1 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: Based on what we saw in the Super Bowl. The 2 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 1: cliche is true, offense wins games, but defense wins championships. 3 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: Welcome Bird Gang.

Good food, good company, 18 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: The game not so much depending on which side of 19 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: the table you're rooting for, but overall, the experience of 20 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. 21 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 3: Sunday pretty relaxing. Super Bowl Sunday ended up kind of 22 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,559 Speaker 3: last minute going out to the waste Management Tournament, which 23 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 3: kind of warm me out, even though it was cloudy. 24 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 3: It's just like you're outside all day and it's so 25 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 3: much walking. And so I ended up laying low for 26 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 3: Super Bowl Sunday and just watching with a few friends 27 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 3: down the street. And that was about it. 28 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: If you are going to go to the Waste Management 29 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: Phoenix Open just to kind of enjoy a less crowded 30 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: golf tournament, Sunday is the day to go. 31 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 3: It was in the past I'd gone on I don't remember, 32 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 3: maybe a Friday or Saturday, which was obviously chaotic and 33 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 3: a lot of fun still, and this was much more tamed. 34 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 3: It was very enjoyable, I'll. 35 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: Say this, though it was a little bit more cloudy 36 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: than anticipated some of the golf highlights, But yeah, most 37 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: of Sunday was directed toward what was going on in 38 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: New Orleans Super Bowl fifty nine, whether it was the 39 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: well they had it. They had a six hour Fox 40 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: had a six hour pregame. I started thinking, now, again, 41 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: we're a long ways away from twenty twenty five, the 42 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 1: regular season, at least that's mentally where I'm thinking, because 43 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: we're still in February when the Arizona Cardinals are in 44 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Whether that's twenty twenty five or twenty 45 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: twenty six. How long of a pregame show are we 46 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: going to do, Danny. That's the big question that I 47 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: was thinking about as I'm watching one hour tick by 48 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: after another after another. 49 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 3: Well, you gotta keep in mind we don't have a 50 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 3: TV broadcast pregame show, so it's not easy work to 51 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 3: prepare a radio show. But it's not near as many 52 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 3: assets as a broadcast. 53 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: I would think the NFL kickoff show would extend beyond 54 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,119 Speaker 1: one hour. I'm gonna play. I'm gonna make that known 55 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: right now, Cody. I mean, I think it should be 56 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: at least we should at least double it, right, sure, 57 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: triple no, No. 58 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 3: I've still got a second radio show after. 59 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: That, that's true. Then we can make Paul work. We 60 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: could double his Sure, that would extend it to four plus. 61 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 1: So we're talking there's six hours right there, doubling both 62 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: the NFL kickoffshow and pregame Leudel. That's six hours to 63 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: get us to kickoff. 64 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 3: See in Santa Clara. 65 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 1: That's right on the West coast. 66 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 3: And then one after that's in La. 67 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of weird on how that rotation usually 68 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: it's they try to balance it out, whether it's West coast, 69 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: east coast, but yeah, you're right, it's two in a 70 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: row on the West coast. And then I don't know 71 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: after that. 72 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 3: What's not super desirable places for Super Bowl or big 73 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 3: crowds in my opinion, But my opinion does not hold 74 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 3: anyway in this discussion. 75 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun. I, unlike our co 76 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: hosts on this platform, Paul calvic, I did enjoy the 77 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: hype the days leading up to Super Bowl Sunday. That's 78 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: just me, and I was hoping. I wanted to see history. 79 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: I wanted that three pete did you didn't get it. 80 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: I like to witness history, whatever it is. I enjoy that. 81 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: So yeah, there was a part of me, Hey, when 82 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: you have never experienced or never seen it before and 83 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: you have that opportunity, I mean, teams have won back 84 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: to back, but they had never reached a third Super Bowl, 85 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: and here were the Kansas City Chiefs and that three 86 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: pete and ye all the talk leading it up to it. 87 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: I was okay if they had one on Sunday. 88 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 3: So interesting. I don't categorize myself as someone who has 89 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 3: the Chiefs fatigue. And because I'm in the same camp 90 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 3: as you. You respect what Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid 91 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 3: have done and how doesn't really matter who else they 92 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 3: have out on the field, they find a way to 93 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 3: get the job done and win when it matters. However, 94 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 3: it is kind of fun, I guess, not necessarily a villain, 95 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 3: but everyone outside of Kansas City meta your area was rooting, 96 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 3: not even just for Philly, but for the Chiefs not 97 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 3: to win, and the fact that they played as horribly 98 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 3: as they did is such a shock. I am with you, though, 99 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 3: of respecting the history that you are watching, of especially 100 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 3: maybe a little now, but more so down the line 101 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 3: of when you look back at someone like Tom Brady 102 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 3: and the powerhouse that the Patriots were in the moment, Yes, 103 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 3: it's annoying because they are unbeatable, and then you take 104 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 3: a second you think, holy smokes, like I got to 105 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 3: watch either on TV with my eyes, one of the 106 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 3: greatest to ever play the game, and it's hard when 107 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 3: you are now kind of reliving it with Patrick Mahomes 108 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 3: if you're not a Kansas City Chiefs fan. But I 109 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 3: do take a little step back and think, wow, this 110 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 3: is this is pretty cool to get to see this 111 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 3: with your own eyes. Now, as a Dallas and Native, 112 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 3: I wasn't necessarily cheering for like that's hard. I can't 113 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 3: really cheer for Philly. I was hoping for a good game, 114 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 3: and although it wasn't a good game, there were still 115 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 3: a lot of good moments, mostly from that Philly team. 116 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 3: So that was nice to see. 117 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: Cowboys fans, Commanders fans, Giants fans. Are you really right? 