Speaker 1: Welcome Bird Gang. On today's show football Without DeAndre Hopkins,

2
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 1: what will it look like? We give our thoughts. Plus,

3
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: are reinforcements needed at the wide receiver position or maybe

4
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: there are other spots on the roster that are more

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: in need of some help. We put it all on

6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: the table. It's Cardinals Cover two, Episode five to sixty three,

13
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: had a good weekend and more importantly, MJ a relaxing

14
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: weekend because it's shaping up to be a busy week.

15
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: Let's see, We've got the schedule release coming up on Thursday,

16
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two draft class and undrafted free agents,

17
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: what the field for the first time on Friday, Plus

18
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: as we speak, Phase two, the offseason workout program continues

19
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: so so much for an off season. As we like

20
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: to say, in the National Football League, there is no

21
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: such thing as an off season. Yeah, I'm excited, Craig

22
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: because obviously the schedule, I mean, it's we know who

23
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: the opponents are. Now it's you know, how many primetime

24
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: games we talked about, where's the bye week, who's your opener?

25
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: How many road games do you have back to back?

26
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: So that's always fascinating. And then Cardinals really have a

27
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: really impressive home schedule and they've got some quality opponents

28
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: on the road, obviously going to Denver in Las Vegas,

29
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's just you know, in the Bird game

30
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: has done a really good job traveling. Obviously Mexico City.

31
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: We know that's one game. But yeah, it's exciting. And

32
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: then you know, we spend so much time and really

33
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: we got to focus just on the eight draft picks

34
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: in the undrafted free agents, and now we get a

35
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: chance to see him in person. You know, obviously they've

36
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: been through the banquet tour and so we're gonna get

37
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: a chance to talk to at least the top four

38
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: picks on Thursday, and I'm excited about that. You're looking

39
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: at Trey McBride, Cameron Thomas, my G Sanders and Keyante Ingram.

40
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: And I think all those guys are gonna have a

41
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: chance to obviously, you know, make the roster. But it's

42
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting because when last year, when Rondale Moore

43
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: was out there, I'm like, this guy is small, and

44
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: then he starts seeing him running, You're like, he's fast,

45
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: you know, like so he was with five to seven

46
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: and you know, so this really And when Robert Candico

47
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: was in here, I mean he failed the uniform him

48
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: but didn't pan out in the long run. So it's

49
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: you don't you don't want to make observation, but I

50
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: just want to see what they look like in a

51
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: Cardinals uniform. And it won't be full pads or anything

52
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: like that. It's helmets and shorts, says BA used to say,

53
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: it's soccer practice. It's not quite football. But it is

54
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: the first time on an NFL field with NFL coaches.

55
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: So how do you respond to that? How much do

56
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: you retain of the playbook in which these kids are

57
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: given it? And I can say kids because you know

58
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: I can, I'm older. Well, I remember last year Sean Jefferson,

59
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: new wide receivers coach. He walked over run del Moore

60
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: and said, you're not on scholarship anymore. Doesn't matter what

61
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: you did before you arrived. You're here now. You're just

62
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: like everyone else. You gotta earn it. That's right, and

63
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: that's the way it should be. I mean, I want

64
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: competition across the board. Obviously you have your starters, but

65
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: there's one thing this team wants to do is have

66
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: some depth at the back end of the roster. And

67
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: don't let what happened last year down the stretch affect

68
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: you getting into the postseason. Quick notes on the schedule

69
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: release again five pm Arizona time on Thursday, and again

70
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: the National Football League does such a great job of

71
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: slow playing this, which we talked about on our most

72
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: recent episode of Cardinals Covered two presented by Hunday, probably

73
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 1: partner of the Arizona Cardinals, because we are finding out

74
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: certain games. They announced the international games, including the Ardinals

75
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: and forty nine Ers in Mexico City that will be

76
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: Monday Night football November twenty first. Amazon announced during the

77
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: draft its first Thursday night matchup Chargers and Chiefs. Doesn't

78
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: get much better than that. And now and we'll happen

79
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: during the course of this week. Daily. Now we do

80
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: note two more matchups in week two, Chargers in Chiefs

81
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: on Thursday Night Football, and then we sort of have

82
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: a doubleheader on Monday Night football. Doubleheader because there's two games,

83
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: but not back to back. Tennessee Buffalo on ESPN, Minnesota

84
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: Philly on ABC that was announced earlier on Monday, May ninth,

85
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: and some other games will get announced by CBS and

86
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: Fox as the week as we get closer to Thursday.

87
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: I mean, now you talk about you know, Tennessee was

88
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: the number one scene last year. Obviously we go back

89
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: to Ryan Tannehill in those three interceptions against Cincinnati. We

90
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: know a Buffalo when totetoe with Kansas City. So this

91
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: is a great matchup in the season because sometimes it

92
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: comes down to the tie breakers. Obviously, Buffalo has to

93
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: take care of business inside of the division. With the

94
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: you know, with the improvement of Miami and the Jets

95
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: on paper and obviously the Patriots, you just don't know

96
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: what to expect from Belichick. So yeah, I mean this

97
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: is I mean, these are great games. And you know

98
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: the fact that you look at the Eagles and a

99
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: j Brown and the spotlight first time we're in that uniform,

100
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: and this will be their first meeting between the Eagles

101
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: and the Vikings since twenty nineteen. So obviously being in

102
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: the same conference doesn't mean you're always going to play

103
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: him every year. So three matchups known in week two

104
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: so far, and again Cardinals will announce their schedule or

105
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,239
Speaker 1: have their schedule announced five pm on Thursday. They will

106
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: or should say we will be able to announce the

107
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: first home opponents, whether that's Week one or week two,

108
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: but the first home opponent will be announced a couple

109
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: hours prior to the grand unveiling, if you will, at

110
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: five o'clock. So again, National Football like does a great

111
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: job in the middle of May to make sure it

112
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: is still top of mine even though we are post

113
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: draft and now kind of into phase two, phase three

114
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: of three eight. Well, I mean, let's be honest, when

115
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: we when they announced the Cardinals were playing the Niners,

116
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: we started looking at the matchup and just you know,

117
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: we don't know who the quarterback is going to be.

