Do you want 17 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: to begin with what we were talking about before we 18 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: hit record, on our hobbies specifically and again, do as 19 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 1: much as we can to not talk about what happened 20 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon at State Farm Stadium. 21 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 3: Or do we just dive right in, Graig?

Did you know that it's 24 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 3: the seventh prime number? Did you know that a seventeen 25 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 3: sided polygon is a Hepta decagon? Do you know that 26 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 3: chlorine has an atomic number of seventeen. Some cicadas have 27 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 3: a seventeen year life cycle. In Italy, the number seventeen 28 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 3: is considered unlucky. Something has to do with Roman numerals, 29 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 3: and if you take the Roman numerals and they get 30 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 3: rearranged it it can imply I am dead, which is 31 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 3: very unlucky. There's also wait a minute. In Ireland it's 32 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 3: considered lucky because it's Saint Patrick's Day, March seventeenth. Craig 33 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 3: Pluto's orbit is inclined at about seventeen degrees. Apollo seventeen 34 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 3: was the last Man moon mission. Greek miss says rainbows 35 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 3: have seventeen colors. You get it right now, I'm going 36 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 3: to add to the fund and cool facts about the 37 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 3: number seventeen or maybe not so much famous or in 38 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 3: this case infamous. The number seventeen is the new franchise 39 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 3: record for penalties. 40 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: And here I thought it was because on this Monday 41 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: it is November seventeenth. I thought that's where you were 42 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: going with all of this, and here you just dive 43 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: right into the seventeen penalties, a franchise record which was 44 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: set way back in nineteen thirty six. No, Paul was 45 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: not there, neither was Darren by the way, Wow, but 46 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: sixteen penalties in week one at Green Bay in nineteen 47 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: thirty six, And as head coach Jonathan Gannon said multiple times, 48 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: not only do you and the Cardinals locker room show, 49 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: but the reporters afterwards, I think we beat ourselves. And 50 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: that is exactly what happened on Sunday. Yes, give the 51 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nuinders all kinds of credit. They picked 52 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: up the win. They beat the Cardinals forty one to 53 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: twenty two to sweep the season series. Cardinals have now 54 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: lost back to back games, four in a row at home, 55 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 1: three and seven overall, and that hole that we thought 56 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: they had dug themselves when it was two and five, 57 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: it's getting deeper and not They're not getting closer to 58 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: the top. They are much further down than they were 59 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: even after a week seven. So look, as I mentioned 60 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: on Cardinal Talk, I understand the frustration. I even get 61 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: the anger, and I'm at a loss as many of 62 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: the bird gang is here on this Monday after Week eleven. 63 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 3: What's astounding is it was seventeen to one. Yes, a 64 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 3: single flag for the forty nine, although they did have 65 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 3: one declined okay, and that was the one that extended 66 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 3: the drive because it was a post play. 67 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: Unsportsmanlike conduct call early in that game. Yes, two, but 68 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: one accepted. 69 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 3: And if there's one team you don't want to do 70 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 3: that against, it's the forty nine ers who are known 71 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 3: for what the details, being buttoned up, taking a bunch 72 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 3: of guys you've never heard of, and they at least 73 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 3: play clean football. That's what Kyle Shanahan does. That's what 74 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 3: he demands. That's what they are known for. That's what 75 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 3: the Cardinals new going into the game. The details and 76 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 3: discipline is going to be there. How many times Jonathan 77 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 3: Gannon say about a Kyle Shanahan offense, You know they 78 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 3: do everything and then some you know, carrying out every play, 79 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 3: fake by the quarterback. All those little things are going 80 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 3: to be executed. They might be missing some big names, 81 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 3: but it's the little things they get done. They're without 82 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 3: Fred Warner and Nick Boson. Yes, they came in with 83 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 3: the lowest pressure rate but they're going to be in 84 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 3: the right spot at the right time, and and so 85 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 3: that's what you have to deal with. So if you're 86 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 3: playing a forty nine Ers team that, by the way, 87 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 3: coming in had a seventy seven percent chance of making 88 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 3: the playoffs, I know all the talk, all the buzz 89 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 3: about the Seahawks and the Rams, and especially the Rams 90 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 3: rightfully so, but you're talking about a Niners team that 91 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 3: is right there in the mix, the Niners team that 92 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 3: came in playing for something. They are in the playoff race. 93 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 3: So you had to match that intensity. You had to 94 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 3: match there. We say that focus and that attention to detail, 95 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 3: that sort of discipline, and based on the box score, 96 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 3: in that one category penalties is self inflicted. I mean, 97 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 3: has there been a better example all year? What we've 98 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 3: been talking about for much of the year, Craig, one 99 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 3: guy taking his one turn to make his one mistake. 100 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: And that's what I was exactly thinking about when this 101 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: morning I went play by play as far as the 102 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: seventeen penalties and broke them down twelve on offense, three 103 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: on defense, three on special teams. But you look at 104 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: the penalties on offense, there were six holding penalties by 105 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: six different players. Wow, the one player taking their one 106 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: moment to make a mistake, and the biggest of which 107 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: would be the fourth and one, the Amario de Miccado 108 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: sixty yard touchdown run that was not And that's again, 109 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: that's when you sit there and say, all right, it's 110 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: those plays that don't get made, and it's the plays 111 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: that should be made and don't because of penalty and 112 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, what was a touchdown? All of 113 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: a sudden, it's not a touchdown. 