, honestly, 817 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:07,719 Speaker 1: the inability to stop the run? Yep, that right, Paul 818 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 1: I would agree, that's what I think. It's got to 819 00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:13,799 Speaker 1: be what he's talking about right there, just the inability 820 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 1: to stop the run. And I was really discouraged too 821 00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 1: when I saw a couple of forty fours out there, 822 00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,960 Speaker 1: and you know the way I laugh when I see 823 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 1: the four linebackers against thirteen personnel, one back, three tight ends, 824 00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 1: and to see that eight man box get gashed on 825 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:37,200 Speaker 1: a couple of those runs by Christian McCaffrey, that was heartbreaking. 826 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,600 Speaker 1: You weren't the only one, Zach Allen told the media 827 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 1: after the game. He said, that was especially disappointing that 828 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: we were in run defenses, We had run stopping fronts 829 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,879 Speaker 1: out there, and they still got to the second level untouched. Yes, 830 00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,440 Speaker 1: and he cited in particular a trap play that Carolina 831 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,360 Speaker 1: showed for the first time all year that they had 832 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 1: not seen on film, and Zach Allen followed it up 833 00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,879 Speaker 1: by saying we're gonna see that again. You don't see 834 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 1: a lot of traps nowadays, Paul, so put that in 835 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,319 Speaker 1: to coach Double Rainbow put it in a trap play 836 00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 1: this week. Yes, I believe Paul to answer your question. 837 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 1: You know what, more than anything else, Paully, it's got 838 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,719 Speaker 1: to be their intensity level. They gotta be ready, they 839 00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,000 Speaker 1: gotta come out, They've got to know what it is 840 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,879 Speaker 1: they're gonna face. It's gonna be a dawn fight. And well, 841 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,080 Speaker 1: I don't know what else is gonna happen in the game, 842 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,960 Speaker 1: but I feel pretty darn good after seventeen years going 843 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,040 Speaker 1: to Seattle and being on that Cardinal sideline. It is alive. 844 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,000 Speaker 1: As jail and Thomps said, it is popping on that 845 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:38,160 Speaker 1: Cardinals sideline when you go to Seattle, just the atmosphere alone. 846 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,840 Speaker 1: So I don't expect energy to be a problem, Paully. 847 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:45,319 Speaker 1: This could be just what they need right now.
