It was Abilene, 58 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 3: Texas for eight dollars an hour, where it was Medford, 59 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 3: Oregon for eight dollars an hour plus overtime. And I'd 60 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 3: never left Texas, and I'm like, I'll be back within 61 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 3: like six months. So I just went up to the 62 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 3: CBS affiliate in Medford, Oregon market one forty three, had 63 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 3: no idea what I was doing, and I'm just I 64 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 3: apologize to any of the grandmothers that were watching up there. 65 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 3: My first year on the air, because they're probably like 66 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 3: this guy, what is this guy even doing? But I 67 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 3: got all the reps I could ever want and learned 68 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 3: how to broadcast hopefully. I mean, I'm still it's still 69 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 3: very much a work in progress. But I've met my 70 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 3: wife up there, who's also at Arizona's Family, and she 71 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 3: she died the morning news and now does the weather 72 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 3: at Arizona's Family. So it's kind of a crazy. We 73 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 3: worked together again in Phoenix, and uh yeah, I don't 74 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 3: think I could have drawn that one up. 75 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: You've been here for a while though, and we're going 76 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: to date ourselves here and this is going back before 77 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: maybe even Danny was I don't want to say born, 78 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: but certainly before she arrived, but all going all the 79 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: way back to what was once upon a time Fox Sports. 80 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 3: That's right. 81 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: Six. 82 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 3: I chased Michael Barkless, who's one of the coordinating producers 83 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 3: works works over here a little bit. I chased him 84 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 3: up an elevator at Fox Sports Arizona and he was 85 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 3: there with my with my actual VHS tape. So that 86 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 3: was a six wee. Jim was her last year at 87 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 3: Sagling five five. I'm old. 88 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: That's great, Yes, that's great. Yes, Danny is aware of 89 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: what VHS tapes are. You just didn't have to worry 90 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: about that when you were sitting on him. But your 91 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: resume tapes were all digital. Correct. 92 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go, the physical VHS tape. And thank 93 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 3: god for Jody Jackson delivering Connor who just went to college, 94 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 3: a good quarterback at Corona Del Soul High School. But yeah, 95 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 3: she went on maternity leave and they needed somebody immediately, 96 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 3: and he called me. I was working in Spokane and 97 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 3: he said, hey, can you be down here in three 98 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 3: days to work the It was the Sun's draft, and 99 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 3: then it was the Diamondbacks and I had a job 100 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 3: in Spokane and I was like, yeah, sure, and I 101 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 3: hug up the phone. I was like, I have no 102 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 3: idea how I'm going to do this, and then I 103 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 3: ended up talking my way out of having to work 104 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 3: that week and walked into the locker room and I'm 105 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 3: sure you were standing right there and we were both 106 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 3: trying to get sound from Sons and Diamondbacks. 107 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. Long, long Intrepid Sports Report, But here we all 108 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: are together now a partnership between the Arizona Cardinals and 109 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: Arizona's family. This is year one of a multi year partnership. 110 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: The entire preseason is going to be on Arizona's family, 111 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: CBS five, including Saturday's preseason opener against the New Orleans Saints. 112 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: Five o'clock is the pregame. Now, I'm obligated to say 113 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: one thirty is when the Arizona Cardinals radio network pregame 114 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: coverage begins. But your pregame coverage mark begins at four thirty. 115 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, four point thirty on CBS five will go live. 116 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 3: We'll be down on the field. We've got so before 117 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 3: the pregame show on Saturday, we've got a schedule show 118 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 3: on Friday that's replacing the Extra point at ten thirty 119 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 3: at night, So we're gonna do all Cardinals and we'll 120 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 3: still have sports coverage, but it's just kind of like 121 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 3: a schedule show that kind of kicks it off. And 122 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 3: we've got the pregame show, halftime show, postgame show on 123 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 3: CBS five on Saturday for the Saints game, and then 124 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 3: on Monday we have our own preview show and then 125 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 3: after the game on Saturday, I sat down with Danny 126 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 3: with Paul Calvc. We had a little fun here earlier 127 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 3: this week talking talking Cardinals and you can hear more 128 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 3: of our conversation, you know, and what Danny gets to 129 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 3: talk to James Connor. So I'm interested to hear that 130 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 3: conversation for sure, because for me, I mean, Kyler is 131 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 3: the key to this team, but I think James Connor 132 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,239 Speaker 3: is kind of the heartbeat. 