Speaker 1: Here Queen go one hand to catch to a touchdown,

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 1: baby ptfield. Here's Craig Griolu, three time pro bowler, Kyle

12
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: Vandenbosch and thirteen year NFL veteran Drew Stanton. Quick look

13
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: at the NFE the NFC standings this morning. As I

14
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: struggle here right out of the gate, that's much like

15
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals slow starts here on Tuesday. But if

16
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: you look at the current NFC West standings, gentlemen, every

17
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: single team is two and two, and Kyle, we can

18
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: thank the San Francisco forty nine ers for that. After

19
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: they beat the Rams last night. I'll be honest, it

20
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: was completely rooting for the forty nine ers in that

21
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: contest because now going to week five and it's basically

22
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: a reset after the first quarter of the league of

23
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, we're in good shape right now, I mean,

24
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: tied for the leading the division. Um, it looks like

25
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: it's wide open. I mean, the Rams are are struggling.

26
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: They're not a finished product. The Niners have been inconsistent

27
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: weekend in week out, and you know, tied with a

28
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: Seattle team that's better than we thought but is definitely

29
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: not you know, they're not a dominant team. They're not great.

30
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: So here we are, you know, four weeks in and

31
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: you know we're sitting tied at the top and um,

32
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: you know, still just right around the corner. We got

33
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins coming back, We're getting players back off of iru,

34
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: and the team is playing itself into better football overall, though, Drew,

35
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: you look at the league, fifteen of the thirty two

36
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: teams are two and two. Now, I'm sure Roger Goodell

37
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: loves that, maybe the individual teams not so much, but

38
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: it does show how much there is balance across the league. Well,

39
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: I think you look at a lot of moving pieces

40
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: that happened in the offseason, right, And then you look

41
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: at what happened in preseason, and typically you see offenses

42
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: behind anyways, but offenses are far behind the ones that

43
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: are clicking on our all cil owners or ones that

44
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: have continuity or have a stable head coach, quarterback, offensive

45
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: coordinator system in place. And then you look at these

46
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: things and it always comes down to turnovers. Right. That's

47
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: why the Cardinals were able to win this past weekend

48
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: is because they were very good in situational football, they

49
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: were very good in complementary football, and they were also

50
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: great in the turnover ratio. This week though, they're dealing

51
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: against the league leading four and oh plus eight turnover

52
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: ratio Eagles, And so what do you do now? And

53
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: again we talked about it the wrap up show on Sunday.

54
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: No matter how this season started for the Cardinals, there

55
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: was going to be skeptics. There was going to be

56
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: skeptics across the ward and they remained skeptical until December comes.

57
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: But this team has dealt with adversity. They've done a

58
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: nice job of that. This defense, which we weren't necessarily

59
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: to rely on to be the strength, has been the strength,

60
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: and you know there is reinforcements coming with DeAndre As

61
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: Kyle was talking about. This offense is figuring itself out.

62
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: It's starting to be able to do this a lot

63
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: of different moving pieces. But there is some encouraging signs

64
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: from this defense because these turnovers are coming in bunches,

65
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: They're getting after the quarterback as a collective whole. There's

66
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,119
Speaker 1: many signs to point to optimism within this division. It's

67
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: just it's far different than we ever imagined one month

68
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: ago at this time, it was the defense that led

69
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: the Cardinals to a victory on Sunday in Carolina, final

70
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: score twenty six sixteen. But before we get into nuts

71
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: and bolts in that one, it's what happened before the

72
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: game even began. In fact nine fourteen am Arizona time,

73
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: about forty five minutes before we hit the air with

74
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: the NFL Kickoff Show, and JJ Watt, in his own words,

75
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: breaking his own news that on Thursday he quote had

76
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: his heart shocked back into rhythm and then now three

77
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: days later, Kyle, He's on the football field. Certainly a

78
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: shock to a lot of us, but JJ Watt mentioned

79
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: repeatedly that it was something that he was not going

80
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: to do any more damage. He was assured by a

81
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: number of different people that he could play if he

82
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: wanted to. He did play, and he played very very well. Yeah.

83
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: You know, he showed at the end of last year

84
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: coming back as quickly as he did from that injury,

85
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: how important it was to be on the field, how

86
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: much it means to him to be there for his teammates,

87
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: how desperately he wants to contribute to either the successes

88
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: or be there with his teammates if there is failures.

89
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: You know, oftentimes we forget the human side of some

90
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: of these stories, and this is just another example. I mean,

91
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: it's not your typical injury. It's it's something that's potentially um,

92
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: life altering, life threatening. And then when you factor in,

93
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: I mean we can all attest to um. You know,

94
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: the probably the biggest change in how you live your

95
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: life is when you have your first child and the

96
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: fact that he he has, you know, a son on

97
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: the way. You could see the emotional side of him. UM,

98
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: when you know, it's not just football anymore, it's not

99
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: just dealing with injuries, it's dealing with something, um that's

100
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: a little bit more serious and potentially, um, you know

101
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: it can be scary and in life altering. Well, it's

102
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: here from J. J. Watt addressed the issue pregame via

103
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: social media. Post game, JJ Watt standing in front of

104
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: reporters and discussing the decision to play with a newborn

105
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: on the way. For months, we've been looking at ultra

106
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: sounds of our baby boy and they're all extremely happy.

