1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Cardinals Locker Room Show, presented by Sam

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: tan Forden Gil Home up at Tim hoping satisfaction guarantee.

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: Come man, Come on, Let's get back to the stadium

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: for analysis and exclusive interviews from the Cardinals locker room.

5
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: Here's Dave pash a two shipley and All.

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:28,159
Speaker 2: Calvisi final score Tampa Bay twenty, Arizona seventeen as the

7
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: Cardinals fall to three and nine on the season. The

8
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: Cardinals had their chances but come up short once again,

9
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 2: another one score defeat. Chad Ryland missed a field goal,

10
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: although in Fox when they were showing the replay looked

11
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: like it may have been a poor hold. He also

12
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 2: made a fifty two yard field goal at halftime and

13
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: the Cardinals were down ten to nothing and made it

14
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: ten to three. Tampa Bay went up twenty to ten,

15
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: but Jacoby Brissette with a gorgeous run and fro to

16
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: Bam Night to make it a three point game. The

17
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: Cardinals had an opportunity. They had the ball back from

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: their nine yard line with about a minute fifty to

19
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: go one time out, and they ended up turning it

20
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: over on downs and lose this game. Despite per set

21
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: throwing for over three hundred yards again two touchdowns. He

22
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 2: did have an interception of this game. AQ, You've played

23
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 2: in a lot of close games. You coached here for

24
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers for a year. I know, when you go

25
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: back and look at the film, it's easy to say

26
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 2: that it's one or two plays. But it does feel like,

27
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 2: even though that is kind of trite, it is true

28
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: in this situation because it was the little mistakes by

29
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: the Cardinals in this game, and there weren't many of them,

30
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: but there were enough to cost them the game.

31
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no doubt about it.

32
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 4: I think when I think if you go back and

33
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 4: obviously it never comes down to these two or three plays, right,

34
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 4: There's so many more things that when you watch the

35
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 4: tape and you look back on this game that could

36
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 4: have been different. Right, But whenever you break it down

37
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 4: to the minute amount of plays of let's say three,

38
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 4: let's look at the misted, let's look at the Dorch

39
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 4: play on the final two minute drive, and then let's

40
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 4: look at the fourth and one call. I think those

41
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 4: are probably the three biggest plays, especially the missed field

42
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 4: goal that turned into a touchdown by Tampa. Then the

43
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 4: fourth down stop which turned into three points. I think

44
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 4: those were two of the biggest turning points in this game.

45
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 4: The Cardinals out gained Tampa by more than one hundred

46
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 4: yards in this game, but fall twenty to seventeen. Let's

47
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 4: bring in Paul.

48
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: We want to let people know here as we bring

49
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 2: Paul in, that we have some major technical difficulties that

50
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 2: are beyond our control. It is all based on the

51
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 2: setup here at Raymond James Stadium and the kind folks

52
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: here with the Buccaneers were trying to get it fixed.

53
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: It was on their end. They cannot get it fixed.

54
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: So unfortunately we're not going to be able to hear

55
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: from players or Jonathan Gannon so an abbreviated postgame show today.

56
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: But Paul, why don't you jump in here give us

57
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: your takeaways as you sow it down on the field.

58
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's that same word again. Details, Right, when you

59
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 5: are so close on the scoreboard, you look at how

60
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 5: close you are to making that one play if indeed

61
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 5: you are a play or two away. And that has

62
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 5: been the case. Seventh loss by four points or fewer

63
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 5: this year, which leads the NFL. So, whether it's the

64
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 5: hold on the missfield goal, and yes, ye had Chad

65
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 5: Ryland leaving the field and talking with special teams coordinator

66
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 5: Jeff Rodgers and going having a conversation with punter and

67
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 5: holder Matt Hawk, So they definitely had had a long conversation.

68
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 5: Whether it's mid fourth quarter and the Cardinals had fourth

69
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 5: and one at the thirty nine and that quick toss

70
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 5: to Bam Knight where they're attacking the edge and is

71
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 5: at the Vita vea factor right there instead of being

72
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 5: able to run through the tackles. That obviously was a

73
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 5: known come into this game, and that was part of

74
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 5: the game plan that when necessary they might run away

75
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 5: from big number fifty. But beyond that, it's only running

76
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 5: twenty four plays in the first half. It's not just

77
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 5: the very end of the game. It was coming out

78
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 5: being six to six passing and then all of a

79
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 5: sudden three a pair of three and outs by Jacoby Brisset.