133 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 4: Would you agree, especially on offense one hundred percent. He's 134 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 4: what makes the offense go. He is truly the workhorse 135 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 4: of that offense and leads by example. And it was 136 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 4: a good conversation getting to sit down with him coming 137 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,559 Speaker 4: off his thousand yard rushing season when you're talking about 138 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 4: the competition in the running backs room, not necessarily for 139 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 4: his role as a starter, but every position behind him, 140 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 4: and filling out that depth chart and just how this 141 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 4: offense looks and feels different. 142 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: I liked how he put it, and he said it twice. Now, 143 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: one thousand rushing yards, it's not a ceiling, that's the floor. 144 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: And last year was a career year. Now that's the 145 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: expectation that he has for himself, and I don't see 146 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: any reason why he couldn't do that again this season, 147 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: and however many more years he might be wearing an 148 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: air in a cardinal's uniform. 149 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 4: That was missing four and a half games with an 150 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,799 Speaker 4: injury last season. It'll be interesting how, if at all, 151 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 4: the reps are adjusted when it comes to Connor carrying 152 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 4: the ball. There was no one who came close to 153 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 4: hearing the rock as many times as he did last season. 154 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 4: Now that you bring in a rookie in Trey Benson, 155 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 4: who has the similar size and skill set as Connor, 156 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 4: a hard nos runner, fast, one of three backs to 157 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 4: run a sub four four forty at the combine, does 158 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 4: that affect how many times James Connor runs the ball. 159 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 4: I'm not sure. I can't see this being as much 160 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 4: of a one to two punch the way it was 161 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 4: a couple of years ago with Chase Edmonds, which felt 162 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 4: pretty evenly split. I could see it more as maybe 163 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 4: they're gonna make Connor take some breaks and keep his 164 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 4: body fresh more often than they have in the past 165 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 4: to have that longevity, to keep him healthy. Connor gets 166 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 4: better as the game goes on. He has said that 167 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 4: he feels better the more times he gets hit and 168 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 4: he really gets rolling. So I don't foresee a change 169 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 4: in terms of Connor not being or starting back, or 170 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 4: him not getting most of the load. I do think 171 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 4: it'll be interesting though, if Benton earns those reps to 172 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 4: have more of a role than than what we've seen 173 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 4: the last couple of years. From the second running back 174 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 4: on the depth chart. 175 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 3: Have you had the conversation yet with Trey Benson about Forrest. 176 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 4: Gump that's his nickname. 177 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 3: Yes, hit your head on the goalpost. 178 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: We did. 179 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 3: He came by the studio. He Tip Ryman and Daris 180 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 3: Robinson were part of a hamburger and hot dog eating 181 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 3: contest on the three o'clock news on Arizona's Family. 182 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: I missed that. 183 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 3: It was. You know what, We're going to have to 184 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 3: put it back out there because I think it was right. 185 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 3: When everybody went on vacation. You were probably somewhere in Italy. 186 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: I am not Dave pash Okay, I not vacation in 187 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: Italy like the Voice of the Arizona Card. 188 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 3: Well maybe you were up north or something. But yes, 189 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 3: they came in and we sat down with him. I mean, 190 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 3: first of all, I mean just Trey kind of came 191 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 3: out of his shell. You know how serious he is 192 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 3: when he talks. I mean, he just I think, I 193 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 3: just I don't know why. I just caught him in 194 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 3: a fun mood, and he's like, yeah, hit your head 195 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 3: on the goalpost, you know, run tray run, run for us. Run. 196 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 3: And we start talking about like you get a little 197 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 3: crease of daylight and his eyes lit up, and you 198 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 3: know you mentioned the four the sub four four forty 199 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 3: at the combine four three nine. He goes, yeah, I 200 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 3: don't like it. He goes, I could have done better. 201 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 3: That wasn't my best time. And you're like, dude, you 202 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 3: ran a four three nine, Like how many guys on 203 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 3: the planet can run a four to three nine. 204 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: He was not happy when we had a chance to 205 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: talk to him after his introductory press conference because I 206 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: did bring up the speed. He's like, oh yeah, and 207 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: he cut us off. He's like, no, no, no, I could 208 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: have done better. But he did seem a little bit. 209 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: He is a serious guy, and I know Jonathan Gannon 210 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: brought it up that he tries to joke with him 211 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: and Benson's just all ball and everything. But in our 212 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 1: interaction Danny, this was I mean, it's in the offseason, 213 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: not maybe as serious and stressful as a training camp is, 214 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: but he seemed kind of fun loving. And we've seen 215 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: several of these videos with the rookies and it's Benson 216 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: that's in front of the camera yucking it up with 217 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: his teammates. I think there is something beneath that, maybe 218 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: toughness that he exhibits on the football field. 