118 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: Now? 119 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: That's another story, but are you really rooting for the 120 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles if you're in the NFC East? 121 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 3: No, I don't believe in the oh I want this 122 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 3: team to win because they're in my division and represent it. 123 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: Well. No, yeah, that's why I was always I didn't 124 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: understand that when the Rams are in it or the 125 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: Seahawks are the forty hinders, No, I don't want them 126 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: to win. No, that's not how I think. Now. As 127 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: far as the game itself on Sunday, Eagles win forty 128 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: to twenty two and really was not even that close 129 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: twenty four to nothing at halftime, thirty four to six 130 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: entering the fourth quarter. Jalen Hurts watched the last what 131 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,559 Speaker 1: half of the fourth quarter from the sideline. This game 132 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: did not go as expected, and I think for a 133 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: lot of people it was Okay, this Chiefs team, No, 134 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: they are not great by previous standards, and they find 135 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: a way to win one score victories during the regular season. 136 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: They just scored one more point than their opponent. A 137 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: lot of the times were one score more to get 138 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: to where they were on Sunday, and at some point 139 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: people said, oh, it's going to catch up to them, 140 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: and I think to a large extent, it did catch 141 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: up to them because they ran into a much more 142 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: talented team and that was the case even before the 143 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: outcome was decided. But the Eagles were more talented player 144 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: for player, and it certainly looked like that on the 145 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: field based off what they did offensively and defensively. 146 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 3: If you would have gone into that game knowing that 147 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 3: Kansas City was going to hold Saquon Barkley to just 148 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 3: seventy two rushing yards under one hundred yards and Philly 149 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 3: was still going to be as dominant as they were, 150 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 3: that would have been hard to believe. The Chiefs just imploded. 151 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 3: The offensive line played poorly, or at least they couldn't 152 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 3: hold up against that Philly defensive line, which shows you 153 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 3: the importance of having some game changers in the trenches. 154 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes didn't look as comfortable as he usually does 155 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 3: under that pressure. Two interceptions. Travis Kelce was not a 156 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 3: factor by any means. I mean, the Chiefs just did 157 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 3: not look the way they normally do. DeAndre Hopkins was 158 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 3: wide open, and he looked like he slipped or got 159 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 3: a little tripped up on that, but wide open field 160 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 3: dropped the pass. They just were not on the level 161 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,119 Speaker 3: that they normally are, and definitely not on the level 162 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 3: you need to be when you're playing in the biggest 163 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 3: game of your career. Props to the Eagles though, especially 164 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 3: that defense. Just a phenomenal game. I mean, rookie Cooper 165 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 3: dejen on his twenty second birthday, his first career interception, 166 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 3: just take it for a pick six against Patrick Mahomes 167 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 3: in the Super Bowl. You really can't script it better 168 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 3: than that, you. 169 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: See looking at some of the numbers, and when you 170 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: kind of dissect these games, all right, did the team 171 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: really win or did the other team lose? No, the 172 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 1: Eagles won. They took that game from the Kansas City Chiefs. 173 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: And as much as the talk now about Kansas City, 174 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: all right is it's the end of their dynasty. No, 175 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: they still have Andy Reid, they still have Patrick Mahomes. 176 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: If you have the head coach, you have the quarterback, 177 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: you always have a chance. Now, I think all credit 178 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: goes to Philadelphia offensively defensively, and you mentioned something I 179 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: want to talk about with the Arizona Cardinals here in 180 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: a minute, but that is the line of scrimmage as 181 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: far as what we saw from this Eagles team, specifically 182 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: the defense, three takeaways, two interceptions, and a loss fumble, 183 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: six sacks. Two years ago in the Super Bowl, they 184 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: had no sacks of Patrick Mahomes. And then you brought 185 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: it up being able to rush four and the fact 186 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: that the Chiefs with five offensive linemen could not stop 187 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: four defenders. That I mean, just based off the numbers alone, 188 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: five is greater than four. It wasn't on Sunday. 