13
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 2: And like any head coach this time of year, you're

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: looking out there and you're looking at your roster saying, okay,

15
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 2: that guy's regular season ready. Guys like oh, I don't know,

16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: Chad Ryland, who made it look really easy as a

17
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: Cardinals kicker, including a fifty yarder that he sent right

18
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: down Main Street. You know, Trey Benson stuck about him

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: a little bit. You like the running back room. What

20
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 2: specifically stood about stood out about Trey Benson because he's

21
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: a totally different player in year two, if not physically

22
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 2: putting on about ten pounds and feeling more explosive. That's

23
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: what he tells us. Just the confidence with which he

24
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: meets the media, Just the confidence with which he says

25
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: he doesn't quite feel as fidgety or nervous. It doesn't

26
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: have that anxiety. You know, no longer is the case

27
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: you don't know what you don't know, because boom, here

28
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: you are in year two and as such a young

29
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 2: guy who just turned twenty three. I mean, the future

30
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: is bright for Trey Benson.

31
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no question about it. He looked great today

32
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 4: and I think he gives you a little bit quicker

33
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 4: twitch than James Connor, but he can still bang you.

34
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 4: I mean, he still comes downhill and thumbshit a little bit.

35
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 4: And I really liked what I saw out of him.

36
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 4: And I don't know what it is, but there is

37
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 4: something to it and something to be said about it.

38
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 4: Whenever things start to slow down and things start to

39
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 4: click for players, and especially young players, and I don't

40
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 4: know what causes that moment, but I will say, more

41
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 4: prepared you are, the more the game slows down for you.

42
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 4: And so sometimes it's just as simple as just going

43
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 4: through a year going through if hearing the terminology, hearing

44
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 4: going through a year of the preparation and the practices

45
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 4: and all the different things. And you know, he goes

46
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 4: through all that. Now he gets a second off season

47
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 4: on the belt. He feels like a vet. He feels

48
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 4: a little bit better, and that might be the thing.

49
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: Let's go down to the locker room as advertised, Darren

50
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: Hall joins us. Darren, congratulations on the win, Congratulations on

51
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 2: the interception. Take us through the takeaway. Just from snap

52
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: to your pick? What did you see it? Give us

53
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: your play by.

54
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 5: Play, Thank you, But just seeing the ball in some

55
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 5: Mash Division coverage. So my coverage went away, so I

56
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 5: get my eyes back to the quarter back and I

57
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 5: seen something coming across the fields. I was able to

58
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 5: reach back and make a pay on the ball. But

59
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 5: just right time, right place, eyes in the right place,

60
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 5: and he was able to make a play to help us.

61
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 3: You know at that time, what's.

62
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: Your confidence level like at this point, We've seen you

63
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 2: routinely make plays, have picks against the first team in camp.

64
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: How are you mentally these days?

65
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 5: I think I'm in a very good mental place. I

66
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 5: just let the chips fall and play my best ball

67
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 5: every single day, put my best foot forward and try

68
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 5: to do everything I can to continue to grow inside

69
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 5: the defense, grow as a player constantly and don't make

70
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 5: the same as taste as before. So if I continue

71
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 5: to do that, I feel like I'm in a good place,

72
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 5: very confident in my skill set, my style of play.

73
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 5: So just continue to work every single day, try to

74
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 5: get better.

75
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: You made this roster a year ago. For fans who

76
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: aren't familiar with you as a player, what do you

77
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: hope they seeing you? What do you hope the coach

78
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: is seeing you as a player?

79
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 5: Just grit and smarts, man, how much I love the game,

80
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 5: How intensive I am to the game, versatility, being able

81
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 5: to play multiple positions, and just never giving up on anything.

82
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 5: I think ever since I was a kid, it was

83
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 5: something that it was big that was instilled in me.

84
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 5: Just always playing hard, playing physical and playing fast and

85
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 5: not letting anything.

86
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 3: Just overtake what matters in every single play.

87
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 5: So just going out there doing everything I can to

88
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 5: continue to succeed.

89
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 3: And then the chips fallward they fall.

90
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: How we're excited are you to play behind this defensive line?

91
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: Concerned what the Cardinals added in the off season, and

92
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: we know nobody loves the defensive front like a defensive back, right,

93
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: Not for sure.