114 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 3: So when Jacoby Brissett says after the game, there were 115 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 3: plays I'm quoting now, there were plays where we're just 116 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 3: not on the details. And I really don't understand how 117 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 3: we're not on those details. It's us translations, self inflicted. 118 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 3: And then later it comes back to it and compares 119 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 3: it to a stain. Quote, it's like a stain. You 120 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 3: try and put baking soda on it. You're trying and 121 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 3: put club soda on it. You're trying to washer it, 122 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 3: washing it, figure it out, get it out. It's an 123 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 3: apt analogy because that was the case, and how many 124 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 3: of them were pre snap right, I mean a delay 125 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 3: a game, you had two false starts, you had two 126 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 3: illegal shifts. You know, these are all things that happened 127 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 3: before you even snap the ball. So I get it 128 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 3: if you know, in the heat of the battle and 129 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 3: you're you're dueling and it's monoi mono, and you know, 130 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 3: maybe you get a hand up there and okay, and 131 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 3: maybe you grab a little too much jersey or what 132 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 3: have you. But it's the encroachments. It's things like that 133 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 3: that happened before the ball's even snapped. To me, that 134 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 3: that is where you're extra guilty as a competitor because 135 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 3: obviously that detail that Jacoby Brissett refers to and it's citing. 136 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 3: There's not enough attention paid to that. Let me make 137 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 3: a correction. Bam Night sixty yard touchdown run early in 138 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 3: the third quarter, not a Mario demccaddo. He had exited 139 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 3: the game earlier in the first half with a ankle 140 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 3: issue that popped up once again. But still it's a 141 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 3: touchdown that everyone was cheering, great play call by day, passion, 142 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, you look and there's laundry 143 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 3: on the field back at the line of scrimmage, and 144 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 3: yes it's we We get phone calls and we have 145 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 3: discussion points throughout the week Is it on the coaching? 146 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: Is it on the players? And I'll ask you this 147 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: because before fans even had a chance to settle in 148 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: their seats, it was a ninety eight yard kickoff return, 149 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: one offensive play touchdown, sixteen seconds in, you're down seven 150 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 1: to nothing, and at that point it's like, okay, here 151 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: we go again. And now you're down double digits for 152 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: the second straight week, within a five minute span of 153 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: the first quarter. I get it when people say they 154 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: weren't ready to play. See to me, though, that means 155 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: you didn't do anything during the week. And I can't 156 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: put myself in that position because it means the coaches 157 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: didn't do their job, the players weren't working hard. But 158 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: something's not right when you get down by that much 159 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 1: that quickly in the game. And I think a lot 160 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: of it is just you get out executed. I don't know, 161 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: you're on the sideline, Paul. You get a sense, especially 162 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: before the game, how people, how players and coaches feel. 163 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 1: Jonathan Gannon Friday morning busted into the interview raing, we're 164 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: in an interview room as excited as he was in 165 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: any Friday this season. Yeah, facts, and said we're ready 166 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: and then obviously you look, Well, no, you weren't. I 167 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: do think they were ready. It's just again, what is 168 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: the call that you make versus what is the call 169 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 1: the opponent makes? And then best call wins, and then 170 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: sometimes there's mistakes made. So I don't think it was 171 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: a lack of energy or focus at least from my standpoint. 172 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: But again, you're trailing by double digits nine and a 173 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: half minutes in the first quarter back to back weeks. 174 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: That's it makes it so much more difficult for you 175 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: to get back in the ballgame when you are constantly 176 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 1: playing catch up as the Cardinals have in these two games. 177 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 3: Do you know there's a stat for that? Did you 178 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 3: see the I don't know if it's next gen stats 179 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 3: NFL research. Cardinals are the first team since at least 180 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 3: two thousand to allow two touchdowns in the opening six 181 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 3: minutes of back to back games. So yes, it's been 182 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 3: a two week trend. Now, as for the particulars of 183 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 3: this Niners game, the first thing I thought of, and 184 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 3: a Q Shipley brought it up a little bit later 185 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 3: on the broadcast, was when you get so many different 186 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 3: players on special teams, there's a trickle down effect of 187 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 3: injuries on special teams, new guys with new assignments. Yeah, 188 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 3: different guys in different places. So it wasn't like it 189 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 3: was a miraculous you know, Dion Sanders type run where 190 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 3: Wolf missed Deon Sanders once upon a time three times 191 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 3: on the same return. That wasn't it. Just the red 192 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 3: opened and sky Moore nearly he gone as he races 193 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 3: down the far sideline before Keith Trell Clark made a 194 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 3: heck of an effort, had the angle and had the 195 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 3: speed to chase him down. And then the very next 196 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 3: play ends up in the end zone Christian McCaffery, and 197 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 3: coming off the field, you couldn't help but notice it, 198 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 3: and anybody in the stands could have seen the same thing. 