189 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 3: Absolutely, And that's something we've already kind of talked about 190 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 3: with needing to look at this Cardinals team. And it's 191 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 3: an interesting topic because you've got to starters who you 192 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 3: didn't see this year, and Justin Jones and Blal Nichols 193 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 3: and l J. Collier, who was one of your better 194 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 3: defensive linemen, is a pending free agent So those are 195 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 3: questions of if that's an area that the Cardinals are 196 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 3: presumably going to want to make sure is stacked moving 197 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 3: forward to be a little more formidable and stopping the 198 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 3: run and generating pressure outside of just your pass rushers, 199 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 3: and you're starting by looking inward, what decisions are going 200 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 3: to be made? It's similar where Collier last year heard 201 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 3: his biceps in Week one. He was a pending free 202 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 3: agent heading into the offseason this time last year and 203 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 3: the Cardinals continue to take a chance on him and 204 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 3: re signed him for a year. So our change is 205 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 3: going to be made? Are you going to stick with 206 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 3: the vision you saw with players like Jones and Nichols 207 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 3: who you didn't really get to see And if the 208 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 3: answer to any of those when you're looking at anybody 209 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 3: in that room is no, what do you decide to 210 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 3: do moving forward? 211 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 2: L J. 212 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: Collier, Nae Kwon, Jones, Roy Lopez, Kyris Toga all free agents, 213 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: Justin Jones, Bolan Nichols. They play at a believe a 214 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: combined six or nine games last season, and then Darius 215 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: Robinson missed half the season. So there's three players right 216 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: there that are under contract and are part of rotation. 217 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 1: Now what do you do with those impending free agents? 218 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: What do you do looking outside? I know a big 219 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: popular topic of discussion is the Eagles free agents, whether 220 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: that is Josh Sweat or Milton Williams, they were both 221 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: dominant on Sunday. How much is it going to cost 222 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: a team, whether it's the Cardinals or somewhere else to 223 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: pry them out of Philadelphia? But there is no doubt 224 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: in my mind. And we've seen this now from Monty 225 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: asin Fort for a couple of seasons, now, even Jonathan Gannon. 226 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: It's about the line of scrimmage. Can you protect the quarterback? 227 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: Can you get after the quarterback? And if there is 228 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: any takeaway, one takeaway from Super Bowl fifty nine is 229 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: that you have to be and this is I'm not 230 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 1: saying anything that no other team is thinking about here 231 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: on this Monday following the Super Bowl, but you have 232 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: to be stout at the line of scrimmage, both on 233 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: offense and on defense. 234 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 3: Absolutely, in those questions that we're talking about with the 235 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 3: defensive line, you've got a fair share of those on 236 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 3: your offensive line as well. You've got Paris Johnson Junior 237 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 3: is going to be your pillar of a left tackle 238 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 3: and you re sign center Yelled Defroholdt. Everything else is 239 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 3: a question mark. Left guard Evan Brown, free agent right 240 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 3: guard Will Hernandez who hurt his knee early in the 241 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 3: season missed majority of the year, going to be a 242 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 3: free agent. You signed Jonah Williams last year as your 243 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 3: right tackle, he dealt with a lot of injuries. Is 244 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 3: that a player that you're going to want to continue 245 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 3: to move forward with or are you going to want 246 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 3: to look elsewhere, whether that is looking at a rookie 247 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 3: like Christian Jones who you want to develop into that 248 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 3: tackle spot. And Calvin Beachum is a huge question mark. 249 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 3: That is like three question marks with a big circle 250 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 3: around all three of those. Free agent swing tackle who 251 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 3: was proved in time in and time out, not just 252 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 3: this past season, but seasons before that. He is reliable 253 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 3: on both sides, left and right, and that is something 254 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,319 Speaker 3: he put on display this year again. Is that you're 255 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 3: going to want to bring back a proven veteran or 256 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 3: are you going to want to start relying on younger 257 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 3: players and having them get those reps. It's a lot 258 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,719 Speaker 3: of for us. It's fun questions of what decisions are 259 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 3: going to be made. There are questions and decisions on 260 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 3: both sides of the ball. When you're talking about the 261 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 3: line of scrimmage. 262 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: The good news is, as we saw again on Sunday, 263 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: if you have the quarterback and the Cardinals, whether fans 264 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: outside the Dignity Health Arizona Cardinals Training Center believe it 265 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: or not, within this building, the Cardinals have their quarterback. 266 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: They also have a running back, they have a wide receiver, 267 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: they have a good secondary. Can you upgrade there, certainly, 268 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: But the offensive line, the questions along the defensive line, 269 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: as far as who do you bring back, who do 270 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: you go after? There's no wrong answer as far as 271 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 1: which to the line of scrimmage you focus on first, 272 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: I think you look at it collectively as far as 273 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: the offensive line and defensive line. But it's not a 274 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 1: sexy topic as far as you want that quote unquote playmaker, 275 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: whether that is quarterback, wide receiver, running back, or cornerback. 