94
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 5: They have some really good additions coming in this offseason

95
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 5: in the front seven, so hopefully get have the quarterback,

96
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 5: and you know when after the quarterback, a lot of

97
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 5: balls are in the air, so that's equals more picks.

98
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 5: So that's just opportunity for us to continue to get

99
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 5: the ball back to the offense, more opportunities for them

100
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 5: to go score and force to win more games.

101
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 3: So it's exciting.

102
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 5: They did a very good job this offseason just trying

103
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 5: to bring more pieces in and continue to help this

104
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 5: team win.

105
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 2: Darren Hall our guests Cardinals defensive back and I say

106
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 2: defensive back because I mean you're used quite a bit

107
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: in different capacities. Are you not safety slot? I mean

108
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: I've seen you in different spots at different times.

109
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, not for sure. Playing I think just the versatility

110
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 5: helps me out inside this defense. And I understand the

111
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 5: ins and outs now being in my second year of

112
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 5: the defense, so it helps a lot.

113
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 3: You know.

114
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 5: I think just playing defensive back, my whole entire life

115
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 5: is having my back towards the end zone has always

116
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 5: been something I've been doing rather to be corner safety Nickels.

117
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 5: So I feel comfortable playing with my back towards the

118
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 5: end zone and making plays.

119
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 2: So, you know, Booter had a comment where he said,

120
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 2: I haven't played with a defensive line like this in

121
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 2: a while, and he sort of let a trail off.

122
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: I mean, if all of a sudden, Nick Ross can

123
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: rush for stop the run with four, what does that

124
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: do for this defense? To elevate the entire unit?

125
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 3: Now, it does a whole life.

126
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 5: If you're able to get pressure with four in any

127
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 5: defense of any scheme, you can sit back in coverage

128
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 5: with seven, it's only gonna help you get more and

129
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 5: more players on the ball. You can stop the run

130
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 5: as well. You can mix a lot of things, mix

131
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 5: a lot of looks. So this front seven or this

132
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 5: front four, I would say, if you're able to rush

133
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 5: forward with this defense and the defensive backs and the

134
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 5: linebacks that we have, it would be amazing.

135
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: You almost got a second pick take us through through

136
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 2: your PBu.

137
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, almost hurts, But.

138
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 5: Just seeing we had we were in a vision coverage,

139
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 5: you know, so I was able to set up and

140
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 5: make a break on the ball off the quarterback, and

141
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 5: it was a little bit more outside think I could

142
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 5: run off with it, but I think I gotta I

143
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 5: gotta make that play. That's just that's the difference between

144
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 5: a great play and a good play. And I want

145
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 5: to be a great player.

146
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: So you've been as you wrap it up here with

147
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 2: Darren All, you've been around Mari de Murcattle long enough,

148
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 2: and I've heard guys say he has deceptive speed. I mean,

149
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: if you look at his two three year career now,

150
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: I mean he has a lot of chunk runs, he

151
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 2: has big plays. He had a forty three yard catch

152
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: and run for a touchdown. What is it about a

153
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: Mari demercaddo that could make him a tough tackle?

154
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, Mario, that's that California in the man. I love California.

155
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 5: But uh, he's very deceptive. You don't really think that

156
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 5: someone like he's built a little bit more muscular. But

157
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 5: he has very, very very good speed anytime he's in

158
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 5: an open field, as you can remember to play from

159
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 5: Chicago last year going into the two minute, but we're

160
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 5: looking just to get at least an extra three. But

161
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 5: he was able to break a long run and score

162
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 5: a touch down. So you know, he's a very fast player,

163
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 5: very good player, and he's he has good envision, so

164
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 5: he's a good player for us.

165
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 2: Well, Darren, we appreciate the time the insight, make plays,

166
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: make the team right. You're off to a pretty dang

167
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: good start, so we appreciate it.

168
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 3: Congressions, I appreciate you too.