199 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 3: Cody Simon pointing at himself, walking up and down the 200 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 3: defensive sideline, pointing at himself, saying, my bad, my bad. 201 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 3: I went back and looked at the play and he 202 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 3: was slow to read Christian McCaffrey. He was sort of 203 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 3: diagnosing and kind of chopping his feet and didn't What 204 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 3: did Buddha Baker say when he met the media, There's 205 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 3: one thing Cody Simon could do better and start number 206 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 3: two as the middle linebacker. Shoot that gap, come downhill, 207 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 3: don't hesitate, trust your instinct, see it, react and on 208 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 3: that first touchdown you know. So once again you had 209 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 3: different guys in different places on the kickoff cover unit. 210 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 3: You had a different middle linebacker, young guy, fourth round, rookie, 211 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 3: second start. So those are things that if you really 212 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 3: drill down a little deeper, go beyond energy and intensity 213 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 3: and physicality and focus, you know you have some guys 214 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 3: who are learning on the job. 215 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 1: That last point about Cody Simon something I brought up 216 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: on the NFL Kickoff Show with Darren and Danny because 217 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: looking at this forty nine ers team and the motions 218 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: and the eye candy for a young player, and we've 219 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: seen this before. Isaiah Simmons struggled mightily against the San 220 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers. 221 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 3: Yep. 222 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: Now I think Cody Simon's in a better position. We 223 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: saw that in Seattle. But again you're thinking, you can't 224 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: think you got to react. But this was Cody's first 225 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: time going up against Kyle Shanahan. Now you learn these 226 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: lessons and apply it to next season, next time you're 227 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: playing the forty nine ers. But yeah, because of injuries, 228 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, guys are playing more than they're 229 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 1: used to and then all of a sudden seeing more action, 230 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: more opportunity for mistakes to be made. 231 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 3: Week three at San Francisco, was there a better player 232 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 3: on the field than mac Wilson Senior in that game? 233 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 3: He had a dozen tackles, He had a TfL, he 234 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 3: had two passes defense. He set the tone destroying Christian 235 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 3: McCaffrey on fourth and goal in the flat. And so 236 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 3: MacWilson Senior was a big deal in that game, and 237 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 3: it was the way he's able to call the game. 238 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 3: Buddabaker talked about the calls within the calls against Kyle 239 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 3: Shanahan because they're always motioning. You have to react to 240 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 3: what you're seeing in real time. So anytime you have 241 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 3: these young players, inexperienced players going against Kyle Shanahan, and 242 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 3: Brock perty does a real good job. You saw it 243 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 3: in that first half. Twice he checked out of place, 244 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 3: He got George Kittle on a Keen Davis gaither. There 245 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 3: are times where he checked plays. He got Christian McCaffrey 246 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 3: out into the flat once again. The nearest defender, as 247 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 3: you tweeted out, I saw that was Cody Simon. If 248 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 3: you watch Cody Simon got caught up in the wash 249 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 3: and couldn't get out. 250 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 1: To the flat. 251 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 3: So advantage forty nine ers when you have the experience 252 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 3: and you have this scheme, and then you have the 253 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 3: supreme talent of a Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle, all 254 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 3: pro players. 255 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 1: And then it's not just young players, but Jalen Thompson 256 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: was trailing George Kittle on the final rock party touchdown. 257 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: Again as far as nearest defender, not saying it's their assignment, 258 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: but who's in the area. And when you've got four 259 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: or five yards of separation, either it's a busted assignments 260 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: or busted coverage. And again that's what happens when you 261 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: are playing the San Francisco forty nine Ers, who, again 262 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: Bergang are just as banged up as the Arizona Cardinals. 263 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: So injuries are not an excuse. You have to find 264 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: a way to get it done, and the Cardinals are not. 265 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: Right now. I even went back and looked at the 266 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: scoring drives for each team. We talked about the penalties 267 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: hurting the Cardinals and forcing them to have nine plus 268 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: play drives. The forty nine Ers had one of their 269 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: eight scoring drives longer than eight plays, and it was 270 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: a nine play drive. 271 00:14:58,920 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 3: Wow. 272 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: Now a lot of that because of their average starting 273 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: field position was almost midfield. It was their own forty seven. 274 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: You talk about the kickoff returns, the ninety eight yards, 275 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: the forty two yards, the on side kick attempts that failed. 276 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: And I liked what Jonathan Gannon said postgame because some 277 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: of this is on him because he's trying to get 278 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: back into the ballgame. So it's okay sometimes that score 279 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: gets lopsided, but that's by design because you need to 280 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: call plays, you need to make decisions to help you 281 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: get back into the ballgame. 282 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 3: I e. 283 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: On sidekick, Now you don't recover it. Now all of 284 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: a sudden, you set up the other team close to 285 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: midfield and make it easier for them to score, and 286 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: then the Cardinals defense couldn't get off the field. So 287 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: I get that line of thinking. Ye, At the same time, 288 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers had it much easier because there 289 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,479 Speaker 1: were fewer plays. And then obviously going back to the penalties, 290 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: there were hardly any penalties, just the two one accepted. 291 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 3: So think about winning behavior. What Jonathan Gannon talks about, 292 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 3: think about stats at tip decide a game. You lost 293 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 3: a turnover battle, three nothing penalties seventeen to one. You 294 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:11,359 Speaker 3: lost that the average starting field position was near midfield. 