118
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: And I'm sure they're doing this in Buffalo and tennis

119
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: seat today because that's yeah, that's all you'll have to

120
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: chew on. But as you mentioned over the next couple

121
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: of days, you'll see the different networks release a couple

122
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: of games. And you know one thing that you know

123
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,119
Speaker 1: when you get to Thursday, you can't you can't follow

124
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: these leaks because you just don't know what's you know. Obviously,

125
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: if a team, some teams release it a little bit earlier,

126
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: everyone's supposed to release at the same time. I get it.

127
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: Um what are they gonna say, you can't do it?

128
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: So but be aware of these leaks because sometimes the

129
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: dots don't connect. All of a sudden. You're seeing this

130
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: team play here and then they're also here, So just

131
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: be careful with that and just listen. I'm looking forward

132
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: with the schedule, but I've learned over the years just wait,

133
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: it's all gonna come out at the same time. And

134
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: between May and September, a lot can happen, as far

135
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: as hey, they're gonna go ten and seven, they're gonna

136
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: go nine and eight. Yeah, it's just a lot can happen.

137
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: And this on phase two because we haven't really talked

138
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: much about the offseason strength and conditioning program, but it's

139
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: now moved to on field workouts, individual group instruction with coaches.

140
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: There's no helmets, no live contact. You can't have offense

141
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: or defense. You can't have offensive players against offensive players

142
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: as far as to simulate a defense, but no offense

143
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: versus defense just yet. It is phase two. It is

144
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: still voluntary. But I'll say this much. MJF been looking

145
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: at the photo galleries on asy Cardinals dot com. James Connor,

146
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: zach ertz, JJ Watt, Buddha Baker. There are a number

147
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: of players here getting in some early work. And yes

148
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: it is early, not mandatory. Would you like to see

149
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: everyone here? Absolutely, but until you get to mandatory minicamp,

150
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: that's when it's manage to it later in June. But

151
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: I am impressed by the not just the numbers, but

152
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: the names. When you're talking about a Connor and ERTs, Watt,

153
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker, but Isaiah Simmons and Davin Collins have been here.

154
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: Whether here every day, don't know that, but they are

155
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,119
Speaker 1: a handful of guys, more than a handful of guys

156
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: are showing up. And you know, normally when you sign

157
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: a free agent, you know they're eager to come here

158
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: and whether it's a one or two year contract, kind

159
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: of move their family here and so they don't have

160
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: a ton of free agency. You know, you look at

161
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: Jeff Cladney and then Nick Virgil and there was a

162
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: tight end Anderson, Stephen Anderson. Yeah. So for the most part,

163
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: these guys have been here, so they know how it works.

164
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: But if you're a new guy, you got a new position, coach,

165
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: you got new teammates. But it's not like you're like

166
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: last year you had so many new faces. I mean

167
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: when when they came out of a free agency initially

168
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: with j J. Watt and then Colton McCoy and James Connor,

169
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: that was a little bit later. I'm making the trade

170
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: for Rodney Hudson. That was a little bit different. And

171
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: that's why I think it's so important for these guys

172
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: that are going into their second offseason with the Cardinals,

173
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot better than a year ago

174
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: where maybe their head was spending a little bit. Even

175
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: a guy like Zach Ertz getting traded during the season. Well,

176
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: Marco Wilson has been here, Dennis Gardeck, Victor d McCage

177
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: as far as second year player Victor going into his

178
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: second season on the offensive side, a good number of

179
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: wide receivers, Antoine Wesley, Greg Doorge, Andy Isabella, Andrew Biselli

180
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: again all young players. But to your points, not a

181
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: new position coach, but a second season with Sean Jefferson

182
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: and again players that who knows might hear their name

183
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: called based off the fact that you do not have

184
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins for those first six games, Can Antoine Wesley

185
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: get more playing time? What about Greg Dorge? Andy Isabella

186
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: remains on the roster even though his agent has permission

187
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: to seek a trade. Hasn't happened yet, so you don't

188
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen. Yeah, And you know, when we

189
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: got a chance to talk to Wesley after the season,

190
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: you know one of the questions I asked because you

191
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: were initially and you know, I'll give him credit because

192
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: he knew the system him and Kyler trusted him, and

193
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: Cliff trusted Wesley. So but he's got to get stronger.

194
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: And he talked about I'm proving his route running and

195
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: that's the stuff you do on on your own when

196
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: nobody's watching. And then you carried over to here, and

197
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: then you gotta have a guy like Jerry Sullivan or

198
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: Sean Jefferson that can help you get off press coverage.

199
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: But he needs to get a little bit stronger, but hey,

200
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: he's a body and if you want to go four

201
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: and five wide, I mean, I'll take my chances with him.

202
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: Not so much targeting every game, but there's gonna be opportunities.

203
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: He's got that third or fourth corner around him. I'll

204
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: take my chances if Kyler can throw it up for

205
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: the fifty fifty balls. And remember, he saw a lot

206
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: of time late last season those last three games, eight catches,

207
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: seventy six yards and three touchdowns because he was needed

208
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 1: to step in for d Hop. The question is is

209
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: he needed this season or not? Who knows, But he's

210
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: putting in the work right now. Yeah. And you know

211
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: last year, you and I got a chance to see

212
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: Picelli and Greg Dortch and they were catching everything. Now

213
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,359
Speaker 1: that obviously Hop was practicing, h Green was practicing Isabella

214
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 1: he Covid, but he was practicing in the fact that

215
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: hit keup these guys around. And there was a game

216
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: this year in the first possession that Dortsche got the

217
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: ball and I was told that Kingsbury feels like there's

218
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: a skill set for him now, So somebody's gonna have

219
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: to pick up his slack again. You're not gonna rely

220
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 1: on one guy. It has to be a committee from

221
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 1: the receiver position and the tight end position and the

222
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: running back position. Cardinals Covered two presented by Hyunday, proud

223
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: partner of the Arizona Cardinals, speaking of the wide receiver position.