219 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we are the media and he is 220 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 4: a rookiet. Imagine he's pretty stressed and pretty in his 221 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 4: head every time he has to get up on the 222 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 4: podium and answer questions while he's also trying to make 223 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 4: sure he understands the playbook and everything that's being asked 224 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 4: of him. 225 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 1: That dynamic as far as who is behind Connor, because 226 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people made a big deal 227 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: about the depth chart and all of a sudden, Michael 228 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: Carter's fifth running back. Again, if you've been out at practice, 229 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: you've kind of seen where things stack up, and it's 230 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 1: really been a Mario de Mercado that's been RB two 231 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 1: behind James Connor because of his past protection. If Benson 232 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: wants to stay on this football field and be that 233 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: third down back or be someone that the coaches trust, 234 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: he's going to have to learn how to step in 235 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: front of those linebackers and keep them away from Kyler. 236 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,719 Speaker 3: Right, And I mean de Mercado, you know Gannon was 237 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 3: joking earlier this week, or maybe I was earlier this 238 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 3: week about he came back from Hawaii a little pudgy, 239 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 3: but I think, yeah, and he's got to he's got 240 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 3: to put on a little a little girth there if 241 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 3: he's going to be you know, picking up blitzing linebackers. 242 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 3: But the way he played last year, especially on third down, 243 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 3: and I mean I think back, we're looking over the 244 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 3: stadium right now. We were here for the Fiesta bal 245 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 3: two years ago and he played for TCU and just 246 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 3: that breakout game, and you're like, I think, I mean, 247 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 3: this guy's this guy's got something. And then to see 248 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 3: him go undrafted and make his way, uh, you know 249 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 3: into the lineup last year, that's one of those you know, 250 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 3: we all talk about the big stories. I mean, those 251 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 3: are you know, the lead story on the Extra Point 252 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 3: every night at ten thirty five on Arison His Family 253 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 3: the Belt is only nightly sports television show. But uh, 254 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 3: those are the kind of stories that you love because 255 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 3: that's that's what sports is all about. I mean, that's 256 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 3: why twenty years later, I'm still doing this because I 257 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 3: love when somebody shows that kind of determination and and 258 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 3: I mean I've got kids, and I'm I'm constantly like, 259 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 3: listen to this guy's story, listen to this this this 260 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 3: gal's story. You know, it's it's it's this is the 261 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 3: best reality television that you can find, in my opinion. 262 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, the fight for fifty three trying to make that roster. 263 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: And we do know coming up on Saturday, Danny, that 264 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,199 Speaker 1: we will not see Kyler Murray. In fact, we're not 265 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: going to see him at all this preseason. Speaking of stories, 266 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: hopefully we never see that backup quarterback. But without Kyler 267 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: playing these three preseason games, you only have two other 268 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: qbs on the roster. Clayton Tune has been ridder. I 269 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: know Ritter on the depth chart is number two, but 270 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,839 Speaker 1: if you've been watching practice, it's been Clayton tuone who's 271 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: been getting more reps with the second team. That might 272 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: be fun to watch here during these three preseason games. 273 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: What this team does in the event that Kyler misses 274 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: a snap, a series, god forbid, a game or games. 275 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 4: I think we learned that last year it was a 276 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 4: whole different scenario. I understand that you knew that Kyler 277 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 4: wasn't gona be ready to start the season. You traded 278 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 4: away Josh Dobbs, Well, you had that leverage and the 279 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 4: value there, and you played a game with Clayton Toon 280 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 4: as a rookie who had no experience. I agree, Tune 281 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 4: has looked better than Ritter throughout training camp. I think 282 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 4: it'll be interesting to see how they each pan out 283 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 4: these next three games. I asked Scannon what the plan 284 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 4: was of do you play each quarterback for a full 285 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 4: game and split reps on the third and Tolmy was 286 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 4: a good question, and he didn't really answer my question, 287 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 4: So it must have been that good that he wants 288 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 4: to keep it close to the chest. He just said, 289 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 4: we'll find out on Saturday. I would imagine that probably 290 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 4: says they're going to split reps all three games, if 291 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 4: I had to read between the lines. So we'll see. 292 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 4: I don't have a problem with Kyler Murray not playing. 293 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 4: To me, it's the safe decision. He's going into year six. 294 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 4: He still had half a season with this coaching staff. 