Speaker 1: three time pro bowler, Kyle Vandenbosch, and thirteen year NFL

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: veteran Drew Stanton. A much needed win, a much needed

13
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: division win. It's been a little while, gentlemen, since we've

14
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: had a win to discuss here on a Tuesday. The

15
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: Cardinals been the Rams on Sunday one seven to seventeen.

16
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: It just feels different, right, Drew, after a win versus

17
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: well previous weeks, it feels completely different, and it feels

18
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: really good. You know. That's the thing though, that then

19
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: when they were rolling last year, it was that one

20
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: to no mentality because each week is so different in

21
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: this league of what it takes to win, the game,

22
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: plans different, the opponent's different, everything is different. And you're

23
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: now leading into this next week, you're leaving the country

24
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: that's going to be different. It's still a divisional game,

25
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: it's still very important, but you look back and you

26
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: can build off the things you did correctly, but it's

27
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: a lot easier to correct those mistakes. Coming away with

28
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: a win. Last week was the most important game of

29
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: the season, Kyle, This week now becomes the most important

30
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: game of the season. That's where this team is at

31
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: when you are four and six in a dug yourself

32
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: such a large hole. Yeah, each win is important, but

33
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: there is no tomorrow if you don't win. That's that's

34
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: how close this team is right now in twenty twenty two. Now,

35
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. Um yeah, And I love that the

36
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: mentality has shifted. You know, we're not talking about worrying

37
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: about a late season collapse. We're not talking about anything

38
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: except for what do we have to do to get

39
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: to win this week? And you know, to Drew's point,

40
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: that's how football should be played, regardless of it's the

41
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: first game, the third game, or here we are mid season,

42
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: still with an opportunity with everything in front of us.

43
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: But we've got to continue to play efficient type football

44
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: and execute on Sundays and when you can, it looks

45
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: like it did on this past Sunday and you know,

46
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: a win and Drew could tell you this, it does

47
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: so much for the morale of the locker room. I mean,

48
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: it's not just your preparation seems better. You're just happier

49
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: throughout the week. Your bumps and bruises don't hurt quite

50
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: as much. Everything is a little bit better. Coming off

51
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: of a win and going into another big matchup the

52
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: next week and getting a win over the Rams only

53
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: the seconds since Sean McVay took over as head coach.

54
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: That's spanning several seasons. But you look back at what

55
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: happened on Sunday, Sofi Stadium. Offense, good defense, good special teams,

56
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: good that complimentary football, even though you had a backup quarterback,

57
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: four backups on the offensive line, your fourth different kicker

58
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: that the head coach, Cliff Kingsbury liked what he saw

59
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: from his team. There are a bunch of starting player

60
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: as a bunch of guys down and I thought our

61
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: team prepared well all week, didn't make excuses, didn't blink,

62
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: and executed at a high level. Colt brought a lot

63
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: of energy. A guy knows, you know, at his age

64
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: you do only have so many more opportunities to show

65
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: what type of player you can be, and he took

66
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: in it. Ran this week, his leadership, getting there early,

67
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: staying late. The whole team felt it, and I think

68
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: they fed out that today as the backup quarterback, Drew.

69
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: You always have to prepare as if you're the starter,

70
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: whether that's game day and you get that tap on

71
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: the shoulder or in this case, perhaps a couple of

72
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: days ahead in which you know that the starter is

73
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: not going to play, Kyler Murray dealing with a hamstring injury,

74
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden the keys are handed to

75
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: you in a very pivotal game this season. Yeah, I mean,

76
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: it sounds like a cliche until it isn't right. Everybody

77
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: wants to be the backup until you have to out

78
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: there and perform, and if you don't perform, well, if

79
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: you perform like John Wolford, they're sitting there scratching on

80
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: ahead and saying this guy's not the answer moving forward.

81
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: But somebody like Colt McCoy that's been in this league

82
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: for a decade, that has the preparation and again staying

83
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: late in arriving early, is not just going to change

84
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: because of this week. That's who he is, that's ingrained

85
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: in the process of who he is. So when he

86
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: steps foot on that field, when he gets that tap

87
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: on the shoulder pregame and says he can't go, When

88
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: he gets that tap on the shoulder and says, hey,

89
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: Kylin might be out this week, he doesn't blink, He

90
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: doesn't change. The preparation doesn't change. All eyes in the

91
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: locker room go to him, and the consistency that he has,

92
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: the approach he has brings a calmness to that locker room,

93
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: probably much different than that locker room for the Los

94
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams were saying, wait, Matthew Stafford's in the concussion protocol,

95
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: Like what's going on? John Wolford, No disrespect to him,

96
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: But you saw two different teams. You saw a team

97
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: that was confident, that could go out there, stay on schedule,

98
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: do all these things. You saw a quarterback comfortable working

99
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: within the and finds an offense and then on the

100
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: flip side, you saw a quarterback for the Los Angeles

101
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: Rams who looks unsettled, who looked indecisive, that threw the ball,

102
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, in harm's way, that looked inaccurate and looked

103
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: like he was playing backguard football that he wasn't prepared.

104
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: And that is the difference between surviving this league as

105
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: a backup at any position, more so magnified at the

106
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: quarterback position. But somebody like Colt McCoy, anybody that knows Colt,

107
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: that understands his career, the path that he's been on,

108
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: is not surprised at all, especially these Cardinals fans. We

109
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: saw it last year, two in one, last year, now

110
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: three and one in two seasons. But that's the difference here, Kyle,

111
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: because Colt McCoy has been in this league. This is

112
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: year thirteen, so he's very well aware of any situation

113
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: that's put in front of him, even if it is

114
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: coming in at a moment's notice. Yeah, and I mean

115
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 1: the impressive thing was I mean, right from the start,

116
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: it looked like he had had the keys to this

117
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: offense the entire season. You know, if you didn't know

118
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: any better, you would think that this is an NFL

119
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. I mean, he came out there, you know,

120
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: it was decisive, did a fantastic job with his pre

121
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: snap reads, had a good idea where he was going

122
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: to go with the ball before the snap, got rid

123
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: of it quickly, you know, did all of the things

124
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: you have to do when everything is unsettled around him.