224
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football. The NFL Networks flagship show in the

225
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: morning last Friday, May sixth, saw this. I wanted to

226
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: bring it up here with you, MJ, but you got

227
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: Kay Adams, Peter Schreger, Tom Pellicero, and Tory Smith, the

228
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: former wide receiver who played eight seasons one two Super Bowls,

229
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: had this roundtable discussion question, how concerned are you for

230
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: the Cardinals with DeAndre Hopkins's six game suspension, Smith, former

231
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: player quote, I'm not concerned at all, and he reasoned

232
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: because there's enough talent mentioned Mark, Keith Brown, Zach Ertz,

233
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: Trey McBride to quote fill that void. Now. The others,

234
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: non players, more media fans like you and I, they

235
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: were concerned or at least had a lot of questions,

236
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: especially how last season played out minus number ten and

237
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 1: that part I get because that's the last time we

238
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: saw this offense and action was without DeAndre Hopkins and

239
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: it did not look good. Yeah, I'm a big Tory

240
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: Smith fan. I enjoyed, you know, watching him play, especially

241
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. I think he was in Philly. I follow

242
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: him on Twitter. He's a really intelligent guy. Now, the

243
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: thing is, though the numbers reflected Craig, I mean eight

244
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: and two, scoring thirty points a game, close to three

245
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: to four hundred yards. But the difference is you have

246
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: the entire offseason to prepare for this. I mean to

247
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: sit here and say they're not going to miss DeAndre Hopkins.

248
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: I mean, we've watched this guy plays one of the

249
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: top five receivers in football now. But if this happened

250
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: in like I said, if happened in September first, and

251
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: you didn't have any idea and all of a sudden

252
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: you're scrambling, they should have had plenty of time and

253
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: I used the word no excuses. But they got to

254
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: find out what they have and we're gonna get into

255
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: some receivers possitive if they could bring in. But yeah,

256
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna miss them. But you just got

257
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: to hope that maybe they run the ball a little

258
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: bit more, they utilize their tight ends and twelve personnel.

259
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: You hope the defense can stop the run, give Kyler's

260
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: short field. So it's just not on the offense. It's

261
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: got to be an entire special teams in defense to

262
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: where they they Let's be honest, the offense right now,

263
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: I mean they can plug and play right now. Defense

264
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: we're still got a lot of question marks. And I

265
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 1: was looking at the Cardinals offense. I think they're they're

266
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: like one hundred and thirteen million of the salary cap

267
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,719
Speaker 1: right now Cardinals offense currently. Okay, yeah, so I mean

268
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: and again, eventually, you know, Channel Jones coming off the

269
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: books and some other guys, but eventually they're gonna have

270
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: to pay Jalen Thompson. You know, you know, we'll see

271
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: how it else works out with some of these young guys.

272
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: But their offense, you know, you look at the offensive line,

273
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: how much they're making us going to the last year.

274
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: So to me, they're going to figure it out. But

275
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: to say they're not gonna miss him, I can't go

276
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: down that road yet. They discussed talking about Good Morning Football,

277
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and his reliance on DeAndre Hopkins specifically, just

278
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: looking at the numbers, the numbers of DeAndre Hopkins with

279
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray individual numbers for DeAndre Hopkins a down season

280
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: even with missing as much time as he did, just

281
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: he had more weapons around him. Talking about Kyler Murray,

282
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: So who didn't have to target Number ten as much?

283
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: But Kyler Murray. With DeAndre Hopkins on the football field,

284
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: what does that mean for this offense? Last season? For

285
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: k one better than seventy two percent completion percentage compared

286
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: to sixty five percent when Hopkins was not around yards

287
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: per tenth eight point eight with six point six without

288
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: eighteen touchdowns, eight interceptions with six touchdowns, two interceptions without

289
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: passer rating over one hundred and eight with less than

290
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: ninety without So there is a considerable difference with this offense,

291
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: namely Kyler Murray, because when we talk about this offense,

292
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: you have to talk about the quarterback. When you have

293
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins on the football field, what he means not

294
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: only his own talent, but the talent of him being

295
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: on the field, and how it magnifies everyone else's ability

296
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: because opposing defenses are looking Number ten's direction to allow

297
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: a Antoine Wesley or at the time, Christian Kirk to

298
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: have a big game or a big couple of games

299
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: now I'll say this based on the history with Hollywood.

300
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: Brown and Kyler Murray played two years together. He wants

301
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: to be here. They've been throwing in Texas. I don't

302
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: know how much, but clearly there. He wasn't going to

303
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: post a video until the trade went through, and he's

304
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: posted a few of them. I think, you know, he's

305
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: gonna have to be the guy. You know, he was

306
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: the number one receiver in Baltimore. You know they're more

307
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: run heavy, and then utilize the tight ends with Mark Andrews.

308
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna have to be the guy that

309
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: takes the top off the defense. He's got the speed

310
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: and you know, you read stuff. Can he get off

311
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: press coverage? I mean you watch his routes. So he's

312
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: gonna have to be your weapon. Not to say he's

313
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: the savior, but you're gonna have to utilize his skill

314
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: step because he can get deep where Isabella hasn't been.

315
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: He hasn't had that role, and you know, obviously it

316
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: hasn't worked out a j. Green's more, he's a guy

317
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: that can run the routes, but he doesn't have the

318
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: speed to where a team is going to put a

319
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: guy behind him. They're gonna try to cover him one

320
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: on one on the hip, so and then the two

321
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: tight ends, you know, and then then the running game.

322
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I think, you know, we'll see how the

323
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: running back rotation works out, but I like, you know

324
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: Ingraham and possibly a one two punch with him and

325
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: James Connor. So, but you know, a lot of those

326
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: numbers where Kyler wasn't healthy, they couldn't score in the

327
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: red zone, couldn't get separation, and the defense couldn't they

328
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: couldn't force turnovers like they did when they were seven

329
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: oh on the road, they were forcing turnovers and they

330
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: would give it these guys or fields and so it

331
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 1: was a collection. But clearly the offense stalled just because

332
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: he was getting hit. The offensive line was nine different

333
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: line combinations, so it was a little more than just

334
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: hop mean, you'd like to see somebody else step up.

335
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: And I think that's why we're hearing so much about

336
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: Rondel Moore and how they want to use him this year.

337
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,479
Speaker 1: I'll give you three reasons why the Cardinals should be

338
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: able to handle a six game absence of DeAndre Hopkins

339
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: a full season, just six games, which is a third

340
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: of the season. One you brought it up time, meaning

341
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: they have several months now before the start of the

342
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: regular season. Two zach Ertz an offseason, not just a

343
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: mid season edition, but an offseason was zach Ertz to

344
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: try to get him more comfortable within this offense, something

345
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: you did not have last year. And number three, Marky's Brown.