295 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 4: He had a full offseason where he was at every 296 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 4: voluntary workout. He was working out with his teammates off 297 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 4: the field, so that camaraderie has been built and they 298 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 4: wouldn't keep him out if they didn't think he was ready, 299 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 4: if they felt like he needed more looks with this 300 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 4: offense or to knock off any rust, they would play 301 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 4: him and they're not. So I personally don't have a problem. 302 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 4: He's going into year six. He's not new to the 303 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 4: league by any means all for keeping Kyler healthy. When 304 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 4: you're looking at the rest of the team, running back 305 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 4: James Connor's the only one that would make sense for me, 306 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 4: right for the same reasons, and that might be it defense, safety, 307 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 4: Pitter Baker, and I think those would probably be the 308 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 4: only three that I would imagine most likely not going 309 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 4: to play in the preseason. 310 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 3: I'll be curious Mark, at least the first game. 311 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, with these reps for that backup quarterback and you're 312 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: trying to split reps, do we see the first team 313 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: offensive line with Clayton tune and or Desmond Ritter on 314 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: Saturday or against the Colts Indianapolis, just to get those 315 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: that chemistry. And it's not gonna be a lot of snaps. 316 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: It's not gonna be a lot of reps, but just 317 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: you have that cadence between the quarterback barking the signals 318 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: and the center understanding all right, now I snap the football, 319 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: I'll be wondering, does yell to for Hole get those 320 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: snaps with a tune or ridder or is it more 321 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: than brown or is it John Gaines or some else. 322 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 3: No, I'm wondering the exact same thing. And what to 323 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 3: talk about in the pregame show on Arizona's Family's ZBSPY. 324 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 3: Because yeah, I agree with you about Kyler. I mean, selfishly, 325 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 3: you want you want him playing, you know, in the game, 326 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 3: so you can talk about it. Totally get it. Long season. 327 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 3: I mean, it just seems like the NFL season gets 328 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 3: longer and longer and longer. And why why waste energy 329 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 3: for a game that doesn't matter. I mean, there is 330 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 3: the you know, the Chiefs usually play a series or two. 331 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 3: I think they like to get out there and and 332 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 3: and just see it click if you don't need to 333 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 3: see it click if you saw it click at the 334 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 3: end of last year. Why if you feel like it's 335 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 3: going to and you're gonna be good and you've got 336 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 3: something to build, why why show anything either? Totally get 337 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 3: that too, But I think just just from you know, 338 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 3: being here since six alongside you, just offensive lines continuity 339 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 3: is so important, and I mean I maybe they maybe 340 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 3: they mix and match guys, because you know that's the 341 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 3: I mean, we would be very lucky here in Arizona 342 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 3: if the offensive line that you trotted out there in 343 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 3: Buffalo and the opener were to play together the entire season. 344 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 3: So it's yeah, I mean, that's that's the most important thing. 345 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 3: And I mean as we as I sit here and 346 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 3: talk about it, I mean we mentioned X factors with 347 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 3: Kyler and Connor. But this offensive line, I mean, this 348 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 3: is this as this offensive line works in blocks, I 349 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 3: mean that that could unlock all kinds of fun in 350 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 3: the valley this fall. 351 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 4: Regardless of the quarterback. I want to see the starting 352 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 4: offensive line out there. You have two major changes. You 353 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 4: moved Paris Johnson Junior to the left, and you have 354 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 4: Evan Brown as your left guard. Presumably. I don't care 355 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 4: who's a quarterback. I want to see that offensive line, 356 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 4: and I want to make sure that you are figuring 357 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 4: out okay, when you're in a loud stadium, is the 358 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 4: communication working? Do we need to change something on that front, 359 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 4: regardless of who your quarterback is. And then I'd like 360 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 4: to see some different changes we've seen. I would imagine 361 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 4: a lot of those starters probably don't play, but maybe 362 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 4: you keep some if you're going to take yell to 363 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 4: for Ahold out at center and you want to move 364 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 4: Evan Brown inside and put John Gaines as your left guard, 365 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 4: or put gains as your center, but keeping Johnson for 366 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 4: a few extra snaps, Like I want to see some 367 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 4: versatile because that's expected, not just with the Cardinals but 368 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 4: every team's offensive line. And something else to keep in 369 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 4: mind when it comes to Kyler or other players that 370 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 4: might not play, they also have joint practices, and that 371 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,239 Speaker 4: is that at this point where we've come, that is 372 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 4: more important than preseason for a lot of these starters 373 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 4: because you're going up against other starters, which isn't always 374 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 4: the case even if you're starting in a preseason game. 375 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 4: And that's really I think where the players get to, 376 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 4: you know, get a little feisty and really get aggressive 377 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 4: and physical more so than in a preseason game. 378 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,919 Speaker 3: Perhaps over under dust up in Indie next week that 379 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 3: we're all talking about. 