107
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: And first day we were looking at ultra sound. In

108
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: my heart it was it was very tough. It's been

109
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,679
Speaker 1: it's been a week. It's been a week. But happy

110
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: to be You're happy to uh yeah, I mean it's

111
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: been tough, you know it was. It's just weird. It's

112
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: just weird. I have a baby on the way. He

113
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: also mentioned that he was certainly not happy that the

114
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: story was leaked, and that's why he went on social

115
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: media to announce it before it was reported. And I

116
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: believe it was Jake Laser on Fox that was the

117
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: one who put it on those pregame shows. Kyle, You've

118
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: played with a number of injuries, but this this is

119
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: different than a broken bone, a pulled muscle. This is

120
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: this is your heart. And I'll give him credit for playing.

121
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: I just don't know if if I'm in that situation,

122
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: I could have done what he did. Yeah, I don't

123
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: know how many people would. Um. You know, like like

124
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: you just mentioned, it's not your typical ankle sprain, it's

125
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: it's not a shoulder Um that you can manage through

126
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: a game. You just don't know. UM. And you know,

127
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: a lot of credit goes to the Cardinals, A lot

128
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: of credit goes to the doctors involved. Um you know,

129
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: the due diligence that was that was done before this

130
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: game to make sure that everything was going to be okay. UM.

131
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: You know, I guess he was given assurance by by

132
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: many doctors and many experts that um, you know, there

133
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: would be no further risk by playing in the game.

134
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: And UM you know, but still, um, you know, all

135
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: of this happened fairly late in the week. UM, and

136
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: like you could just hear the weight of the decision

137
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: and how hard it was for him. UM. And again,

138
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: football players are you know, the thing that separates them

139
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: and makes them different is um, their ability to deal

140
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: with adversity, to deal with pain, to push away outside

141
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: distractions and just focus on the task at hand. UM.

142
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: But saying that, UM, you know again, like he said

143
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: it was. It was a week. It was he had

144
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: a lot going on. It's not your typical preparation week

145
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: dealing with all of those not distractions, but you know,

146
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: scary distractions and being in a hospital and getting put

147
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: under two to have your heart shocked back into rhythm.

148
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: Speaking of adversity, this team continues to play from behind

149
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: Drew and it was the case on Sunday, trailing ten

150
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: to three at halftime before the offense finally woke up.

151
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: We're four games now, when that's a nice sample size,

152
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: you're a quarter away into the regular season. Cardinals still

153
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: have not scored a point in the first quarter. They

154
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: are minus fifty in the first half. Yeah, you can

155
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: beat the Panthers, maybe you can have a miracle comeback

156
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: against the Raiders, but that is not going to happen

157
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: against the Eagles on Sunday, don't you know. And you

158
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: have to get it figured out. You have to identify

159
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: what it is. And again, I think it just is

160
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: a matter of getting eleven guys on the same page.

161
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: It's a matter of getting a script where Kyler feels comfortable.

162
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: I know that was one thing when I was starting

163
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: the handful of games that I did is I was

164
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: able to go say, Okay, this is my favorite play action,

165
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: this is my favorite bootleg, this is my favorite quick game,

166
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: this is my favorite shot play. So you try and

167
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: get them all up within the first fifteen and maybe

168
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: it's a matter of that. I don't really know how

169
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: they're operating within those confines. But at the same time,

170
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: Kyler needs to settle in. He needs to take charge

171
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: play the first half like he has the second half

172
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: because he's done such a good job. And I don't

173
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: know if that's adjustments, I don't know what it is.

174
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes we get a namer with the fact that the

175
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: big plays aren't hitting, but the run game and sticking

176
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: with the run game is so so important. You can

177
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: never win a game in the first half. It's not possible.

178
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: It's what you have to do in the second half.

179
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: And yes, he would love to start fast. They have

180
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: not been able to do that, but they need to

181
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: do that this week. And again, I think it just

182
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: comes with continuity, staying the course and worrying about the

183
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: stuff you do have control over. Kyler scored all three

184
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: of his touchdowns in the second half, two passing scores

185
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: and a rushing touchdown. Plus say Matt Prador field goal,

186
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the Cardinals had a twenty

187
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: six to ten lead. It finishes twenty six to six team.

188
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: Speaking to the Cardinals quarterback here, he is post game

189
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: on once again starting slow, you know, slow start on

190
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: the road felt great. I just think, you know, third downs,

191
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: we didn't exeq well early, and then you know, we

192
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: came back in a halftime. You know, nobody was down,

193
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: nobody was pressing anything like that. After all, you know,

194
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 1: I throw pick six, fought adversity, defense, played a hell

195
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: of a game, finally kicked it in gear. Come second half.

196
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: I found our rhythm, which is part of the you know,

197
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: I think that's part of the problem is we haven't

198
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: there's no rhythm at the you know, the beginning of

199
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: the game. It's it's um. You know, we're kind of

200
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: just we're sleep walking out there. You know, that's what

201
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: it feels like. Sixth quarters since we touched felt brand

202
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: new to be an end. Zoe, It's crazy. Yeah. The

203
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: Kyla Murray to zach Ertz score and the third quarter

204
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: was basically which tied the ball game up, and that

205
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: was the first offensive touchdown scored since the fourth quarter

206
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: at Las Vegas, So you have to well the way

207
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: back to Week two. Bottom line, though Cardinals do get

208
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: the job done. They improved to two and two. Head

209
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: coach Cliff Kingbury on being five hundred after the first

210
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: quarter of the year. Yeah, I feel two and two,

211
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: Like I think that was the whole mission going into

212
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: this week. Whatever it took, and it was not pretty.

213
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: And then we still haven't hit our stride on offense.

214
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: There's no doubt you've seen spurts and talked to the

215
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: guys to day. We have the talent, have the effort,

216
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: but we haven't put it together coaching or playing yet.