125
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: I mean again with backups on this offensive line, who

126
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: suged a lot of credit for the game they had,

127
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: for the job they did against Aaron Donald, for the

128
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: job they did protecting Colton McCoy. But you know, the

129
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: offense came out and it just looked and felt a

130
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: little different. I mean, and the credit goes to Colt

131
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: McCoy for his preparation, for his study, for his anticipation

132
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: about what coverages he was gonna get, and you know,

133
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: to come out and throw the ball eleven straight times.

134
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody expected that. But it was a

135
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: tremendous job by him, a great game plan and great

136
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: job executing by him. The offensive line and the receivers. Well,

137
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: let's hear from the man, Colt McCoy, on what he

138
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: was and the entire team having to do overcoming all

139
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: those injuries to the offensive line. We were down all

140
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: over the place. The offensive line was banged up, Zat

141
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: got hurt the first drive, but the defense played outstanding.

142
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: We executed, We made plays on fourth down when we

143
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: needed to. I'm telling you, I'm just proud to be

144
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: on this team. We're better than our record, and we

145
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: just have to dig deep in and find ways to

146
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: turn this thing around. You heard Colt there mentioned zach

147
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: referring to tight end zach Ertz. Nothing official from the

148
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, though there are reports out there Drew that

149
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: zach Ertz is done for the season with a knee injury.

150
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: He was on the field briefly on Sunday. The first target,

151
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: first catch, and then he goes down and he immediately

152
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: grabs that left knee. You hope for the best, but

153
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like we're gonna see ERTs the rest

154
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: of this season. Yeah. I mean, even if he's able

155
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: to come back, it's gonna be a while. When you

156
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: see what transpired it and the way that it happened,

157
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: there's not much reason for optimism. But now somebody's got

158
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: to step up, and that's why you have a second

159
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: round pick in Trey McBride that has the capability of

160
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: doing it. You have somewhere you like Steve Hyden that

161
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: can do it. You can also do it by committee

162
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: who they plug and play in there. That's an integral

163
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: piece for this offense because that helps control the middle

164
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: of the field. It's also been nice to see everything

165
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: transpire for Rondel Moore to be able to get more

166
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: involved do all these things. But again, that security blanket

167
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: of somebody like zach Ertz is really hard to replace.

168
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: But those reps are gonna have to be filled by somebody.

169
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: McBride one catch for seven yards saw Stephen Anderson get

170
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: a target as well as Culte. McCoy did a very

171
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: good job as spreading that ball around. He was twenty

172
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: six of thirty seven for two hundred and thirty eight

173
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown seventy percent. He completed his past attempts.

174
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 1: The head coach, Cliff Kingsbury, on what he saw out

175
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: of quote McCoy, I think the biggest deal first half.

176
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: I told you at halftime, thirty eight snaps, only one

177
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: negative play. We had some penalties to start the second half,

178
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 1: a sack that we can't take, but that's how we

179
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: gotta play. We gotta play downhill, be a fish and

180
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: get the ball out, get it to our playmakers and

181
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: not take the negative plays. And thirty a good job

182
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: keeping us on scheduling was really accurate in the passing game.

183
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: This team on Sunday, Kyle was able to play, as

184
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,479
Speaker 1: Kingsbury likes to say, on schedule ahead of the sticks.

185
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 1: There was only one offensive penalty in the first half,

186
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: That's what coach was referencing, Josh Jones fall start on

187
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: the opening drive. That was the only negative play of

188
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: the first half. In fact, there was only one play

189
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: run outside of the two sacks that lost yards James

190
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: Connor minus one in the fourth quarter. Other than that, things, yes,

191
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: looked much different, but this team was able to keep

192
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: moving forward as opposed to going backwards. Yeah, on schedule

193
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: and with the lead, I mean, this team trailed for

194
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: six minutes, they matched the field goal, and the game

195
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: felt like it was over at that point. And again,

196
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: you know, really the whole team looked more prepared for

197
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: this game than they had in any of the previous games,

198
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: particularly on offense. Like he talked about, they didn't do

199
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: things to put them in third and long situations. Made

200
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: it third and manageable, and even you know, we talked

201
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: so much about the confidence at Colt McCoy, but to

202
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: put the ball in his hands and go for it

203
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: on four or on three fourth sounds and just let

204
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: him go. And quite honestly, I mean we I talked

205
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: to me when I talked about this post game, but

206
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: that sequence with nine nineteen left in the game, they've

207
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: got third and seventeen and they get it. He completes

208
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: a fourteen yard past the rondel Moore to get in

209
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: fourth and three, and it's pretty much at midfield with

210
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: only a touchdown lead, and they go for it and

211
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: take a deep shot to rondel Moore. That shows tremendous

212
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: confidence in Colt McCoy, the offensive line and rondel Moore,

213
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: And it just shows what they believe they have in

214
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: a player like Colt McCoy as a backup coming in

215
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: and the confidence they have in his ability and his

216
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: accuracy and the trust that they have in him. Two

217
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: plays later, James Connor nine yard touchdown run to extend

218
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: the lead to fourteen. Now full disclosure drew at the time,

219
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: Kyle and I watching that game. I like when Cliff

220
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: goes forward on fourth down. I did not like the

221
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: deep shot though, especially because of the high risk at

222
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 1: that point on the field score. And then of course

223
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: it was a tremendous throw and an even better catch

224
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: and near the sideline. Yeah, well, I think that's also

225
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: the game within the game. If you think back early

226
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: on all right, and they take a deep shot Rondell Moore,

227
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 1: they miss it, he gets squeezed to the sideline. I

228
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if Colt went over and said, hey,

229
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come back to you again, give me more space.

230
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: He would. I know that we've talked about that as well.

231
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: On fourth down taking the deep shot, those are calculated risks.