295 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 3: That's miraculous. This special teams, I know, driving home, Rob 296 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 3: Frederickson cited some sort of stat and I don't dispute 297 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 3: this whatsoever. If the opposing team has a special team's touchdown, 298 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 3: it's incredibly difficult to win. And they essentially had that, 299 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 3: taking it all the way down to the one yard 300 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 3: line on the opening kickoff of the game. So there's 301 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 3: all those elements that are against you, and a number 302 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 3: of those, once again are self inflicted. So you have 303 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 3: to figure out, especially when you're depleted as the Cardinals 304 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 3: are in terms of the injuries. The Niners formula was 305 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 3: to be on the details, to be disciplined, not beat yourself. 306 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 3: And so if the Cardinals just could have been that 307 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 3: had a similar type of game with the same players 308 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 3: out there, just play a clean game, then you got 309 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 3: to figure it's been a much closer game because that 310 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 3: Bam Knight's sixty yarder as lopside as the final score 311 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 3: is as lopside as some of the elements in the 312 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 3: box score are. Bam Knight If that play stands, it 313 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 3: becomes a one score game early third quarter. So it's 314 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 3: just further illustration as to how beating yourself is going 315 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 3: to get you beat in the NFL. That you're not 316 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 3: playing the Dallas Cowboys. You know each and every week, right, 317 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 3: Cowboys were masterful of beating themselves. On that Monday night, 318 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 3: you played with energy and intensity, and you played with 319 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 3: an edge in that game, and you played well and 320 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 3: you won that game going away. But once again, there 321 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 3: are very few opponents you're gonna go against the NFL 322 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 3: who you can just bank on them beating themselves. The 323 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 3: Cowboys are one of those teams. Seahawks and Niners and 324 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 3: the Rams coming up two more times your division games. 325 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 3: That's not gonna happen, not with those three head coaches. 326 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: Cardinals go into the locker room at halftime trailing twenty 327 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: five to ten, and the final words from day of 328 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,439 Speaker 1: Pash before going to time out. The Cardinals more penalties 329 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: than points in the first half, eleven to ten. But 330 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: you come out of the locker room and you have 331 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:11,239 Speaker 1: a scoring drive because you overcome an illegal shift. And 332 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: then there's that fourth and one, but Farrell Brown gets 333 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 1: called for holding and all of a sudden, that sixty 334 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: yard Bam Night touchdown run is wiped off the board, 335 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: and to your point, Paul, right there, twenty five to 336 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: seventeen at least, and now you've got a different ballgame 337 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: because the Cardinals defense forced a field goal, and then 338 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: there was the second interception thrown by Jacoby Brissett. And 339 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: then there's the Elijah Higgins fumble at the goal line. 340 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 1: I mean that was another it's more points taken off 341 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: the board because you get separated from the ball short 342 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: of the line of scrimmage. Now at that point it's 343 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: thirty five to ten. You score there, thirty five seventeen, 344 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: but you still have a lot of time left to 345 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: go in the ball game. But we go back to 346 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,479 Speaker 1: what Jonathan Gannon said, I think we beat ourselves and 347 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 1: the Cardinals did just that. You can't. This team is 348 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: making it too difficult on themselves to overcome their own mistakes, 349 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: let alone what the opponent is doing to them and 350 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: forcing them to adjust and adapt. So look, again, I 351 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: don't know what the answer is here right now, but 352 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: it's certainly something that needs to be discussed, and it 353 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 1: is being discussed because we did see a little change, 354 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: and that was the fact that we saw Isaiah Adams 355 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: by my account, play four different series at right guard. 356 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a product of performance or 357 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 1: again a younger player versus a veteran player, but there 358 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 1: are subtle changes being made as far as personnel is concerned. 359 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 3: And that's the answer job security. If you're not in 360 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 3: a playoff race, the tried and true manner and professional 361 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 3: athletics to motivate and lock someone in mentally and make 362 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 3: sure the focus and attention to detail and discipline is 363 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 3: there is usually job security. So Isaiah Adams, I get it. 364 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 3: You're now out of the playoff race. You want to 365 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 3: make sure a second year player gets that, gets the reps, 366 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 3: gets a chance to develop. Do you really want a 367 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 3: second half of the season to go by? And he's 368 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 3: on the sideline, So I get it, he's gonna get 369 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 3: those reps and rightfully so. And hopefully he's made some 370 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 3: adjustments and made some improvements during practice where he's earned 371 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 3: that role. But if they come out against Jacksonville and 372 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 3: there are a number of other changes, now, look, you're 373 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 3: limited just based on injuries, and the depth chart is 374 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 3: already depleted, and I get it. But if there are 375 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 3: areas where Jonathan Gannon and Maniaci work can make a 376 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 3: statement and you can hold someone accountable. If you go 377 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 3: back to year number one, twenty twenty three, there were 378 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 3: pivot points in that season where certain guys were deemed 379 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 3: expendable based on performance, whether it was Marco Wilson or 380 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 3: my j Sanders, or there were just different guys who 381 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 3: you know what, It sends a message to a locker room. 382 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 