217
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: And so that's got to come soon, and he's come

218
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: this week. If we're gonna have a chance. You can

219
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: see these guys, it's gonna be a talking point all

220
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: week long, Kile, in addition to the home struggles. But

221
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 1: this team has to find a way. You don't need

222
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: to score on the first possession, but you do need

223
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: to be able to put points on the board in

224
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: the first fifteen minutes of a game. No, you're absolutely right,

225
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: and it needs to be fixed. We keep talking about

226
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: you know this can't continue, and you know, thank goodness,

227
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: the defense came out, started the game with a ton

228
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: of energy, played fast, played physical, and didn't let this

229
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: game get out of hand. You know, another possible statistical

230
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: anomaly is this week you're going up against the Philadelphia

231
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: team that scored eighty five second quarter points, which is

232
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: astounding through four games. So you know, you can't get

233
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: off to a slow start or you may fall too

234
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: far behind to have a comeback like they have twice

235
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: this year. So you know, they've they've got to find

236
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: like Kyler said, they've got to find that rhythm. They've

237
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: got to find the have the ability to move the chains,

238
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: particularly early in a game, so that you know you

239
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: can at least build off of it. You can set

240
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: things up. But when you're just going three and out,

241
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: three and out, four and out, five and out, whatever

242
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: it is, you're getting no flow, you're not setting anything up.

243
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: You're not able to read how the defense is playing

244
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: certain things to make the proper sideline adjustments. So you know,

245
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: I think again, if there's a key to winning this game,

246
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: it is the offense just has to get off to

247
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 1: a faster start. And you know, I guess that's pretty

248
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: obvious with how these first four games have gone. Cardinals

249
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: on Sunday, talking about the offense went three and out

250
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: twice in their first three possessions. The one time they

251
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: did not, they turned it over on downs on that

252
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: ill advised which Cliff brought up postgame. Put it on

253
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: his shoulders. The jet sweep to Rondel Moore on fourth

254
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: down and they turned it over deep inside Panther's territory. Cardinals,

255
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: though again get the win twenty six to sixteen because

256
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: of that defense. And that's where we'll go next here

257
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: on the Cardinals Red Sea Report presented by a Seki

263
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: about a two and two Arizona Cardinals team because of

264
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: its defense. That's next here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

265
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: Mayfield takes the snap handoff McCaffrey off the left side,

266
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: saving column, put the tackle. Put it Baker in there

267
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: as well. He didn't get it. David Collins was there

268
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: first for the Cardinals, and then Golden and Baker on

269
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: the takedown. Bayfield and Trouble steps up and sack by

270
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: Zach Allen back at the twenty yard line. Mayfield looks

271
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: Tea throws left side more behind him. Tip been picked

272
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: off by Jalen Thompson of the nineteen yard line. Mayfield's

273
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: gonna throw Pettitt in the air again, this time by

274
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: Allen Pettit's in complete. Cardinals takeover on downs snap to

275
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: Mayfield to quick throw right side toplicted pick off. It

276
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: was tipped on the far side and intercepted by car

277
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: Deck at the twenty inside the tenant, out of bounds

278
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: inside the five. J J Want tipped it into the air.

279
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: Car Deck picked it off. Here's what the defense accomplished

280
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: on Sunday season highs in total takeaways and interceptions, then

281
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: allowed season lows for total points, offensive points, first downs,

282
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: third down percentage, total net yards, rushing yards, net passing yards,

283
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: average yards play, and time of possession. And they did

284
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: that all on the road in Carolina. Cardinals get the

285
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: win twenty six sixteen because of the defense and their

286
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: efforts on Sundays. We walk me back here to the

287
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: Cardinals Red Sea Report presented by Seek Your Ticket to

288
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: Great Seats Craig Rail and Drew Stanton and kylev N

289
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: and Bosh And we'll start with the defense to standouts

290
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: amongst the three of us. So I Drew, Kyle, what

291
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: did you make of the effort by Vans Joseph's team

292
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. I know the Panthers

293
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: not world beaters on offense, but still they are a

294
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: capable NFL team. Yeah. I thought it was a masterful

295
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: game plan and execution of that game plan. It looked

296
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: like the defense came out. I mean, they were certainly

297
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: ready for this game. Like I mentioned earlier, they looked

298
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: like they were playing faster, playing more physical. You know

299
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: again for three straight weeks to limit the best player

300
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: on the opposing offense. They did an incredible job against

301
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey got some garbage yardage in a touchdown late

302
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: m You know again, Um, you know. The encouraging signs

303
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: moving forward is um, some of these younger players are

304
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: starting to play well. Zaven Collins I thought played his

305
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: best game of the season. Um. You know, Isaiah Simmons

306
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: was in their forty three snaps, which was a big increase.

307
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: So you know, he's obviously playing more consistently down in

308
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: and down out. You know, Trey von Mullin starting to

309
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: get some snaps at corner with you know, you've got

310
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: Antonio Hamilton coming back. So, um, this defense, you know,

311
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: even though they played a really good ball game, there's

312
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: there's certainly reason for optimism going forward that um, it's

313
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: either going to continue or you know, they're going to

314
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: even play better. Um with some of these younger pieces

315
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: and getting healthier on the defensive side of the ball.

316
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: And a lot of those players, though Drew are in

317
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: the same system for multiple seasons, whether it's two or

318
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: three vans Joseph here now continuity on the coaching staff

319
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: and the same system. And yeah, it might have taken

320
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: a little while, but this defense I think now understands

321
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: its purpose and the individual roles on that defense. Yeah,

322
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: I mean they're playing as a unit most importantly, right,

323
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: they're in the right space, They're doing all the things,

324
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: and it's a sophisticated defense. You see how they try

325
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: and double guys are trying to do different things. They

326
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: change this post that picture. Guys can't be out of alignment.