169
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: Okay, there you go, Darren holl on the Aarzona Cardinals

170
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: radio network, and it is intriguing. I mean, Cardinals are

171
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: really deep in the secondary, the safety room, the corner room,

172
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,239
Speaker 2: and there's you know, look as John Again and Mantias

173
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: Sports say, AQ, we're not gonna let good football players

174
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: hit the street. So you know, if they're gonna take

175
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: an extra spot on defense away from oh I don't know,

176
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: the receiver room, or they're only gonna keep three tight

177
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: ends or maybe one fewer offensive linemen. I know that's

178
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: a little risky. I get it. But you know, if

179
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: you have positional flexibility in there to a great degree,

180
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 2: I just think you are so much loaded, more loaded

181
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: on the defensive side of the ball. This year, there

182
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 2: are gonna be some really tough decisions. Them might mean

183
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 2: subtracting a player or two from the offense subside. Yeah,

184
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: there's no question about that.

185
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 4: And I think the one thing you have to look

186
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 4: at and whenever we talk about this, We've talked about

187
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 4: it quite a lot today, special teams, Right. I think

188
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 4: when you look at this, first of all, you know,

189
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 4: your top five dbs like they're gonna find ways onto

190
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 4: the field, right, But then those other guys out, how

191
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 4: do they get on the field. We gotta be able

192
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 4: to play special teams. It's the same thing for wide receiver.

193
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 4: That's the difference between fifty three and fifty four, me

194
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 4: and fifty four. Now you're out, you're out of the building,

195
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 4: or you're on a practice squad or you know, And

196
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 4: that's the biggest difference. And I think a lot of

197
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 4: these young guys they understand that. But that's gonna be

198
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 4: the decision making process. And listen, we can say what

199
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 4: we want. There's a solid chance when we go into

200
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 4: this thing, we okay, we say ninety guys truly have

201
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 4: a chance. I've been in it. I've seen it all

202
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 4: far too many times. There's a small amount of people

203
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 4: for a small amount of jobs on the back end

204
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 4: of this roster, right, and so you got thirty guys

205
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 4: might be fighting for five or six spots. That's the

206
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 4: reality of this thing, especially with how many guys are

207
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 4: returning on the offense side of the ball and the

208
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 4: moves they've made on the defensive side of the ball,

209
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 4: so you know, they're very deep in certain area and

210
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 4: you may end up losing some guys because maybe they

211
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 4: don't make the players or but they don't do the

212
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 4: things that they're asked to do on special teams.

213
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 2: Speaking of Cayden Crawford, seventh round pick, special teams assassin,

214
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: yet he had an interception in the end zone. I mean,

215
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: he most definitely has the athleticism and he is someone

216
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 2: who was really vine for a spot in this Final

217
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 2: fifty three just based on what he can do on

218
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 2: teams and then for him to make a play like that,

219
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 2: that is really encouraging. If you're Jonathan Gannon and Nick

220
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 2: Rowss the defensive coordinator, it's just a case where you

221
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: were going to go and I asked you about this

222
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 2: earlier and we never got around to it. So you're

223
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 2: going to take the film from this preseason game and

224
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 2: now you're going to go into the joint practice, and

225
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 2: a lot of the valuators they actually value the work

226
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: and that joint practice more than a preseason game in

227
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: a lot of ways. And I'm curious as to why,

228
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 2: why do you think that is a joint practice has

229
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 2: become so valuable in the eyes of the decision makers.

230
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 4: I think the biggest reason for that is, first of all,

231
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 4: it's a controlled environment, right. They control the environment, they

232
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 4: control the practice schedule, they control all of that stuff.

233
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 4: Out here. You have no control the game is the game, right,

234
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 4: you can't control certain things, and certain things happen out here. One,

235
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 4: I think two. I think the other thing is is

236
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 4: Patrick Maholmes tonight probably was expecting to play upwards of

237
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 4: two series, maybe a quarter, right, Well, then he gets

238
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 4: one series and he's out in three plays and you

239
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 4: don't get to see much of them.

240
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, they get a seven to ohing lead like that.

241
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 4: That's exactly right. And then he's out and it's like, okay,

242
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 4: we've seen enough, we're good, let's keep it moving. But

243
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 4: then in a joint practice, now you go to Denver

244
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 4: and you get to see good verse good one versus

245
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 4: one's first six out of a ten play period in

246
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 4: five different situations, right, And I think that's the biggest thing.