232
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: That was a calculated risk by Colt McCoy, but he

233
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: also knew he had a favorable matchup. He did a

234
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: tremendous job of holding the safety and Rondell Moore gave

235
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: him so much. I mean it was three or four

236
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: yards from the sideline. For an NFL quarterback to have

237
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: that amount of room to throw it into the quote

238
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: unquote bucket, it's a high percentage throw. Rondell made a

239
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: tremendous catch, but that's a high percentage throw. On fourth down,

240
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: those opportunities don't come and Colt did such a good

241
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: job of taking completions early on, taking completions across the

242
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: board to so many different wide receivers, and when the

243
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: opportunity presented itself, much like on AJ Green's touchdown or

244
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: that fourth down conversion, that is a high percentage throwing

245
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: the NFL. When the opportunity is right and it's conducive

246
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: to do so, you don't just throw it up for

247
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: the sake of throwing it up. It's not a fifty

248
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: fifty ball when you feel good about the matchup, because

249
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: that's what's taking you there, through preparation, through adapting, throughout

250
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: the course of it. Right, we saw these completions early

251
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 1: on because they were playing his soft zone. All of

252
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: a sudden, as soon as you get those completions, you

253
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: bring them up. Once you bring them up, you try

254
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: to go deep. So there's that cat and mouse game

255
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: that was played back and forth, and when the game

256
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: was on the line, felt good enough to say, hey,

257
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: Rondell was going to win this one on one matchup,

258
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: and they did it. And that's the difference between winning

259
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: and losing in the league. This is that small of

260
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: a marginal area because we've seen it on the flip

261
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: side when it doesn't work out, Everybody saying, what is

262
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: he doing throwing the ball up? It's not like he's

263
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: just throwing the ball up a hail Mary style. There's

264
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: a reason behind it. It's not a scramble or a

265
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: broken play. He knows exactly where he's going. He is

266
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: taking a calculator risk and it paid off. Were wonderful

267
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: one handed grab by Rondel Moore there, and then we

268
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: also saw the defense step up with two takeaways the

269
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: offense converting those turnovers into ten points and that's the

270
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: margin of victory for the Cardinals twenty seven to seventeen.

271
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: And as we discussed, Cardinals end a two game losing

272
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: Streakday had lost four or five over also coming in

273
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: on a Monday, Yeah, much better. Antonio Hamilton and Kelvin

274
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: Beacham on what I first heard Vitamin W. Vitamin W

275
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: is always good. You know, it makes it easier to

276
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: go to work. It makes it easy to deal with

277
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: the knick snacks and bruises and paints. You know, it

278
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: makes it easier to go to work. And so we

279
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: needed that Vitamin W. What's vitamin W. Oh, I'm gonna

280
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: put myself in Kelvin Beacham's shoes there, Kyle, because I

281
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't Antonio mentioned vitamin W was vitamin W. I've never

282
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: heard that after a win coming in on a Monday. Yeah,

283
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. It is. It's it's

284
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: like you get a boost to your system and everybody

285
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: just does feel better. You got a little bit more

286
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: of a spring in your step throughout practice, throughout your

287
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: preparation for the next week. When you get that payoff

288
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: for all the hard work you put in, for all

289
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: the film study, for how hard you practice, it feels

290
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: so sad as buying to walk off the field winners.

291
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: And you know, throughout the season we talked about it.

292
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: It's not just the losses that the Cardinals have had.

293
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's the way they lose that is discouraging. And

294
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: this one, you know, any win feels great, sometimes an

295
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: ugly win feels fantastic. But it's not just the w

296
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: it's the way they won, and that is what's encouraging

297
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: going forward because they seem to put a lot of

298
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: the mistakes, a lot of the things that had been

299
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: killing them in the rear view mirror and if they

300
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: can continue that and prepare the same way and come

301
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: in and execute the same way they did this past week,

302
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: they're going to have an opportunity to win games down

303
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: the road. Also need to mention kicker Tristan Vscano who

304
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: was signed on Saturday joined the team actually Ubert from Irvine,

305
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: California to the team hotel according to Senior VP of

306
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: Media Relations Mark Dalton on Saturday night, and really the

307
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: first time with that whole process of snap hold and

308
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: kick was pregame on Sunday at SOFI Stadium. Cardinals get

309
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: the W twenty seven to seventeen. As we continue breaking

310
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: down that game here on the Cardinals Red Sea Report

311
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: presented by Seat get your Ticket to Great Seats. Cardinals

312
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: looking to make it two in a row now this

313
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: week another division opponent in the San Francisco forty nine

314
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: ers in the game on Monday Night football in Mexico City.

315
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: Much more on that matchup as we continue here on

316
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: this Tuesday. But when we come back the offense, Yes,

317
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: cold McCoy the star, but he had help. We'll get

318
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: into the details next here on the Arizona Cardinals where

319
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: I DOO Network or the three on the forty one

320
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: of the Rams three receivers right shotgun Staff McCoy drops

321
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: back to throw a deep ball left side and a

322
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: one handed chet by Rondel four inside the twenty at

323
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: the fifteen he's out of bounds. There. What a time

324
00:15:54,680 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: by Cole McCoy. Incredible grab by Rondale Moore. O my goodness,

325
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: Colt McCoy just dropped a pan with fimball. Theco under

326
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: center takes get the Connor off the left side, trying

327
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: to get the atchtip arming at the ten to five

328
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: dish for the end zone. He's in. It's a touchdown

329
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: for Connor this second of the day. The offense has

330
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: come alive under Colt McCoy here in LA and they

331
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: leaded twenty three to ten. Give the ball to an

332
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: angry man with an angry run. James Connor is season

333
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: high twenty one carries for a season best sixty nine

334
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: rushing yards and two touchdowns, at one a nine yard run.

335
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: And we talked about that throw and catch Colton McCoy

336
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: to Rondel Moore on fourth and three at the Rams

337
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: forty one yard line. That probably the play of the game.

338
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: You can point the mini plays but that sequence you

339
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: put the Cardinals in front twenty four to ten with

340
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: seven forty one to go, and they win beat the

341
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: Rams twenty seven to seventeen. As we continue here on

342
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: the Cardinals Red Seaber presented by Seek Your Ticket to

343
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: Great Seats Craig Rio, Drew Stanton, and CoV Anibosh, as

344
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: we look at not just quote McCoy Drew, but the playmakers,

345
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: specifically Rondel Moore, who has come alive in recent weeks.