327
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: They've got to be all moving as one and it's

328
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: got to happen right at the snap of the ball,

329
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: and guys have to get to their alignment and their assignment.

330
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: They have to be able to do all these things.

331
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: And that's what I think is so impressive. Right if

332
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: you look at the eight batted balls that they had,

333
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: especially up front, they're getting pressure on the quarterback, they're

334
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: doing it in different ways without having to blitz. You know,

335
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: the number of blitz percentage that we saw that week

336
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: one is not sustainable and you saw what happens when

337
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 1: guys can handle the blitz. So and saying that you

338
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: can manufacture pressure a lot of different ways, knowing the

339
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: team that you're going up against against, very very impressed

340
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: by advanced Joseph of what he did schematically, because Ben McAdoo,

341
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: even when he was in New York, right, everything's quick game,

342
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: it's agnet it's very mundane of how they go about

343
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: doing it. They just try and do it very very well.

344
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: So in saying that you shut down the rush, you

345
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: get your hands up, you are able to do that.

346
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: You affect the game that way and you madden them

347
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: and shortened drives down and keep them off the field.

348
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: I mean, anytime that you can keep Christian McCaffrey to

349
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: twenty seven yards rushing, and they had been rushing the

350
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: ball really well, right, you make them one dimensional bit

351
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: taking away what they do best. That's a huge win.

352
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: They've got a tough task of that this week. McCaffrey's

353
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: lowest rushing total since twenty nineteen, the twenty seven yards

354
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: he gained on Sunday. And you talk about the eight

355
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: passes defense, five of those from Zach Allen and J. J. Watt.

356
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: In fact, here is head coach Cliff Kingsbury on the

357
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 1: young defensive end, Zach Allen playing in a contract year.

358
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: He's a guy that just has gotten bigger, stronger, faster,

359
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: has really worked at his stick around here and trained

360
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: with Buddy and been here. One of those guys have

361
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: done taken off season, really just stays here and works.

362
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: And I think coach Park has been really good form.

363
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: His style of coaching and technique really fits Zack's game

364
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: and he's really come into his own And J. J.

365
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: Van here has helped me to be able to learn

366
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,959
Speaker 1: from that gay how he plays and the intensity that

367
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: he practices and works out has definitely helped him in

368
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: addition to the three passes, defense, six tackles, one tackle

369
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: for lost, one sack, two quarterback hits. And this is

370
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: something that I think the Cardinals have been waiting to see.

371
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: But they've been waiting for Zach Allen to be healthy.

372
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 1: And I think he is finally healthy after a couple

373
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: of off seasons dealing with injuries and then working on

374
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: his body getting stronger, and you're seeing the benefits of

375
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: the past two off seasons. Yeah, he's turned himself into

376
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: a difference maker. You know, watching him. His production was

377
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: a bit quieter through the first three, but he was

378
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: active and he was winning. I mean, even going back

379
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: to the opener against Kansas City, he was doing a

380
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: phenomenal job in the pass rush. He was getting pressure,

381
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: he was getting back there, just wasn't able to finish.

382
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: And so it was so good to see him have

383
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: that type of game where he really was a factor

384
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: in the outcome of the game. And I loved, you know,

385
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: going back to not just his play, Zach Allen's play,

386
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: but advance Joseph's game plan. You know, I heard Zach Allen,

387
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: I heard JJ Watta heard Buddha Baker talk about how

388
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 1: they made it a point of emphasis all week to

389
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: get your hands up because you know he has a

390
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: low trajectory and the ball comes out low. You know,

391
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: paying attention to small details like that. It might not

392
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: seem like much, but you can see how it affected

393
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: the game. I mean, to get a knockdown on third down,

394
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: to tip a ball in the air that causes an interception.

395
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: Those are huge game changing play. So it's not always

396
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: about getting sacked. It's not always about getting pressure on

397
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback. It's also about being a smart player. When

398
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: you are stymied at the line of scrimmage and you're

399
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: not winning your pass rush, get your hands up and

400
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: try to get it in a passing lane and try

401
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: to affect the pass that way. Batted balls are going

402
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: to happen. Drew but five at the line of scrimmage.

403
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: How frustrating is that as a quarterback when you know

404
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: it's you're gonna have some tight throwing lanes, and all

405
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden, every lane you thought you might have,

406
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: there's a right hand, there's a left hand. There might

407
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: be a couple hands up in the air that is

408
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: also affecting what you want to do with the football. Yeah,

409
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: it's extremely hard, right, That's part of what happens when

410
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: you try and do so much quick game or these RPOs.

411
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: Right of understanding, that's how that ofference kind of generates.

412
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: Their quick game is through that. So you shut down

413
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: the rush, you get your hands up. That's an extremely

414
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: high number. That's something that is advantageous for this defense

415
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: to be able to do it because it stalls, drives out.

416
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: Those are incomplete passes. You're not able to do anything

417
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: with those, and they were very timely when they came up,

418
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: especially so and saying that kudos Again, the devil is

419
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: in the details of how they go about doing it,

420
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 1: and Van's Joseph being able to point that out identify

421
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: that is key because those are little things that games

422
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: within the game that will ultimately allow you to go win.

423
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,719
Speaker 1: And of course, the challenge this week a very good

424
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles team, which we'll talk about here in a moment,

425
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: but four games end of the season. It's not a question,

426
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: Kyle that this defense is the story as far as

427
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: why this team has won two ball games. And I

428
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: don't think a lot of us expected that here in

429
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two Yeah, the expectations, like you talked about,

430
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: were low just because of you know, the investment. No

431
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: big name free agents were brought in. You know, you're

432
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: depending on draft picks that came a little bit later

433
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 1: in the draft to contribute. So, you know, you just

434
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: kind of thought that the offenses score a ton of

435
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: points and the defense was going to do just enough

436
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: to win games. And what we're seeing is the opposite.