247
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 4: So now you get to see them more often. As

248
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 4: opposed to just getting three plays here, three plays there

249
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 4: in a preseason game. Now you're getting a full practice worth,

250
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 4: and sometimes it's two days worth, and it's situational football.

251
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 4: It's third down, it's blitz, it's nine on seven, it's this,

252
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 4: and at the end of the day, it's basically a

253
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 4: full tailed scrimmage. I mean, you're going because you missed

254
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 4: the first time seeing somebody other than your own color, right,

255
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 4: Like you've only seen red and white for the last

256
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 4: two three weeks. You're you're itching to fight, fight, hit

257
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 4: somebody else. And that's kind of where you're at, right.

258
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray just met the media. Cardinals win tonight, by

259
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 2: the way, they beat Kansas City twenty to seventeen. Will

260
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 2: visit with the head coach here momentarily Jonathan Gannon, who's

261
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 2: meeting the media. Kyler smiling to his pressor saying, according

262
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: to Darren Urban that you know he was happy to

263
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 2: play in the preseason after so many years, first preseason

264
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: action since twenty twenty one for Kyler, quote, I really

265
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 2: enjoyed myself. Football is here again. You know what else

266
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 2: Kyler enjoyed The fact is right tackle dressed and played

267
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 2: in Jonah Williams, which I was really curious to see

268
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: because maybe I missed it. I have not seen him

269
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 2: take a full speed, full contact repped an O line

270
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: D line drills. Here's someone who had his season ended

271
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: by a knee injury, and he had off season, sir,

272
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 2: and he came back and he rehabbed. But the fact

273
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: that he dressed and played in the preseason opener unexpected

274
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 2: to me. And I'm just curious how you thought he fared.

275
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 2: You have a look to the film, I'm I get it,

276
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 2: but you know, in terms of the entire old line,

277
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 2: it was intact what we expect to see week one

278
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 2: at New Orleans.

279
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 4: Sure, yeah, I thought, uh, I thought the group in general,

280
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 4: I thought looked pretty good. I thought they moved the

281
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 4: ball up and down the field pretty good. Obviously, you know,

282
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 4: a couple couple blunders and special teams didn't get him

283
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 4: a fair opportunity early on, but you know, and then

284
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 4: you get the interception from Kyler that killed the drive.

285
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 4: But they were down with the twenty yard line. They

286
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 4: got all the way down to the twenty yard line.

287
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 4: They obviously went sixty seventy yards or whatever it was.

288
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 4: And then the second drive I thought was really good too.

289
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 4: I thought they I thought they did a really good

290
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 4: job up front. I thought, you know, you're going against

291
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 4: the ones, You're going against a really good interior defensive

292
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 4: front in the Kansas City Chiefs, and I thought they

293
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 4: all held up pretty good. That's where I was wanting

294
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 4: to see. I was wanting to see the two guards

295
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 4: and how they held up. They did, well, you got

296
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 4: no pressure from the outside. So and they got Carl

297
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 4: Loftus who just got one hundred million dollars. Yeah, you

298
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 4: didn't hear his name, you didn't see him, and he

299
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 4: didn't make a big so I think coming out of this,

300
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 4: you know, you know, not looking at the film, I

301
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 4: felt pretty good about it.

302
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 2: I went on the other side of the ball and

303
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 2: the Cardinals defensive front, I mean we were calling different

304
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 2: names all night, first, second, third, fourth team guys all

305
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 2: the way down to Keon Bars, Jordan Birch. I mean,

306
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 2: they were disruptive, were they not?

307
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 4: They were? And I think that's the beauty about preseason

308
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 4: football is you get some guys who might get some opportunities,

309
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 4: and listen, let's also not forget about this. And this

310
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 4: is the one thing the coaches will always preach. I'm

311
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 4: not so sure everybody really talks about this, but like

312
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 4: a guy like Keon Bars, who got some opportunities tonight

313
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,599
Speaker 4: because some people may have not been playing due to

314
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 4: age or injury, get some opportunities, makes some splash plays,

315
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 4: make some some impact plays in the game. And now

316
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 4: that film is now going to thirty two teams. So

317
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 4: now thirty two teams are seeing him get some get

318
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 4: some reps, get some playing time, and get some playing

319
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 4: time against some meaningful competition. And now he may have

320
00:13:58,400 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 4: just earned himself a job, whether it's here or what.