346
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: His nine catches ninety four yards season highs thirteen targets,

347
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: So you could see that. I don't know how much

348
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: Colt gets an opportunity to throw to la Rondel Moore

349
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: or DeAndre Hopkins, but that chemistry between quarterback and wide

350
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: receivers was instant. Yeah. Well, I think it's a comfort

351
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: level within the offense right now that he's been here

352
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: for a while. He understands what's going on and under

353
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: to the understanding the framework of what the defense is

354
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: trying to do to him. I think, you know we

355
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: touched on at the last segment. When you're a veteran quarterback,

356
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: you understand the flow of the game, you understand your role,

357
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 1: you understand all the things that it's going to take

358
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: to win, and depending on what they're doing with DeAndre right,

359
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: he was taking easy completions DeAndre. Then all of a

360
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: sudden you start getting different coverages, you get different opportunities.

361
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: And if you know Jalen Ramsey is going to be

362
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: on DeAndre Hopkins man to man, who are they going

363
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: to put on Rondel Moore? And we saw that time

364
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: and time again. To be able to get the ball

365
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: in Rondel Moore's hands on the move, I've talked about

366
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: on the show before. It's imperative because he makes everything

367
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: just go that much faster. When he's got to catch

368
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: it stationary and then get going and get up to speed.

369
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: Guys are going to rally to that. But if you

370
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: get the ball in his hands and give him space

371
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: or doing all these things on the move. He is

372
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: a dynamic playmaker. There's a reason why he was a

373
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: second round pick because he has that kind of playmaking ability.

374
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: He's found a role within this offense. He is the

375
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: difference maker of between last year and this year of

376
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: why everybody feels good. And when you get Hollywood round

377
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: back on this field too, it's going to be even

378
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: more dynamic because of what they bring to the table.

379
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: It's going to put defenses in a bind because now

380
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: you're doing that. On top of okay, you're also seeing

381
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: AJ Green show up in the stack column in areas

382
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: that you would expect him to in the red zone. Again,

383
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: if you put a third corner or a fourth guy

384
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: on AJ Green, he is going to be a premium

385
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: within the framework of that offense. And Colt did a

386
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: good job of getting the ball in his hand. So

387
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: even though we lose zach Ertz, I think that getting

388
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: a Hollywood Brown back very soon will be a huge,

389
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: huge boost and what this offense has already trended in

390
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: the right direction for there's a possibility that Hollywood be

391
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: able to return before the bye week. That's according to

392
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury. If not before the bye week, then after

393
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: the bye week. But you talk about AJ Green and again, Kyle,

394
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: it was just two catches, but huge catches, one on

395
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: fourth down, one for a touchdown, someone that the year

396
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,719
Speaker 1: or the week previous was only on the field for

397
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 1: one offensive snap and we've seen him not play this season,

398
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: and it's got to be difficult for someone who was

399
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver number one for so many years and now

400
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: he comes here and he's not even wide receiver number

401
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: two anymore. Yeah again, you know that's that's tough. It's tough.

402
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: Look I was there. You know, when your play starts

403
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: to decline late in your career, you start to see

404
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: you know, you're losing a little bit of playing time,

405
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: but you still feel like you're the man. You still

406
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: feel like you can do the things you did earlier

407
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: in your career. You know. But for him, he's shown up.

408
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: He showed up this week, made a couple of huge

409
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: plays that were a big factor in this game. For

410
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: him to stay involved, stay invested, act like a true pro,

411
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: go out there, continue to practice, keep his head down,

412
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: stay very businessliking, and when the team needed him the most,

413
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: he stepped up and it you know again, you know,

414
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: it wasn't a game where he lit up to stat column,

415
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: It wasn't a game where he was featured or targeted.

416
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 1: But when his number was called, he did what you

417
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: know a true team player does. He made the plays

418
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: that came to him. Well, there was Rondel Moore, DeAndre

419
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: Hopkins or aj Greencote. McCoy certainly had his options as

420
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: far as were to throw the football. Here's McCoy post

421
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: game on the number of playmakers stepping up against the Rams,

422
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: Rondel hop aj Jamee. They just they made a bunch

423
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: of plays. When Zach went down, Traded a nice job

424
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,959
Speaker 1: stepping up and playing. So I'm just stay food to

425
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: be the guy calling the signals out there, and those

426
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: guys made plays and that's probably won the game. Heard

427
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: a lot of cold McCoy deferring credit to what happened

428
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: on Sunday, as any good quarterback does. But we also

429
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: saw something that I don't know drew a lot of

430
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: people anticipated scene, and that was eleven straight pass attempts

431
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: to begin the game, especially when you had four backups

432
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: on that offensive line and Aaron Donald on the other side.

433
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: Yet that was the game plan, and it seemed to

434
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: work because Donald got tired, the entire defensive line got tired, exactly.

435
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: I mean, when you have a quick pass game, or

436
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 1: a screen game, or that can become an extension of

437
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: your run game. And when you look at the stat column,

438
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: you say, man, they didn't run the ball that well, well, yeah,

439
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: when we were in Detroit, right, we didn't have a

440
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: great run game. So our quick pass game became a

441
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: part of our run game. That's what kept us on schedule,

442
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: being able to be in a second down and manageable

443
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: a third down and manageable when you do that, and

444
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: you play off coverage as much as they do, and

445
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: you change coverage up and you do all these things.

446
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: If you're decisive with the football, your feet are good,

447
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: if you get the ball out on time and you

448
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: go through it and you're very good, then you're going

449
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 1: to put yourself ahead of the chains and ahead of

450
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: the sticks. That's what this team did. That's what this

451
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,959
Speaker 1: team did because the quarterback was confident in what he

452
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: was seeing and it wasn't you know, sometimes you see

453
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: like a quick out, you see a hitch, you see

454
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: even on the fourth down. Colt got rid of that

455
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: ball before AJ even turned around and put it in

456
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: only one place where AJ could and did her tremendous job.