276 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: On the defensive side, no, we're talking about the offensive line, 277 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: those five guys that don't get a lot of attention 278 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: unless something goes wrong. That's the conversation right now. Happened 279 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: in Kansas City. And then defensively, it's the defensive line. 280 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: I would even add the front seven as well when 281 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: you're talking about an edge rush. And now with the Cardinals, 282 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: what do you do at inside linebacker? If Kaizier or 283 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: White based off social media posts, is really going to 284 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: leave this team in twenty twenty five. But to me, 285 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: I'm fascinated to know what Monty austin Ford decides to 286 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: do because that, to me is where this next step 287 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: for the Arizona Cardinals to get into the postseason hopefully 288 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: make a strong playoff push. They have to be better 289 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: on the offensive line and defense. How you maneuver with 290 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: those pieces. That's why money gets paid to make those decisions. 291 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: And then we just sit there and analyze and go, Okay, 292 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: that sounds good. Now let's see if it works well 293 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: on paper as are on the field as well as 294 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: it looks on paper. 295 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 3: You want a quote unquote sexy draft pick, like a 296 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 3: wide receiver or tight end or cornerback or safety. Who's 297 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 3: having all these picks? All these PBUs, well, how do 298 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 3: you expect them to have time to do their job? 299 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 3: How do you expect for a wide receiver to get 300 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 3: through their route and be open to catch a ball 301 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,359 Speaker 3: If there's not enough time with protection for the quarterback 302 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 3: to go through his reads. How do you expect a 303 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 3: cornerback to be able to defend a receiver and be 304 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 3: able to take up space and see what's going on 305 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 3: if he's not having the time because there's no pressure 306 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 3: on your front seven on the cornerback to make his 307 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 3: life difficult. I'm not taking away from wide receiver or 308 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 3: tight end or a cornerback or any of those picks, 309 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 3: because those do make a difference, and you're not just 310 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 3: simply relying. It is a push and pull, a marriage 311 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 3: of the Russian cover and Russian coverage, and it all 312 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 3: starts the line of scrimmage. And I know that might 313 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 3: not be a quote unquote sexy either draft pick or 314 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 3: free agent signing, but the reality of this game, the 315 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 3: reality of this Cardinals team specifically, is that's where they're 316 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 3: going to win games. 317 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: Just look at the two quarterbacks on Sunday. Is Jalen 318 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: Hurts a better quarterback than Patrick Mahomes resume wise, No, 319 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: he's not. But Jalen Hurts had time to throw the 320 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: football and Patrick Mahomes did not. Mahomes looked like he 321 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: did when the Chiefs lost their first Super Bowl with 322 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: Mahomes against Tampa Bay when the Buccaneers pressured the heck 323 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: out of him. Now they blitzed the Eagles. I find 324 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: this fascinating did not blitz once in the entire game, 325 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: according to next Gen Stats, just the fourth defense to 326 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: not blitz in a game. Next Gen Stats has been 327 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,479 Speaker 1: tracking such data, and it happened once earlier this season 328 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: the Bills defense against the forty nine ers in Week thirteen. 329 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: Twice in twenty twenty four, a defense did not blitz. 330 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 1: If you can get home with just four Again, the 331 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: numbers game says you should not get to the opposing 332 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: quarterback rushing for when you have five protecting, but you 333 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: rush four, drop seven, whether you're playing man or just 334 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: playing zone coverage. Now, all of a sudden, yeah, that 335 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: is a game changer, and it was on Sunday. 336 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 3: You're looking at the numbers there there, it's no way 337 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 3: that the Chiefs are going to be able to find 338 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 3: success when you're talking about it like that of you're 339 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 3: able to drop seven and rush four and still beat 340 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 3: five offensive linemen. That is that is a tough battle 341 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 3: for the Chiefs. And that's exactly what it was. What 342 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,479 Speaker 3: was the stat they didn't They didn't make it to 343 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 3: the opponents. It was next I think you got it. 344 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: I've got it. Where can I find it? I just 345 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 1: had a one first down in the first half. Did 346 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,719 Speaker 1: not cross midfield. Here's what you're referring to. The Chiefs 347 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: did not cross midfield into the two thirty three mark 348 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: of the third. 349 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 3: Quarter, which I believe is also what around the same 350 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 3: time Kelsey even had his first reception. 351 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's and you look at the score like, well, 352 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 1: why was it so lopseted? Well, you don't get the 353 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: offense to your opponent's side of the field until less 354 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 1: than three minutes ago in the third quarter. I mean, 355 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: that's total domination. That's why, at least initially because I 356 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: was doing once. Once the game minuted, I was like, okay, 357 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: I gotta doing some things. And I came back and 358 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,199 Speaker 1: I find out Jalen Hurts gets named MVP. I was like, 359 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: what Jalen Hurts? My initial thought, why is he getting it? 360 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: The defense won the game. Can you single out though 361 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: one Eagles defender, Josh Sweat, Milton Williams, Cooper Dejen Zach BoNT, 362 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: they all had a hand in what was going on. 363 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: You can't give it to the defense, vic Fanzio, which 364 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: would have been awesome, But I was a little surprised 365 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: at least initially. All Right, can you not give it 366 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: to someone on the defense, since that's why the Eagles 367 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: won Super Bowl fifty nine. 368 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 3: That's what's hard. You can't give it to the whole defense. Otherwise, 369 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 3: if you could, they probably would have. And so if 370 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 3: that's not the case with Sequon Barkley not going off 371 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 3: the way he did, makes sense that it went Hurts and. 372 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,360 Speaker 1: Then, having more time to think about it, you look 373 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 1: at Hurts his numbers three total touchdowns, two passing, one rushing. 