Speaker 1: Welcome to the Cardinals Locker Room Show, presented by Arizona

Speaker 1: Cardinals Podcast. Visit Hazycardinals dot com Slash.

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 2: Podcasts, cool Man.

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: Come on, let's get back to the stadium for analysis

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: and exclusive interviews from the Cardinals Locker Room. Here's Dave, Pash,

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley, and Paul calvic.

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 3: Here on The Cardinals Locker Room Show. After twenty to

8
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 3: thirteen defeat to Detroit. Wolf going to break, just kind

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 3: of talking about, you know, this being a barometer game.

10
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 3: What's your takeaway in that regard in terms of how

11
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 3: far the Cardinals have come, but also where they have

12
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 3: to go.

13
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, they've got word to do. There's no

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: doubt about it. The Detroit Lions came out and they

15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: won this game twenty to thirteen because they were able

16
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: to control the line of scrimmage. They ran the ball

17
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: well enough offensively to put Jared Goff in a balanced offense,

18
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: and because of that, they scored twenty points in this game.

19
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: I was very, very encouraged to see the Arizona Cardinals

20
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 2: defense come out and compete the way they did in

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: the second half after giving up twenty points in that

22
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 2: first half. But they competed on the line of scrimmage,

23
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 2: did a better job against the run in the second half.

24
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: That is encouraging. It's the offense that is really discouraging

25
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: here because without Alex Anzeloni, who I think is their

26
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: best inside linebacker, also a guy that they looked to

27
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: a captain type player, the Arizona Cardinals could not run

28
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: the ball with any type of regularity, and that was

29
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: really disappointing. Now, I know, you know you had a

30
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: right tackle situation going on with your offensive line, but

31
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: still the fact that you went out there and were

32
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: not able to run the football put Kyler Murray in

33
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: a balanced offense that to me was very disappointing.

34
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: Seventy seven rushing yards for the Cardinals and you touched

35
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 3: on the defense. First half, they gave up about seven

36
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 3: yards of play, second half about four thirty four plays

37
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 3: for Detroit. Only one hundred and thirty three yards in

38
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 3: the second half and no point. So the defense certainly

39
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 3: played better in the second half. And it's not like

40
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 3: they're at full strength either. I mean, you got injuries

41
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 3: to a couple starters on the defense. You lost two

42
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: of your six defensive linemen in this game. That you

43
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 3: had up, including a starter and Justin Jones. So you're

44
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 3: playing with your forces depleted on that side of the ball.

45
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 3: You held the Lions to twenty points, pitched the shotout

46
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 3: on the second half, but again just three points on

47
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: offense for the Cardinals in the second half. And so

48
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 3: now you go back, as you get ready for Washington,

49
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: you try to figure out a way to run the ball,

50
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 3: because James Connor had just nine carries and seventeen yards.

51
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: Wow. And there it is right there, that is the

52
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: evidence of everything we just have talked about here, David.

53
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: That was it. Cardinals could not run the ball, and

54
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: I really do believe it's very, very important for them

55
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: to run the ball, to put Kyler Murray in that

56
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: balanced offense. Because of that, and then Kyler was not

57
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: as effective as we've seen him in the first two games.

58
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 3: Troy Benson just two carries eight yards. Cardinals lose twenty

59
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 3: to thirteen to Detroit. Back after this and the Cards

60
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 3: radio and now today's game presented by State Farm like

61
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 3: a good neighbors State Farm is there Jim Omhunter Perser

62
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 3: Wos told us Kurtzacher, a statistician, first said no rushing

63
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 3: plays at all, in the fourth quarter and James Connor

64
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 3: lowest rushing total of his career minimum nine carries, which

65
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 3: is what he had today. So your Dante say it.

66
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 3: Cardinals did a better job stopping the running the second half.

67
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 3: But the Cardinals' inability to run the ball, they just

68
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 3: you know, one of nine and third down, you can't

69
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 3: run the ball. You're not going to be in third

70
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 3: and short, You're going to be in second at third

71
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 3: and long, Wolf and it just makes it really hard

72
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: to possess the football.