437
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: And again, a tremendous credit goes to Vance Joseph, it

438
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: goes to the players on this defense. I mean you're

439
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: seeing I don't know that I've witnessed players improved so

440
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: much from week one to week four. Because week one,

441
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: it looked like players were out of position, misaligned, We're

442
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: trailing players in coverage. You know that, it looked like

443
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: we still had deficiencies in the run game. And then

444
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: here we are week four and it looks like none

445
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: of those problems exist anymore. Zaven Collins, how much is

446
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: that part of the improvement? That fourth down stop? He

447
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: blew up the guard made the tackle along with Marcus

448
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: Golden to stop McCaffrey for no gain on that first possession.

449
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: I thought that I thought that set the tone for

450
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: the rest of the ball game. No, you're absolutely right.

451
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: That was a huge stop. And you know he's always

452
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: been big, fast, physical. Now he's trusting his eyes, he's

453
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: seeing the right things. He's pulling the trigger much quicker,

454
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: he's getting off blocks quicker, all these things that you

455
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: know we've been talking about really through the preseason games.

456
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: He just needed reps. He needed time on the field,

457
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: he needed live reps against the real offense to be

458
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: able to recognize things and improve. And you know, all

459
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: indications of Zavin Collins is he's he's a student of

460
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: the game and to get things on tape and recognize

461
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: what things he's good at, what things he needs to

462
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: continue to work on. Obviously, that's paid huge dividends for

463
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: him because I think, you know, there's a lot of

464
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: players that have improved since last season, but he has

465
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: improved the most. End season, I think, especially on this defense,

466
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: a second year player drew and sometimes it's hard to

467
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: be patient with these young players because you get drafted

468
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: in the first round and everyone expects immediate results. I mean,

469
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: that's what the investment is to be ready week one year,

470
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: first year, and for some of these players, for Zaven Collins, specifically,

471
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: he's already matched his or surpassed his tackle total from

472
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: last year here through the first four games of this season. Yeah,

473
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: and you look at training camp, right, you didn't know

474
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 1: what to expect with both of these landbackers, right, both

475
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 1: these first round draft picks are saying, Okay, what are

476
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: we going to do? How are they going to fit

477
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,959
Speaker 1: into the mix here to be able to help us

478
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: go out and win because you've got to hit on

479
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: those first round picks. Those draft picks have to be

480
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: difference makers, especially when there were so many question marks

481
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: at corner or who they're going to get for pass rushers,

482
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: all these things, right, there were so many question marks.

483
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: Those question marks are starting to diminish with Zavan Collins.

484
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: He's showing it up on film. He's able to learn

485
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: from the film as Kyle was talking about, He's getting

486
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: guys lined up, he's playing faster, he is making an

487
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: impact exactly as you would hope he would. And sometimes

488
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: that just takes a little bit of time. It could

489
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: be as simple affect as you know what everybody kind

490
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 1: of got off his bat because they're like, where did

491
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons go? When is he out here? And Zavan's probably,

492
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: oh God, he could probably just exhale and go play football,

493
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: because everybody's not wondering why he's not out there. So

494
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: in saying that, you know, like it could be something

495
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: as simple as that, or he's just getting better. He's

496
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: getting reps. And the biggest thing you need to have

497
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: as a young player is a desire and a hunger

498
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: to get better. And he's said that time and time again.

499
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: He understands it as a process and the process is

500
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: paying off for him. Isaiah Simmons, we've talked about him

501
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: a couple of times. Forty three of the fifty two

502
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: defensive snaps eighty three percent. Overall, he had played just

503
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: thirty one snaps who passed two weeks combined. So maybe

504
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: the light bulb has finally clicked with Isaiah Simmons and

505
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: now you've got those two big, tall trees, as the

506
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: head coaching general manager ever talked about now in the

507
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: middle of the defense. Of course, again, the challenge this

508
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: week is the Philadelphia Eagles, which will touch on momentarily,

509
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: but there is some more work to be done talking

510
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: about the offense and what Hollywood Brown continues to do here.

511
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: Early in his Cardinals career. As we have hit halftime

512
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: here on the Cardinals Red Sea Report presented by Seeking

513
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: Your Ticket to Great Seats. We continue here every Tuesday,

514
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,240

515
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. Third and two on the twenty

516
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: three for the Panthers, snapped to Murray got a throw

517
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 1: and it's a fate right side for Crown in the

518
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: end zone. Brown hawsing in and it's a touchdown. What

519
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: are catch by? Hollywood does a snow angel on the

520
00:26:55,880 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: ground in celebration after just a phenomenal for probably the

521
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: dagger in this ball game. That is a flat shovel

522
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: to the face of the Carolina Panthers. Six catches, eighty

523
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: eight yards for Hollywood Brown once again showing that quarterback

524
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: wide receiver chemistry and it was on full display Sunday

525
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,760

550
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: down the Week four contests and that Hollywood Brown touchdown catch,

551
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: the great throw, great catch, and the quarterback wide receiver chemistry.

552
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: We talked about it since Hollywood was brought in acquired

553
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: on April on Draft night, and we're seeing here. Maybe

554
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: they didn't see it week one, but Drew, we are

555
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: now seeing that Kyler Murray Hollywood Brown teammates at Oklahoma.

556
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: They know each other and that nonverbal communication where it's

557
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: just a quick glance, head nod, hand signal and all

558
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden, doesn't matter what anyone else is doing,

559
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: that ball is going to go to number two. Yeah.

