He's it again, 14 00:00:50,520 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 1: so more hurry magic whow Here's Craigcriolo. Long time I 15 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: have no see Danny. It's been a little while, I think, 16 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: not even twelve hours. 17 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,759 Speaker 3: I was just looking at the clock eight hours Soliday 18 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 3: was go to sleep, Craig. 19 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: And a lot has changed since then, not really, but 20 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: what has changed here is this is our first victory 21 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: Monday in quite a while. And you look back at 22 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: what happened On Sunday, Cardinals beat the Patriots thirty to seventeen, 23 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: snapped a three game losing streak, improved to seven and seven, and, 24 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 1: as Jonathan Gannon said postgame, stay relevant in the playoff hunt. 25 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: That's what was accomplished on Sunday. 26 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 3: All all the Cardinals can do is control what happens 27 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 3: on their field and get a win, and that's what 28 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 3: they did. Can't control what happens with Seattle or LA, 29 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 3: who they are fighting for the division against, and at 30 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 3: that point you're not even you're not even trying to 31 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 3: look at a wildcard spot just because of where some 32 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 3: other NFC teams are at their overall record and the 33 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 3: teams that are ahead of them in the hunt. Right 34 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 3: there are all teams that would have the head to 35 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 3: head tiebreaker over the Cardinals, So it's really just keep 36 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 3: it an on Seattle in LA. Good news for the Cardinals, 37 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,639 Speaker 3: Rams are still on their schedule, looking a little bit ahead. 38 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 3: Cardinals did what all they could do, which was get 39 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 3: a win against the Patriots. 40 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: We'll get into the details on what happened and maybe 41 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: some of the details on what didn't happen, but here 42 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: is the updated NFC West standings and shout out to 43 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers for beating the Seahawks on Sunday 44 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: Night Football, and that, by the way, did kind of 45 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: turn things over in the division. The Rams now lead 46 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: the NFC West because they have the head to head 47 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: with the Seahawks both teams eight and six, the Cardinals 48 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: at seven and seven, and the forty nine Ers at 49 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: six and eight, one in four within the division. And 50 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 1: as I mentioned on the NFL Kickoff show, I'm I'm 51 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: burying the forty nine ers. I mean, they're no longer 52 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: part of the playoff picture. 53 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 4: Yeah. 54 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 3: I said that on Cardinals Underground with Paul and Darren 55 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 3: a few weeks ago that I believe we are watching 56 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 3: the downfall of the forty nine ers as we have 57 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 3: known them the last couple of years. The players they 58 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 3: still need to pay, how much money they're gonna have 59 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 3: in the cap space in the next couple of years, 60 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 3: and just seeing the depth and the forty nine ers 61 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 3: just not be able to pull things off the way 62 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 3: they have in the last handful of years. You've got 63 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,119 Speaker 3: a linebacker that was just suspended for the last three 64 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 3: games because he quit on the team. I mean, what's 65 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 3: happening in that locker room for that to be okay, 66 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 3: not that it's okay, but for that to even be 67 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 3: a thought. So I'm right there with you. I think 68 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 3: the forty nine ers their window is not just closing 69 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 3: on a Super Bowl. I think it is shut. 70 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: Be very curious what that forty nine Ers team looks 71 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: like when the Cardinals play them in Week eighteen. Hopefully 72 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: that game means something for the Cardinals, because as we 73 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: sit here on this victory Monday, the Rams control their 74 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: own destiny. They went out, they win the division. Now 75 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: what you're looking for is with these three teams on one, 76 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: can the Seahawks lose some more games? They've got the 77 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: Vikings at the Bears and then at the Rams. That 78 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: could be a big game in Week eighteen between the 79 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: Rams and Seahawks. But the Rams are at the Jets 80 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: this week. May be Danny. Maybe Aaron Rodgers can do 81 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: us as solid. 82 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers doesn't do me any, Solids Craig. Every time, 83 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 3: every time I have chosen the Jets to win in 84 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 3: our Cardinals on the ground picks, they have lost. So 85 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 3: I don't I don't believe in the Rogers magic. 86 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna hope not. 87 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 3: To be a negative Nancy. 88 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be an optimist and see if maybe the 89 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: Rams lose before they play the Cardinals in LA in 90 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: week seventeen. That's the game that everyone is pointing to, 91 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: provided the Cardinals take care of their own business this 92 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: coming week at Carolina, which is always a difficult place 93 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: to play for whatever reason. For the Cardinals, You're not 94 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: gonna be there, so they're already without their good luck 95 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: charm you're missing. 96 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 3: It's always a wacky matchup, isn't it. Some Cardinals and Panthers. 