73
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know. In Once again, I want to give

74
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: credit to the Detroit Lions. That's who they are. They

75
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: believe that winning games, winning football games starts on the

76
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage, on both sides of the ball. It's

77
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: why they invest as much as they do into their

78
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 2: offensive line that has four first round picks on that

79
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: offensive line. Now, once again, it's not like the Lions

80
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 2: drafted every one of those four first round picks. But

81
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: having said that, they invest in their offensive line because

82
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: they know their skill is going to be able to

83
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: do better and perform better when that offensive line is

84
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: out there playing the way that they do. I think

85
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 2: they have the best offensive line certainly in the NFC,

86
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: I think for the most part, maybe in the National

87
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: Football League. I love the fact the Arizona Cardinals defense

88
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: came out here in competed the way they did in

89
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: that second half. After giving up twenty points, I know,

90
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 2: the Lions were still able to run the ball, and

91
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: ultimately that's why they won this game, because they were

92
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: able to run the ball. They scored twenty points largely

93
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 2: in that first half because they were able to run

94
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: the ball. But the Cardinals came out and competed on

95
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 2: that line of scrimmage and that really encouraged me. What

96
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 2: discouraged me was the fact that the Cardinals became one

97
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: dimensional early in the second half.

98
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 3: Well, Seattle won. So the Seahawks at three and oho,

99
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 3: the Cardinals have company at one and two. Two teams

100
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 3: joined them because the Rams, I don't know how, just

101
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: beat the forty nine ers twenty seven to twenty four.

102
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?

103
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: Yes? No? Not no, not kidding.

104
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: Oh, my goodnesses.

105
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 3: So you've got three teams at one and two and

106
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 3: you got the Seahawks at three and oh, just like

107
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 3: everybody predicted coming into the year, right.

108
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: Boy, that is crazy, it really is. Yeah. The Cardinals, though,

109
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: I think this is going to be good. I think

110
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 2: they are one of the most physical teams in the league,

111
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: but they're gonna have to prove it from this point forward.

112
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 2: This is a good reminder going out there and competing

113
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: against the Lions. And again the Lions is they pride

114
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 2: themselves on being tough inside that box. So this is

115
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: a physical, physical game and we all were looking forward

116
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: to it, and we found out Cardinals have a lot

117
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 2: of work to do.

118
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 3: They do play a rookie quarterback in Jane Daniels, who

119
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 3: it's a homecoming of sorts. Started out here at Arizona State.

120
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 3: They're playing tomorrow night at Cincinnati, so a short week

121
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 3: on the road. The Commanders come in here. Former Cardinals

122
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 3: head coach Cliff Kingsbury now the offensive coordinator and the

123
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: play call for the Commanders, Dan Quinn the head coach.

124
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 3: They're one and one on the season and the Cardinals

125
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 3: you're never going to say in September that it's a

126
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 3: must win, but when you have three straight home games,

127
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 3: you got to win two out of three, and so

128
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 3: especially knowing you got the Niners on the road, they

129
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 3: just dropped a game that it was a wild day

130
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 3: in the NFL. Look at some of the scores where

131
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 3: they just dropped a game that they obviously did not

132
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 3: think was going to happen. They were in command that

133
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 3: whole game, and the Rams are banged up and obviously

134
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 3: really struggled here last week, and then you have the Packers.

135
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 3: It looks like Jordan Love is going to be back

136
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 3: at this pointoli willis played well, but at this point

137
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 3: it looks like Love will return much earlier than expected.

138
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 3: So to be able to close out this three game

139
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 3: homestand at two and one, to get to two and

140
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 3: two overall, maybe you get a little bit healthy at

141
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 3: some point. You hope to get Darius Robinson back in

142
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 3: the near future. You hope to get Jonah Williams back

143
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 3: in the near future. We always thought, I, at least

144
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 3: I did wolf that if you could just get through

145
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 3: the first month two and two, looking at the schedule,

146
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 3: that at least you weren't you didn't have this huge

147
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 3: uphill climb one in three. Not saying you can't overcome it,

148
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 3: but it feels like you're asking a lot knowing that

149
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: then you've got those two road games against playoff teams

150
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 3: back to back.