3: Now there will be blood, I don't know. But once again, 383 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 3: if you want to get the attention of the locker room, 384 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 3: it's usually with job security, and there are a number 385 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 3: of different areas where changes might be coming, especially as 386 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 3: skys start to get healthy, then guess what. Younger guys 387 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 3: will probably be given a chance to prove themselves and 388 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 3: get those valuable reps. 389 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: Well, we saw Josh Fryar finish the game at right 390 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: tackle because Calvin Beegum exited with a groin injury. So 391 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: now what happens moving forward at right tackle with Joha 392 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: Williams dealing with an injury as well. So again this 393 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: thing's to kind of pay attention to moving forward here 394 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: as we had closer to week twelve, as the Cardinals 395 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: host the Jaguars. Going back to how we began this 396 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: talking about the franchise record seventeen penalties, there's were some 397 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: other milestones met, not only NFL records, but team records 398 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: and personal best And I did not know this until 399 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: the game was finishing and all of a sudden, national 400 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 1: pundits are tweeting about the Arizona Cardinals. But Jacoby Brissett 401 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: and NFL record forty seven completions. The previous NFL mark 402 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: was forty five. Jared Goff Andrew BLEDSOE, Now, look, you're 403 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: throwing more because the run game wasn't there and you're 404 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: trying to get back in the ballgames. So I get it. 405 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: Forty seven completions. I mean, that's just it's mind boggling. 406 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: Then you look at the attempts, fifty seven attempts. But 407 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 1: I like what Jacoby said postgame. He would settle for 408 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,679 Speaker 1: one attempts or three passing yards for a win. He 409 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: doesn't care about any of that. He's been in the 410 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: league way too long to worry about individual marks. He 411 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: wants a w but forty seven completions is pretty remarkable, 412 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 1: and for him, a career high four hundred and fifty 413 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: two passing yards. 414 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 3: But to be an NFL record, I mean, forty seven 415 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 3: completions is mind blowing, there's no doubt. But you're telling 416 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 3: me that's the most in regular season history. There hasn't 417 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 3: been some crazy game where you know, someone went off 418 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 3: and it was a fifty to forty seven final score 419 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 3: at some point, and so that was that was eye opening. 420 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 3: But then you got to realize NFL research put out 421 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 3: he's the first player ever to attempt fifty plus passes 422 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 3: with an eighty plus completion percentage, So he was completing 423 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 3: passes at a really high clip. Now I'm sure they've 424 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 3: been and there have been more pass attempts in a 425 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 3: game than fifty seven, but to complete him at such 426 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 3: a clip and to do it in a known pass 427 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 3: so often and still be effective. To see all the 428 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,199 Speaker 3: contest he catches at Trey McBride and Michael Wilson made, 429 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 3: it's really testimony to those guys. And then Greg Dorch 430 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 3: got in on the action, and you know he was effective. 431 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 3: So Brissett, especially under duress, and he gets a lot 432 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 3: of respect on that sideline for hanging in to last minute, 433 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 3: taking a beating, trying to make things happen. Yes, he 434 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 3: had the two picks. I think it's easy to surmise 435 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 3: the first pick was probably a blown round. In fact, 436 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 3: Michael Wilson kind of hinted as much in our post 437 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 3: game that that wasn't necessarily on Jacoby Brissett the first interception, 438 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 3: that an incorrect route might have been run. But it 439 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 3: was a pleasure, and I told Michael this after our 440 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 3: radio interview. It was a pleasure to watch him and 441 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 3: just the performance that he put out on that field 442 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 3: in so many different ways, and it was interesting. Craig. 443 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 3: You might have heard the interview with Michael Wilson two 444 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 3: weeks ago in the Big Red Rage. He said, you 445 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 3: know what, I've had games with a single catch, Like 446 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 3: Week two against Carolina. I thought was one of my 447 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 3: best games ever based on the film I put out there. 448 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 3: I was winning my routes, beating my man, my blocking, 449 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,199 Speaker 3: everything else that a receiver is asked to do by 450 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 3: Jonathanana and Drew Petsing. You know, I checked all the boxes. 451 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 3: I was really proud of my game Week two against Carolina, 452 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 3: he had like one catch, so it was gratifying a 453 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 3: to see him be rewarded with targets, show what he 454 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 3: can do with contested catches. Yards after catch, you know 455 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 3: everyone knows he's getting the ball, he's still making the grab. 456 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 3: Just the ability to prove the ability to prove heck, 457 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 3: he's not just wide receiver too. I mean he looked 458 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 3: like a legit wide receiver won during that game. 459 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 1: Then there was a lot conversation leading to Sunday's game 460 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: about what do you do when you don't have Marvin Harrison, 461 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 1: you don't have Za Jones. Guys are gonna step up? 462 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: Can Michael Wilson handle wide receiver one? I think the 463 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: answer is an emphatic yes. He has the talents. His 464 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: football IQ is off the charts, and he delivered. He 465 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 1: was given an opportunity and he answered the bell. And 466 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 1: his postgame conversation with you on the Cardinals Locker Room Show, 467 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: by the way, very well done. It's the only place 468 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: you will hear Michael Wilson postgame was that conversation on 469 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: the Cardinals Locker Room Show. So look forward on Azycardinals 470 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: dot com or wherever you get podcasts. But not only 471 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: was