346
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: You do have, not de Hop's replacement, but someone that

347
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: should be able to much like we thought with Aj

348
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: Green a year ago. But Green is getting up there

349
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: in age, Marky's Bryan, and it's still very very young

350
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 1: in this league. So those three reasons you would think, now,

351
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: we won't know the answer until we get to September

352
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: and week one through week six, but this team should

353
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: be better. Now they're gonna go six and oz without

354
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: DeAndre Apkins, four and two, three and three the schule

355
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: to exactly because and then you'll have a little bit

356
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: more of an idea. But okay, can you, for lack

357
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: of a better term, tread water without d Hop And

358
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: then when he comes back, hopefully it's an integration the

359
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: year I let's go, let's pick things back up. Now

360
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a different discussion when d Hop comes back.

361
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: But there's certainly that idea based off of time Ertz

362
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: and Brown being here, this team should be able to

363
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: in tor smiss words, fill that void of number ten

364
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: not being on the field. And you know, I guess

365
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: we'll have a small sample. I mean it is a

366
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: third of the season, but you know, you know how

367
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: I again, I know you have to run the ball

368
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: to set up play action. It's a passing league. I

369
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: mean the company cornerbacks were drafted versus wide receivers, it

370
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: was like fifty seven cornerbacks because you got to have

371
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: two or three. But maybe they run the ball in

372
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: those first six games a little bit more. You know,

373
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: my magic numbers thirty carries all of a sudden. Now,

374
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: hopefully the offensive line us stay healthy for them those

375
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 1: six weeks and the remainder of the season, maybe we

376
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: see a little bit different. I do think we're going

377
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: to see more twelve personnel because in you know, hopefully

378
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: Max Williams can come back, but I think they can

379
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: roll out Trey McBride in zach Ertz and then you

380
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: got roundel Moore and you know, we'll see where Hollywood

381
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 1: Brown lines up, and then you got Green. So maybe

382
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: they run the ball a little bit more and then

383
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 1: utilized play action because we know Kyler Murray can make

384
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: these throws down the field. He's a much more accurate

385
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: quarterback twenty plus yards than Lamar Jackson in terms of

386
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 1: the position that de Hot played. That X outside receiver

387
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: on the left side of the field. Is that do

388
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: you think a J Green? Or is that Mark Keith Brown?

389
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: Green got the experience their last season, but had much

390
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: better production as the number two wide receiver. Brown was

391
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: the number one guy in Baltimore. Just make him number

392
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: one here or keep him as that receiver on the

393
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: right side, and then when d Hop comes back, it's

394
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: just a plug and play and you're not moving Brown

395
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 1: all around, even though we're we keep hearing that Brown

396
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: can play everywhere as far as a wide receiver lining

397
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: up left, right, or in the slot. Well, in Kingsbury's offense,

398
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: that X receiver is very important to the left side.

399
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: I mean because sometimes you can won one on one matchups.

400
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: We know that Kyler can make that throw from the

401
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: right hash mark to the out route, and there was

402
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: times early in Hop's career here they were throwing the

403
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,239
Speaker 1: bubble screens. I gotta think you're gonna line him up

404
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: because the idea is now I don't know if Brown's

405
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: replacing Christian Kirk or is it rondel Moore We replaced

406
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,239
Speaker 1: in Christian Kirk because clearly both of those guys can

407
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: play in the slot, and if they want to get

408
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 1: more of a round, you know, more routes for the

409
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: route tree for for roundel Moore, it's gonna be interest. Again,

410
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't pigeonhole any of these guys, but I don't know.

411
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: If I want a g Green on the left side,

412
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to perform on the right side. And again

413
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm just connecting dots. So you might be able as

414
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: opposed to say, all right, this is what you're going

415
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,719
Speaker 1: to do Marquis Brian. It might be a number of

416
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: different things that we see during those six games, and

417
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: even within a particular game, Well, what do they say.

418
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,959
Speaker 1: We want to get him in space and I mean

419
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: just watch the film. I mean, once he gets going,

420
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: he's hard to cover, and again you gotta get off

421
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 1: press covers and everything else. But the fact that he's here,

422
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: he's got a relationship with Kyler, that that that will grow.

423
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: You know, obviously it's about timing, but the fact that

424
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: they spent two years together, they've been working out together,

425
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: that you could push the you know, the fast forward button,

426
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: because I don't think there's gonna be a lot of

427
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: growing pains when it comes to those two start the season.

428
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: When we talk about moving pieces when it comes to

429
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: the offensive line, it's always better to move just one

430
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: piece as opposed to a domino effect to where this

431
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: guy moves here, then that guy shifts over to the

432
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: other side. With a wide receiver at this day and age,

433
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: especially with Mark Keith Brown, the ability to play multiple

434
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: positions and not just line up and be pitcheonholed on

435
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: the left side. So to your point about just keeping

436
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: aj Green on the right side, because that's where he

437
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: was most comfortable and most productive last season. And maybe

438
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: you're utilizing Mark Keith Brown as that X, or maybe

439
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: sometimes it's Rondel Moore, or sometimes it's zach Ertz, or

440
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: sometimes it's Antoine Wesley. That X can be more interchangeable

441
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 1: size wise. I mean, I don't mean if he's the

442
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth receiver. Size wise. I think Wesley can

443
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: line up on the left side, and he did that

444
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: a lot last season. Yeah, and he was that was

445
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: a beauty when Hopp was out and he was getting

446
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: reps in practice, and then that's again he played for Kingsbury.

447
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: Obviously he knows the offense. Kyler trust Um as you mentioned,

448
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: three touched on, so he could be a guy that

449
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: lines up there because he is. He is a guy

450
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: that obviously he's still raw when it comes to running routes.

451
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 1: He has the ability to track the ball in the air,

452
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: so maybe that again, I don't know. I think we're

453
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: gonna see zach Ertz in the slot this year. We

454
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: can see McBride in motion and then eventually being like

455
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: an h back and then you can throw the ball

456
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: in the flat to him. And then we haven't even

457
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: talked about James Conner in the passing game. So I mean,

458
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: on paper, the offense as long as they can stay

459
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: healthy quarterback in the offensive line, and clearly you're gonna

460
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: miss Hoop, but I think they have enough to muster through.

461
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: We'll look at the schedule. Obviously, it's a week to

462
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: week proposition in the NFL. You just don't want to

463
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: have a losing record after six games. Bottom line, Bird Gang.