380 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: Well, I can guarantee you it's going to be nearly 381 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: as bad as the Giants and the like. 382 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 4: I think Gannon has made it very clear that is 383 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 4: not acceptable. So one to me is is Max, I 384 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 4: don't even expect to see a fight though. 385 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: And I guess you'd have to define fight like punch 386 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 1: is thrown. I don't think you'll get to that point. 387 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: Some pushing and shoving. 388 00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's fine. 389 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: I could certainly see that once or twice. I mean 390 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: we saw it earlier out here with Will Hernandez and 391 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: Mac Wilson Senior. So that stuff, I think it's just natural. 392 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,719 Speaker 1: And to your point, Danny about the joint practices. You 393 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 1: were in Minnesota a year ago, and those two practices 394 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,719 Speaker 1: against the Vikings determined the future of Colt McCoy. And 395 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: then we also saw Isaiah Simmons get dealt, the offensive 396 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: lineman on blanket on his name, Jones get dealt as well. 397 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: Those are the practices that I think Manti Austin Fort 398 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 1: Jonathan Gannon look at and say, all right, this is 399 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: who we are. This is perhaps what we need to 400 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: find and add to our roster because we maybe lack 401 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 1: in that particular position. 402 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly my point, yep. I think preseason games hold 403 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 4: they still hold weight, not necessarily for starters, but the 404 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 4: joint practices absolutely do. 405 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 3: Will Hernandez, by the way, is my leading candidate to 406 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 3: once again started dust up. Have you been down in 407 00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 3: the locker room, by the way and seeing the entire 408 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 3: offense of blind all has a picture of will in 409 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 3: their locker. It's almost like a Valentine It's we were 410 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 3: We were talking with Jonah Williams about it the other 411 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 3: day and he just said, yeah, we just we think 412 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 3: he looks good. And it's like an actual picture. It's 413 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 3: it's up in their locker, like instead of a picture 414 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 3: of their kids, it's a picture of Will Hernandez. Yeah, 415 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:16,919 Speaker 3: and I kind of want to get one for the 416 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 3: setro Hold. 417 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: Has one and Jonah Williams has one, and I just wonder, like, 418 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: I mean, is it a joke, Like Okay, we don't 419 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: know who's next to us, and like and Will is like, yeah, 420 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: this is who I am. I mean, it's but that 421 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: offensive line group as as a whole, We've heard time 422 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 1: in and time again, story after story that that seems 423 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 1: like a fun room. Do you play. 424 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 4: That's every NFL team. That's every NFL team offensive line room. 425 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 4: Is the personality and the jokes and all that that. 426 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: Group because they work so close together and so much 427 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: together that you have to have that back and forth 428 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: in that give and take. 429 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 3: But and but does any other team in the NFL 430 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 3: have like a fro Holt who's like a straight up 431 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 3: Viking Viking? 432 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 1: Probably. 433 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 3: I haven't had that conversation with him yet, but I 434 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 3: really want to hear. Isn't he into He's like he 435 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 3: like crushes rocks and stuff. Doesn't he have some some 436 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,360 Speaker 3: kind of weight work? 437 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: Yeah? 438 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's that might have to be the next 439 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 3: feature on the extra point. Maybe we send one of 440 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 3: our reports, like Elliott Polakoff could go out and maybe 441 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 3: work out with Yellis for a whole would I'm here 442 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 3: for that. 443 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: By the way, Josh Jones was the offensive lineman that 444 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: I could remember. That guy dealt during those two days. 445 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: It was a busy couple of days out in Minnesota 446 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: preseason opener on Saturday, and as we speak here, no 447 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 1: definitive word. Selfishly for me, I hope he does play, 448 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: but we still don't know about Marvin Harrison Junior. Again, selfishly, 449 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: it'd be great to see eighteen on the football field 450 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: here at State Farm Stadium. He wants to play, he 451 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 1: has said as much, and I would like to see, 452 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 1: even if it's just for a series, and whether it 453 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: gets the ball thrown at him or not, but you 454 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: at least go through the motions of a pregame, pregame routine, 455 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 1: a huddle, break the huddle, the fans go crazy, and 456 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: then okay, you're done after a series, Marvin, and we'll 457 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 1: see you week one. Yeah. 458 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 4: I feel the same way about maybe getting in a 459 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 4: series and just that first preseason game and then that's 460 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 4: it on that front. 