374 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 1: He led the team in rushing yards. I find you know, 375 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 1: you always hear a defense, a defensive coordinator when they're 376 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 1: looking at an opposing offense, all right, we're gonna try 377 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: to take away what you do best and let someone 378 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: else beat us. And if that's the case, we're fine 379 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 1: with that. It was clear to me, And if you disagree, 380 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 1: that's great. But the Chiefs were not going to allow 381 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,959 Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley to go off as he had done in 382 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: the playoffs leading up to Super Bowl fifty nine. And 383 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: you brought it up held under one hundred rushing yards 384 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: on Sunday his second worst performance of the season. 385 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 3: Which I think I was reading the stats wrong, so 386 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,239 Speaker 3: thank you for that. Of it was Jalen Hurts who 387 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 3: had seventy two rushing yards, which is what I believe 388 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 3: I said earlier the show. Saquon Barkley only had fifty seven. Now, 389 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 3: if you're Kansas City, that has to be the game plan. 390 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 3: That was the smart move is to take away Barkley. 391 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts was just able to use his legs in 392 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 3: a way that was able to still ruin them, and 393 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 3: that's sometimes the way it just goes. But I think 394 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 3: that is still the best plan is to game plan 395 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 3: for Saquon Barkley because that is the game maker for 396 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 3: the chief for the Eagles. Rather, I think you just 397 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 3: pair that with the fact that Kansas City's offense was 398 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 3: not good and could not move the chains, could not 399 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,199 Speaker 3: get anything going any momentum, and you pair that with 400 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 3: the fact that the Eagles were able to make do 401 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 3: not having their star running back be that dominant force 402 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 3: it he typically is. You're down to nothing at that 403 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 3: point for Kansas City. 404 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: Take away the run, which is always the number one goal. 405 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: We always hear that each and every week, stop the run, 406 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: contain the run. Eagles did exactly the Chiefs did exactly that, 407 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: and then all right, we'll force Jalen Hurts to beat us, 408 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: and if he does, okay, we'll live with that. And 409 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: he did. I mean, he wasn't great. I mean to 410 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 1: have over three hundred passing yards and like five or 411 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: four or five touchdowns, but he did enough and was 412 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 1: set up several times by the defense with short field position, 413 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: three takeaways. They got seventeen points off those three takeaways. 414 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: They win by eighteen. Now again those was at the 415 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: last ten fourteen points. The chief scored meaningless points unless 416 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 1: you know, you're you know, you got some money on 417 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: the line and you got some different prop bets or whatever. 418 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: But that was I mean, at some point, you're just like, Okay, 419 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,360 Speaker 1: the Eagles just were a dominant team on some day. 420 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: Congratulations to Philadelphia. As painful as that is for a 421 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: lot of people to say out loud, I had no 422 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 1: problem saying that because it was I wouldn't say you 423 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: marvel at what they did, but you come to appreciate 424 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: how they handled themselves all season, especially two years removed 425 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: from a crushing Super Bowl loss at State farm Stadium 426 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: and a season removed in which there was talk, loud 427 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: conversation Nick Sirianni needed to go. And here he is 428 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: hoisting the Lombardi Trophy for one the second time in 429 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: Eagles franchise history. 430 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 3: I couldn't really believe that Doug Peterson is the only 431 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 3: other coach in franchise history for Philly to have won 432 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 3: a Super Bowl. For some reason, that just caught me 433 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 3: by surprise. Of no offense to Doug Peterson, but that 434 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,360 Speaker 3: was just something I guess I was not recalling correctly. 435 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 3: It's so crazy because when we were talking about respecting 436 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 3: the Chiefs and Mahomes, specifically when they were down twenty 437 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 3: four to nothing going into the halftime, I had the 438 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 3: thought of, man, this could be one of the best 439 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 3: comeback similar to Patriots Falcons twenty eight to three. Of 440 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 3: holy smokes, Mahomes can still pull this off. Obviously they didn't. 441 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 3: But you go into halftime scoreless and nobody counts them 442 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 3: out still and that says something. 443 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: And they were getting the ball to begin the second half, 444 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: you score there all of a sudden, you get to 445 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: stop another score. Now it's twenty four to fourteen, and 446 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: just like that, the game is flipped. Didn't happen. And 447 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: again the fact that the Eagles were able to rush 448 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: four and drop seven fascinating sixteen pressures, eleven hits, six sacks, 449 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 1: the most in Mahomes' career. He was pressured talking about 450 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: Mahomes on better than thirty eight percent of his dropbacks. Again, 451 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: these are next gen stats, highest fifth highest pressure rate 452 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: in a single game in his career. So that's the 453 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: blueprint for success, not only against the Kansas City Chiefs, 454 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: but all thirty two teams. Gas, if you can again 455 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: get home with four and force a quarterback to look 456 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 1: at seven defenders with what six may be going out? 457 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, five going as I'm trying to do matham 458 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: my head. Now, all of a sudden, you've got again 459 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: the numbers advantaged on your side in the secondary, because 460 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: seven should be able to cover five. 461 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 3: Sounds easy. It looks easy when you watch another team 462 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 3: do it. 463 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: It certainly does. By the way, we were talking about 464 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: the offensive line and the defensive line for the Arizona Cardinals. 