80
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 5: It's it's the run of efficiency, which you had quite

81
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 5: a bit with Vam Knight and other times, and when

82
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 5: you got to have it moments it just wasn't there.

83
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 5: And it was a byproduct a lot of times with

84
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 5: some free hitters and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and that

85
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 5: Todd Bowles defense. They lead the NFL and unblocked pressures

86
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 5: and free hitters, free rushers, and the Cardinals knew that

87
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 5: they do things to try and get guys into the

88
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 5: face immediately of Jacoby Brissett, and that I obviously was

89
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 5: a factor. At the same time, Jacoby Brissett on the

90
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 5: sideline on the big touchdown drive that culminated with Trey

91
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 5: McBride and the touchdown that brought the Cardinals within striking distance,

92
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 5: you know it was Brissett. It was so instrumental in

93
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 5: getting guys fired up and then orchestrating that drive. So

94
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 5: once again, it's just those little things and that can

95
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 5: make it especially frustrating. And when trying to assess and analyze,

96
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 5: it's never just one thing, guys, and that seems to

97
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 5: be a theme, and I think that's what's vexing at times.

98
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 5: It's a moving target for the coaching staff to try

99
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 5: and assess all.

100
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: Obviously, this team came out and played well early on,

101
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 2: they fought, there was good energy. How did you see

102
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: that overall energy and juice from your vantage point down.

103
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 5: There, And you always wonder at this point in the

104
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 5: season you're out of the playoff race. It's just you know,

105
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 5: getting towards December and energy was really good. I mean,

106
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 5: you know, we wondered Bucky Irving leeds the NFL and

107
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 5: and miss tackles force just that percentage of breaking tackles.

108
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 5: And I thought, although although he was doing what he does,

109
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 5: it wasn't from a lack of effort or intensity. Guys

110
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 5: were fired up, even minus of Walter Nolan. You know,

111
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 5: Cody Simon, I think is still learning on the job

112
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 5: as a fourth round rookie. And there's a few times

113
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 5: where you know there's gap integrity, not just number fifty

114
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 5: but other guys, and that opened up some run lanes.

115
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 5: But his AQ has explained that Tampa offensive line is

116
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 5: one of the better ones in the NFC. And and

117
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 5: for the most part of that, the Cardinals, especially Josh

118
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 5: Sweat getting home and getting to Baker Mayfield, and you know,

119
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 5: he's never gonna throw in the white towel. He's going

120
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 5: to extend plays. And although he heard him a couple

121
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 5: of times, he had the big twenty plus yard run

122
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 5: in the first half. I thought the Cardinals made a

123
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 5: good set halftime adjustment. Jonathan Gann incited that coming off

124
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 5: the field, we cannot let Baker's legs hurt it. And

125
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 5: in the second half, you know, they pretty much remedied

126
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 5: that for the most part.

127
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: You mentioned sweat, he had two sacks on the other side, AQ,

128
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: it did appear that Jacoby Brissett was pressured a lot,

129
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: had to step up several times and either throw the

130
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 2: ball or try to run the ball. He got hit

131
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 2: a bunch in this game. I know. I'm sure when

132
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 2: you go back and watch film you'll have a better sense.

133
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 2: But in the moment, how did you think this offensive

134
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: line play today? They were able to run the ball

135
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: a decent amount and again they outgained Tampa Bay overall

136
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: in this game by over one hundred yards. Yeah, I

137
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 2: thought they ran it pretty well. It was nice to

138
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: see that.

139
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 4: I thought they ran some different run concepts than we've

140
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 4: been seeing all year. We've been seeing a lot of

141
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 4: the pool schemes with guard tackle counter guard, you know,

142
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 4: f which is a glorified tight end counter and this

143
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 4: this week they started to do a little bit more zone,

144
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 4: a little bit more toss scheme, try and get the perimeter,

145
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 4: which I think probably has something to do with Vitave

146
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 4: being up in the inside as well. But I also

147
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 4: think in terms of pass pro I don't think the

148
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 4: interior of the.

149
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 3: Bucks D line got home very much.

150
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 4: I know Vita got one sack, but that was when

151
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 4: he was lined up on Beacham at right tackle.

152
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 3: And then a lot of the pressure I.