97 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 3: What is it? 98 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 4: I know? 99 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: And now you get the Panthers playing a little bit 100 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: better football. They did not win on Sunday, but we'll 101 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: talk more about that as the week progresses here. So, yes, 102 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: this was a big game for the Cardinals as far 103 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: as beating a team, as we talked about all week long, 104 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: on paper, a more talented team than the New England Patriots. 105 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: But you have to execute, and for the most part, 106 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: the Cardinals did execute, although I think the final score 107 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: maybe not indicative of how well the Cardinals played. And 108 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: then some of the lapses, especially maybe late in the game, 109 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns scored by the Patriots in the 110 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, when the game I think was already probably decided. 111 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: And at that point, that defense, which we can discuss 112 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: right now, that defense continues to impress and continues to 113 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: lose players the fourth and fifth plays of the game. 114 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: Mac Wilson Senior knocked out of the game because of concussion, 115 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: Jesse Luketta knocked out of the game because of a 116 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: thigh injury. Neither one returned, and all of a sudden 117 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: five plays in your defensive quarter. To Nick Rallis, you're 118 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: you're looking to the bench, go all right, we're down too. 119 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: Someone's got to step up. 120 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 3: You have to respect the way the defense was able 121 00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 3: to immediately bounce back and have the emotion of their 122 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 3: teammate going down like that and being able to then 123 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 3: be emotionless out on the field and lock back in mentally. 124 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 3: Losing a player with the versatility of Mac Wilson Senior 125 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 3: is tough to try to come back around because he 126 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 3: doesn't just play the linebacker position. Wilson rushes off the 127 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 3: edge quite a bit. They move him around the field. 128 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 3: So when you've already got that rotation on the defensive 129 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 3: line and with your outside linebackers plus player like Wilson, 130 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 3: You're now having to adjust that. And then the next 131 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 3: play you lose Jesse Luketta, So there was having there 132 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 3: were adjustments having to be made in multiple different positions 133 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 3: from losing those two players. Not to mention with MacWilson 134 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 3: senior specifically, just the intelligence, the grit, the fight, the 135 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 3: motor he brings on every single play and he was 136 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 3: facing his former team, so that's hard as a teammate 137 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 3: to watch that go down. It was a very impressive 138 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 3: outing by the Cardinals defense to bounce back from that. 139 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 3: And although the Patriots of defense is not stellar, they 140 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 3: contained quarterback Drake May, who entry the game was using 141 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 3: his legs quite a bit. Not a great offensive line 142 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 3: for the Patriots. However, May was scrambling, he was picking 143 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 3: up a lot of runs, a lot of yardage that way, 144 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 3: and the Cardinals defense was able to contain him. They 145 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 3: had a really huge goal line stand third and one, 146 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 3: fourth and one stuffed the Patriots there, and then you've 147 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,119 Speaker 3: got that Sean Murphy bunting interception to kind of seal 148 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 3: the deal. So all in all, a good performance by 149 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 3: this Cardinals defense in more ways than one, and it 150 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 3: all started with that mental adversity of watching your teammates 151 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,679 Speaker 3: go down and back to back plays. 152 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: I didn't see it in real time. You did, and 153 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: it was jarring when you see a player get hit. 154 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: And it looked like on the one replay that I saw, 155 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: television did a good job of not going back to 156 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: the play because of how jarring it was, and you 157 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: never liked to see that from a player on either team. 158 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,040 Speaker 1: It did look like Mac Wilson got hit in the 159 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: helmet and indverten just one of those plays blitz pick up. 160 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: He got hit, immediately fell to the ground and then 161 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: you said you saw him get back up, or Zach 162 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: Gershman said he saw him kind of get back up 163 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: and then go back down to the ground. And that 164 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: point right there, I'm like, okay, it got serious real fast. 165 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: There was quick medical attention both teams. You could see 166 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: kind of circle around and wonder and then start praying, go, okay, 167 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: we hope Mac is okay. 168 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 4: Right. 169 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 3: You never want to see a player get hurt, and 170 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 3: especially when you're dealing with the head or the jaw 171 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 3: wherever it was that Wilson was hit and fell down. 172 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 3: Looked like he was a little stiff on that fall 173 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 3: there and two have immediately been ruled out with a concussion. 174 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 3: He was able to walk off on the field with 175 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 3: the help of trainers, which is a good sign. He 176 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 3: was tweeting after the game and his teammates were saying 177 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 3: how they were playing hard for him. That's a tough 178 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 3: thing to see, and you're right, you know that it's 179 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 3: series when players from both sides are down on one knee, 180 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 3: circled around in silence making sure that that player's okay. 181 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 1: By the way, Mack took to social media again and 182 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: Monday morning tweeted out the following, appreciate everybody for reaching out. 183 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: God got me covered hashtag back soon, So hopefully we 184 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: do see number two back on the field sooner rather 185 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: than later. And then, of course you lose an edge rusher. 