Michael I think reflective on the game itself and 472 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: understanding where the Cardinals hurt themselves beat themselves, but also 473 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 1: to hear him reflect on a personal accomplishment, a career 474 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: day for him with fifteen catches for one hundred and 475 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: eighty five receiving yards, the most receiving yards by any 476 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: player this season, by the way. But he had in 477 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: that moment immediately after the game, you're what ten minutes 478 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: or less away from that less? Yeah, clock going to 479 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: triple triple zeros, and all of a sudden, you asked, 480 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: I think what we all want to know is okay, 481 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: because many players get that question, asked, how do you 482 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: feel to put up those kind of numbers? But you lost? 483 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: You know what I just care about. I want to win. 484 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna worry about those numbers. Michael admitted, I'm 485 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: gonna enjoy this. I'm gonna celebrate this moment. This was validating, 486 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: and I think it was very telling, especially in the moment, 487 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: to hear that from Michael Wilson with you Paul again 488 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: on the Cardinals Locker Room Show, because I think he's 489 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: earned that to be able to celebrate and enjoy it 490 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 1: and then show everyone, including to himself, Yeah, I am 491 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: a wide receiver in this league, maybe a number one 492 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: wide receiver or if not one A, one B. Because 493 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: now you can sit there and look ahead. Well, if 494 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: Michael can do that, you pair him up with Marvin. Now, 495 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you do have wideouts on either 496 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: side of the field that could help you move the 497 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: ball up and down. Again, it's about opportunity. And Jacoby 498 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 1: Brissett on that first thirty four yard completion in which 499 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: he was interfered with, again there's that decline penalty. Yep, 500 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: he was interfered with there go and he still made 501 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: the catch. And then there was another thirty four yard catch, 502 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: and then there was the Larry Fitzgerald stretch snagged the 503 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: ball out of the air reception. So Michael Wilson showed 504 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 1: a lot on Sunday. And if that's the only bright 505 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: spot from Sunday, that's fine, because that, to me showed 506 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: you can move forward knowing that publicly, now everyone outside 507 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: of this building knows that you have a true wide 508 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: receiver who can get open, catch the ball, and more importantly, 509 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 1: not shy away from contact in the run game. He 510 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: can block and get spring other guys open. 511 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:06,640 Speaker 3: Year three is a critical year for every NFL player financially. 512 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 3: End of this season he's eligible for a contract extension, correct, 513 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 3: I believe so, yes, because if you can do that now, 514 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 3: I would call him into the office today and see 515 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 3: if you could maybe get something in the works to 516 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 3: keep him in an Arizona Cardinals uniform. Not only the performance, 517 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 3: but the willingness to block do anything and everything for 518 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 3: the team. He's an unbelievable interview. He won the Media 519 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 3: Good Guy Award last year. Insightful, thoughtful, Stanford guy who 520 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 3: thinks about his answers. That's really his only negative, right 521 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 3: for you, Paul is the Alma manter. Unless you're getting 522 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 3: a scholarship. If you're getting a scholarship to Stanford, you 523 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 3: don't have to pay for it, then I guess it's 524 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 3: permissible and understandable and reasonable. But when you talk about 525 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 3: Michael Wilson, and you know, we asked him, okay, well, 526 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 3: first off, he started with, I haven't had a game 527 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 3: like that since high school. So I just, you know, 528 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 3: incredibly honest, because you know is in his career at 529 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 3: Stanford was plagued by injury. Then we asked him if 530 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 3: he actually proved anything to himself, and you tweeted this 531 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 3: out as well, and he thought about it. And he said, tbh, 532 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 3: as a kid, say, to be honest, yeah, I did 533 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 3: prove something. I did validate something. My ability, everything I've 534 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 3: been working towards, and you can only see it in practice. 535 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 3: So many times in Kobe Brissett, he cited that we 536 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 3: know what he can do based on what he's done 537 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 3: in practice, but to do it in a game, do 538 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 3: it for everyone to see. And then to him to 539 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 3: be so complimentary of Brissette quote, I can't say enough 540 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 3: good things about Jacoby. He's so much fun to play with. 541 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 3: And it is amazing how much the receivers if they 542 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 3: if they know that the quarterback knows they have the 543 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 3: ability to get open and they will get a target. 544 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 3: He will hang in the pocket, he will get the 545 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 3: ball downfield to the second and third levels. It is 546 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 3: amazing to watch those receivers run their routes to the fullest, 547 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 3: not give up on a play. And so that's why 548 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 3: you're seeing now the Cardinals offense can just at the 549 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 3: run game, just become a balanced offense, not get behind 550 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 3: by multiple scores. So you have to abandon the run. 551 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 3: You know, that's you know now that you've opened up, 552 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 3: you know these these sort of receivers, and you have 553 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 3: the quarterback who has that ability to go through his 554 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 3: progressions and find these guys and be accurate with an 555 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 3: eighty plus send completion rate. You know, to me, that's 556 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 3: that's where this offense elevates over the last two months 557 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:23,959 Speaker 3: of the season. 