So 19 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,639 Speaker 1: is there anyone having more fun right now than Buddha Baker. 20 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: He's excelling on the field and he's excelling off the 21 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: field as well. M jazz I saw this a week ago, 22 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: it was in the paper. Didn't make a big deal 23 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: out about it. It's no one's business. But it was 24 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: brought up to the Cardinals safety today about his multi 25 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 1: million dollar purchase a brand new house, and at first 26 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: Bakers kind of joked around a little because I don't 27 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 1: know what you're talking about, and then laughed it off 28 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: and said, yes, he did make the purchase, but not 29 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: holding any house parties at the moment because of COVID 30 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: nineteen protocols and restrictions. But maybe next year Buddha Baker 31 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: will be the center of attention as far as Holmes 32 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: in that area well. And he also said that he 33 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: didn't put the house in his name, so he's wondered 34 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: how that got out there. Now. Obviously, if you're real, 35 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: literally you want everyone in the world to know you 36 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: sold it to a football player and similar neighborhood as Kingsbury, 37 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: And it sounds like Cliff wasn't aware of it, but 38 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: he did say, you know, the market's going up with 39 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: Buddha moving in the neighborhood. I don't you know, you're 40 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: not supposed to root for players, but I just enjoy 41 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: listening to him talk and just said smile. And there's 42 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: a lot of guys on this team. Like I asked 43 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: Larry yesterday, I don't think there's a lot of bad 44 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: apples in that locker room. And I think that's where 45 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 1: the chemistry and the stability and the trust come from. 46 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: They trust each other well when you bring up having fun. 47 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: How about his response when he was asked by Katherine 48 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: Fitzgerald or the airs in a Republican Easycentral dot Com 49 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: about all the memes And this is going back to 50 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: Sunday Night football, DK Metcalf catching him from behind. And 51 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: I guess it's good Cardinals won that ball game because 52 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: now Baker can joke about it. Otherwise, I don't know 53 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: how happy he would be with all of this. But 54 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: he was asked about the memes and his favorite and 55 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: he specifically I'm surprised that he brought this up, but 56 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: I'll quote him. On the weekends after a football game, 57 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,679 Speaker 1: after a w I might sit on a glass at tequila. 58 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: So there was one that said, I'm not gonna get 59 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: drunk to nights, which was me and then Tequila was 60 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf, So that was pretty funny and quote, I mean, honestly, 61 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: there is nothing that is going wrong right now for 62 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: Buddha Baker. No. And the good news is, you know, 63 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: he wins the Player of the Month only playing three games. 64 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: You know, they clearly missed him in Carolina. I mean, 65 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: the tackling was poor. We kind of touchdown that. And 66 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: now he's got the cast off and now he's gonna 67 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: just wear a splint where obviously he can't do any 68 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: more damage to the thumb. But the fact that he's 69 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: gonna have you know, nine fingers and or you know 70 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: ten overall with the thumbs any defensive player, I'll tell 71 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: you that's an advantage when it comes to wrapping up. 72 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up because he made that 73 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: announcement on last night's Big Red Rage with Paul Calvci 74 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: and Ron Wolfley and was asked more about it earlier 75 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: with the media. And the big thing is is the 76 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: grip and being able to close his hands and make 77 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: that fist as much as possible with the splint on 78 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: the thumb, although he does have two interceptions with the 79 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: cast on. So if he doesn't have one this weekend, 80 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: does he go back to the training staff and say, hey, 81 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: wrap me up again. No, no, no, no, because if 82 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: they throw it his way and we know he could 83 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: punch the ball out. I mean, he's just I guess 84 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: he could be the glue of the defense. Steve said, 85 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: he's one of the most important players on the team. 86 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: They reward him with the highest paid safety in football. 87 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: But he's only getting better. I mean, it's listen. I mean, 88 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: he hasn't even peaked yet, and it's to me, it's 89 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: infectious when it comes to his teammates. Just the way 90 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: he prepares and a lot guys say, the way you 91 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: practiced during the week is how you're going to play 92 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: on Sunday. And sometimes it could be a little bit 93 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: easier where practice, you know, you got to take advantage 94 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: of your reps. But he's a really good practice player, 95 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: and I think if you're a young guy, you follow 96 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: that and that's only going to help you get to 97 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: get more reps on game day or during a practice, 98 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: and you forget he's still considered young, although maybe in 99 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: NFL years, you're a veteran. Once you get to that 100 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: three year mark and here he is in year number four. 101 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: But he has certainly become a voice inside that locker room. 102 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: And that is what general manager's team come said this 103 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: morning on ninety eight seven FM Arizona Sports Station, becoming 104 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: a more natural leader. When Buddha Baker talks, it's authentic 105 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 1: and I think that speaks volumes, no pun intended there, 106 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: because some guys will talk all the time and then 107 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: others when they do speak up or speak out, then 108 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: it means a little bit more. And it might be 109 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: the case with Baker that's it. And I think solely 110 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: but surely, you know, he was a big fan of, 111 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: you know, keeping advance and a lot of guys were because, 112 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: like he said, I mean, you gotta have some stability 113 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: and continuity on that side of the ball. And you know, 114 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: so far everything's going well. It's it's not perfect. There's 115 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: room for improvement. And I think this team would be 116 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: the first to admit that Baker is going to get 117 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,239 Speaker 1: some help with one player in that secondary, Jalen Thompson. 