457
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: The anticipation that goes with that, the understanding of that,

458
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: so again not surprised at all. And when you don't

459
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: know what you're going to get with a backup quarterback

460
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: and say, okay, well you know, maybe the thought process

461
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: is to run it, Aaron Donald will get entitled tired

462
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: when you have eleven straight passes to start a game

463
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 1: and you flip the script like that and put everybody

464
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: on their toes or on their heels, however you want

465
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: to phrase it. They don't know what to expect because

466
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: do you rush, do you come? Okay? Well, eventually they're

467
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: gonna have to run the football. They're gonna have to

468
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: run the football. And then eleven times in a row

469
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: you passed the football. You kind of said this, okay,

470
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: well we're gonna, you know, deviate from what we think

471
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: everybody else is going to do, and you're gonna have

472
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: to play on us. And we saw that again. The

473
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: ebbs and flows of that game is that the ups

474
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: and downs because they knew offensively what the Rams were

475
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: going to present. They couldn't stablish the run, They couldn't

476
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: stabish the past. Where are they going to go? You

477
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: just even though the score was what the score was,

478
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: it never felt like the Cardinals were ever in jeopardy

479
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: of losing. This game, which is a far cry from

480
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: where it's been overall, was a fourteen play opening drive. Again,

481
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: eleven straight past attempts. Quote McCoy postgame asked about that's

482
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: how the game began We understand that they have the

483
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: best pass rush in the game, right, best player in

484
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: the game, and I just wanted to run some quick game,

485
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: maybe stretch them side to side, get him a little tired.

486
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: And eventually we did that and our run games started.

487
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: You know, we started hitting a few holes and James

488
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: did a nice job, and that was the plan. You know,

489
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: Cliff told me we might throw it fifty times. I

490
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: don't think we got there, but we were just a fishing.

491
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: We had a company too. I hate the three and ounce.

492
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: We had some in the first half. We didn't come

493
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: out on in the second half, but our defense kept

494
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,959
Speaker 1: the senate and glad to come out on top. Twenty

495
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: seven pass attempts from Colt McCoy in the first half,

496
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: only ten in the second half. But you're playing with

497
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: the lead and then all of a sudden is cult reference.

498
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: You can lean on a James Connor and get that

499
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: ground game going right. You know, when it's two teams

500
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,239
Speaker 1: that come into a game just decimated with injuries, and

501
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: they talked about this pregame. You know, I believe in

502
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: an NFL game, coaches come up with a game plan,

503
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: but the players, they're the ones that winner. Lose the

504
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: games on Sundays. This one is a tremendous feather in

505
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury's hat. I feel like he came out with

506
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 1: a great game plan, got the players prepared to execute.

507
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: You know, look, if this is a game of chess,

508
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 1: the Rams, you know, they've got three queens. They've got

509
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, They've got Cooper Cup, and they've got Jalen Ramsey,

510
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: and all three of them probably had their worst games

511
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: of the season. I mean, statistically, Cooper Cup had his

512
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: worst half prior to his injury that he had his

513
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: entire career. And again, a lot like the first time

514
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: we played the Rams last year, the game plan was

515
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: find a way to wear out Aaron Donna. Last year

516
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 1: we ran right at him and tried to wear him

517
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 1: out this way, that way. This game, you know, coming

518
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: out with those eleven passes, getting him running sideline to sideline,

519
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: really not making him a non factor early in this game,

520
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: took him out of the game entirely on Sunday. So

521
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: it was a tremendous game plan in great execution by

522
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: the players on the field. Donald only one quarterback sack

523
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: and Jalen Ramsey eights of the ten catches that de

524
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: hop had came with Ramsey in coverage. So great offensive performance.

525
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: Going back to the ground game, though, James Connor again

526
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: seasoned eyes and rushing attempts, rushing yards and rushing touchdowns.

527
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: First time though that Connor has really been healthy all season.

528
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,479
Speaker 1: Here's the head coach. We wanted to let him go.

529
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: He's been banged up throughout the first part of the

530
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: year and this is the first week he felt really

531
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: healthy in that we felt he could take on a

532
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: full load. And you know, we told him, hey, you're

533
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: only coming out when you tell us you need to

534
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: come out, and he never does. So he gets better

535
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: as the game goes on, and he hits a downhill,

536
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: and we knew we need that. This week Connor played

537
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: a season I sixty five of the sixty eight offensive snaps.

538
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: Now the trickle down means that, you know, Benjamin didn't

539
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 1: see the field much, only one offensive snap, and he

540
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: was released on Monday. According to reports, it was because

541
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: of his displeasure, if you will, with playing time. But

542
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: when you have a number one running back who is

543
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 1: finally healthy and you signed to a three year contract

544
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: in the off season, you're going to give him the

545
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: football based off what he did a year ago. Yeah,

546
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: and he's earned that right. That's the unfortunate part about

547
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: this business is you know was the bell cow for

548
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: a while. He was doing it and he did a

549
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: really good job. And saying that, you also have to

550
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: accept your role of when the starter comes back through

551
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: you know, the three year contracts that you're talking about,

552
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: and James Connor was playing as good as any running

553
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: back in the league last year and when he's healthy,

554
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: he's capable of doing that. And not only that, I

555
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: also contend to what he brings, the demeanor when he

556
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: steps foot on that field. Now ej Or you know,

557
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: plays very hard, he does all these things. He is

558
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: a very good back. But the coaches make the decisions,

559
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: and if you don't like it, this is unfortunately what's

560
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: going to happen. It sends a message that Cliff Kingsbury

561
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: and Steve Kim are going to operate a certain way

562
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: and the players have to buy into what's going on

563
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: and what your role is on that given week. And

564
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: it stinks because I'm sure nobody saw this coming. And

565
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: I would also contend that you know, this is not

566
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: something that James Connor is sitting there saying I want

567
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: to have happened. But James Connor is capable of playing

568
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: sixty five snaps. James Connors should be out there playing

569
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 1: sixty five snaps. Overall, the Cardinals ran twenty six times

570
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: for seventy eight yards. The per carry average is not great,

571
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: but when they needed a first down on third and

572
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: shorts or near the goal line, James Connor was able

573
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: to either converts or score. And again, we'll get more

574
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 1: information on the you know Benjamin story. I'm sure when

575
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: head coach Cliff Kingsbury next addresses the media. Episode fifty

576

581
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: and I'm sure it was a tough get to get one,

582
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley apparently, Drew and Kyle, we're busy. We've hit

583
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: halftime here on the Cardinals Red Sea Report presented by

584
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: Seek Eat Your Ticket to Great Seats. This is the

585
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. Snapped to Walford back to throw again,

586
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: looking teeth, airing it out in middle of the field

587
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: and it's intercepted somehow, picked off at the thirty by

588
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: Vota running back the other way. Forty fifty forty Baker

589
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: thirty cuts right pentackled of the twenty five. This guy

590
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,719
Speaker 1: shouldn't need be playing. What heart? What prints? Boode Baker

591
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: showing leadership this week despite a bad wheel. He's even

592
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: hobbling now after he picks it off. This guy's unbelievable.