558 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: As well as that game was, as far as Jacoby 559 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: Brissett throwing the football, Cardinals finished with a season low 560 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: thirty six rushing yards. Now again you're trailing, so you're 561 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: gonna throw the ball more, but you're down James Connor, 562 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: You're down Trey Benson. Omari gets hurt. Now it's Bam Knight, 563 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:45,959 Speaker 1: it's Michael Carter and maybe maybe Trey Benson has his 564 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: twenty one day practice window opened up this week. It's 565 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: been well passed the four week minimum. As far as 566 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: being on IR, that certainly would help. But then just 567 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 1: rewatching that game when I got home last night and 568 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: skipping to certain points of the game, and then all 569 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: of a sudden, oh, they're talking about James Connor. And 570 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: then you see the graphic of all the injured players 571 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: on offense, and there's more talk about James Connor and 572 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: what that loss has meant, not only on the field, 573 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: but off the field, the mentality that that offense has 574 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: with James Connor running the football. You lost that and 575 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: it's difficult, darn near impossible to replace. And this run 576 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: game for whatever reason, just has not been able to 577 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: get on track all season, even with a healthy James 578 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: Connor in Week one. So that's one of the big eye, 579 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: big eyebrow raising moments or parts of this season is 580 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: the lack of a run game, especially how while they 581 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: did the first two years with Jonathan Gan and Andrew Petson. 582 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, and honestly, if you gave me, you gave me 583 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 3: the magic football. One to give me one answer to 584 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 3: one question that would be it is what does undermine 585 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 3: the run game this year? Is it simply the trenches? 586 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 3: Does it go beyond the line of scrimmage? Does it 587 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 3: go to the scheme? Has a change? Clayton Adams has 588 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 3: gone the run game coordinators, So what has that meant? 589 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 3: Have you not received the same sort of chemistry upfront? 590 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 3: With all the moving parts and the injuries? You know, 591 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 3: James Connor was top three in the NFL and mistackles 592 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 3: force I e. Broken tackles? Was was he really the 593 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 3: formula to the run game? Because he would not go 594 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 3: down on first contact. And he's one of those elite 595 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 3: running backs in that category. Christian McCaffrey is in that, 596 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor is in that. You know, Derek Henry, James Connor, 597 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 3: you can count him in one hand. So has he 598 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 3: been that valuable and hence you've missed him that much 599 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 3: to see the run game numbers decline to that degree? 600 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 3: So what has it been? I don't know. You know, 601 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 3: we all watch this team very closely. I just know 602 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 3: in the line of scrimmage in the last couple of 603 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 3: weeks in particular, too often the opposing D line is 604 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 3: played on your side of the ball, especially in Seattle 605 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 3: and to a certain degree the forty nine Ers, but 606 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 3: the Niners, even in Week three, going into that game, 607 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 3: talking to a lot of guys, look, the Niners are 608 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 3: not known for the interior D line. Even when they 609 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 3: had mikeel Williams and they had Nick Bosa, they're still 610 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 3: not known for the interior D line. So you would 611 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 3: think you would think the Cardinals would be able to 612 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 3: take advantage of that and establish the ground game. But 613 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 3: once again you're getting behind, and then when you get 614 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 3: behind the sticks as well, there's another two big reasons 615 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 3: why you have to abandon the run the scoreboard. And 616 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 3: then when it's second and more than ten and you're 617 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 3: behind the chains, good luck. 618 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, first and ten becomes a first and fifteen or 619 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 1: a second and seven becomes a second and twelve because 620 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: of the penalty, and you're making it more difficult on yourself. 621 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: The other offensive player of notes, and again we kinda 622 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's forget about him, but maybe 623 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,959 Speaker 1: take for granted what Trey McBride continues to do this season. 624 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: His second straight one hundred receiving yard game, twelfth straight 625 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: game with at least five receptions, that's the third longest 626 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 1: streak by a tight end in league history, and another 627 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 1: touchdown catch by the way, which is something that I 628 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 1: know he relishes to get into the end zone. But 629 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: if you take anything away from Sunday offensively, it's you 630 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,840 Speaker 1: figured out one. Maybe you did unlock something with Michael Wilson, 631 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: and certainly Trey McBride is an all pro tight end 632 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: in my opinion. So if that run game is not working, Paul, Okay, 633 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,800 Speaker 1: what does Jonathan Gannon's always say, Okay, you got to adapt. Well, 634 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: you might see more games in which Jacoby Brissett attempts 635 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: forty plus passes just to get the ball up and down. 636 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: Unless you get off to a big lead like they 637 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: did against the Cowboys, then you can run the ball 638 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 1: in the second half and milk the clock. But until 639 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,240 Speaker 1: you get to that point, this is a pass first offense, 640 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: which is a complete one to eighty from where we 641 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: thought we were going to be begin this season. 