151
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know for me, right, now, I think it's

152
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 2: okay to get up in front of your team and

153
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: tell these guys, hey, listen, this is it boys. Early

154
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 2: in this season. We want to be two and two.

155
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 2: There's no denying that. And the fact that you've got

156
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: the Commanders coming in here off of that short week,

157
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,559
Speaker 2: playing on Monday nights, coming in here a road game,

158
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 2: traveling all the way across the country. Heck yeah, man,

159
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: I think you know, it's up to the head coach,

160
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: of course, to set the table for his team. Now

161
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 2: the player's David. They got to go out and they

162
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: got to eat. Nobody else can do it. They've got

163
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: to eat. But setting the table I think is something

164
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 2: that a head coach has got to do in the NFL,

165
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 2: and I think JG is really good at it. I

166
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 2: think he'll square away with these guys right now. Listen.

167
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: The fact that the Rams beat the forty nine I'm

168
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: thinking immediately, Sean McVay, that's exactly where my mind goes

169
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: when I think of what we saw and how the

170
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals beat the Rams down here. My goodness, the

171
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 2: fact that they would play the forty nine ers and

172
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: beat the forty nine ers, I think of Sean McVeigh

173
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: and how good a coach he really is.

174
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 3: You had some crazy games today in terms of outcomes,

175
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 3: with Denver winning in Tampa Bay blowing out the Buccaneers

176
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 3: with a rookie quarterback.

177
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: I never saw that coming ever, who would.

178
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 3: After they beat Detroit, Green Bay easily handles Tennessee not

179
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: really a shock. But again with Malik Willison quarterback, Carolina

180
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 3: with Andy Dalton goes to Vegas and wins. He lit

181
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: them up a Giants winning Cleveland. Minnesota blows out Houston

182
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 3: thirty four to seven behind Sam Darnold. So again, the

183
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 3: NFL year to year proposition is you, like to say, Wolf,

184
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 3: I'm in agreement. It's also weak to week you just

185
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: don't know. But obviously getting off to a good start,

186
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 3: just giving yourself a little cushion for those mid to

187
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 3: late season injuries that are gonna come. With a seventeen

188
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 3: game season, people might be listening thinking, ah, just one

189
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 3: more game, but think what goes into each game, and

190
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 3: now you add a full week of that. It makes

191
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 3: it harder to get through a year unscathed, to get

192
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 3: through a year where you have continuity on your lines.

193
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 3: I mean, the Cardinals may be starting a fourth right

194
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 3: tackle in four games. It doesn't just affect the right tackle.

195
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 3: It affects the whole offensive line. It affects Kyler Murray,

196
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 3: who ended up by the way throwing for two h seven,

197
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 3: a touchdown, and a pick. A quarterback rating of seventy seven.

198
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 3: The first half looked like the whole game of the Rams,

199
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 3: and then the second half, for whatever reason, well just

200
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 3: didn't look as good. Maybe playing from behind, maybe it

201
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 3: was the pressure, maybe it was some mistakes by the receivers.

202
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know. For me, once again, I think you

203
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 2: look at that second half and the Arizona Cardinals became

204
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 2: one dimensional pretty early where they really couldn't run the ball.

205
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: That first half I think was a beatdown for him

206
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: because they weren't able to run the ball the way

207
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: that I thought that we're going to be able to.

208
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 2: And I think the second half became a situation where

209
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 2: there were one dimensional and it was very, very difficult.

210
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 2: I will say this right now. I think when you

211
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 2: go back and look at some of the one on

212
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 2: one situations that Marvin Harrison Junior had, some of the

213
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: throws were not great throws by Kyler Murray when he

214
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 2: singled them up and attacked, especially on the perimeter on

215
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 2: the outside, But there were some there that I think

216
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: the tape is really going to help Marvin Harrison Junior

217
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 2: and Kyler Murray see they need to continue to develop

218
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: this chemistry, David, this chemistry that I think we're starting

219
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 2: to see from them, but they've got a lot of

220
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 2: work they still have to do. I think this tape

221
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 2: is going to help expedite the process.