153
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 4: Think comes on play action when you get the add

154
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 4: on guys. And when I say add on, if you're

155
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 4: a secondary or a linebacker responsible for a tight end

156
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 4: and that tight end stays in block and you're not

157
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 4: originally supposed to blitz, you can now add on to

158
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 4: that pressure. So I think that's what we were seeing

159
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 4: a lot today. I think they started to get a

160
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 4: beater tendency. Every time Josh Fryar was in the game

161
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 4: as an extra tight end. He's not going out on

162
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 4: a route, So now we can add on a pressure guy,

163
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 4: a secondary pressure or a linebacker pressure. And a lot

164
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 4: of that pressure came off the edge, and I think

165
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 4: I think whenever they do that, if you're gonna have

166
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 4: Josh Fryer come in, there has to be something other

167
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 4: than just play action pass off. Cardinals Locker Room Show

168
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 4: presented by Tim Holvick, santan Ford and Gilbert Right on

169
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 4: the Price. Right on the corner of the Sandtan two

170
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 4: h two four in val Vista All. I assume at

171
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 4: this point you don't have any injury updates. But just

172
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 4: late in the game, we did see Bitchelly come back

173
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 4: in on a kickoff return. Marvin Harrison Junior came in

174
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 4: the game that went out of the game. Didn't see

175
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 4: him on the field there at the end of the game,

176
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 4: so I assumed no update on him, and you said

177
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 4: it was a heel injury.

178
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 3: Right for Marvin Harrison the.

179
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 5: Info that gave us towards the end of the game,

180
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 5: heel returned questionable. Now even at that point he was

181
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 5: still on the field. He came off and went out again.

182
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 5: But at the very end of the game, that final possession,

183
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 5: he was not out there. So how much did that

184
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 5: dictate the Buccaneers coverages when eighteen wasn't out there? And

185
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 5: he obviously had a really nice game and he was

186
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 5: really effective through the first three quarters. I know at

187
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 5: the very end there after the turnover on downs which

188
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 5: decided the game with a few seconds to go, Trey

189
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 5: McBride staring at his shoe tops and you know, for

190
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 5: Trey McBride not to get a target on that final possession. Obviously,

191
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 5: that's a key guy that the Buccaneers are trying to

192
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 5: take away. But in those money moments, you want to

193
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 5: get it to your money players. And I know McBride

194
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 5: in that moment's probably thinking if there was a thought

195
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 5: bubble there, man, I would have loved to have had

196
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 5: a chance to impact the end of the game.

197
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: All right, guys, let's turn the page the next week.

198
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: You've got five games left. You were now guaranteed a

199
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 2: losing season. You're three to nine. Even if you win

200
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 2: five in a row, and look, we take five in

201
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 2: a row, that would mean great things for the future.

202
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 2: And just based on what we've seen, I don't think

203
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: there's any question the Cardinals are going to continue to

204
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: play very hard, and they still believe in Jonathan Gannon,

205
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: they still very much believe in Jacoby Brissett. So I

206
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 2: think you'll see the Cardinals play hard next week. But

207
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 2: they're also going to be playing as talented a team

208
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 2: as there is in football, and a ram team that

209
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: lost today for just the third time, falling to the Pantings. Yeah,

210
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: a team that's reeling, no doubt about it.

211
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 4: I mean, this is a team that everybody's been singing

212
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 4: their praises for as many weeks, and I a week

213
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 4: ago literally said, I think that's the best team in football.

214
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden, the Carolina Panthers come

215
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 4: out and they caused Matt Stafford to throw last I

216
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 4: looked at was two interceptions?

217
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 3: Is that what it finished with?

218
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 4: I think two, but also makes a decision on third

219
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 4: and ten late in the game where Derek Brown's about

220
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 4: to get a sack and he fumbles the ball away,

221
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 4: which basically that's how the game ended, and then Carolina

222
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 4: basically closed the game out. So this is a team

223
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 4: that has looked unbeatable, and all of a sudden they

224
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 4: come out and have their worst performance of the year

225
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 4: basically this week, And so they're gonna want to do

226
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 4: everything they can to right the ship next week, and

227
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 4: just so happens that the Cardinals are the team that

228
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 4: they're coming to face. Yeah, you mentioned the interceptions, and

229
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 4: one of those was returned for a touchdown, and the

230
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 4: Panthers won that game thirty one twenty eight, Bryce Young

231
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 4: with three touchdown passes. And so we'll see Stafford and

232
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 4: that excellent defense. Boy, the Rams have done such a

233
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 4: good job building that defense through the draft. Now, they

234
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 4: gave up twenty four points a day against seven were

235
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 4: scored by the defense, but for the defense for Carolina,

236
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 4: so just twenty four points by the offense. But when

237
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 4: you look at that ram defense, what's the biggest challenge

238
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 4: that the Cardinals will face there with an offensive line

239
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 4: that has struggled at times this year.