464
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,479
Speaker 1: As we speak here on May nine, the Cardinals do

465
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: have options. The question is do they need more options,

466
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: and that's where what has happened in the last four

467
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: or five days with respects the Cardinals in the wide

468
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: receiver position and being tagged with certain wide receivers. Odell

469
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: Beckham Junior, a free agent, showed up at Game two

470
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: between the Suns and Mavericks in the Western Conference semifinals

471
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: and people are wondering, eight OBJ is available. Problem with

472
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: that is he's still rehabbing an ACL injury. Is he

473
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,959
Speaker 1: going to be healthy week one or is he more

474
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: of a midseason addition to what y'all argue. Well, if

475
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: that's the case, if he's not going to be available

476
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: in two, week seven, a week eight, then you don't

477
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: need him here even if it's working out, because you're

478
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: going to get that midseason acquisition with Dehat. Well, if

479
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, he got it hurt in the Super

480
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: Bowl and that was February eleventh. Yes, and he's rehabbing

481
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: out here, and there's a lot of good rehab places

482
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: and everyone's different. I mean, Dennis Garter tore his in December.

483
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: He was you know, obviously he had a knock some

484
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: of the rostov. Max Williams suffered his in Week five

485
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: last year. We're still hoping hopefully he can get healthy. Yeah,

486
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, I know that Kyler was a

487
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: big fan of Odell Beckham. He was under contract last

488
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 1: year or so, and then the money and then the compensation,

489
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: so it was more like fantasy. But I know that

490
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: Kyler likes OBJ. But the other name is is Dez Bryant.

491
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: And he went on serious, serious XM radio and publicly

492
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: politicking his way to say, you know what, I'm interested

493
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 1: in playing for the Arizona Cardinals, not the Dez Brian

494
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,239
Speaker 1: of old. As he mentioned that someone to come in

495
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: and be a veteran presence in that locker room, which

496
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: is great, but MJ. He hasn't played since twenty seventeen.

497
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 1: He's thirty three years old. Yeah, you can be in

498
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: great shape, but there's a difference between being in great

499
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: shape going to the gym every single day versus being

500
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: in football shape. I just well, I think the question

501
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: becomes now if I'm the Cardinals, you know, I wait

502
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: for all the offseason workouts to go, I wait for

503
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: the mandatory mini camp to go, and then I reevaluate

504
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: things because you know, Jeff Jarvis Landry's out there, but

505
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: you need a guy for short term, so I still

506
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 1: think he can catch the ball. I know what you're saying.

507
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: So I would when the Cardinals get to the offseason,

508
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me if they gave him a workout

509
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: and just kind of But is he ready to go

510
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: to camp. I mean, he's a veteran guy. Usually don't

511
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: show up until the first week and you got to

512
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: learn it's a system. But short term, Now we get

513
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: to week seven and he's only playing thirteen snaps a game,

514
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: how is he going to feel if this, let's say

515
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: he comes in. I don't Again, I'm just more hypothetical.

516
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 1: I don't really don't like to speculate on this kind

517
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: of stuff. But I just wonder after six games, I mean,

518
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hops team and then you got all

519
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: you would Brown. I mean, in the perfect scenario, you

520
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: just like to see one of these guys step up

521
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: and if you have to go more twelve personnel because

522
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: you have the tight ends to do it, I have

523
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: to run the ball more. I'm intrigued with Bryant, but again,

524
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: as you said, he hasn't played. He's got a lot

525
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: going on off the field, and he's a very successful

526
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: man person, and he does camps and he helps wide

527
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: receivers against corners, And every time I see him catch

528
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: a ball, it's always one hand at which I'm like,

529
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: put both hands on the ball. But he's got these

530
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 1: big mits. Again, I would just kick the tires and

531
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: just see where he's at and where this team is.

532
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't do anything until after all the offseason

533
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: workouts where you go back to the drawing board and say,

534
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: we got to you know, maybe we're a little thin here.

535
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: Maybe we're a little thin here. Because I still think

536
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: there's free free agents out there they would like to acquire.

537
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: It's just a matter they got to go through the process.

538
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: Now they're bringing in twelve undrafted free agents. You got

539
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: eight draft picks plus Hollywood Brown, so they gotta find

540
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: out what they have first. But when it comes to experience,

541
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: none of these guys have the experience at des Brant.

542
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: But you bring up a fatter point up he hasn't

543
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: played in a while well as we speak. If you're

544
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: looking for a wide receiver that has been playing. You

545
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 1: mentioned Jarvis Landry, There's Will fuller, Ty, Hilton, Julio Jones.

546
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: Those are names that are currently available and have played

547
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: more recently than a dez Brian. But I like what

548
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: you said as far as there's no reason to do

549
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: anything right now. Go through rookie mini camp, OTA's minicamp,

550
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: get to training camp, and then you have that discussion

551
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: as far as all right, we like our players, but

552
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 1: in order to handle a six game apsence, we need

553
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: one more offensive weapon. And it's nothing against an Antoine

554
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: Wesley and or an Isabella or Dortsch or whomever. It's

555
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: we need to win these games. We need six games.

556
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: So maybe it's a six game rental and it becomes

557
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 1: someone that gets signed mid training camp, whether that's des

558
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: Brian or whomever. Just something to your point, you wait

559
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: because you don't need it right now. Yeah, and I'm

560
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: sure him being you know, a businessman and with the

561
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: NFT stuff, I'm sure he doesn't want to come here now. Again,

562
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: if you're gonna be committed, you got to be all

563
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 1: into it. But he was in with the Ravens and

564
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: he didn't even play in a lot of games that year,

565
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: So again I wouldn't do anything. And then you know

566
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: what the Cardinals got a hold for is nobody else

567
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: gets injured at that position in training camp, because now

568
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're I wouldn't saying you're in

569
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: desperate moll, but they all every team has a ready list,

570
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: and whose own they won't won't work out any of

571
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: those other receivers like Julio can't stay healthy, but can

572
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: he stay healthy for six games? An injury at that

573
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver position certainly would change a lot of people's opinions,

574
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, maybe you do get a

575
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: little not desperate, but more in need where I we

576
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: do need to do something now versus weight Yeah, and

577
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: again Hopple he'll be able to participate, But I think

578
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: all the guys should get more reps because they got

579
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: to play in the first six games. Adrian Game will

580
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: get some days off, but a lot of these young

581
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: guys just fighting for a roster spot in playing time.