118 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: We know we'll be back this week. He will be 119 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: eased in. According to Kingsbury and Deanti, Thompson is still 120 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: going to have a role on this team defensively, which 121 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: is good news. And there's a possibility of another player 122 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: coming back this weekend, and that would be tied end 123 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: Max Williams, who we have not seen since Week one 124 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: at San Francisco. He hurt his ankle and has been 125 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: on injured reserve ever since. So perhaps more help on 126 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: the way, not only from a defensive standpoint, but along 127 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: that offense as well, you know, just getting your starting 128 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: safeties back. You know, buddhimist the game and Buddhi said 129 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: that time they're playing together since week one, him and 130 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: Jalen Thompson. So but I want to give Deon take 131 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: Thompson credit because you know, there was a lot of 132 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of talk. Okay, now that Jalen's 133 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: come in here with his role is going to get diminished, 134 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: but he got a chance, and I'll tell you I 135 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: was impressed the way he was tackling. And if this 136 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: team wants to go six dbs in this game, depending 137 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: on how much you know they're gonna try to throw it. 138 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: Matt Breed is out. We'll get into some of the 139 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: details there, but yeah, I just think it's a case 140 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: where when you when you look at that defense and 141 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: we could see Isaiah Simmons and more. Sup package is 142 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: based on down in distance and then Max Williams. He 143 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: may be on a pitch count, but Cliff said he's 144 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: been looking good in practice. We know he's one of 145 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: their better blockers. Dan Arnold obviously still looking for that 146 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: big game. He's had a couple of good, solid catches, 147 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: Darrell Daniels cut down the mistakes. Decent blocker, and then 148 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: you throw in Thomas So I think they're only going 149 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: to be able to address three. But Max Williams, it 150 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: may not be this game, but over the next seven 151 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: or eight nine games, you're gonna see him make a 152 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: difference in the running game. And if it is this 153 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: week or if it's next week or down the line, 154 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: it's not going to be in the passing game. Yes 155 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: he can catch the ball, but it's going to be 156 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: in that ground game, specifically that extra blocker. And I 157 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: mean they've run the ball so well with Adam it's 158 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: just I think they can be so much better with 159 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: him on the field. Well, and you know, we know 160 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: that Josh Jones is getting a chance to play even 161 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: though he's a young guy. And I think he's part 162 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: of the future depending on what they do. With Kelvin 163 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: Beecham at right tackle. You got Justin Murray who's filming 164 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: in at right guard. So from that standpoint, I mean, 165 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 1: it's just, you know, I just like where they're at. 166 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: But you don't have to use an extra lineman. Possibly 167 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 1: if Max Williams is in the games and he can 168 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: go off for passes. We know that he's affective, but 169 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: more you want to go eleven or twelve personnel lineup 170 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: and run the football. It is a football Friday here 171 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: on Cardinals covered presented by Hunday, probably partner of the 172 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. Before we get to MJ's three Keys to 173 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: victory plus the always popular X factor, the rest of 174 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: the injury reports, and this is not a surprise, but 175 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake has been officially ruled out. He will not 176 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: see any playing time this week and we don't know 177 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 1: how long he'll be out, but that ankle kept him 178 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 1: off the practice field all week long. Cornerback Drake Kirkpatrick 179 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: also has been ruled out because of a thigh injury. 180 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 1: So now you look at that corner position Patrick Peterson 181 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: and then it's going to be Kevin Peterson and DeVante 182 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: Bosby because don't forget Byron Murphy is unavailable as well. 183 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: So you've got three healthy corners right now, and then 184 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: perhaps a mix and match Jalen Thompson, Deantay Thompson, Buddha Baker, 185 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: maybe in Isaiah Simmons. Don't forget about devanre Campbell as 186 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: far as being able to in a pinch or on 187 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 1: a certain play down in distance can cover, whether it's 188 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: a slot receiver or a tight end. Yeah, and you know, 189 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 1: Drake Kirkpatrick. I want to give him credit for playing 190 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 1: through some injuries, but maybe it's best that he sits 191 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: out a week just from a standpoint of get healthy 192 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: for the rain the remainder of the season. And he's 193 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: been kind of lost in coverage at times. He hasn't 194 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: tackled as well. And when sometimes you're you're, you know, 195 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: covering an injury, you know, maybe you take a little 196 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: bit of shortcuts. So I think he needs a good 197 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: healthy and I'm glad that he's not playing this week 198 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: from that standpoint, but I definitely think when you get 199 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 1: him back and you get Murphy back, it really settles 200 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: things down. You got two outside guys and Pat p 201 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 1: and Kirkpatrick and then you got Murphy in the side, 202 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: and that means guys like Kevin Peterson and Bobsby could 203 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: be your backup. So again, I think it's the right decision. 