321
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 4: There's thirty one other teams. That's the key to preseason,

322
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 4: no doubt. Once again, Cardinals get to win. Twenty to seventeen.

323
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 4: Didn't start in the most auspicious fashion, as Greg Dorsch

324
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 4: fumbled the opening kickoff return and Kansas City recovered at

325
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 4: the Cardinals thirteen, and then after an eight yard run

326
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 4: by Isaiah Pacheco, there was a one yard touchdown catch

327
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 4: following a penalty from Patrick Mahomes to the backup Brownlee

328
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 4: at receiver. Two plays thirteen yards, they had a seven

329
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 4: to nothing lead, and like a Q mentioned, Patrick Mahomes

330
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 4: was out of the game. Cardinals would respond later, in fact,

331
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 4: in the second quarter with a thirty three yard field

332
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 4: goal by Chad Rollin. Greg Dortsch had eleven yard catch

333
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 4: in that one, a ten yard catch Trey Benson at

334
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 4: a twenty yard catch and run. Looked, he looked regular

335
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 4: season ready. There's no doubt about it. Trey Benson. And

336
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 4: then Gardner Minshew came into the game and he led

337
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 4: a nice drive. They went ninth plays fifty two yards,

338
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 4: capped by a two yard touchdown run. The veteran quarterback

339
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 4: on his four team. He recognized the Cardinals defense had

340
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 4: its back to him and he trotted in for the

341
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 4: two yard score. Next time, though, there was a Hall interception,

342
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 4: and then after that a couple of nice Trey Benson

343
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 4: runs and that set up the forty three yard screen

344
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 4: to Amari de Marcado on third and eight, and he gone,

345
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 4: he housed it, and that put the Cardinals on the

346
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 4: scoreboard with a touchdown to make it fourteen to ten.

347
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 4: And then after that, Zay Weaver had a one yard

348
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 4: touchdown catch that was in the third quarter that made

349
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 4: it seventeen fourteen. Actually just before the as Zay Weaver

350
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 4: with a one yard touchdown catch, and then Cardinals after

351
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 4: a fifty eight yard field goal by Harrison Butker ended

352
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 4: up getting their own fifty yard field goal from Chad Ryland.

353
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 4: Keaton Crawford had that interception in the end zone as

354
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 4: we mentioned, and again Jacoby Brissett, he looked really good

355
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 4: on his second drive, engineering that ninth place seventy nine

356
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 4: yard touchdown. Xavier Weaver in this game, had a couple

357
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 4: of returns, He had a nice touchdown catch.

358
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 2: You think he did enough to continue his push for

359
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 2: a spot on the final fifty three number eighty nine

360
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: backup receiver Xavier Weaver.

361
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought he did a nice job. And I

362
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 4: do think again this might come down to special teams,

363
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 4: but we can echo that sentiment over and over again

364
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 4: because that's what we have to do during preseason football,

365
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 4: and you never know what route they're gonna go. But

366
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 4: I do know there's you know, we were missing some

367
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 4: guys due to injury tonights and then now that he

368
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 4: gets to slide in and get some opportunities that maybe

369
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 4: he wouldn't have gotten earlier, and you know, he's a

370
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 4: really good football player. You just got to keep doing it,

371
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 4: and that's the biggest key to preseason. That's what people

372
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 4: really don't fully understand. It's like they see one splash day,

373
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 4: and especially in preseason one, it's like, Okay, well is

374
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 4: he gonna do in preseason two, in preseason three, and

375
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 4: he's still doing this at the end of August, right,

376
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 4: Like That's that's the big key, and that's the big

377
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 4: key to making teams and staying on teams. Longevity in

378
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 4: this league always comes down to consistency, and that's that's

379
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 4: gonna be the key. He had a great first start

380
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 4: and a great first step in tonight, and now he's

381
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 4: just got to continue it.

382
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: And again to reiterate, look, you're the fourth or fifth receiver.

383
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 2: You're not going to get a ton of targets. You're

384
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 2: not gonna get a ton of snaps in offense, so

385
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 2: you have to contribute on special teams. Is we know

386
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 2: the bulk of the targets are going to go to

387
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 2: Trey McBride, who had a nice twenty one yard grab.