582
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: Cardinals Covered two presented by Hyunday, proud partner of the

583
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. If we are looking as far as adding

584
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: help to this roster, which right now stands at ninety

585
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: plus one, Bernhardtsikovitz has a roster exemption, but you are

586
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: up against that ninety player limit, and I'll go back

587
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: to the other side of the ball and talk defense

588
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: if we think that an addition needs to be made,

589
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm still not very comfortable that outside linebacker

590
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: Answering the question who is going to rush the quarterback

591
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: outside of Marcus Golden, Devon Kinnard can do it, has

592
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: done it when he was with the Detroit lines. Here

593
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: though with the Cardinals it's been more set in the

594
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: edge helping defend the run. Maybe that's what this defense

595
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: needs more of than rushing the quarterback as far as

596
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: an outside edge presence is concerned. But you do not

597
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: have anyone to replace Chandler Jones. You did draft a

598
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: bunch of edge rushers three, but I put a little

599
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: asterisk next to Jesse Looketta because he might be better

600
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: suited to play inside linebacker. So maybe two and a

601
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: half edge rushers. So that to me is something that

602
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: I'm still looking at as far as an outside linebacker

603
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: and edge rusher. But perhaps, and I've been swayed before

604
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: here on Cardinals Cover two, because maybe that defensive line,

605
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: the interior of the defensive line is more of a

606
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: glaring hole because you look this offseason, this team has

607
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: done nothing to address the interior of the defensive line,

608
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: you're released, Jordan Philip Corey Peters is a free agent

609
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: might retire, let's according to reports. So you look at

610
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: who was on the roster versus who is on the roster.

611
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: There are no new names outside of three rookie free

612
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: agents that will be in town later this week. Yeah,

613
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: it's it's an interesting conversation because you know, you look

614
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: at Marcus Golden thirty one going in his eighth season,

615
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: Kennard's thirty going in his ninth season, Dennis Cardix twenty

616
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: seven going to his fifty season, Rondelle Carter twenty four

617
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: is going in his second season. Cardinals claimed him, Victor

618
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: Dimocchi's twenty two, second season, Cameron Thomas third round rookie,

619
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: Maja Sanders twenty two rookie, third round rookie, and then

620
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: Jesse look at a seventh round. So you got a

621
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: couple of veterans and then but these guys are gonna

622
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: have to play. I know what you're saying. You look

623
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: at this and go, you gotta get another veteran guy

624
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: in here. But I'm gonna go a little bit further.

625
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: You talked about the defensive tackle. So they have Richard

626
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: Lawrence and he should be the starter. And then you

627
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: got Lucky's. Both of these guys are twenty three and

628
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: they're going into the third season. And then they went

629
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: out and signed three undrafted free agents Manny Jones sixty

630
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: four two ninety from Colorado State West, Miles six five

631
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: two seventy nine, and Laurent Stokes six four two seventy.

632
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: Now these are all rookies and are undrafted free agents.

633
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: Now we know about the practice squad, So and then

634
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: you look at the defensive ends. Craig he got JJ

635
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: Watt thirty three twelfth season, Zach Allen twenty four fourth season,

636
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: Michael Dogby twenty sixth third season, Jonathan Ledbetter who had

637
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: to come in for a pinch in Cleveland He's twenty

638
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: three second season, and then Matt Dickerson. So when I

639
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: look at that, I would like to have a veteran

640
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: defensive lineman added to this roster of veteran because after

641
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: the top two you have three undrafted free agents. At

642
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: defensive tackle, you've got Vote two and Lawrence, and then

643
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: as a true defensive tackle, that's it. But those three

644
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: rookie free agents, Jones, Miles and Stokes, they're listed as

645
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: defensive tackles. Now, Jones played inside his last two seasons,

646
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: Miles was more of an outside guy, but there wanting

647
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: to see what he can do inside. And Stokes played

648
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: inside at Oklahoma. But all three of those six four six,

649
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: five sixty four, but less than three hundred pounds Foe

650
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: two three fifty five, Lawrence three h eight, it would appear.

651
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: And you look at Corey Peters three thirty five, Phillips

652
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: three forty one. That is there without knowing anything more

653
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: of a conscious effort as far as that interior defensive line.

654
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: This team wants to get not just younger, but more

655
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,719
Speaker 1: athletic quicker off the line of scrimmage. But can you

656
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: handle the center guard combination? Are you strong enough to

657
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: get through that double team or through that gap to

658
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: get into the backfield and stop the ball carrier? Because

659
00:33:55,680 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: Jones two ninety, Miles two seventy nine, Stokes two seventy eight.

660
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: Do you move J. J. Watt inside a little bit more?

661
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: What about Zach Allen, Jonathan Ledbetter do your point did

662
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: get the starts or got significant playing time in Cleveland

663
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: when Corey Peters tested positive for COVID nineteen, So you

664
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: do have options it's just not the prototypical defensive tackle,

665
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:22,919
Speaker 1: that beast in the middle that this team has currently. Yeah,

666
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: it's a good observation because you're right. I mean, you

667
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 1: look at Peters and Phillips, I mean there were three

668
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: plus I mean J. J. Watt is two eighty eight,

669
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: Zach Allen's two eighty one. I didn't realize Michael Dogbi's

670
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 1: two ninety five. So but it's interesting though, because usually

671
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: you want to have run stuffers, guys are or three

672
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: hundred pounds, and then you want to have a guy

673
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: like J. J. Watt and Zach Allen who are two

674
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: eighty one to two eighty eight where they can win

675
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: one on one matchups and they're not just you know,

676
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: obviously getting stoned at the line of scrimmage to where

677
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: they can't move around. But that's something we're gonna have

678
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: to watch because you're right, all these guys they brought

679
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 1: in are less than three hundred pounds defensive tackle position,

680
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: and those are rookie free agents, meaning they were undrafted.