593
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: Incredible play by Bouddha Baker right there. I say a

594
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: Simmons as well, I say a Simmons shotty on the

595
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: spot batting the pig into the air. And then there

596
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: was Bouda Baker like we've seen him so many times before.

597
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: What a football player? Remember? On Monday, head coach Cliff

598
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: Kingsbury had ruled out Boudebaker that there was He was

599
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: told a zero percent chance that Baker would be even

600
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: available to play. And then what happens Friday? He's on

601
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: the practice field limited, and then on Sunday he's active,

602
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: and not only active, but played eighty percents of the

603
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: defensive snaps, including that interception. Yes, Ron will play a

604
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: great play by ISAs Simmons to get the hand in

605
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: there to the ball and Buddha on the deflection. Cannot

606
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: say enough good things about Buddha Baker here in his

607
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: sixty sixth season Kyle, because if you want to say

608
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: the quarterback and Kyle Murray is the face of the franchise.

609
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: There is no one with the bigger hearts, passion for

610
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,719
Speaker 1: the game, the heart and soul if you will, of

611
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: this team than Buddha Baker. Yeah, there's no question he

612
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: is the heartbeat of this team. Again, you look at

613
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks last week, and you know we had seen

614
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: it leading up to that first episode, but his passion

615
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: in the postgame speech, and I think it was the

616
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: Eagles game, if I'm not mistaken, where he just talked

617
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: about how much it hurt and how this has to stop,

618
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: and you could you could not only hear the passion

619
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: in his voice, but you could feel it. And it's

620
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: kind of like, um, you know when when you hear

621
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: these guys and they have a win, one for the gipper.

622
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: There is players like that, players that you want to

623
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: play hard for because you don't want to let them

624
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: down and they earn that idol. They earned that position

625
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: on the team through their effort in practice, through their preparation,

626
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: through the way they play in games. I mean you again,

627
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: looking at that linebackers meeting when they were challenged to

628
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: play as hard as Buddha Baker. He just lifts the

629
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: level of play for everybody on that team, not just

630
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: with his words, because if you if it's just words,

631
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: it's empty, but it's by the way he plays and

632
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: his leadership. And then again as an expert on injuries,

633
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: because I've had all of them, probably twice, to come

634
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: out and play one week later on a high ankle

635
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: spring is almost unheard of, and between the snaps, between

636
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: the whistles, you could hardly tell. And that is his

637
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: mental toughness, him willing himself to be out there because

638
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: he does not want to let this team down. He

639
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: wants to show how important it is for him to

640
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: be out there to help this team win games. And

641
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: to our point earlier about that sequence when Colt McCoy

642
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: through that pastor rondelmore being the biggest play of the

643
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: game the game, the play that sealed it was his interception.

644
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: The Rams are down two scores, had the ball had

645
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: the ability to make it a one score game. He

646
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: gets that interception, runs it back, gets it into field

647
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: goal range, and from that point it becomes a three

648
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: possession game. So how was Buddha able to play on Sunday?

649
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: Let's hear from Number three post game with Danny Serek.

650
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: For me, I think of every game as a playoff game.

651
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: So they told me as a three to four week process.

652
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: But the way I worked, the way I did my

653
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: treatment all week, the way you know, the Arizona Cardinals

654
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: treatment staff did, I was able to play today and

655
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: you know, not a hundred, but did good enough when

656
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: we got to w It is hard to keep Buddha

657
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: Baker off the field drew yet, so there was a

658
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: somewhat of a surprise the fact that he played. But

659
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: when I saw him on the practice field of Friday,

660
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: I knew right away, Well, he's going to play. I

661
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: don't know how much he'll play, but he's going to play.

662
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: And it's cliche, but a player of Buddha's stature at

663
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: less than a hundred sense is better than most guys

664
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: at one hundred percent at his position. Yeah, well, it's

665
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: lucky that it was Adam Schefter they reported that he's

666
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: not a doctor. Was one of those two to three weeks.

667
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: You just don't place limitations on guys like that. The

668
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: guys that have a desire, that have a mindset in

669
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: our minds are so powerful that they can push us

670
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: to different places, especially superstars like that. But also to

671
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: your point, right, an eighty percent Buddha Baker is better

672
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: than the vast majority of guys are out there on

673
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: top of what Kyle was talking about, right, any guy

674
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: that you play with it, you'd be like, man, he's

675
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: out here playing right now, and you're looking around saying,

676
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: I feel great and I can go out and play

677
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: versus this guy that shouldn't even probably be out on

678
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: this practice field right now. I can't let him down

679
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: because of what he's putting on the line for me.

680
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: Like he said that playoff mentality, if everybody on this

681
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: team took that approach to it, man, they'd be in

682
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: a fantastic place. And that's one of those things that

683
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: you've got to pull guys along with you. And there's

684
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: so many different ways to be a leader. You can

685
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: do it vocally, you can lead by example, but when

686
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: you are playing through injuries and especially when they put

687
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: a tag on you and say it's going to be

688
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: X number of days or weeks or anything like that,

689
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: and you go out there and you say, I'm not

690
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: going to allow this to limit me today. Then you

691
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 1: see what it can manifest itself on Sunday and again,

692
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: a great play call right there that allowed him to

693
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: get a pick right, a confusing coverage, a two man

694
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: type of look to the boundary there where Isaiah Simmons

695
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: is in a perfect position. It gets tipped. Buddha is

696
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: playing more of a quarters to the field and he

697
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: is in a perfect position where he doesn't have to

698
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: run a lot, he doesn't have to get over the top,

699
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: and he is in perfect position understanding the framework of

700
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: what the offense is trying to do and having his

701
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: mind on the field is equally valuable as having his

702
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 1: physical attributes. No question is spark provided by Buddha Baker.