461 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 3: Is it a big deal though, to play him in 462 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 3: Indianapolis where his dad starred in two. 463 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 4: Weeks for preseason, No, I don't think that's going to 464 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 4: come into play at all the regular season. I think 465 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 4: that'd be a different story. I don't it'll be if 466 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 4: if I know this coaching staff, I don't think that's 467 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 4: going to play and role in their decision on keeping 468 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 4: him healthy and making sure he can play all season. 469 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 3: Right, And I mean, he'll play against the Cults in 470 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 3: practices and that'll be a big I'm sure the Indianapolis 471 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 3: media will want to talk to him. It was interesting 472 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 3: yesterday as we were setting up to do interviews here 473 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 3: to see Marvin post practice. Lasca to leave the field 474 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 3: and he caught balls in the jugs machine for probably 475 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 3: five minutes and we were trying to figure out the 476 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 3: math of how many balls he caught, and I don't 477 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 3: I mean, does a hundred seem like a lot? It 478 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 3: just it just was like, oh my, he's still going 479 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 3: like they're done signing autographs and he's still catching balls 480 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 3: out of the machine and he was the last player 481 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 3: to leave the field. I'm if I were making the 482 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 3: decision here, I might keep him under wraps as well. 483 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 3: I don't think you want to give away anything that 484 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 3: he can do. I don't. I don't think you want 485 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 3: Buffalo saying well, you know, maybe he has like this 486 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 3: release and we can defend it this way. So I 487 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 3: agree with you. I think you get him out there 488 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 3: on the grass. Maybe you don't play him on the 489 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 3: turf in Indianapolis, which selfishly it's on Arizona's Family CBS five, 490 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 3: So I'd like to I'd like to watch that and 491 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 3: talk about it. But yeah, you get it. And I 492 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 3: mean you see that kind of you see that kind 493 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 3: of work, and I mean, that's that's Larry Fitzgerald's stuff. 494 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 3: Is that comparison been making it? 495 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: By the way, I think so. And I think that 496 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 1: work ethic. You need that work ethic in order to 497 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: be successful on game day and have longevity in this 498 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: career and the great ones they have that work ethic. 499 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 4: Absolutely, and Harrison seems to have already shown that he 500 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 4: has that as well. And he's been very humble and 501 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 4: great to speak with and really seems like he's putting 502 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 4: the team first over himself. 503 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: So, by the way, you brought up over an under 504 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 1: as far's number of maybe skirmishes in Indianapolis. Uh, since 505 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: the game is on Arizona's family over under, if Marvin 506 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: Harrison Senior is spotted in that game, different cutaways between 507 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: father and sons and father. 508 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 3: Absolutely, Yeah, I mean I guess would he would? I mean, 509 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 3: how much time does he still spend there? I'm not actually, 510 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 3: I mean they're they're that's not that's not where the 511 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:23,719 Speaker 3: high school? Right? 512 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: Yeah? 513 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 3: I would. I would bet he's there, and I bet 514 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 3: he's there at the practices and still part of the 515 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 3: Colts family. And I mean that's right for Dwight Freeney, Yeah, 516 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 3: another former. Remember when Dwight Freeneye Thursday Night Football. 517 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: Here a spin New Games. 518 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 3: Oh God, that was so good. Uh But but uh, 519 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 3: I when I watch Marvin Harrison Junior run, I see 520 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 3: even though he's bigger. I see his dad. It's the 521 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 3: same type of steps. And I don't know really how 522 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 3: to describe me. He's he's definitely like he's just a 523 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 3: bigger version of his dad. And I can't wait to 524 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 3: see the route running and I can't wait to see 525 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 3: the compare. I mean, you know, week four, Week five, 526 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 3: we're going to be scrolling through our social media feed 527 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 3: and someone's going to do a deep dive on this 528 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 3: on film and they're going to put him side by 529 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 3: side and be like, watch how he does this. No 530 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 3: rookie's ever done this in the NFL. And that's gone 531 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 3: back to probably when Marvin Harrison Junior was fourteen years 532 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 3: old with his dad in the backyard and it's like, okay, 533 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 3: do you want to see how to turn a defensive 534 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 3: back hips? You know, if you really want to, you know, 535 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 3: mess with people do this. And I think the you know, 536 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 3: going head to head with with Max Meltin too. We 537 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 3: talked about that on the television show just what it's 538 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 3: been like to see a rookie receiver in a rookie 539 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 3: corner who went head to head in college and challenged 540 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 3: each other. That gives you a lot of excitement at 541 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 3: least at least it does for me thinking the talent 542 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 3: level has been raised during the Cardinal roster. 