681
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: Jones again teammates with Trey McBride at Colorado States one

682
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty one tackles, thirteen and a half sacks,

683
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,240
Speaker 1: thirty three tackles for loss that was in his career,

684
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: but did play inside on that defensive line in twenty

685
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: twenty and twenty twenty one. Will Miles at a Central Methodist,

686
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: played defensive end there at Central Methodist. Began his college

687
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: career here in Arizona at Arizona Western down in Yuma,

688
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: and then Stokes out of Oklahoma actually could have gone

689
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: back to school. He is a senior, but had that

690
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: super senior year available to him because of COVID nineteen,

691
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: but chose to come out. Didn't hear his name called,

692
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: and he might see himself as far as Hey, look,

693
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: they didn't really address the defensive line. And at six

694
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 1: four two seventy eight, maybe he's a little bit lighter

695
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: than you would like as a defensive tackle, But what

696
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 1: do you want out of that guy? You want someone

697
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: to occupies some space and not allow the running back

698
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 1: to get by you. So I'm just curious and how

699
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: this team handles the defensive line position and edge rusher

700
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: as well to where maybe there is more moving parts,

701
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: more of a rotation. JJ Watt doesn't just play outside,

702
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: Zach Allen doesn't just play outside, but there is some

703
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: more movements of pieces to try to maybe confuse the

704
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: offense a little bit, but also to make up for

705
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,280
Speaker 1: the fact that you don't really have that inside presence

706
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 1: on the line. Yeah, if if I was an agent

707
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: and I had an undrafted free agent defensive alignment, I'm

708
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,959
Speaker 1: calling Arizona. I mean, and here here, they only bring

709
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: it in twelve this year. You sometimes there's fifteen. We'll

710
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: have some tryout guys. They'll bring it in a couple

711
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks for tryouts. But you need an arm But well,

712
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: you look at Leadbetter two eighty, Dickerson two ninety two,

713
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's I guess it's gonna be in,

714
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: but I would definitely bring it now. Keem Hicks is

715
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: out there, he's been he's been injury prone. You're not

716
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: You're gonna get a guy like Corey Peters that maybe

717
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna played twenty to thirty snaps, but he's got

718
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: veteran experience and maybe he'll while you with his technique

719
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: can help these young guys. But listen, I'm not I'm

720
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: concerned just with the lack of experience at the outside

721
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: linebacker position, but I know what they're trying to do here.

722
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: They're trying to obviously flood the position, but I would

723
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: definitely look at a defensive tackle or defensive end. And

724
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: again maybe that happens after, but if you feel like

725
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,760
Speaker 1: you're you're short at that position, I would bring somebody

726
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: in earlier. It's it's not as demanding as looking for

727
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 1: a wide receiver because right now you've got to find

728
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: out what you have on the roster. There are some

729
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: names out there at defensive tackle and Dominican Sue He's

730
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 1: thirty five, Linville Joseph thirty three, Sheldon Richardson thirty one,

731
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: eighty Goldman twenty eight. But those are some defensive tackles

732
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: that are currently available. To your point, maybe it's all right.

733
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: They're out there for a reason. We don't need it

734
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: to play. Now, Let's see what these three rookie free

735
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: agents can do. Or let's see perhaps maybe JJ watt

736
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: play is more inside a little bit. Or Cameron Thomas

737
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: who played with his hand in the dirt as a

738
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,280
Speaker 1: defensive end in college, but is going to be playing

739
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: outside linebacker here with the Cardinals because there is more

740
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: of a need for him right now. Well, maybe maybe

741
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: we're connecting dots here, so you were first on this

742
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: about size with the one thing that Cardinals like to

743
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 1: do and for any player position flexibility, you know, I

744
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: think they'll take one of the guards, whether it's Hayes

745
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: or Smith, and they'll cross check him and start working

746
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 1: at center, so you have a backup center obviously in

747
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: the future. I mean, the more you can do. So

748
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: if you're looking at Cameron Thomas, he could put his

749
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: hand the dirt, he can rush, So of these other

750
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: guys may be able to rush and drop back in.

751
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: The coverage is based on their size and their weight.

752
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: So I think that what they really want to do

753
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 1: is have these guys that can play multiple positions. Obviously,

754
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: when we look at Isaiah maybe there's too much on

755
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: his plate. Instead of five or six, maybe three or four.

756
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,959
Speaker 1: But for the most part, it looks like the id

757
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: these guys. This is more than just outside pass rusher

758
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 1: or a guy that could put his hand the jurors.

759
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: That makes sense. It does because if you look at

760
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: what the Cardinals released from Draft weekend asy cardinals dot com,

761
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: the draft call put in by general managers Steve Kim

762
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: to Cameron Thomas. This is what Kim told Thomas, quote

763
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: the one thing we'd like to do is at least

764
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: try to see if we can have you play some

765
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: thirty four outside linebacker for us. Then he added your

766
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: ability to move around as a real strength. But I

767
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: think the one big thing is we really need help

768
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 1: at outside linebacker and rushing the passer, and obviously that's

769
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: one of your strengths. That was in a brief phone

770
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: conversation when the Cardinals called Thomas and said, hey, welcome

771
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: to Arizona. Thomas six four two sixty seven has that ability.

772
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: Now if you stand him up, how good is he

773
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,959
Speaker 1: as far as getting that curve or getting that edge

774
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: and beating that tackle or that tight end. Well, I mean,

775
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: you know, obviously to trade the first overall pick for

776
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: twenty third for Hollywood Brown, then he get McBride at

777
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: fifty seven and at eighty seven, I know people were

778
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: wondering when they're gonna get their first lineman. I love

779
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 1: his film. Now, he played at San Diego State, but

780
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: he's he's he's active, and to me, he's gonna be

781
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: a guy that's gonna be active on game day. Obviously,

782
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: you hope so being a second round pick and also

783
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: play on special teams, this guy's I think he's more

784
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: athletic than people give him credit for. But he he

785
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: flies around now again, and maybe I look at the competition,

786
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,879
Speaker 1: but here learning from guys like JJ Watt and Zach

787
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:36,479
Speaker 1: Allen and you know, the defensive line coach, he's gonna

788
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: be active on game day. But I'm starting to when

789
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: you after you mentioned it, I'm starting to look at

790
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: maybe they want these guys to do a couple of

791
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: different things and just be pigeonholed. You're an outside linebacker, No,

792
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: there are times we're gonna ask you to rush, and

793
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 1: sometimes you can rush between the guards where you're blitzing.

794
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: And this all goes back to scheme fit with Van

795
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: Joseph and the talent he has. The other edge rusher

796
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: the Cardinals drafted in the third round, my J. Sanders

797
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: out of Cincinnati six five, two forty eight, mentioned that

798
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: he wants to play at two fifty five, which is

799
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: what Chandler Jones was. He played at two fifty five.