642 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 3: And your good news for Trey McBride. I saw this 643 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 3: one stat and the Jags there next up on the 644 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 3: schedule going into the Chargers game, which really wasn't much 645 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 3: of a game. The Chargers showed up apparently allegedly they 646 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 3: went cross country. They're going into the by They had 647 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 3: eight first downs and I think one hundred and thirty 648 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 3: total yards of offense. I mean, it was staggering just 649 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 3: how a nept the Chargers were. But Trey McBride is 650 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,919 Speaker 3: going to be going against the Jags defense and going 651 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,359 Speaker 3: into that game had allowed thirty nine catches for four 652 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 3: hundred and sixty seven yards and seven touchdowns to tight 653 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 3: ends in their previous six games, So the Jags struggle 654 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 3: at covering the tight end. So even so, the beating 655 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:42,439 Speaker 3: that Trey McBride is taking. I mean, he you got 656 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,800 Speaker 3: to put him right there next to Kalayis and Calvin Beacham, 657 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 3: give him a veteran rest day. I mean just just 658 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 3: the pounding that he is taking. And he comes off 659 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 3: to the sideline and megaprops to Trey McBride just for 660 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 3: the compete, just for the physicality, and yeah, he was 661 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 3: hot about the what was it, unsportsman like? 662 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, the see because I watched it different, I 663 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: mean listening to the patch and he thinks it maybe 664 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: it was the throat slit because if you look from 665 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 1: what the official was, he was kind of behind and 666 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: he just sees the motion. But then later the official says, yeah, 667 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,320 Speaker 1: but it was under your nose. So okay. 668 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 3: So Brad Gas Channel ten photographer videographer Extraordinariy had a 669 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 3: gray I saw last night on their sports cast and 670 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 3: they had a piece of video where he was right, 671 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 3: I mean, Trey was looking right at the camera and 672 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 3: he did give the whole nose wipe. Thing wasn't a 673 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,839 Speaker 3: throat slash, it wasn't that low, but he did go 674 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 3: horizontal left or right across the face mask area. So 675 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 3: maybe any slashing move whatsoever, I mean gestures because I 676 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 3: was on the broadcaster, I think it was Darryl moose 677 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 3: Johnson was talking about the league is looking to get 678 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 3: rid of that. Yes, and and and we had researched 679 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,839 Speaker 3: it in the commercial break or maybe on the fly. 680 00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,839 Speaker 3: And yes, there were some sort of connotations to that 681 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 3: the NFL wanted to eliminate. And so that was an 682 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 3: offseason rule change. I know, in Trey's opinion, what we 683 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 3: can't have fun out here. You know, we can't compete, 684 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 3: we can't go back and forth. That's how intense he 685 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 3: is on game day. And so he learned the hard way. 686 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,360 Speaker 3: Cardinals learned the hard way. And guess what on Tuesday, 687 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 3: when the fines are released, he's gonna learn again financially, 688 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 3: probably there'll be a fine attach to that. Unfortunately, Well, we. 689 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: Can have fun here on Cardinals Cover two, which leads 690 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 1: me to the Angry Bird Award for this week. I 691 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,920 Speaker 1: think there are plenty of candidates, even though yes the 692 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 1: score was lopsided. But again, as you like to say, Paul, 693 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 1: it's not for any one particular player. It could be 694 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 1: a particular play as well. 695 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 3: The most taalacious player or maybe play in the game, 696 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 3: and I think we would all agree Michael Wilson. You 697 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,720 Speaker 3: can definitely make a case or Trey McBride, But Michael Wilson, 698 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,359 Speaker 3: go out there, eighteen targets, fifteen catches, a buck eighty five. 699 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,240 Speaker 3: You said the most receiving yards that's by a Cardinal. 700 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 1: Or by any player this season. I saw that ESPN's 701 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,799 Speaker 1: field Yates tweeted that out at the end of the game. 702 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,399 Speaker 3: Really, justin Jefferson hasn't ed a two hundred yard game. 703 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,360 Speaker 3: Jamar Chase hasn't ed a two hundred yard game this season, 704 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 3: not yet, Okay, So that just reinforces it. That's a 705 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 3: double ding that the Angry Bird Award is most definitely 706 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 3: going to the guy who said he hasn't a game 707 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 3: like that since high school. That would be Michael Wilson. 708 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:30,320 Speaker 3: And then just as thoughtful and insightful and intelligent answers. 709 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,880 Speaker 3: His answers are always better than our questions. Put it 710 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 3: that way in the postgame radio interview. So for all 711 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,840 Speaker 3: the above, yeah, it's pretty much a slam dunk Angry 712 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,400 Speaker 3: Bird Award winner Michael Wilson. 713 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,280 Speaker 1: Again, if you missed it, Bergang go to the Cardinals 714 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 1: locker room show on Easycardinals dot Com or podcast wherever 715 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,840 Speaker 1: you get your podcast, because one it's the only place 716 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 1: you'll hear from Michael Wilson post game. He did not 717 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:56,359 Speaker 1: speak afterwards in the locker room because Jonathan Gannon took 718 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 1: so long, and then Jacob Brissett addressed the media. So, Paul, 719 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 1: you were the only one to slow down Michael Wilson 720 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoon, So props to you. I will. I 721 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: don't know if that's really a past defense, but maybe 722 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:09,840 Speaker 1: he just got in the way a little bit. 723 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say I violated my own rule 724 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 3: on the sideline, just don't get in anyone's way. I 725 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,400 Speaker 3: got in Greg Dorsch's way. Unfortunately at one moment I 726 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 3: was looking right and he came from the left and 727 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,359 Speaker 3: so he actually saved me. And uh and sort of say, 728 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 3: you know, he can make dudes missing a phone booth. 729 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,879 Speaker 3: So even though I got in his way, he got 730 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,359 Speaker 3: by me. And by the way, winning out, get out 731 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,839 Speaker 3: is my other saying. So if the play's coming your way, like, uh, 732 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 3: you know, crack toss towards the Cardinals sideline. Oh boy, Craig, 733 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,239 Speaker 3: you want to see a back pedal. I'll show you 734 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,279 Speaker 3: a backpedal when the cracked toss is coming to the 735 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 3: Cardinals sideline and I'll just steamroll a Cardinals team doctor 736 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:46,319 Speaker 3: to get out of the way. Put it that way, 737 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,880 Speaker 3: good advice. How about we get out here?