204 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: Obviously they have the more medical stuff than we do, 205 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: but maybe it's good where he's not pressing and trying 206 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: to make plays when he's one hundred percent. And I 207 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: should also bring a prince of Mukamara as Wallbanks Joseph did, 208 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: if that is an option, that would also require a 209 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: roster move ahead of Sunday's contests. So perhaps they do 210 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: have depth, whether it's this week or next week, they 211 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,079 Speaker 1: do have options. With regard to who's on the practice squad. Yeah, 212 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: you know, Cliff said he's you know still he's a 213 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: guy that obviously is mindful of getting into football shape. 214 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: He was released late in the year or after training 215 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: camp by the Raiders, no preseason, But I think Bosby 216 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: is the guy that Cliff mentioned today, so I would 217 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: he's on the active roster, So I would think that, 218 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,359 Speaker 1: you know, in a pinch, if you know, if Peterson 219 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: is struggling, or maybe the one who gets a different 220 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: look in there to show two of they got different 221 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 1: sub packages, so let us have to wait and see. 222 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: But you get you get murphyback and the healthy Capatrick. 223 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: I think things will be fine a corner position. Two 224 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: players listed as questionable, Jordan Phillips because of a hamstring 225 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: and Zeke Turner because of a toast. We'll have to 226 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 1: wait ninety minutes before kickoff for those two players and 227 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: whether they're up or down. But I would think because 228 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: of who they are defensive line and an excellent special 229 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: teams player, that Phillips and Turner will both be available 230 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, Phillips was out there during the open portion. 231 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: He was practicing. Zeke's been working out a little bit 232 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: on the side. You know. Again, he doesn't play sixty 233 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: snaps a game, but he's very effective on the special team, 234 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: so I would assume. But seeing Phillips out there today, 235 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: I think we're to a point where he's going to 236 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: get some days off in a hamstring injury. For a 237 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: guy that big, you've got to make sure he's not 238 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,719 Speaker 1: having his feet and getting treatment because you don't want 239 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: that thing to linger there like high ankle sprains, growing 240 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: injury hamstring. So I think he's a guy maybe in 241 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: the future we won't see practice as much, but you 242 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: really got to get out there on Thursday and Friday 243 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: and then obviously for the walkthrough. Last on the injury reports, 244 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: you brought it up. Matt Brada, the Dolphins running back 245 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: will not play because of a hamstring injury. Remember, Miles 246 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: Gaskin is already on IR due to a knee issue. 247 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: So that leaves the Dolphins as far as running backs 248 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: right now, Jordan Howard and Patrick Laird as far as 249 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: third fourth now become one two and the newest acquisition, 250 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: DeAndre Washington acquired from the Chiefs, has not cleared COVID 251 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: nineteen protocols, so he is if you will ineligible to 252 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 1: play this Sunday. Yeah, and you know, maybe two is 253 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: going to run more. I know that's not an ideal 254 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: considering any injury history he has. And we'll get into 255 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: some of the key matchups because I definitely think the 256 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: Cardinals got to do a good job of keeping two 257 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: in the pocket. All right, Well, well you have stalled 258 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 1: long enough. Everyone waits for it on these football Fridays. 259 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 1: Mike Direcky's three keys for the Cardinals to extend their 260 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 1: winning streak to four, And I think Before we get 261 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: into that, I just want to make mention because there's 262 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: been a lot of talk this week MG about the 263 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: Cardinals coming out of the bye. Last year it was 264 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: not good. They got embarrassed by the Rams thirty four 265 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: to seven. But also I think this is a game 266 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 1: that can tell a lot about this twenty twenty eras 267 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: on a Cardinals team. Because on the national stage, you 268 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: beat the Cowboys and Seahawks, that's easy to get up for. 269 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: Well what about a team that on paper you're supposed 270 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: to beat. How do they come out of the gate? 271 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: How do they respond? And it was interesting to hear 272 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds say that they took their lead this week 273 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: from Kyler Murray as far as getting ready and practice, 274 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: and even Wednesday's practice, in Edmund's words, got a little chippy. 