800
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 1: So maybe Sanders becomes more of that prototypical rusher, straight ahead,

801
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: get in the backfield, and Thomas becomes more of that guy.

802
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: Maybe you're gonna rush, maybe we're gonna drop you, or

803
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: maybe you're gonna play inside. It's it's a little bit

804
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: different than the Isaiah Simmons where he's moving all around

805
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: the field, meaning literally playing at three different levels of

806
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: the defense. Here with Thomas and Sanders, it's just one

807
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: level of the defense. Seven. It's yeah, it's not going

808
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: to cover a slot receiver. You're not going to cover

809
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 1: the tight end. But it does look there's there's there's

810
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 1: certainly a lot of questions on that front seven as

811
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: far as depth and then the ability and to put

812
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: it all on advance. Joseph and his coaching staff as

813
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: far as while they did it in twenty twenty, getting

814
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: to the quarterback, keep telling everyone that wants to hear me.

815
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 1: You had his son Reddick that year and you caught

816
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: lightning in the bottle with Dennis Gardeck Rddick Quick twelve

817
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: and a half thirteen sacks, had five or six to

818
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: one game and then Reddick. Was it seven sacks and

819
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: ninety three snaps for Gardreck. Yeah, yeah, and that was

820
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: done by committee. But again, you got to be able

821
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 1: to cover, I mean, then you can get pressure. I

822
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: mean it's it's it's really when we look at all

823
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 1: three layers. I mean that. Definitely we're gonna find out

824
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 1: who's who's going to be the starters and who's gonna

825
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: be the depth in the backups because I don't know

826
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: if this entire draft class will make the roster, but

827
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: obviously they're gonna chance to play in the preseason. But yeah,

828
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: that's something we're gonna have to look for in training camp,

829
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: just where's guys lining up, Because there were times and

830
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,280
Speaker 1: they weren't hiding it. Isaiah was always with Billy Davis

831
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: inside linebackers, and then he would go over there with

832
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: Marcus Robertson and Greg Williams during the position drills where

833
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: you rotate opening with the media. So they weren't hiding it.

834
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: But that's what you want to do. You want and

835
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: the fact that I would like to know if it's

836
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: gonna be Haze or Smith because I get the impression

837
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,240
Speaker 1: that Coogs wants to cross check one of these guys

838
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 1: to play center, and that's only that's only gonna help

839
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: you get active on game day. I mean, only can

840
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: dress eight offensive lineman and I like both of these

841
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: guys sizes their anchor. It's gonna be interesting to see

842
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: where Josh Jones lines up. I would say right tackle,

843
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: We really haven't heard a lot on Justin Murray. And

844
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: then obviously Will Hernandez has the experience of relationship. But

845
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: I don't think the Cardinals are done there at the

846
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: offensive line either. No, and there's a report that came

847
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: out over the weekend. ESPN Jeremy Fowler reported that the

848
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,720
Speaker 1: Cardinals are bringing in for a visit veteran center Billy Price,

849
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: who was with the Giants last season, teammates with Will

850
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: Hernandez on that offensive line. Who knows. Maybe by the

851
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: time burg Gang you get a chance to listen to

852
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: this edition to Cardinals Covered two presented by Hunday, probably

853
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: partner of the Arizona Cardinals, the deal will be done.

854
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: But that has been something that was reported, and certainly

855
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: that's kind of under the radar center position. Okay, Rodney

856
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: Hudson is a starter, But what happens if he's missing

857
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: time and he did miss time last season and the

858
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 1: offense suffered nothing against Max Garcia, but that up the

859
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: middle prece ure by posing defenses was a square in

860
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: the face of Max Garcy. You lose the Rodney Hudson

861
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: for however many games knock on wood, it doesn't happen,

862
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: But who's your backup? Kingsbury during the draft said, hey,

863
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: Sean Harlow quote as of today, end quote. So it's

864
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,919
Speaker 1: obviously a position that they're looking at. Twenty six years old,

865
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: former first round pick. He tours bicep or trice up

866
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: at the combine, did not drop him the draft, and

867
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: then he's twenty six. He's six four about three zh eight,

868
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: so he's got good size and he was he was

869
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: a player to play or trade with the Giants, so

870
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: that's where he spent the last year with the Giants.

871
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: But he was a first round pick. He went to

872
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,320
Speaker 1: Ohio State. We know they put a lot of linemen

873
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and he's got he's got starts, he's

874
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: got snaps. Now I don't know, I mean, but again,

875
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: he is strictly a center. I'm sure they're gonna ask

876
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: him to play guard too, just because Max Garcy is

877
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: no longer here. Sean Harlow to me is give him

878
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 1: credit because he helped his team in a pinch, But

879
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 1: you got to upgrade that position if something happens to Rodney.

880
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 1: And normally when you come on a visit knowing that

881
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: you know offseason workouts start. This is a vision where

882
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: they look at the roster and say we want to

883
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 1: add another veteran player, where you don't wait because now

884
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 1: he's got to learn the system, learn the line calls.

885
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 1: So every position is a little bit different because normally

886
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: when you go on visits. Now, now when I say

887
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: this Williams the running back from Kansas City, he wanted

888
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: obviously more money. Cardinals decided to draft the running back.

889
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: So we'll see there, But not only when you come

890
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 1: in for a visit. At this time, all the parameters

891
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: have been discussed, and I would think it's a one

892
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: year deal. You know, within centims, you're active. On game day,

893
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,439
Speaker 1: you play if you're under fifty three or forty six.

894
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: So again I can't predict anything, but Jeremy Foller does

895
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 1: a nice job. But only and again, I just want

896
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: to be consistent here. I talked about the receiver. That's

897
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: not a pressing need right now. But if you want

898
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: to make sure that Rodney Hudson's fresh for the season,

899
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: you want to bring in a guy that obviously is

900
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: looking for a job. Harlowe started five games last season,

901
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 1: one of them at center. Marcus Henry, who is on

902
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: the roster a center played in four games, but that

903
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: was mostly on special teams. So again, you do have options,

904
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 1: but it is is it an option that you're comfortable

905
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: with as far as if Hudson's not available, which you

906
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,879
Speaker 1: hope you're not dealing with. But again he missed time

907
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 1: last season. Yeah, and again nine different line combinations and

908
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: it wasn't good and that's why Kyler was getting hit

909
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: late in the year and obviously has showed him the