388
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 2: He was in sync with Kyler Murray that definitely looked

389
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 2: regular season ready. And then you saw a fifteen yard

390
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 2: catch from Marvin Harrison Junior. I mean you could make

391
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 2: a case that the thing you want to see. The

392
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 2: most coming out of Cardinals camp is the chemistry between

393
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 2: K one and Marvin Harrison Junior. And we've seen it

394
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 2: in camp and you definitely saw it on that catch

395
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 2: by Marv. Did you not in sync on the run? Yeah?

396
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 4: Absolutely? And I thought that was a really good ball

397
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 4: by Kyler two. That was a play action pass where

398
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 4: you're kind of a little over out in between defenders,

399
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 4: and I thought he nailed it. He put it right

400
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 4: on the money. But that's the only way you get

401
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 4: that chemistry is by doing it over and over again

402
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 4: in practice and doing it now in a game. Now

403
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 4: you good about that moving forward.

404
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 2: It was funny we were down on the field before

405
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 2: the game. You're talking about how big some of the Cardinals'

406
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 2: receivers are. Not only Marvin Arrison Junior obviously is up

407
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 2: to two hundred and twenty pounds, Michael Wilson, big receiver

408
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 2: Zay Jones every bit of six two two hundred. I mean,

409
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 2: the Cardinals have some size in that department. And as

410
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 2: we know, Jonathan Gannon expects every one of those receivers

411
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 2: to block in the run game and beyond. So it

412
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 2: is it is a physical brand of ball and we

413
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: have the head coach, the aforementioned Jonathan Gannon joins US coach.

414
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 2: Congrats on the win twenty to seventeen. For those just

415
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 2: joined US Cardinals over Kansas City. Maybe just a couple

416
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 2: of main takeaways. What's sticking with you the most?

417
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think, honestly our resilience. You know, the game

418
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 6: didn't start great, that's for sure, you know, turn it

419
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 6: over and opening kickoff and then them scoring in two

420
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 6: or three plays or whatever it was. But then we

421
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 6: came back and did some really good things. I thought

422
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 6: the one offense moved it pretty good and no, we

423
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 6: had an interception, but then after that, I thought they

424
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 6: responded the right way. I thought we controlled the line

425
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 6: of scrimmage and the defense forced a punt there, I think,

426
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 6: and you know, we lost a takeaway battle three two.

427
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 6: Typically you don't overcome that, but a lot of guys

428
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 6: stepped up, made in play. So I would just say, honestly, resilience,

429
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 6: and I thought our motive play was on display. I

430
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 6: thought there was some good hitting and I really think,

431
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 6: you know, the offensive defensive line did a pretty good

432
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 6: job of controlling the line of scrimmage.

433
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: Kyler med the media before you he had a smile

434
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 2: on his face that he enjoyed his first preseason action

435
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 2: since twenty twenty one. He did move the ball when

436
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 2: he was out there. What did you like about how

437
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 2: the first team offense operates?

438
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, those two drives, we went right down the field

439
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 6: kind of both times, you know what I mean. A

440
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 6: couple explosives in there. The run game looked pretty good.

441
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 6: We mixed some screens, you know, some keepers, so I

442
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 6: loved how Drew called that. And you know, I know,

443
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 6: Trey had the explosive, Mara had the big third down

444
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 6: that that was good to see. You know, James Conner

445
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 6: ran it well, took him out. Trey Benson did a

446
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,479
Speaker 6: good job. But Mari, you know, I thought they did

447
00:19:58,560 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 6: a good job.

448
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 2: Did you happen to talked to Kyle about the interception?

449
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 6: And yeah, he said, he's just he didn't get enough

450
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 6: air on it. I thought, honestly, Paul, I thought that

451
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 6: was a really good play by that. That was not

452
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 6: like being careless with the football. That guy wasn't covering

453
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 6: the guy that he was thrown it to and kind

454
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 6: of reached back and picked it off at the last

455
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 6: matth That was a really good play by the defender.

456
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 6: Those happen. I mean, that's ball. Those happen. He knows

457
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 6: the value of the ball, so we'll learn from it

458
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 6: and move on.