543 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: By the way, speaking of draft picks, we haven't really 544 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: touched on the defense, but I'm going to allow Danny 545 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: to talk up the other first round draft pick outam Missouri, 546 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: Darius Robinson, who has turned a lot of heads. And 547 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: that's someone that whether it's Saturday again the Saints, or 548 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,880 Speaker 1: against the Colts or against the Broncos if he does 549 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: play against the Broncos in that final preseason game, that's 550 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: someone who has turned a lot of heads in training camp. 551 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: Now the next step can you do it in however 552 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: many snaps you get in the preseason leading up to 553 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 1: the regular season. 554 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 4: Robinson has looked really good throughout camp. You can see 555 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 4: the size and the length and the strength. He has 556 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 4: won impressive one on one battles against offensive linemen and 557 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 4: teamwork he is getting into the backfield. We have seen 558 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 4: him get some first team reps or in some situations 559 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 4: when there's only one down lineman for the defense, it's 560 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 4: Robinson that's out there. So I would expect to see 561 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 4: him heavily used in the rotation. Makes me believe We'll 562 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 4: see a good amount of Robinson in the preseason games 563 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 4: given the rotation that the staff likes to use on 564 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 4: the defensive line and with your pass rushers, you have bodies, 565 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 4: you have them for a reason right throughout this preseason 566 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 4: on a ninety man roster right now. So maybe not 567 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 4: into the Denver game, not full games, right maybe maybe 568 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 4: a few series the first two preseason games. I would 569 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 4: expect us to see a bit of Robinson, just just 570 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 4: to let him get a feel all the same reasons 571 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 4: you were talking about Marvin Harrison Junior or any other 572 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 4: rookie is let him kind of get a feel, maybe 573 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 4: shake out some of the nerves or the butterflies right 574 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 4: getting onto the field and that where they're ready to 575 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 4: go week one and let it rip. 576 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,239 Speaker 1: And those rookies next week against the Colts, those two 577 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: joint practices, because I think that will give you a 578 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 1: better indication versus the preseason game, because I think a 579 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: lot of these even the players take the joint practices 580 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: a little bit more serious then maybe they do a 581 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: preseason game. But for a Darius Robinson, a Max Melton, 582 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: Elijah Jones, Tip Rieman, all those rookies, Trey Benson, who 583 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: we touched on all those rookies drafted day one or 584 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: day two. That's when they can really maybe push their 585 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: way further up the depth tart if they're not already there, right. 586 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 3: And I mean, this is the last nice thing I'm 587 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 3: gonna say about anybody from Missouri, because I mean, he's 588 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 3: another impressive person, Danny Darius Sovie cutting him from your 589 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 3: Phoenix Mercury. I mean, he's another guy that stop by 590 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 3: this studio for the hamburger and hot dog eating contest, 591 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 3: in which he actually declined because he's got his diet. 592 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,439 Speaker 3: And you know, the the the details on draft night 593 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 3: that that that interview that went viral. I mean, just 594 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,679 Speaker 3: going through his process and and seeing the body and 595 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 3: seeing the mind and and you just you just see, 596 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 3: like when he's doing drills, there's a different level of 597 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 3: athleticism there than we saw in the Cardinals defensive line 598 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 3: and pass rush last year. And the depth, I mean, 599 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 3: the room's gotten bigger. He's a big reason why I 600 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 3: think they were kind of Tip was kind of giving 601 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 3: him some grief on at the station visit because he 602 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 3: said his eyes would get really big right before the 603 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 3: snap because he's trying to process all the information. So 604 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 3: I would I would think Darius probably plays a little 605 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 3: more than we think just to get his process down, 606 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 3: because I think he's so detail oriented he's gonna want 607 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 3: to go through it and not just show up in 608 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 3: Buffalo week one. And I mean there might be a 609 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,160 Speaker 3: learning curve. You know, you got to get your feet 610 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 3: on the ground in your first NFL games. That's at 611 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 3: least a hypothesis on my part. 612 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 1: And maybe dial back some of those details because you 613 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: get overloaded with all of that analysis and not all 614 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: of a sudden you're thinking too much out there as 615 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 1: opposed to just reacting. One last point here, because we 616 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: could talk forever about this first preseason game, but is 617 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: there someone on either side of the ball, Danny, that 618 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: you are more excited about to see or maybe still 619 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: question that you hope gives you a little bit of 620 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 1: an answer moving forward towards the regular season. 