275 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: So I like to hear that. But now let's see 276 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: it materialize on the football field. Yeah, and you know, 277 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: just based on last year, you know, they start off 278 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: holding four, then they went three in a row, and 279 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: then they know come went to a law and then 280 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: they obviously played a little bit better in the month 281 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: of December, obviously beating the Seahawks. But yeah, I mean 282 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: it's it's a scenario where you know, when you look 283 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: at it, I just think, you know, I think they're 284 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: gonna be up for this game, Craig, because they have 285 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: five wins. They know what's at stake here and it's 286 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: not I think they learned the lesson in Carolina. You 287 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: just can't step on the field. And then they were 288 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: missing their best player in Buddha. No excuse. Every team 289 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: has injuries. We haven't really talked about missing Chandler Jones 290 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: because they're doing it by committee. But yeah, for the 291 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: most part, I mean, I just feel like, you know, 292 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: the stakes are a little bit higher now, and I 293 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: don't want to get ahead, but you know, you've got 294 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: nine games to go and get you get to five 295 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: more wins. Now you're talking about ten, and then we'll 296 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: see what happens in the next couple of weeks. But 297 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: I don't think they're looking ahead, because that's not what 298 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: good teams do. Larry said, we're not worried about rankings. 299 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: We don't talk about that kind of stuff. We know 300 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: Kyler was caught off guard with the question being the 301 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: number one yardage team. That's great, but I'm more interested 302 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: in points. You can go from the twenty to the twenty. 303 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: I want to get points, but clearly it's night and 304 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,479 Speaker 1: day from a year ago. At this time, it's about 305 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: keeping up with the rest of the division. The Seahawks 306 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: this week on the road at Buffalo, the Rams are off. 307 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: When we know the forty nine ers lost last night 308 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: the Packers, so they are four and five. So there 309 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: might be a drop off now with the forty nine 310 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: ers considering everything that they're going through if you want 311 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: to be able to keep pace with the Seahawks. So 312 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: all eyes on that contest in Buffalo before the Cardinals 313 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: get their shot at the Bills next week. But that 314 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: is next week. Let's focus in here on this Cardinals 315 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: Dolphins matchup. Three keys to victory number one for Mike Jarecki. 316 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: What must happen for the Cardinals to get their sixth win? 317 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: Number one run the football. Dolphins rush defense given up 318 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: four point nine yards per carry one hundred and twenty 319 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: five yards on the game, ranked twenty first. Cardinals offense 320 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: rush offense averaging five yards point five point two second 321 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: in the league, averaging one hundred and sixty point seven 322 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: that's second in the league. The Cardinals have the league's 323 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: number one offense in total yards, averaging four hundred nineteen. Now, meanwhile, 324 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: Miami has allowed the fewest points. They've only given up 325 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: eighteen point six, and they do a really good job 326 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: on third down. They're holding their opponents at thirty three 327 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: point three percent. But I think the Carlinos have to 328 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: be able to run the football, and that's going to 329 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: set up the pass and we'll get into some of 330 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 1: the matchups on the outside. But running the football, Chase 331 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: obviously Kylin Murray. You know, he's a guy that if 332 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,959 Speaker 1: he's averages nine or ten carries, I like their chances 333 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: to win. Obviously, he's made vast improvements from week three 334 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: to week seven. First three weeks Craig four touchdowns, five interceptions, 335 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: last four games nine touchdowns, two interceptions. So he's turned 336 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 1: the corner and Chase set it again today. He really 337 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: wants to be a guy that's gonna make throws from 338 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: the pocket. But he's so dynamic and if they try 339 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 1: to put a spy on him, it's worked at times, 340 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: but for the most part, that's just free somebody up, 341 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: so run the football. And quoting Edmonds about Murray, he 342 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: really doesn't want to run the football. He prefers to 343 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: get the ball out into the hands of his playmakers. 344 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: Now Chase Edmonds is going to get the start. It's 345 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: what the fan base has often wanted to see, or 346 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: at least more touches for Chase Edmonds. What's interesting is 347 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: what happens if Edmonds is not in the backfield. Who's 348 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: that player going to be? And head coach Cliff Kingsbury 349 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: first name out of his mouth, DJ Foster, who right 350 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: now MJ is on the practice squad, so there would 351 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: have to be a roster move ahead of Sunday. But 352 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 1: you also have Jonathan Ward and then you know Benjamin. 353 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: I know the Sun Double fan base would love to 354 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: see him on the field, but he doesn't play special teams. 355 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: And as much as we thought this would be the 356 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: week to see him dressed, if Foster is up, Ward 357 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: we know play special teams. I don't know if there's 358 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: a spot on the active roster on game day for 359 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: an eno Benjamin. Yeah, it's just a numbers game, and 360 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: you know, you would have thought Kenny Drake going down. 361 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,479 Speaker 1: The thing is, you know, I think Ward has similar 362 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: skill set and not comparing, just similar skills set to Drake. 