240
00:10:58,880 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's blocking the edge. Guy.

241
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 4: I think when you look at Young and Jared Verse,

242
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 4: they're absolute monsters on the edge. They got Fisk on

243
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,719
Speaker 4: the inside who's turned out to be a heck of

244
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 4: a football player, and then Landman. Obviously Landman's having a

245
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 4: heck of a year. I mean, this is a guy

246
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 4: that's really come on. He's a captain of their team.

247
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 4: He's got well over i think one hundred tackles at

248
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 4: this point. And their secondary they've really built up in

249
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 4: the last couple of years. So they've done a great

250
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 4: job building up that defense. Their O line is interesting

251
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 4: because there's really not a ton of guys off that

252
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 4: group where you would say, oh, they're a great offensive linemen,

253
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 4: but they play well as a group. They got three

254
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 4: really good tight ends as good as a receiver as

255
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 4: there isn't football on Devonte Adams and then Kyrin Williams

256
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 4: is a great back. So I mean Matthew Stafford is

257
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 4: playing the best of any quarterback in the league right now.

258
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 4: So this is obviously a great team when you say

259
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 4: it like that, and you say all the stuff that

260
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 4: they have on paper, probably is the best team.

261
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 3: They just didn't play their best today.

262
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 5: You know, Dave, I think the Rams twenty twenty four,

263
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 5: and I just think of quarterback on both sides. They'll

264
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 5: get to your quarterback, as AQ just explaining, and they'll

265
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 5: do it with a four man rush. They have talented

266
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 5: guys in the trenches along the front, and they have

267
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 5: the ability to drop seven. But then trying to get

268
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 5: to Matthew Stafford, whether it's the old line or not.

269
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 5: And they've done a decent job of rebuilding that old line.

270
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 5: And they had that one down year after they lost

271
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 5: Andrew Whitworth the left tackle, and they've seen since pivoted

272
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 5: and they've solidified that. But we all know Stafford and

273
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 5: his ability to read and react get rid of the ball.

274
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 5: You can try and get to him, but he'll get

275
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 5: rid of the ball before you do. And I think

276
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 5: that is what really stood out a year ago and

277
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 5: playing the Rams twice. Just his mastery of their offense,

278
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 5: his ability to read your defense. Now what the Cardinals

279
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 5: are doing was seven along the line of scrimmage, I

280
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 5: think has made it very difficult. The last couple of weeks.

281
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 5: You could see Baker Mayfield struggling at times, who's coming,

282
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 5: you know, who's dropping? And then with Buddha Baker and

283
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 5: Jalen Thompson interchanging back and forth. Man, it would have

284
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 5: been nice Jalen Thompson had both hands on that one

285
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 5: deep shot, could have come away with that interception. But

286
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 5: there's no doubt since the bye week the Cardinals have

287
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 5: been top five in blitz rate. So based on what

288
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 5: we've seen, at least on film and in these games,

289
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 5: Nick Rolis and Jonathan Gannon made a decided decision right

290
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 5: in that during the by saying, you know, we're gonna

291
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 5: dial it up a little bit more, we're gonna get

292
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 5: a little more aggressive, and it's yielded some pretty good

293
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 5: results and confused a couple of quarterbacks the last couple

294
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 5: of weeks.

295
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no doubt. Paul and I think the one

296
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 4: thing that's of note two of this Rams team, they

297
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 4: do not want Matthew Stafford to get sacked. So what

298
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 4: they do at the tops of the league of everybody

299
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 4: in the NFL right now is go under center, and

300
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 4: they play action almost as much as anybody in the NFL,

301
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 4: and they do that more often than not on first

302
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 4: and second down. Now third down, they'll take their chances

303
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 4: right and he might have an opportunity to get sacked,

304
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 4: but they do as good a job as anybody at

305
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 4: running it and play actioning on first and second downs.

306
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 2: So that's next week, but still a lot to talk

307
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 2: about with regard to this week and a twenty to

308
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 2: seventeen loss for the Cardinals against the Buccaneers, and you'll