703
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: Here's head coach Cliff Kingsbury. When guys realize, hey, Bood

704
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: is going to push through and play when they told

705
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: us beginning of the the week he'd be out two to

706
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: through weeks, no chance. Yeah, it's hard not to be inspired,

707
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: and guys want to play hard for him and make

708
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: sure that he's protected out there and that they played

709
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: a high level with him, so that that meant a

710
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: lot to our team. The Baker interception one of two

711
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: takeaways in the game, one of and also three sacks

712
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: in that game. Just an overall great defensive performance by

713
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: the Cardinals in that twenty seven seventeen win over the Rams.

714
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup held to a career low minus one receiving yard.

715
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: That was late in the fourth quarter when he got

716
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,760
Speaker 1: hurts and now suffered a high ankle sprain of his soul,

717
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: of his own and now reports are not reports, but

718
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: Sean McVay announcing on Tuesday that Cooper Cup is undergoing

719
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: surgery and is going to be placed on ir But

720
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: just a great defensive effort by the entire Cardinals team.

721
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: Here's Buddha Baker on what they did against the Rams.

722
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: We always talk about winning on first down, you know,

723
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: winning on first down, getting him to a second and

724
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 1: seven plus situation, and nine times out of ten they're

725
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,439
Speaker 1: going to throw the ball from there. So winning first down,

726
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,439
Speaker 1: getting to third down, and once they getting the paint,

727
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: try to give him only three not a touchdown. So

728
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: we did a good job. That interception led to a

729
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: field goal. But prior to that, in the first half, Kyle,

730
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: it was the strip sack. Should have been a scooping

731
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 1: score by jj wapp, but the whistle blown dead. My J.

732
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,959
Speaker 1: Sanders the strip sack. He filled the stat sheet, and yes,

733
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: it was his best game of his early career. But

734
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: my J. Sanders is coming around here midway through this season.

735
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: Yeah it was. It was tremendous. You know, a guy

736
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 1: like him, you think he's strictly a speed edge rusher,

737
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: but he bull rushed the offensive tackle, got off of

738
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: the block and made a tremendous play. Anytime a pass

739
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 1: rusher separates the ball from the quarterback, good things happened,

740
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: and it became a huge play in the game. Again,

741
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: not a big momentum shift, because I feel like the

742
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: Cardinals had the momentum for the majority of that game,

743
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: but a big opportunity. The Cardinals get a touchdown off

744
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 1: of that turnover anyways, even though they blew a dead

745
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: and you know, to me, just his total game was

746
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: light years ahead of where he was the beginning of

747
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 1: the season. He made a tackle on a screenplay where

748
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: he followed the offensive lineman to the receiver. I mean

749
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 1: that that's the type of thing that you just react

750
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: to with experience. He also tipped the ball, he had

751
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: a tackle for a loss. I mean he did. He

752
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: didn't just show up on one play. It wasn't a

753
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: flash in the pan of a young player using his

754
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: athletic ability to make one play. He was a factor

755
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: in that entire game. And I think based upon his

756
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: performance and based upon his production, you're going to continue

757
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: to see him get more and more playing time because

758
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: he was a huge factor in this game. Sanders played

759
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,240
Speaker 1: a season best thirty five percent of the defense of snaps,

760
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: finished with five tackles, his second career sack, first career

761
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: force fumble, a tackle for loss, and a pass defense.

762
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: Here's his head coach, Cliff Kingsbury. You know, we've been

763
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: on him about just being you know, at your best

764
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: every day and being a pro and you got haul

765
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: of famers around you that you can watch and learn

766
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: how to do it, and he's taking that to heart.

767
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: Even a scout team reps, he goes full throttle and

768
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: it's helped and I think he'll keep coming on. Austin

769
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: need to mention Antonio Hamilton, a career high eleven tackles,

770
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: two passes defense and we kind of forget Drew, but

771
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 1: Byron Murphy didn't play in that game, and he's been

772
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: that shut down corner limiting opposing number one wide receivers.

773
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: But it was a collective effort from Hamilton, Marco Williams,

774
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: Marco Wilson, and also treyvon Mullen as well. Yeah, I mean,

775
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: I think early in the game there's a huge third

776
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: down where he got in and knocked the ball out

777
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: for Cooper Cup to be able to be in that

778
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: position to make those open field tackles. And it's not

779
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: like they were assists. These were solo tackles he was making.

780
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: That's the guy that's hungry out there, that is feeding

781
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: off the energy and again a tremendous step in the

782
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: right direction for the secondary. Of those eleven tackles for

783
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: Antonio Hamilton, there were seven that were solo tackles. Cardinals

784
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: again beat the Rams twenty seven to seventeen and proved

785
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: to four and six and now set their sights on

786
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers. We will discuss the

787
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: Monday night football matchup from Mexico City to close out

788
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: Week eleven when we come back here. It is the

789
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: Cardinals Red Sea Report presented by Seki Your tickets to

790
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: great seats, Craig Reel and Drew Stand and cole Anybotch

791
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio McCoy flanked to his

792
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: left by Connor. We now motions out wide of the right,

793
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: snap to McCoy looking left. It's a fade left, corner

794
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: of the ends of hey. J Green with a great grab,

795
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 1: touchdown the aj Grave of Old his back. He's made

796
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 1: two incredible grabs. Cold McCoy, meanwhile, continues to deliver. This

797
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: offense looks entirely different right now. It all starts with

798
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: protection for Colt McCoy up front, a great pocket, and

799
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 1: on the fade, it's AJ Green the scarecrow on a stick.