363 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: I think he'd be good in short yardage. If you 364 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: can get a lead in the fourth quarter, you've pounded 365 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: with him. He's got fresh legs, you know. I don't 366 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: know how effective he would be in past protection or 367 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: running routes, but they do definitely work on that kind 368 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 1: of stuff. And then DJ Foster, he's been in the 369 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 1: system now two years. He can catch the ball the backfield, 370 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 1: he can run between the tackles, he's good in past protection, 371 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: and he plays on special teams. So if I had 372 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: a guest, I think Emo Benjum will be inactive. Again, 373 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: that's just the numbers game, and if he can't get 374 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: on the field now, I don't know if when Kenyan 375 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 1: Drake's returning. Obviously the Cardinals last year, David Johnson went down, 376 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: Chase went down, they had to bring in a couple 377 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: other running backs and Alfred Morris zach center. So that's 378 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: one position where you gotta be ready. But I would 379 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: think because Award and Foster playing on teams, they're going 380 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: to be active on game day. That's one thing that 381 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: Kingsbry brought up with respect to Foster was he knows 382 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: the offense inside and out, and whether that's the same 383 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: with a Jonathan ord or An, you know, Benjamin, who knows, 384 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: But I think this coaching staff feels a lot more 385 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: comfortable with someone Foster's status, resume experience, oversay a rookie, 386 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 1: you know, Benjamin. But that's left to be said or 387 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: left to be seen coming up on Sunday. All right, 388 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: number two, your second key to a win. This week 389 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: we talked about Twah. You know, very pedestrian. Didn't have 390 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 1: a great quarterback rate, and he was able to throw 391 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: a touchdown pass. They won with their defense. It was 392 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: a team win. They want those some special teams returns 393 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: and just great feel positions. So my thing is keep 394 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 1: to it in the pocket, make him uncomfortable. It's his 395 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 1: first road start. Again, it's not going to have sixty 396 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: eight thousand people, but you'll have forty two hundred likely 397 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: twenty one on one side, twenty one hundred and the 398 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 1: other left handed quarterback Cardinals really having face a left 399 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: handed quarterball comes out a little bit different. The last 400 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 1: quarterback the left handed or played in the NFL is 401 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore. You know, as the Cardinals were explaining what 402 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: he does, it's going to be opposite from a right 403 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: handed quarterback. So when he takes us off the center. 404 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: You know, he's really good when it comes to bootlegs, 405 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: waggle plays and RPOs, so he's able to buy some time. 406 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: I would think earlier in the games they're going to 407 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: try to, you know, get him in you know, manageable 408 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: downs where he's you know, trying to get some confidence 409 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: up short quick passes. I don't know if they you know, 410 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: can go on a fifteen play drive or they got 411 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: to pick up a couple of first downs. But keep 412 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: him in the pocket, makeing him uncomfortable, and we watch 413 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: Vans do it to Russell Wilson, who's an experienced quarterback. 414 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: If you got to bring some guys off the edge 415 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: because I don't know how much they're going to try 416 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 1: to run the football, you have to you can't destroy 417 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: or fifty times and put him in him you know, 418 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: a situation where he's not going to succeed. So keep 419 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: him in the pocket and make him uncomfortable and let 420 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: him know you're gonna be there all day. The one 421 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: thing that I don't think has gotten talked a lot 422 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 1: about is what you just mentioned too, of being left handed, 423 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: and Buddha Baker brought that up because now you have 424 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: to trained yourself to do everything opposite that you've seen 425 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: week in and week out, although Buddha Baker did say 426 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: that they're not treating to it any differently, just because 427 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: this is his second career, starting first on the road. 428 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: He's an NFL quarterback, and NFL quarterbacks don't like to 429 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 1: be pressured, they don't like to be hit. We saw 430 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: Jared Goff against this Dolphins defense last week get a 431 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: little frustrated because of all the pressure that the Dolphins 432 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: defense brought. So I think you're going to see a 433 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: lot of what we saw against the Seattle Seahawks. Different looks, 434 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: six seven guys at the line of scrimmage, maybe they 435 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: all come, maybe only three rush, maybe four rush, and 436 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: then everyone drops. But I like that because how much 437 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 1: has he seen talking about twa in the NFL's exactly 438 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: what Kyler Murray went through a year ago, seeing different defenses. 439 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: And then, of course the speed of the game is 440 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: a factor as well. I'll say this about the Dolphins 441 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: and their offensive line. They start two rookies, yet they've 442 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: only allowed out eleven sacks, which is tied for the 443 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 1: ninth fewest in the league, and one of the players 444 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: that they don't have, but he's injured. Right now is 445 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: Austin Jackson, who they drafted, the local product out of 446 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: North Canyon High School. But the other two rookies the 447 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: right guard Solomon Kindley and the right tackle Robert Hunts. 