465 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: That had hit me again, this is all reportedly, nothing 466 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: officially has happened, but the line of scrimmage on both sides, 467 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 1: the ball are going to have new defensive or new 468 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: position coaches. Clayton Adams is now the OC with the 469 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, opens up the spot for the Cardinals offensive line. 470 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,719 Speaker 1: And I noticed that the Jacksonville Jaguars over the now 471 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: on the weekend announced their coaching staffs and Derek LeBlanc, 472 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: who according to reports, the team the Cardinals had moved 473 00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: on from, is now the assistant d line coach in Jacksonville. 474 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: So we talk about the most important offseason as far 475 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: as line of scrimmage, offensive line, defensive line, both with 476 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: new position coaches. 477 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it was not realistic for this coaching staff 478 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 3: to have the exact same staff after two full years. 479 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 3: For whatever reason that might be. That's just not how 480 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 3: it typically goes. It says a lot that majority of 481 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 3: the coaches that have moved on are because they were 482 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 3: hired for promotions essentially, whether that's college like linebackers coach 483 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 3: Sam Sifgez going to Virginia Virginia Tech Virginia Tech Virginia 484 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 3: Tech to be their coordinator there. So that says a 485 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 3: lot about the staff and the work they're doing and 486 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 3: the eyes that are around them. So props to JG. 487 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 3: And this staff and what he's doing with his staff. 488 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 3: Losing Clayton Adams is a tough blow when you're looking 489 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 3: at the success of this offensive line the last two years, 490 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 3: the way they have been able to dominantly run the 491 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 3: ball looking for a thousand yard rusher and James Connor 492 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,239 Speaker 3: in back to back years mostly this year did a 493 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 3: very nice job keeping the quarterback upright and giving him 494 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 3: time this year. So that's going to be a loss 495 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 3: for them. However, that's part of life in the NFL, 496 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,919 Speaker 3: and the players have got to step up to whoever 497 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 3: comes in and fills that role. The good news is 498 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 3: when you're talking about consistency, you have that with your 499 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,640 Speaker 3: coordinators and Drew pettsing and Nick Rollis and with head 500 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 3: coach Jonathan Gannon. So that is when you're talking about 501 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 3: the importance of consistency there. That is still important there. 502 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 3: The defense that is going to be interesting though, because 503 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 3: when you're talking about your front seven, that's going to 504 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 3: be a new coaching staff, defensive line with your linebackers. 505 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: And inside linebackers as well, so d line inside linebackers, 506 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: and we'll see if there are any other changes as well, 507 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 1: and hopefully we get official confirmation as far as the 508 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: coaching staff coming up, because I mean, now that the 509 00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: Super Bowl is behind us, the next big event scouting combine, 510 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: which you and I Danny will be there in Indianapolis 511 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: the last week of February, because that's now where you 512 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: figure out who you want to bring into the mix 513 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: in April. As far as those young faces, whether again 514 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: that's the offense or defense. But to me, you're sitting 515 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,120 Speaker 1: there at number sixteen and all of your at least again, 516 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: you're not going to pass on someone that you believe 517 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 1: can be someone that, regardless of position, that's going to 518 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,239 Speaker 1: be a potential eight, nine, ten year player for you. 519 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: But it's offensive line, it's defensive line, it's edge rush. 520 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: I'd even throw inside linebacker in there as well as 521 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: when you're talking about the front seven, that to me 522 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: has got to be the focus now of this offense, 523 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: at least when you're talking about the draft coming up 524 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:43,959 Speaker 1: at the end of April. 525 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 3: Absolutely, and those are the important pieces we know that 526 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 3: General manager Money Austoin for really prioritizes is talking about 527 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage and winning in the trenches, which 528 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 3: is what we've talked about. So it is something though, 529 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 3: to consider of sometimes where you're landing and who's available. 