459
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 2: A Mari t Mercado forty three yard catch and run

460
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 2: all the way to the house. I've heard guy say

461
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: he has deceptive speed. What is it about him that

462
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 2: makes him such a valuable member of your team?

463
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, well, he does everything right all the time.

464
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 6: So he's very consistent, wears a lot of hats on

465
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 6: game day, and you've seen over since he's been here.

466
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 6: He can make plays. Man like he is. He gets going,

467
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 6: he's faster in games and he is in practice. I

468
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 6: would say that. I agree, I do. Maybe she's got

469
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:56,479
Speaker 6: like more adrenaline than everybody, but he's deceptively fast. But

470
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 6: and he's hard to bring down, especially in space. So

471
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 6: it was good to see him with that catch and run.

472
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 6: That was a big time play.

473
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 4: Coach AQ here, great job, great first point, great first step. Obviously,

474
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 4: moving into Denver in Vegas obviously after that, what is

475
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 4: the what is the messaging moving forward? I know, yeah,

476
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 4: the games, the wins don't really mean as much in

477
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 4: the preseason. Obviously, you want to get them and they're

478
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 4: nice to get. But what's the message. Yeah, that one's easy.

479
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 3: That will never change. AQ.

480
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 6: Like when we come in they're off tomorrow, but when

481
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 6: we come in on Monday, like, it's all that matters

482
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 6: is we if we get better, and so we'll point

483
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 6: out the good, we'll point out the bad. And the

484
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 6: most important thing as a team, in my opinion, every day,

485
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 6: especially after games, is pointing those things out, making sure

486
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 6: our guys understand. We educate them, we detail it up,

487
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 6: we practice it and and we get better from it.

488
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 2: You know.

489
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 6: And every game is gonna you know, fall out a

490
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 6: little bit differently, but you never know when you make

491
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 6: a coaching point this Monday from this preseason game, when

492
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 6: it's going to show up again. So uh, I think

493
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,120
Speaker 6: the main thing is just learning and moving.

494
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 2: Non Jacoby Rossett came into the game, took a couple

495
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 2: of hard hits in his first two pass attenpts, but

496
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 2: then that two minute drill. Either mean that's a quintessential

497
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 2: veteran quarterback, isn't it.

498
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, he made some plays, He made some big time

499
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 6: throws in there. He got hit early twice, I think,

500
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 6: and then and then you know again he's he's a

501
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 6: vet man, he's a good player. And uh and that

502
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 6: two minute drill too, that got a little funky because

503
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 6: we had a bunch of timeouts, so we really weren't

504
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 6: in two minutes till under the one till under under

505
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 6: a minute or so, trying to kind of bleed him

506
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 6: out there, and then it, you know, we had the

507
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 6: injury time out, so he lost the time out there,

508
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 6: and Jacoby I thought that it really when he can scramble,

509
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 6: when he can't scramble when he has to get it

510
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 6: up and down to the end zone because we're trying

511
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 6: to save time outs to be able to run it

512
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 6: on the last play there. But he operated like a

513
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 6: true vet man, complete command and it was good to

514
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 6: see the offense there leak you know, that much time

515
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 6: off the clock on a nine play drive and come

516
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 6: away with seven points.

517
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 3: That was huge.

518
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 2: We talked to Darren Hall. He really sounds like he's

519
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 2: playing with confidence. That was a heck of an interception.

520
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 2: He almost had a second. And then Keaton Crawford, I

521
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 2: mean he high pointed that interest.

522
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, both those guys got big time ball skills. A

523
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 6: lot of our dbs, do you know, d Hall, that's

524
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 6: that's what he does in practice though, Like he's he

525
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 6: gets his hands on a lot of balls. You know,

526
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 6: he's a multiple position guy. That's very very smart. He's

527
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 6: got really good movement skills. I thought he tackled well

528
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 6: today and then that pick was an outstanding play, huge play.

529
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 2: How encouraging is it to see Jonah Williams out there

530
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 2: at right tackle. I think a lot of us, including fans,

531
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 2: were uncertain as to what his status might have been.