621 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 4: Two totally different questions in terms of excitement. Probably running 622 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 4: back Trey Benson, I mean, just just to really see 623 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 4: what he can do against an NFL defense. And on 624 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 4: the opposite end, rooky cornerback Max Melton, who has looked 625 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 4: good against Harrison. And there one on one battles throughout camp. 626 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 4: He's going to face a lot of good receivers in 627 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 4: the league, and so I want to get a look 628 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 4: at seeing some different receivers and throughout the preseason and 629 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 4: having that short term memory of if you get beat okay, 630 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 4: well don't get be the next play, and just kind 631 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 4: of see that process from mount So on both sides 632 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 4: of the ball, that would probably be who I'm most 633 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 4: excited to see, or two rookies. 634 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 3: I want to see Kaiser White. I don't know if 635 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 3: we'll see him in the preseason. I just the hit 636 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,479 Speaker 3: last year in Washington against Sam Howell. I just that 637 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 3: kind of just woke everybody up, and I mean that 638 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 3: was such a tone setter for the culture here and 639 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 3: I can't wait to see Week one this year if 640 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 3: there's another Kaisier White tone setting moment that kind of 641 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 3: galvanizes everybody and says, I don't know that anybody really 642 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 3: wants to play the Arizona Cardinals. 643 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: Different when it's Sam Howe versus Josh Allen, right right, 644 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: that one would probably be that would certainly raise a 645 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: little bit more eyeballs. Eyebrows, if you will. If it 646 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: is a Josh Allen but to your point, yeah, tone 647 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: setter and someone that can really this is who we 648 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: are week one here in twenty twenty four. 649 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, and mac Wilson too, just the way that those 650 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 3: guys could play off of each other and the bond 651 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 3: that they have they pray before practice. They are the 652 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 3: from what I can see, the unquestioned alphas walking on 653 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 3: the field. I mean they are, you know, quarterbacks to 654 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 3: the defense and an extension of you know, Jonathan Gannon 655 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 3: and Drew Petsen. So that's not sure how much we're 656 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 3: going to see that in the preseason. Definitely want to 657 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 3: see that. I want to see Zavin and Dennis Gardek 658 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 3: play for a couple series and just see if they 659 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 3: can win. Because if they can win with the rest 660 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 3: of the depth on the defensive line in the pass rush, 661 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 3: I feel like that's that's a plus for this team 662 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 3: that you know, I don't think was a plus last year. 663 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 3: I mean, the offense was great the last four games, 664 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 3: but you know, and and you know, yeah, the defense was. 665 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 3: It just didn't look like a loaded defense. I want 666 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 3: to know if this defense is loaded, because if this 667 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 3: defense is loaded or has potential to be, if you 668 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 3: can say yeah, there's a lot of young guys. But 669 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 3: just stay in the hunt until Thanksgiving and knock the 670 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 3: door in December and maybe James Connor takes a little 671 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 3: rest and you just start handing him the football and 672 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 3: he just kind of picks up steam here in December. 673 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 3: That's that's that's the that's the recipe, I think for 674 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 3: the Cardinals to light this valley on fire and in 675 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 3: shocks and people bet the over is Kyler put out 676 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 3: on his Instagram. 677 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: The pass rush certainly going to be a question and 678 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: going to be a question for a long time this 679 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: season until it gets answered. There is no question though, 680 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: where you can get all your coverage during the preseason. 681 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: That is Arizona's Family preseason opener on Saturday, five PM, 682 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: day passed Ron Wolfley, play by play analysts, Danny's on 683 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: the sidelines. Mark You've got pre and postgame coverage not 684 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: only for that game, but the entire preseason, and then 685 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: as well, Cardinals coaches show the extra point on weekdays 686 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: weekdays as well. 687 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 3: Right, we got to have you we all come in 688 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 3: studio at some point, or maybe we can just dial 689 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 3: you up from the Cardinal studio.