530 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 3: Sometimes it's best player available, sometimes it's position of need. 531 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 3: It is so much that goes into it, which is 532 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 3: so interesting to me, of all the moving pieces of 533 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 3: all of your draft picks and you're tying in free 534 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 3: agency and all of those aspects. But look, this Cardinals' 535 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 3: front office has shown through two years that they do 536 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 3: a nice job with their draft picks, and the coaching 537 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,239 Speaker 3: staff has done their part by coaching and getting the 538 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 3: most out of those draft picks. When you're looking at 539 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 3: the last two years, the amount of play by your rookies, Now, 540 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 3: last year I think was even different than the rookie 541 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 3: play this year because last year there was still a 542 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 3: lot of change in turnover, having a new general manager 543 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 3: and deciding who was going to be part of the 544 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 3: foundation moving forward. Whereas this year you were getting a 545 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 3: lot of rookie play because they'd earned it. That's something 546 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 3: Gannon has made very clear. Just because you're picked somewhere 547 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 3: in the draft or you're given a certain amount of money, 548 00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 3: you're going to earn your spot on the field. And 549 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 3: that's that's impressive that this scouting department and front office 550 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 3: is making the right decisions for what this coaching staff 551 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 3: wants out on the field, that the coaching staff is 552 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 3: able to get the most out of those picks. 553 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: That first draft class of Moni's played the most snaps 554 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: of any rookie class across the league. Now, it's certainly 555 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: helped when he had a twelve player draft class and 556 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: then this most recent draft class, again fewer players, but 557 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: there were impact players. Marvin Harrison junior. Obviously you would 558 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: hope with a full season of Darius Robinson, there's another 559 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: first round pick, you certainly hope that there is a 560 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: next step for Darius coming up in year two, which 561 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: will really be his first full season. Because these college 562 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: kids when they come out that first off season, it's 563 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: a blur because your senior, your college career is done nil. 564 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, it's all right, Now, we've got 565 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: to prepare for the combine. You're going through all of that. 566 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: Then you land in a brand new city and try 567 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: to get used to what the pro level is and 568 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: what it takes to be a pro and be good 569 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 1: on Sunday, Monday through Saturday means a heck of a lot, 570 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: and compared to college, you need a little bit more 571 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: than just talent alone. How you study, how you take 572 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: care of your body, and I think it takes a 573 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: little while for some of those college kids, regardless of 574 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: where you're drafted, to figure out, I know what I 575 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: need to do to get my body ready on Sunday 576 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: and to be successful on Sunday. 577 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 3: Quarterback Garrett Williams is a great example. Missed the first 578 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 3: half of his rookie year because of an ACL injury 579 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 3: he sustained in college. Now, no two injuries, no two 580 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 3: recoveries are the same. However, Williams had a fantastic year 581 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 3: this year, one of the best lock corners in the 582 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 3: league statistically. So you would hope that Robinson would have 583 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 3: a similar trajectory in that sense of, Okay, he's got 584 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 3: the first year, the chaos and everything that goes into 585 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 3: that and all the moving pieces, and now gets a 586 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 3: full off season to really make sure he is ready 587 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 3: to go, understanding physically and mentally what's being asked of him, 588 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 3: and going out there and putting in some good work 589 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 3: and some good stuff on tape. Max Mountain the cornerback, 590 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 3: another rookie who had a really good year, and I 591 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 3: liked what we saw from running back Trey Benson when 592 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 3: he got some opportunities. 593 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: The good news is as we walked over here, came 594 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: over here to this building, the parking lot, the players 595 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: parking lot not as crowded as it would be on 596 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 1: a regular season week one week, two week, good number 597 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: of cars in that parking lot. And I'll say this, 598 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is here. I spotted him earlier today, so 599 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: he is again. Technically, the season has been over for 600 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: a month now, little less than a month with the 601 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: Cardinals the rest of the league. Now Eagles Chiefs got 602 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: to catch up as far as that offseason preparation is concerned. 603 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: But it does say something that when your quarterback is 604 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: here and again maybe not a vocal leader, lead by example. 605 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: If your qbs in the building and you're not, maybe 606 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: you should think about maybe spend a little bit more 607 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: time in this building because this this these days, these 608 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: months they do matter absolutely. 609 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 3: Now there are people who don't train here, correct, they 610 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 3: have people they have worked with throughout their career. They 611 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 3: go home or whatever they do. So it's not to 612 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 3: say they're not physically here, they are not putting in 613 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 3: the work. But absolutely, leaning by example is crucial. 614 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: Before we sign off here, Good news, bad news? What 615 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: do you want first? 616 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 3: Bad news? 617 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 1: Bad news? Okay, the bad news is you're not heading 618 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: to Ireland in twenty twenty five. 619 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 3: Why not? 620 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: The Steelers are the designated home team and the Cardinals 621 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: are not. 622 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 3: On the schedule, so we still have Germany as an option, 623 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 3: is what you were saying. 624 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: Now, good news if you want to look ahead, sure, 625 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. Australia is now on the schedule. 626 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 3: What a flight? 