448 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: So perhaps look for maybe a Hassan Reddick Marcus Golden 449 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: to line up opposite right guard right tackle coming up 450 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, and then Josh Morrall looks like he's 451 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 1: gonna get some run at defensive line, where number sixty nine, 452 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: Lucky Foe two is gonna be starting in places Zach Allen. 453 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: So on paper, you're gonna have at least two new starters. Obviously. 454 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,120 Speaker 1: The good news is that Lucky's been here from day one, 455 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: and so he's a guy that can push the pocket 456 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,959 Speaker 1: very tough against the run, So that will help up 457 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: guys like Jordan Phillips and Corey Peters. All right, my 458 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: third matchup is going to be one of the cornerbacks 459 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: Xavier Howard or Byron owns On Hopkins. Now, Hopkins is 460 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: averaging when it comes to Hopkins, he averaging one hundred 461 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: yards point six per game. That is Hops in the league. 462 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: He leans in targets, receptions in yards per game, So 463 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 1: I'm curious to see can normally hop lines up on 464 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: the X receiver, which is on the left side. Will 465 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: they try to bracket him a little bit because we 466 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: know when it comes to the Belichick Clones and Floors 467 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 1: is in that boat. They try to take away your 468 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: strength and then they're hoping that maybe some of your 469 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: other guys aren't able to step up. So I just 470 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: think whoever draws that assignment, that could open things up 471 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: for other guys around on the field. Xavien Howard has 472 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: four interceptions, tied for the league lead. He's the one 473 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 1: player on this defense that I think has been I 474 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't say name guy. They do have Kyle van Noy 475 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 1: and Shack Lawson who have been both around the league, 476 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: But as far as Howard, I think he might have 477 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: the most experience as far as being with the Dolphins. 478 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: Remember we touched on it yesterday. He was with the 479 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: Dolphins when Van's Joseph was the defensive coordinator. So familiarity 480 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: is something that is key. And now you look to 481 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: see if there is Howard versus Hopkins, or if it's 482 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: Jones versus Hopkins to try to take away him but 483 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,120 Speaker 1: if they do that, and I know Hopkins probably wouldn't 484 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: like it if he's only got a couple of catches. 485 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, if you're winning, 486 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: that's all that matters. If you have someone for a 487 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk, do you have someone for a Larry Fitzgerald 488 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds out of the backfield, Dan Arnold. I don't 489 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: know how far matchup wise this Dolphins defense can go. 490 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 1: When you look at the number of weapons the Cardinals 491 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: offense has, yeah, I agree with that, and you know, 492 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: you look at Xavien Howard and Jones. I mean they 493 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: went on to spend big money. Howard was a high 494 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: draft pick into me. That's what belichicked out over the years. 495 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: You know when he had Malcolm Butler and then they 496 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: drafted Gilmore. Well, they sang Gilmore from Buffalo. You get 497 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 1: two shutdown corners, you can do a lot of things 498 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: with the other nine guys. So they've really invested in 499 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 1: two shutdown corners. And now that we're starting to see 500 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 1: the foods at the labor there so and then you know, 501 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 1: you just look at my X factor. I was gonna 502 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 1: go boodha on two, but I'm gonna go to Cardinals 503 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: front seven, because we know this team is going to 504 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: try to run the football. Obviously they don't have the bodies, 505 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: and if when I talked about making them uncomfortable, if 506 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: they can just get a couple turnovers, I think they 507 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: would go a long way. So my X factors the 508 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: front seven keeping everything in front. And as Vance's pointed out, 509 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: you know they do have Parker. I'm sure they got 510 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: some fast guys. Just from a standpoint, they can run rounds, 511 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: but eliminate the chunk plays, Eliminate you know, the big 512 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: plays where they're backbreakers, and it can be a little 513 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: deflating going to the sidelines. But I think the X 514 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: factor is going to be the front seven, just the 515 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: pressure they put on him, besides keeping him inside the pocket. 516 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: Knock on Wood. This defense has done a great job 517 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: on opposing tight ends. And I'm not sure we've actually 518 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,439 Speaker 1: had a question on Thursday to coach Joseph about the 519 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: tight end position. And I'm not saying that the Dolphins 520 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 1: have a world beater at the tight end, but Mike 521 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: Gasecki averages fifteen better than fifteen yards a catch, and 522 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: that is second best among tight ends in the league. 523 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: So if there's one guy that you certainly don't want 524 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 1: to lose sight of, it would be him. He has 525 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: two touchdown catches this season. But to your points about 526 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,399 Speaker 1: the front seven, if you just rattle this offense a 527 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: little bit, then I still don't think we all know 528 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 1: enough about what this offense is going to look like 529 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: with Tua as the quarterback. Yeah, Gasecki, he's you know, 530 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: I always think it's an easy throw for a quarterback. 531 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 1: Now two is not the biggest guy, but obviously being 532 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: left handed, he'll he could find a little slippers scene. 