560
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: I mean, sometimes the coverage dictates that what you're able

561
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: to do. But I think you also see the comfort

562
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: level and there's certain guys that you you just feel

563
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: more comfortable throwing to them. You have a better feel

564
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: for what they're going to do, how they're gonna get

565
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: in and out of stuff, where the ball location can go,

566
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: they're catch radius, all of those things. I mean, the

567
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: guy that comes to mind when I was here for

568
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: Cardinals fans was John Brown. He was just easy to

569
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: throw too. He was very friendly to the quarterback, He

570
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: understood concepts, he was so fast, that he had so

571
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: much cushion that you could throw underneath rots to him,

572
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: You could throw speedouts to him, you could do all

573
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: these things and people will be running for the hills.

574
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: And then if they squatted at all, you also know

575
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: you could put it out their way out in front

576
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: of him because he was going to go get it.

577
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: So a guy like that that you just automatic gravitate towards,

578
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: and then you quite honestly, there's the other ones that

579
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: it's a struggle where you're like, okay, they break down here,

580
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: they don't come out of the route as quickly. It's

581
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: so hard to throw to them. And you know, as

582
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: a quarterback when you've been around this league for a while,

583
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: you can identify those guys that you just don't have

584
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: a field form, so you need to get a ton

585
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: of reps. And there's everything in between. This is not

586
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: that case. This is the case where they were together

587
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: in college and they are so comfortable that yes, to

588
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: your point, almost to a fault. At times, Kyler's looking

589
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: over there saying, okay, yeah, I've got exactly what i

590
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: want pre snap. I'm gonna go ahead and take this

591
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: as opposed to maybe getting a first down underneath the sticks.

592
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a shot here, I'm gonna go for

593
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: a touchdown. I'm gonna go for a lower percentage throw,

594
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: but in his mind it's not a lower percentage throw

595
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: because of the connection. They have eleven targets on Sunday

596
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: and right now, Hollywood Brown third in the league and

597
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: catches seventh in receiving yards. And it's great. You don't

598
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: have a DeAndre Hopkins, so you need that number one

599
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver and we're all wondering what it's gonna look

600
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: like talking about the offense when d hop comes back.

601
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: But just to have that Hollywood Brown, a young wide

602
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: receiver that you hope now can grow within this offense,

603
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: not just this year but years to come. Yeah. Absolutely,

604
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: And you're seeing, Um, you're seeing the trust grow and

605
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: that that's been huge for Kyler Murray since he's been

606
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: in the league. He finds players that he trusts um,

607
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: and he will continue to look to them. UM. And

608
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: you know last week's game, UM, you know a lot

609
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: of his catches he he were um the underneath throws,

610
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: that what they were giving him. But what you're seeing

611
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: is Kyler starting to develop trust when he is covered,

612
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: when he has those fifty fifty balls when when it

613
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: is contested, m and Hollywood Brown keeps catching those balls.

614
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: So UM, you know you can expect him to continue

615
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: to target him. I mean you see that relationship with

616
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: Kyler and zach Ertz. Um a player he trusts and

617
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: continues to look to UM, and it's going to continue

618
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: to grow with Hollywood Brown. And like like you said, Um,

619
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: you know you've got weapons coming back on offense. They're

620
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: working Rondel Moore in UM. You've got Antoine Wesley coming

621
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: off of are and then you've got Dhap coming back

622
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks. And you know, the hope

623
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: is that this offense begins to look like we expected

624
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: it to look like from the beginning. You bring up

625
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: zach Ertz. He was targeted six times, six catches forty

626
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: seven yards and the other touchdown the two that Kyle

627
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: Murray had on Sunday, one went to Hollywood, the other

628
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: one to Zach Brown. Zach Ertz, excuse me as a

629
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: little country music there for you drew right there where

630
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: you like that chicker fry. Bottom line, though, the offense

631
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: able to do what they were, getting the game back

632
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: to their side as far as coming back from that

633
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: ten three halftime deficit because of the defense. Here is

634
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: head coach Cliff Kingbury. I thought defense playing so well

635
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: in the first half allowed us not to get too

636
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: far behind where we had to just kind of scrap

637
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: it and go two minute or get into different things

638
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: to really push the pace, and that helped. We rushed

639
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: the ball like that. We're a better football team, and

640
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: I thought our O line really battled a really good

641
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: front all day. Brings up the rushing attack the Cardinals

642
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty two on thirty seven carries. There's

643
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: that thirty mark. Cardinals are undefeated of the last two

644
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: years that ten and oh when they hit that magical

645
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: thirty carry mark. But it was Connor. It was James Conner, Eno, Benjamin,

646
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: Darryl Williams, and Kyler Murray all in the mix to

647
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: keep it balanced. As far as running in football, yeah,

648
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: and we talked about the red zone runs for Kyler,

649
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: I love. I think that it's good because it was

650
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: inside zone, it was outside. They were very creative and

651
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: that's where you want to take advantage because you don't

652
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: have to worry about him getting hit as much. He's

653
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: not as much Harm's way. If he's pulling it out,

654
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: it's good. You love to see that rotation. I'm sure

655
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: all the fantasy owners that have James Connor aren't happy,

656
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: but I believe it was Naimia Hines. It said players

657
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,719
Speaker 1: don't play the game for fantasy football, so and saying

658
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: that you see the wins, you see the effect when

659
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: they can get to that number as high as it is.