627 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: Holy smokes the Rams. It was announced late last week 628 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: in New Orleans the NFL headed to Australia first ever 629 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: NFL game down Under. Rams are the deasgnated home team, 630 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: and yes, the Cardinals among the list of opponents for 631 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,719 Speaker 1: the Rams. Yes, it's happened before. When you have a 632 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: Division game on one of these international sites, it happens 633 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: quite often, at least for the Arizona Cardinals, whether that's 634 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: Mexico City or London. But twenty twenty six, if you 635 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: can afford to look ahead beyond twenty twenty five, Not 636 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: that you're going to get any reaction out of anyone 637 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: else but you and I Danny, as far as coaches 638 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: and players, but Australia traveling to Australia from Phoenix, Arizona. 639 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 3: Australia seems to be sixteen hours ahead of US. Typically, 640 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 3: when you go international, the team will go out only 641 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 3: a couple days before the game. Like, depending on how 642 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 3: far you are, you might fly out on a Thursday 643 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 3: for a Sunday game. It's really not as long as 644 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 3: people might think. If you're sending me to Australia and 645 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 3: you expect me to be alive with that time change, 646 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 3: you better be sending me out there for a full 647 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 3: week to adjust and then giving me a full bye 648 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 3: week on the back end get back. 649 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 1: My guess is that teams that head to Australia or 650 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: have those longer flights the easiest way is okay? Is 651 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: that easy? And I don't know this I as I 652 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: look on a map, I have no idea. Is it 653 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,399 Speaker 1: easy to fly from the west coast or the East 654 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: coast if you're flying to Australia. 655 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:19,439 Speaker 3: I don't know the answer. 656 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: So you so whatever the reason. So if you're whatever 657 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: coast it is, then those teams you're staying on that 658 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 1: coast and flying from there and to your point. And 659 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 1: it's pretty cool, though you better have a bye week 660 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: after that. 661 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 3: Is pretty cool though, I'll be curious to see if 662 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 3: that if that would be a division game. I mean, 663 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,239 Speaker 3: Mexico City was between the Cardinals and Rams a couple 664 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 3: of years ago, and. 665 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,320 Speaker 1: The Cardinals have gone into London and played division opponents 666 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: as well. But by the way, the other Rams opponents 667 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: for twenty twenty six if you're curious, anyone else Seahawks 668 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers obviously, Cowboys, Giants, Chiefs, Chargers. 669 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,839 Speaker 3: Hmmm, those are some pretty big friends tries as well 670 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:05,399 Speaker 3: when you're talking about brands. Yes, be interesting, and. 671 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: Who knows what's going to happen with the Cowboys or 672 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: the Giants as far as quarterbacks and personnel. Oh boy, 673 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones down under, that would be fascinating to watch 674 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: and follow. It would be something, all right, So yes, 675 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: dare to dream, Danny, make sure that passport is up 676 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 1: to date or even potentially Germany in twenty twenty five. 677 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 3: What's the weather in Australia? Is it always nice? 678 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 1: Isn't it like completely opposite of where we currently are, 679 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: Like if it's summer here, it's winter. 680 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 3: There, Okay, so it still gets cold. 681 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: So it would be September, so it would be I 682 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 1: guess the weather should. 683 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 3: Be good, right, Okay, I'll take it. 684 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: Okay, And then you'd have to spend a couple of 685 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:55,280 Speaker 1: days in Australia at a tour after the game, right, sure, 686 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,880 Speaker 1: So maybe you would need a full week. I want 687 00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: to say a full week in Australia after the game, 688 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,800 Speaker 1: but a couple days probably, Okay, all right, this is 689 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: good planning, by the way. 690 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 3: Now here's what you have to consider, is it's much 691 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 3: nicer for however long of a flight that is, let 692 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,879 Speaker 3: me look that up to do that on the team 693 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 3: charter plane, then do that on a commercial flight. 694 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: That's for sure, that's true. Does the team leave immediately 695 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 1: after the game or perhaps if it's a if it's 696 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 1: a good game and it's a win, do you spend 697 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 1: another day or two because the bye week follows that 698 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 1: you allow players to spend you know, twenty four to 699 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: forty hours and then come back. 700 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 3: So it would be different. I would imagine probably a 701 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 3: little faster on a charter rather than a domestic flight. 702 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,240 Speaker 3: But when I just put in to Google, it says 703 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,879 Speaker 3: flights to Australia. So from Phoenix to Sydney with one 704 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 3: stop would be almost eighteen hours of travel. 705 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, that's a toll on the body right there. 706 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:57,439 Speaker 1: Eighteen okay, you know which, you can see, I gotta 707 00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 1: start resting up. It becomes part of the work day, 708 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 1: eight hours of work and then the other four the 709 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 1: other half you're just you're sleeping. Yeah, so it's a 710 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: work work from the air instead of work from home. 711 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,279 Speaker 1: Work from the air. Sure should be a lot of fun. 712 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,359 Speaker 1: And again hopefully the you know, as far as twenty 713 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,840 Speaker 1: twenty five Cardinals and Colts potentially in Germany, and then 714 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 1: we'll have to wait and see what happens in twenty 715 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,839 Speaker 1: twenty six. And on that note, we'll put a lit 716 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,320 Speaker 1: on this edition of Cardinals Cover two, presented by Hundai, 717 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: partner of the Arizona Cardinals.