533 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 1: To me, that's a high percentage throw throwing over the 534 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: middle of the field. But we know the Cardinals secondary 535 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: starting to force more turnovers. Campbell has a size to 536 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: maybe crouched down a little bit and make the pick. 537 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean I just think the front seven, 538 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 1: I keep him in the pocket, but I want to 539 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: see him put some pressure on this guy and maybe 540 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 1: he possibly has some turnovers. This was certainly a matchup 541 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: that everyone nationally spoke of this week. When you looked 542 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 1: at Cardinals Dolphins, it's Kyler, it's the narrative. However, it 543 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: was a lot one sided thinking, all right, Tah got 544 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: the win. In his first career start, he only played 545 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: forty nine snaps, only had ninety three yards passing. There's 546 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: a lot of questions still with Two as far as 547 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: all right, is he the guy, can he succeed at 548 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: this level? And then is he the guy for the 549 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins moving forward? You know, they made the switch 550 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: to go from Ryan Fitzpatrick, and I think there's still 551 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: a bit of a question mark considering he wasn't all 552 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: that dynamic in his first go around. He didn't make 553 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: a great first impression, if you will. Yeah, and in 554 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: advance told us, you know, the fact that he was 555 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: there throughout the entire offseason, virtual or not. He was 556 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 1: in training camp, and when they installed the offense, the 557 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: whole idea was he's gonna learn with Ryan Fitzpatrick. Clearly, 558 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: they were three and three and they made the switch. 559 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: Now you go back to last year, they're nine and 560 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: seven in our last sixteen games. So they're they're they're 561 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: making progress. But I think if you're the Dolphins and 562 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: you look at Kylin Murray and maybe they look at 563 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson or Mahomes a little different skill sets, you're 564 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: hoping that two can be that guy going into next year. 565 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: I mean again, he's dealt with a lot of injuries, 566 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: but he's a very confident kid. He's a great kid, 567 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: and so I think his teammates will, you know, they'll 568 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: engage with by. I watched NFL films. One of the 569 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: lineman came by and he's like, great game. You know, 570 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: we really didn't have to use the offense a lot. 571 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: And he goes, oh, I wish I could have done more. 572 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: He said, no, we're gonna My job is to protect you. 573 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: So that's their ideas, protecting him and allowing him a 574 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: little more time to throw the ball down the field. 575 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: I do not expect the Dolphins to be able to 576 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: replicate what they did against the Rams, and that is 577 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: being able to score four different ways, passing, rushing, special teams, 578 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: and defensive. That is not going to happen in back 579 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: to back weeks. And the Rams ran down their throat. 580 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: They really did. It was golf. He had two interceptions, 581 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: he had a fumble. You talked about our defense and 582 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: special teams. The Rams ran right down their throat. And 583 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: that's why my first key in this game is run 584 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: the football. Run the football, and we know the offensive 585 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: line they don't get the credit, but they're better than 586 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: they were last year at this time. There's more cohesiveness. 587 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: Guys know their roles. They've got a really good game 588 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: plan from Coog's and Kingsbury trust those guys. So yeah, 589 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: that's that's my idea of running the football. It sounds simple, 590 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: but mistakes. Who commits the fewer mistakes? And I think 591 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: it always comes back to the quarterback position. Kyle the 592 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 1: Murray can protect the football and doesn't throw unnecessary interceptions, 593 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: then there's no reason why this Cardinals team should not 594 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: be able to come out with a W on Sunday. Yeah, 595 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: and you know, I mean it's the NFL. I mean, 596 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: teams are gonna be able to go on drives, but 597 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: you just hope that you know, you can limit them, 598 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: and it would be nice, like any game, State and 599 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: the obvious get off to a lead, put them behind 600 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: the sticks a little bit where he has to throw 601 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 1: the more. And we know that just based on the 602 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: depth chart, they don't have a lot of running backs 603 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: that you really can carry the load. They're gonna have 604 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 1: to do it by committee, and I think too will 605 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: get some of those touches. You got two teams meeting 606 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: each with three game winning streaks. The Cardinals have not 607 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 1: won four in a row since twenty fifteen. We're talking 608 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: a lot about twenty fifteen with respects to how well 609 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: this team is playing right now at five and two 610 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: in the Dolphins four and three, second place in the 611 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: AFC East Bird Gang.