222
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 3: He's a rookie. It's easy to look at those mistakes,

223
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 3: but it's also he's got three touchdowns already. He's clearly

224
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 3: a number one. And we saw last week in the

225
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 3: first quarter and this week in the first half that

226
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 3: he's hard to cover. Now we're adjustments made in the

227
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 3: second half by the Rams, by Buffalo and by Detroit.

228
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 3: We're they're adjustments that gave him trouble because again, and

229
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 3: we've talked about this a lot, Wolf I play wide receiver.

230
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 3: Going from college to the NFL is among the hardest transitions.

231
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 3: You just see you don't see as much in college.

232
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 3: Some offenses. In college you're not even in the huddle,

233
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 3: you're doing your own thing. They're different adjustments you have

234
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 3: to make at the pro level. And maybe some of

235
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 3: this is just again a normal rookie learning curve for him.

236
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 2: No, I think it definitely is. And you know, like

237
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: you said, he had, you got three touchdowns already in

238
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 2: three games right now, that would be a pretty good

239
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 2: pace if you continue to do that.

240
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 3: What about Trey McBride, though, if he's hopefully okay after

241
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 3: going into concussion protocol just three catches, it feels like

242
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 3: it's been a quiet start for him. I don't know

243
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 3: if you're seeing teams that are really game planning for him,

244
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,239
Speaker 3: or if there's another reason why he has not gotten untracked.

245
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a combination of the two. I

246
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 2: think it's still the chemistry that Kyler Murray has got

247
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 2: to continue to develop with him. They were very, very

248
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 2: good last season. Of course, I think that needs to

249
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 2: rear its head once again. But it's difficult for Kyler.

250
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 2: He's trying to get Marvin Harrison Junior involved in this

251
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 2: offense in a big way, and it's not like he's

252
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 2: he's looking immediately to throw the ball to Marvin Harrison Junior.

253
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 2: He's going through his progressions and at the same time,

254
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 2: I think he's still finding his way in this offense,

255
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: and you know, Trey McBride is a Grey talent, There's

256
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 2: no doubt about it. I think they're gonna be absolutely fine.

257
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 2: I'm not worried about those guys. I'm not worried about

258
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 2: getting Trey McBride involved in this offense. I'm more worried

259
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 2: about the chemistry in terms of Marvin Harrison Junior and

260
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray. Just again, some of these throws, these back

261
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 2: shoulder throws that we see, I think Marvin Harrison Junior

262
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 2: can actually get better at doing it. Again, Kyler Murray

263
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 2: wasn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but I

264
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 2: do believe Marvin Harrison Junior is a guy that needs

265
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 2: to work on some of those contested catches, those back

266
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 2: shoulder throws.

267
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 3: Two sacks today we heard from Dante Stills. Mac Wilson

268
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 3: had a sack and again deprived of what looked like

269
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 3: a pick six. Look like the clock had not hit

270
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 3: two minutes when the officials blew it dead. What a

271
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 3: pickup he's been. The Cardinals are incredibly solid in the

272
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 3: middle of that defense, with Kaiser White, mac Wilson, and

273
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 3: obviously the two safeties Baker and Jalen Thompson. Paul is

274
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 3: waiting for coach JG. Would love to hear what referee

275
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 3: Brad Rodgers told JG about the clock situation there at

276
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 3: two oh one slash two minutes at the end of

277
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 3: the first half, which again when we were watching it

278
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 3: live and via replay, look like it was still at

279
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 3: two oh one when the snap happened, that it had

280
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 3: not hit two minutes.

281
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 2: And.

282
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 3: At that point the play's dead. You can't review it,

283
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 3: and it's as if it never happened, which is unfortunate

284
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 3: because that was the difference here in the game, at

285
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 3: least when you look at the scoreboard.