660
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: It just controls the game and it isn't sexy. It's

661
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: none of the things that anybody likes in football, except

662
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: for the offensive line coaches that exist in the running

663
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: backs coaches, because you're established in the run and it

664
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: does open up those bigger plays, those chunk players that

665
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: were so desperately wanting to see from this defense. And

666
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: that's a trend in the NFL. These ben but don't

667
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: break the style of defenses are trying to hold all

668
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: of these elite wide receivers at bay. They're trying to

669
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: do all these different things. I think one thing that

670
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: wasn't really talked about the fact that Jeremy Chin went

671
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,760
Speaker 1: out early in that game, and losing a pro safety

672
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: like that has a huge effect on a defense because

673
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: now you have to try to change things up, you're

674
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: not as comfortable as going on. They did a great

675
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: job of attacking what they wanted to do offensively, and

676
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: once you achieve that balance, you start to open up

677
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: the entire playbook. Cliff likes to use the word hot

678
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: hand when it comes to the running backs, but I

679
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: think we might see Kyle a little bit more of

680
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,280
Speaker 1: that rotation because you do want to keep James Conner fresh.

681
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: You went into that game with a knee issue the

682
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: week prior, it was an ankle issue. But if you

683
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: use him more in short yardage and then sprinkle in

684
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,720
Speaker 1: and Eno Benjamin and Daryl Williams in addition to Kyler Murray.

685
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: I think if this team can run the ball on

686
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: a consistent base, is that sets up everything else. Yeah.

687
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of talk coming into the season,

688
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: what is this offense going to look like? How are

689
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: they going to get through this stretch without DeAndre Hopkins.

690
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: Um and a lot of us thought with the talent

691
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: at tight end, the talent in the running back room,

692
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 1: UM that that they were going to run the ball

693
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: and control the clock. Well, they've done a great job

694
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 1: of controlling the clock. I think um time of possession

695
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: they've probably, um, you know, they've dominated a couple of

696
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:31,280
Speaker 1: these games. But what you're seeing when this offense can

697
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: either has a lead or is in the game and

698
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: able to stay balanced, You're seeing two and three tight

699
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: end sets at times. You're seeing two running backs in

700
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 1: the backfield at times. Um, you're seeing an offense UM

701
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: that isn't as predictable, an offense that m is effective

702
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: on the ground. And you know, to me, we saw

703
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: this through the first stretch of last season over and

704
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: over when this team was really clicking and really playing well. Um.

705
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: You know, one of the most impressive things is their

706
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: ability to exec to four minute drill. And they did

707
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: it again at the end of this game with you know,

708
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: the game wasn't in hand, but James Connor ran the

709
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: ball five times in a row, got two first downs,

710
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: and then you were just able to kneel and run

711
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: the clock out. And that's huge to be able to

712
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: execute that and do it in NFL games. Also need

713
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: to bring up when we talk about the tight end,

714
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: bring up rookie Trey McBride had his first three catches

715
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: on Sunday, played a lot of snaps and now all

716
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: of a sudden there's a new weapon that you're sprinkling

717
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: in along with Rondel Moore, first game back after the injury,

718
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: making his season debut. So we'll see what happens this

719
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: week when the Arizona Cardinals hosts the Philadelphia Eagles, and

720
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:43,879

735
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: those ball faces. You're watching him up here and you're like, Okay,

736
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 1: does he have it? Does the running back habit? Minnesota

737
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: Vikings defense wandering the same thing among quarterbacks. Jalen Hurts

738
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 1: leads and rushing touchdowns and has the second most rushing yards.

739
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: And that is what awaits the Arizona Cardinals defense on

740
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: Sunday when they'll host the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles led by

741
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 1: quarterback Jalen Hurts. Eagles four and oh, Cardinals two and two.

742
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: And that highlights Kevin Harlan Kurt Warner on Westwood One,

743
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: flashing back to Week two when the Eagles beat the Vikings.

744
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: That game, by the way, coming up this weekend one

745
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,720
Speaker 1: twenty five is the kickoff. So eight thirty am pregame

746
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: coverage begins and we begin our discussion. Here Drew talking

747
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: about Jalen Hurts. It's his third year. He ranks first

748
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: in yards per attempt, eighth in completion percentage. He is

749
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: played very very well. Cardinals have not seen him since

750
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. In his second career starting, He's going to

751
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: be a much different looking quarterback than what the Cardinals

752
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: saw two years ago. Oh, he's got completely different weapons

753
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: as well. Right, if you look at what they're doing offensively,

754
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: number two in the league in yards, I mean, they

755
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: are absolutely dominated. And Kyle's old defensive coordinator, Gunther Cunningham

756
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: in Detroit, used to always look at that stat yards

757
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: per attempt was the biggest indicator he thought in his

758
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: mind of what was telling of how they played. And

759
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: when you're number one in the league, you're doing something, right,

760
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: That number, I think, if I remember correctly, was seven.

761
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: Anything over seven is a long day for the defense.

762
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: So I'd be curious, do you have his next gen

763
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 1: stat there? What is it? Nine point one? I mean

764
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: that's tremendous. Yeah, so you see that, and only not

765
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: only that, they're playing great, complimentary football. He's only throwing

766
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 1: two interceptions. Those are the only two turnovers. They have

767
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 1: ten takeaways on defense. And also I think a top

768
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: five rated defense, maybe number three something along those lines.

769
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: They are playing really, really well. They're dealing with a

770
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: little bit of injuries. Guys are banged up. Darius Slay,

771
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: who's an elite corner in this league, went out of

772
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: the game. If he comes back to their slot, corner

773
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,919
Speaker 1: of Ante Maddox missed last week with an ankle. Their

774
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: offensive line, their Muler's up there. The offensive line coach

775
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: was my offensive line coach at Michigan State, phenomenal techmnition,

776
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: one of the best offensive line coaches. And you're dealing

777
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: with Travis Kelsey or Jason Kelsey, sorry not Travis Kelsey.