800
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 1: Baby Green played thirty offensive snaps the week before one

801
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: offensive snap and he did not play at all Thursday

802
00:39:56,120 --> 00:40:00,479
Speaker 1: night against the New Orleans Saints. AJ Green telling reporters postgame, quote,

803
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 1: we all have that tough conversation. Sometimes I just want

804
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: you to be honest with me, and that's what they did.

805
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: They have been very honest with me through this whole process.

806
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: End quote. Talking about his role with the team. How

807
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: much we see of aj Green this week. How much

808
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: do we see of Robbie Anderson this week still to

809
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: be determined as the Cardinals play the forty nine Ers

810
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: in Mexico City. Monday Night Football six fifteen is the

811
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: kickoff two thirty Pregame coverage begins on the Arizona Cardinals

812
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,240
Speaker 1: Radio network. It is a must win for the Arizona

813
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: Cardinals once again. Forty nine Ers come in five and

814
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 1: four to three and oh in the NFC West. But

815
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 1: both teams are dealing with the higher elevation and playing

816
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: in another country. Both teams are looking forward to it.

817
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: Yet there is that unknown factor when you are playing

818
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: out of the country and then two at seventy three feet. Yeah,

819
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: I mean you don't know what to expect. It's like going,

820
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: you know, playing in London or Germany or anything like that.

821
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 1: The fans could be chairing. The atmosphere and feel of

822
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: the game is going to be drastically different than both

823
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: these teams played in last Sunday. The preparations extremely important

824
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: of what you're trying to do and being able to

825
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: do all that, and I think again it's going to

826
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: be the game within the game. There's some unknowns on

827
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 1: as far as the Arizona Cardinals are concerned, who's going

828
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: to be back, who's going to be playing, who's going

829
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 1: to be involved at the game plan all of these things.

830
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: But it's vital because it's a division opponent. You have

831
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 1: to find a way to win a football game. And

832
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,760
Speaker 1: look Colt, if he is the starter, he's played against

833
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 1: these guys before, he understands that, he understands what needs

834
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: to be done. This is a ball control offense of

835
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 1: what San Francisco's going to try to do of not

836
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,399
Speaker 1: beat themselves. The turnover margin is going to be big.

837
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 1: Situational football and third down, red zone, all of these

838
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: things are going to matter and play into that because

839
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 1: you know that San Francisco forty niners are salty on defense.

840
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: So this is going to be a tremendous matchup. Do

841
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: we get Battern Murphy back? This is a lot of

842
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: intrigue for a Monday night international game and it's going

843
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: to be fun to be a part of. TJ. Humphrey's

844
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 1: also keeping an eye on his status for this week,

845
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: both Humphreys and Murphy dealing with back injuries. Is Matt

846
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: Prater kicking in the higher elevation on Monday Night Football

847
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: and Drew just touched on a Kyle. You're going up

848
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: against the number one defense in the league, number one

849
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: against the run, number eight against the past. They are

850
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 1: allowing just eighteen points a game. The forty nine ers

851
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,720
Speaker 1: still some question marks maybe on offense, but no question

852
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: that their defense is rock solid. Yeah, there is no question. Um.

853
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 1: You know, anytime you're going up against the Niners, you've

854
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: got to figure out a way to block their front four. Um.

855
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: You know they've they've got twenty nine sacks on the season.

856
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: Uh nine and a half of those are Nick Bosa.

857
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,399
Speaker 1: I mean, he he's putting together another really good season. Um.

858
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: Let's hope DJ Humphreys is back, so at least we

859
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,879
Speaker 1: have our two offensive tackles, um to try to block

860
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa. Um. But yeah, I mean it's they've really

861
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: been getting after it on defense. It's it's how they're built.

862
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: They let their front four go be disruptive, get in

863
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: the backfield, get sacks, get tackles for a loss, and

864
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: then and then, um, you know, adjust the coverage behind

865
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: him and make plays when when the quarterback makes bad

866
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: decisions because he's under pressure. So there will be a

867
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: challenge this week. But again with the way our offense

868
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: played this week, if they can be efficient not make mistakes,

869
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,720
Speaker 1: they have a real opportunity to keep this thing rolling.

870
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,240
Speaker 1: Forty nine Ers might also welcome back defensive lineman Eric Armstead,

871
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 1: who's been out since Week four with a foot and

872
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: ankle injury. On the flip side, you look at this

873
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers offense. Jimmy Garoppolo, Trey Lance done for

874
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: the season, and we've seen over the last several weeks Drew.

875
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 1: It's been Brandon Ayouk who's really stepped up and been

876
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: that favorite target of Garoppolo. Yeah, well, you got to

877
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: be able to have a go to wide receiver. That's

878
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: why they drafted him as high as they did. Deebo

879
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: Samuel does a lot of different things, but he's more

880
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 1: of a gadget guy, right, He's a running back and

881
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. He does things. They're finding ways to

882
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: get all of that talent on the field together and

883
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: it really keeps you off balance, right when you have

884
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 1: a deep threat at four, not only the deep threat,

885
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: but also an intermediate passing game. That's where you're seeing

886
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayouk show up more and more of being that

887
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: go to wide receiver, and then you have George Kittle,

888
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: you have Deebo Samuel, you have Christian McCaffrey, and you

889
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 1: even see Elijah Mitchell start to get mixed into that

890
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: run game more. They want to be able to run

891
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 1: the football, though this is not an offense that's predicated

892
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: on a drop back pass game. And if you can

893
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: make them one dimensional, if you shut down that run

894
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: and you've got to find different ways to do it,

895
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 1: I get it. Christian McCaffrey's very hard on who you're

896
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: going to put in him, but you drafted Isaiah Simmons

897
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 1: for guys like this. Well. Cardinals did a very good

898
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 1: job against McCaffrey back in Week four when he was

899
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: with the Carolina Panthers, held him just to twenty seven

900
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: rushing yards, which is still a season low for McCaffrey.

901
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,879
Speaker 1: He's played in three games for the forty nine Ers,

902
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: averaging four point three yards to carry with two touchdowns.

903
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: Also catch the ball out of the backfield and throw

904
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: the ball when needed. Cardinals and forty nine Ers coming

905
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 1: up on Monday Nights six fifteen is the kickoff two