286
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really really tough right there. And two,

287
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: the Arizona Cardinals came after Jared Golf in that situation

288
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 2: and he was trying to get rid of it and

289
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 2: it bounced into the air and great play.

290
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 3: All right, I'm sure we'll get the latest on that

291
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 3: and more from coach with Paul standingboy.

292
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 4: Jonathan Gannon joins us from the locker room. Coach, you

293
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 4: knew it was gonna be a physical game. How do

294
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 4: you think the Cardinals competed today?

295
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, we didn't lose the game because of effort and

296
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 5: violence and finish, and you know, so that is that.

297
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 5: I'm enthused about that because that team is a good

298
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 5: football team that plays extremely hard and plays with violence,

299
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 5: and I thought we matched it. We just got to

300
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 5: play cleaner in all three phases there.

301
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 4: You know, Ben Johnson, their offensive coordinator, was liable to

302
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 4: do most anything when he starts the game with six

303
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 4: offensive linemen and multiple tight ends.

304
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 2: What did that tell you?

305
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I thought that they got they started. Obviously,

306
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 5: the emphasis was to run it, and we're a little

307
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 5: bit leaky, so we didn't get to some pass downs

308
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 5: in there. But then I thought at halftime we made

309
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 5: good adjustments and we did a good job in the

310
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 5: run game there for the most part in the second half.

311
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, was there one big adjustment you had to make

312
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 4: after those opening touchdown drives by the Lions?

313
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 5: You know, there's never a huge adjustment. I'm sure Nick

314
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 5: called a couple different I know Nick called a couple

315
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 5: different things with how they were attacking us, and some

316
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 5: guys made some plays. They bit down on their mouthpiece

317
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 5: and made some plays.

318
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 4: You mentioned halftime, Right before half, I want to ask

319
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 4: you abou a couple of specific game situations. What looked

320
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 4: to be two to oh one, maybe two minutes wiped

321
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 4: out a pick six. Just what were you told about

322
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 4: that situation?

323
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 5: They said, at the two minute warning, the game clock

324
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 5: operator blows the whistle.

325
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 4: And what amount to do a fourteen point swing? How

326
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 4: tough or deflating or yeah.

327
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 5: It was because you know, you'd you'd like to keep

328
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 5: points off the board there going into halftime. But I

329
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 5: thought our offense did a good job of getting a

330
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 5: field goal there, and I thought our resiliency coming out

331
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 5: at halftime, they didn't. Our guys don't let that bug them.

332
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 5: That's an uncontrollable for our guys. Control what you can

333
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 5: control and make sure we come out and play a

334
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 5: half that we get ourselves back in the game and

335
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 5: have a chance to win the game, which I thought

336
00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 5: we did.

337
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, the defense pitched a shutout in the second half.

338
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 4: What stood out about the d in that second.

339
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought the run game was good like you

340
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 5: talked about, and I thought on on pass downs we

341
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 5: did a good job. You had to take away you

342
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 5: had a fourth down stop. Those are huge points to

343
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 5: keep us in the game there. I thought they played

344
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 5: really well in the second half.

345
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 4: Dennis Gardek had the interception obviously late third quarter. How

346
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 4: close were you to taking the points in that fourth one?

347
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 5: I know, yeah, that's a good question, Paul, that's it.

348
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 5: You know, at it probably was, but at a at

349
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 5: one I thought it was the right thing to do

350
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 5: with the time and the score at the at the

351
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 5: point in the game to go for it there. So

352
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 5: they made a good play.

353
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 4: How did you assess Kyler day, especially when considering the

354
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 4: last run if we have this correct, which with about

355
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 4: three minutes to go in the third quarter, that was

356
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 4: the last run by the Cardinals offense at that point,

357
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 4: your your one dimensional on offense?

358
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 3: Correct.

359
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's a hard way to go. You know,

360
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 5: you never you always want to have a be at

361
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 5: a one score game, so you're not one dimensional. I

362
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 5: thought he battled his ass off. He sat in there

363
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 5: and and tried to make plays for us, and made

364
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 5: some plays for us, got us back into the game.