778
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 1: That was probably nightmares for Cardiff fans and Lane Johnson.

779
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: And you look at what they're able to do. There

780
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: is an identity, a pride that they have. They're banged

781
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: up too, who is going to plug and play there?

782
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: But they're skill players and Jalen Hurts is playing as

783
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: well as anybody in this league right now at that position.

784
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: Running back Miles Sanders, wide receiver A J. Brown, Titan,

785
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard. So it's not just Jalen Hurts, but they

786
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 1: have surrounded him with talent and young talent to build

787
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 1: what they hope is, you know, a team that makes

788
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs and has a nice long run in the postseason. Yeah,

789
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,399
Speaker 1: it's an offense that can beat you a lot of ways. Um,

790
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: you know this past week they had inclement weather m

791
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 1: and they kept the ball on the ground and beat

792
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:51,439
Speaker 1: a good Jacksonville team, and you know, coming into the game,

793
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,439
Speaker 1: they they lead her I think they still do lead

794
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: the league in explosive plays, which is a challenge for

795
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 1: for any offense. So um yeah, I mean, you know,

796
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 1: Vance Joseph is going to have his hands full this

797
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 1: week because this this is a really good offense. And

798
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 1: you know, you it's not a situation where if you

799
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: shut down their best player, they've got nothing and they're

800
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: going to be scrambling because like you just alluded to,

801
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: they have multiple ways to beat you, and they have

802
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: a lot of talent on offense. And the key, as

803
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: Drew just said, is is they have a tough, physical

804
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 1: offensive line that you have to deal with up front.

805
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: Four no and four hundred total yards of offense, and

806
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 1: each of those four wins. The challenge what to do

807
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: with Jalen Hurts. Here's head coach Cliff Kingsbury. He's tremendous,

808
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: I told her staff. I mean, he's one of the

809
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: best decision makers in the league as far as where

810
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: to go with the football, win to throw it, when

811
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: to Tuckett, when to you know, make plays. And he's

812
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: always been a winner. I mean I remember recruit him

813
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: in high school and legendary work ethic. Whether it's in

814
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 1: high school at Alabama or No Philly. You hear stories

815
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 1: of how ladies there and how hard he's working, and

816
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: it pays off tremendous talent. They've done a great job

817
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: building that offense around him, great old line, great skilled

818
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: position players, and he's really operating at a high level.

819
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: Let's not they'll forget about the defense, Kyle, because number

820
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: three in yards allowed, tied for ninth and points allowed,

821
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: number one in takeaways, number one in sacks, and they

822
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: have forced the most three and outs. So that is

823
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: something now on the challenge for head coach Cliff Kingsbury.

824
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: It's not just an offense that has led the Eagles

825
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: to this four and oh start. They've got a very

826
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: very good defense, good defense, and they're really good on

827
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: special teams as well. I mean, it's it's it's a

828
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: complete team. You know, a familiar name that's playing really well.

829
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: Sun Reddick has he had two sacks trips in the

830
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: last game. The last two games, he's got three and

831
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,959
Speaker 1: a half sacks and three four humbles. You've got Jordan

832
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,800
Speaker 1: Davis who wiled everybody with his forty at the combine.

833
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 1: But He's a big, physical player inside. That's going to

834
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: be a problem to deal with in the run game.

835
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 1: Drew talked about how good they are in coverage, in

836
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: the talent they have at at cornerback, So yeah, I

837
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: mean this. You know, we talk about how challenging their

838
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 1: offense is, but their defense, the way they're playing is

839
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 1: equally is challenging. And it's gonna be gonna be a

840
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: challenge for Cliff and Kyler to come up with a

841
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 1: game plan and execute it and get get some yardage

842
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: and touchdowns against this team, particularly early in the game.

843
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 1: Let's not get too carried away though. They beat the Lions,

844
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 1: that's your former I know, yeah, both of our former teams,

845
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 1: and they're they're on pace to give the most points

846
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 1: ever in NFL history. They beat the Commanders, and everybody

847
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: knows what Carson Wentz is about, right, and then they

848
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 1: created four turnovers for a Jaguar team that's much improved.

849
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 1: They went on and they put it on the Minnesota

850
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: Vikings after they came on. So again, they are a

851
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 1: very good football team. You have to respect them. But

852
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: I think this game plays very well into the Cardinals

853
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: hands of what they've been able to deal with and overcome,

854
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: and they're ready to really set the hair on fire

855
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,839
Speaker 1: and come out with a win. This offense is at

856
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: its best when they are distributing the ball to everybody,

857
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: much like the Eagles are. Who Ever can get involved

858
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: and keep everybody involved and keep defenses off their heels,

859
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: because both of these teams are doing tremendously well on defense,

860
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: that's the team that's going to have the most success.

861
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: Whichever quarterback turns the ball over and tries to do

862
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: too much, they're the ones that are gonna behind the

863
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: eight ball and have a difficult time trying to win.

864
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: Eagles spot of the Jaguars fourteen points in that first

865
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: quarter go on to win twenty nine to twenty one.

866
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: Cardinals cannot spot the Eagles fourteen points in the first quarter.

867
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: That's just me. I mean, they need to get off

868
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: to a fast start, especially with how well the Eagles

869
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 1: run the football and their talent and the running backs

870
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: and offensive line. Like we talked about, you get too

871
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 1: far behind the Eagles, They're just going to grind it

872
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 1: out on the ground again. One twenty five is the

873
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: kickoff eight thirty am. Pregame coverage begins, and of course

874