532
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, he looked good and he you know, he sent

533
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 6: him out as a captain because he you know, I

534
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 6: think sometimes it goes unnoticed when especially big everybody, but

535
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 6: especially big guys when they get nicked. Like he put

536
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 6: in a lot of work to get back to where

537
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 6: he is right now. And I'm proud of him for that.

538
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 6: And it was just really cool to see him get

539
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 6: back out there and and get his pads on and

540
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 6: get going. And he's a good player. Man, he's a

541
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 6: good player.

542
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 2: We need him. Last question, joint practice. What do you

543
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 2: enjoy those? And what is it you get out of those?

544
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 2: Maybe you don't get in a preseason game. I know

545
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 2: that's another tool in evaluating right.

546
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I mean you get everything out of

547
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 6: a pre that out of a preseason game, besides the tackling,

548
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. So we'll we'll practice in

549
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 6: a safe way. But you know the value of going

550
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 6: against different schemes, different people, their central nervous system will

551
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 6: be higher on that Thursday than it is a practice.

552
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 6: It just is because you're it's a you know, you're

553
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 6: going against an opponent, a different opponent than your teammate.

554
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 6: You know, I'm looking forward to getting a lot of

555
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 6: good work. We're gonna load them up, Sean. Sean Coach

556
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 6: Payton has a really good plan for us when we

557
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 6: go there, and I'm excited about it, I really am.

558
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 6: And that's a really good football team. You know, that's

559
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,360
Speaker 6: a playoff football team. They got a lot of good players.

560
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 6: Like I said, two good, three good schemes that we're

561
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 6: going to get a lot out.

562
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 2: Of it, no doubt, just like going against Kansas City.

563
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 6: Right Yah, AFC champs. They were excited to you know,

564
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 6: we talked about it last night. You know, you got

565
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 6: the AFC Champs in it. You can say it's preseason,

566
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 6: it's still the NFL and you're putting on a un form.

567
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 6: It's real, you know, And they knew the type of

568
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 6: opponent and the type of coach that coming in here,

569
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 6: and they were excited and I'm glad they played well.

570
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 2: We look forward to it. Thanks you.

571
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 3: I appreciate it. Be safe there you.

572
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 2: Go, Jonathan Ganhn and everyone, And I tell you, well,

573
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 2: I'll just ask you tackling a lot of times I

574
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 2: didn't even ask them about tackling because it really wasn't glaring.

575
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 2: There was nothing egregious. But I can't tell you how

576
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 2: many times over twenty years, the first preseason game we

577
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 2: are talking about tackling. I didn't think that even merited

578
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 2: a question to the head coach.

579
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 4: No, I agree. I thought they tackled well today. And

580
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 4: I think that is always a point emphasis that you

581
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 4: want to watch whenever you're watching these preseason games, because

582
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 4: most teams don't do it because they don't want to

583
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 4: risk the injury in practice. And ironically, I played for

584
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 4: Andy Reid in Philadelphia and we always tackled in practice

585
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 4: at least a handful of times before the first preseason game.

586
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 4: And I think he still does that in Kansas City.

587
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 4: And so you know, in saying that they went against

588
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 4: a team that is, you know, callous in the sense

589
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 4: that they do practice against real tackling, live tackling drills,

590
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 4: and they performed very well.

591
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 2: Tonight, no doubt. Once again, Kyler Murray seven of eight

592
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 2: ninety six yards passing. He had the pick, but he

593
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 2: also had two drives where he moved the offense. He

594
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 2: had a nice connection with Marvin Harrison Junior, Trey McBride

595
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 2: at twenty one yard catch. Trey Benson looked really athletic

596
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,239
Speaker 2: with some jump cuts. Love the reference you threw out

597
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 2: there to David Johnson Junior definitely looked like that as

598
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 2: he just bounced between gaps up front. There was the

599
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 2: interceptions Keen Crawford, Darren Hall and Man. Too many defensive

600
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 2: linemen we shouted out to even name at this point,

601
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 2: so the names will throw out their special thanks as always,

602
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 2: Jim Amhundro, Cody Fincher, Wald Ellis, Jason Ellis, Alan Narini

603
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: and Evan Riser Jamal Gumo. The VP is Surf Melendez

604
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 2: for a Q Shipley and his maiden voyage. Really well done.