That's it's mandated. And the 622 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: Cardinals have a listen, little logo out there with big 623 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: red how you correctly watch your mask. Obviously if you're 624 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: having linvations or food a little bit different, but wear 625 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: your mask because maybe the next time they come home 626 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: not against Buffalo, maybe that number increases. Obviously, the state 627 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: has to approve that. So do your part and cheer 628 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: the red bird of all the information on asy cardinals 629 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: dot com. Before we sign off here on the Football 630 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: Friday Cardinals cover two presented by Hunday probably partner of 631 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, we go back to the cornerback discussion, 632 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: and I do want to point out that the reports 633 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: that Jonathan Joseph is headed to the Arizona Cardinals, the 634 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: former Texans corner who was released this week. Question was 635 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: asked to general manager Steve Come this morning on with 636 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 1: Dougan Wolf ninety eight seven FM, Arizona sports station, and 637 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't say come right out and say yes, it's going 638 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: to happen. And I think a lot of that has 639 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: to do with the COVID nineteen protocols. You have to 640 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 1: pass so many tests. I believe it's five straight days, 641 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: much like Marcus Golden had to do before we actually 642 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: saw Golden on the football field, but Kim said they 643 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: do like his experience fifteenth season. He is up there 644 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: in age thirty six years old. But the ability to 645 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: play man coverage, I think speaks to what this team 646 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: is looking for and then it doesn't hurt to have 647 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: depth at certain positions. And I think that is what 648 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: Kim is looking at, not just because of injuries, but 649 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: because you never know. You get that email early in 650 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 1: the morning saying someone has tested positive or has come 651 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,399 Speaker 1: in close contact with someone who has tested positive, then 652 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, everything gets thrown up in the air. 653 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: You have to be able to adjust right away. And 654 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,839 Speaker 1: I think Corner what we've seen is that position that 655 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 1: is hard to find, first of all, And two, you 656 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: certainly don't want to get too far low in the 657 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 1: totem pole, if you will, as far as going down 658 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: to your fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth guy. Yeah, I 659 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: hope those days are over with Curtis Riley, you know, 660 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:40,320 Speaker 1: playing in the secondary. And yeah, I mean I always 661 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 1: say flood the position. You know, they got prints on 662 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 1: the practice squad. We'll see where he stands out. I 663 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 1: don't know that he didn't mention him today, so I'm 664 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 1: assuming he's not going to be up. Could be wrong. 665 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: We'll see. Bobsby and Kevin Peterson are gonna have bigger 666 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 1: roles in this game. I think Thompson Deon Taken have 667 00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 1: a role Isaiah Simmons. Campbell can cover tight ends. So 668 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 1: it's nothing wrong with letting the position, because if you 669 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 1: have an outbreak in a certain position, you gotta have bodies. 670 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: And here it was one corner and one outside linebacker 671 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 1: and they were able to kind of replace the outside 672 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 1: linebacker and Marcus Golden and Knard and now without Kirkpatrier, 673 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: they're gonna move some furniture around, but they feel comfortable. 674 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: According to Vans, they have a plan, and I think 675 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna see some different packages based on downing distance 676 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: first or second down, maybe normal based defense. We get 677 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: to third down, I think they're gonna show some different 678 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,319 Speaker 1: packages and that's where we can see different guys on 679 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 1: the field that maybe are not in their based defense. 680 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: With respect to Jonathan Joseph, here's what KM had to say. Quote. 681 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 1: We'll see where that goes end quote, And if we 682 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 1: are talking more about it next week, then that's when 683 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 1: we'll address it more here on Cardinals Covered two.

You're predicting a win 690 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: Mike Jarecki on Sunday. Do you have a score that 691 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 1: you want to throw out there or Hey? Bottom line, 692 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: as this team walks off the field at State Farm 693 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: Stadium with the W get to six and two, that's 694 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,800 Speaker 1: all that matters. I'm gonna go thirty one sixteen. I 695 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 1: think they'll get a couple of field goals, maybe a touchdown, 696 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 1: And I think the Cardinals they could score more. I 697 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 1: know that they every week they feel like they leave 698 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 1: points on the field. Well how about put up thirty 699 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 1: or forty. But obviously, when we're doing that postgame show, 700 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,399 Speaker 1: I wanted to be talking about a W because this 701 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: team going into this game, they know what's at stake, 702 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,280 Speaker 1: they know what's at stake for the rest of the season, 703 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 1: so I anticipate they're gonna come out fired up. They're 704 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,359 Speaker 1: at home, and the next couple of games are at 705 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 1: home before they got to go over to Seahawks, So 706 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 1: I think at thirty one seventeen it could be closer. 707 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 1: But I don't think that's going to happen in the 708 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. And that thirty point mark has been the 709 00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,320 Speaker 1: magic mark for the Cardinals that they've scored at least 710 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,240 Speaker 1: thirty in each of their last three games, all wins, 711 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 1: and that's the longest active streak in the NFL. Dolphins, 712 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: of course, have only allowed seventeen points or fewer in 713 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,879 Speaker 1: each of their last three games. So certainly something's got 714 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: to give this week, and we all hope it's the 715 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 1: Cardinals coming out on top. On that note, we will 716 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,279 Speaker 1: put a lid on this edition of Cardinals Cover two, 717 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: presented by Hounday, proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals. For 718 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 1: Mike Jarecki, I'm craig Riel lou Third Gang. We'll talk 719 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 1: to you Sunday and then Monday here on Cardinals Cover two.