365
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 5: I thought thought he played well.

366
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 4: So when you in the scope of this game, he

367
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 4: had zoom out when you look at the rushing totals

368
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 4: one to eighty seven to seventy seven, how big was

369
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 4: that in deciding the game?

370
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 2: I think it was.

371
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 5: I think that was one of the things. You know,

372
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 5: they played the game, especially in the first half of

373
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 5: second and shorters, and we played the game in second

374
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 5: and longers, and I think that's another reason. You know,

375
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 5: I know he weren't great on third down as an offense,

376
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 5: but you know, when you're third and eight, third, nine, thirty,

377
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 5: ten all day versus a good defense that can rush,

378
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 5: it's just a tough way to go. So we'll get

379
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 5: back to the drawing board and we'll do a better job.

380
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 4: And he played most of the game with a third

381
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 4: string right tackle Jackson Barton, How do you think he faired?

382
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 5: He played awesome. I thought he really played awesome. He

383
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 5: stepped up to the plate. He's always prepared. Like I said,

384
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 5: his role changed, you know, basically up until game time.

385
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: And I thought he did a good job.

386
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 4: What was the thing in an eight Hudchinson? He obviously

387
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 4: did not wreck this game.

388
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought you know that this Obviously some plays

389
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 5: are called to try to get out of his hand

390
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 5: a little bit, and we had attention to him. I

391
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 5: thought he had the sack at the end. But he's

392
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 5: a good player, man, I mean, reak some havoc in there,

393
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 5: and he definitely failed us. And you definitely got a

394
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 5: game plan for him. So when you do that, that

395
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 5: that limits you a little bit too.

396
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 4: Anything specific you want the team to take away from

397
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 4: this particular game going forward.

398
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, And what I told him is I'm enthused about

399
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 5: our effort and our and our and our violence and

400
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 5: our finish. What we'll take just like we do from

401
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 5: any game tomorrow. We'll get in there and learn from

402
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 5: our mistakes. And but I told him, I said, if

403
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 5: we if we keep playing with that type of intensity

404
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 5: and effort, uh, We're going to be in a lot

405
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 5: of games. We'll win a lot of games. So that's

406
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 5: what I'm enthused about. That's what we can take away

407
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 5: from it. Clean up the pissed that we lost. We'll

408
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 5: clean that stuff up and become better from it. But

409
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 5: if we keep playing with that, we'll be fine. Okay,

410
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 5: thank you, coach, Thank you, guys.

411
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 2: There we go.

412
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 4: Head coach Jonathan Gannon.

413
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 3: Guys, it's so interesting to listen to Jgither because what

414
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 3: he said is what people in the Lions organization were

415
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 3: saying before the game, that the Cardinals remind them of themselves,

416
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 3: meaning the physicality, the attention to detail, how well coached

417
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 3: they are, and look, it's a seven point game. Despite

418
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 3: the issues with the run game, the interception, turning it

419
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 3: over on downs twice, they still lost by seven. It

420
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 3: was a one possession game. At the end. They had

421
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,719
Speaker 3: a chance to get the defense off the field. They

422
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 3: had stopped the Lions on five consecutive third downs and

423
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 3: Jared Goffin a'm and Ross Saint Brown made a play.

424
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 3: But again, is the Cardinals are. They're not there yet,

425
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 3: but you still can see great progress.

426
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 2: Just very very encouraged that the Arizona Cardinals came out

427
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 2: and played one of the teams in the NFC that

428
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 2: many people think could be the representative in the NFC

429
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 2: came out here. It's a one possession game loss twenty

430
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 2: to thirteen. They came out here and competed. I am

431
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 2: discouraged about the line of scrimmage. They they got beat

432
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 2: on the line of scrimmage and that was something I

433
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 2: didn't foresee happening in this game, especially from the offensive

434
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 2: perspective for the Arizona Cardinals. All Right.