186 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: We've seen Mac Wilson rush off the edge. You see 187 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: Jesse Lucetta knocked out of the game, another edge rusher. 188 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: But what we did see was Baron Browning Darius Robinson 189 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: pick up their first sacks for Robinson of his career, 190 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: for Browning of his career with the Arizona Cardinals, and 191 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: for the first time since Week two, I believe or 192 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: was it week four, No, it was week two. First 193 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: time since Week two an outside linebacker other than Zavi 194 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: and Collins played the most defensive snaps and that was Browning, 195 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: who had thirty snaps on defense. So I think he's 196 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: becoming more I wouldn't say reliable, but I think more comfortable. 197 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: We even heard JG postgame say that he's not thinking 198 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: out there. You're more reacting to what is happening in 199 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,199 Speaker 1: front of you. So again, statistically, you might not. He's 200 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: seen a lot from Browning outside of what we saw 201 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: on Sunday, But it's the role that he's being asked 202 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: to play within this defense that I think the coaches 203 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: really like what he has brought since being acquired. 204 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 3: And the role that's being asked if him is probably 205 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 3: pretty close to what he's giving right now. When you're 206 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 3: talking about thirty snaps, because you're using a rotation, and 207 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 3: that might have even been more after losing both Luketa 208 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 3: and Wilson, and you're right, with time, you just become 209 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 3: more comfortable. He was when he showed up here in Arizona. 210 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 3: He physically was game ready because he had been in Denver. 211 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 3: It wasn't like he'd been sitting on his couch. However, 212 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 3: you got to get used to the new scheme and 213 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 3: what the coaching staff is asking of you and all 214 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 3: of those things. So that makes sense that over time 215 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 3: he's getting more comfortable and we're seeing a little bit 216 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 3: more of Baron Browning. And again, I think when you 217 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 3: look at the defense as a whole of setting the edges, 218 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 3: and that goes beyond the outside linebackers. You look at 219 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 3: Drake May and he finished with just fourteen yards on 220 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 3: four carries and'sficantly lower than what he's been putting up 221 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 3: the last couple of weeks. And that was the key 222 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 3: going into the game. Patriots didn't have any standout receivers, 223 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 3: some tight ends who had done some good things, but 224 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,839 Speaker 3: really the key was keeping May in the pocket and 225 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 3: making sure he doesn't run all over you. And that's 226 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 3: what the Cardinals prevented, huge. 227 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: Key of the game. The longest run for May was 228 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: six yards in that game, and the Cardinals defensively did 229 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: not allow a third down for the first time all season, 230 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: zero of six. Now six third downs. That's not a lot, 231 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: but it does show you how many times the defense 232 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: was getting off the field and how few extended drives 233 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: the Patriots got because every time they went to third down, 234 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: defense says on that's it, offense, come back on the 235 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: football field. 236 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 3: Absolutely credit to the defense. Still have to look at it, though, 237 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 3: Craig of the Patriots. The Patriots are not a good team, right, 238 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 3: and that doesn't take away the win. That doesn't take 239 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 3: away the good things we saw and we're talking about 240 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 3: with this Cardinals team, but the fact that they were 241 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 3: only having they had six third down opportunities, right, It 242 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 3: goes both ways. So I don't want to sound like 243 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 3: a negative Nancy, and I don't want to sound like 244 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 3: I'm trying to rain on the parade, because I'm not. 245 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 3: There were a lot of good things, specifically by the 246 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 3: Cardinals defense that we saw. You do have to take 247 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 3: it into consideration, though, I think when you're looking at 248 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 3: the opponent of Drake May was really the only threat 249 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 3: they contained, and they did a great job there. The 250 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 3: Cardinals did what they should have done and what they 251 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 3: were expected to do. 252 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 1: They did just enough to win the game. And when 253 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: I say just enough, I mean you look at the 254 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: score and it's thirty to seventeen, and at one point 255 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: it was thirty to ten. And really one sided. But 256 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: the Cardinals did what they had to do on Sunday 257 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 1: in order to again, as Jag said postgame, stay relevant 258 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: within the playoff picture. And that's what we saw on Sunday. 259 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: By the way, one other player to shout out here 260 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: on defense before we talk about the offense, when we 261 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: talk about the next man up when someone goes down, 262 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 1: who comes in from the sideline. Chris Barnes, who has 263 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: been that backup if you will, to both Kaizer White 264 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: and Mac Wilson senior at inside linebacker. But that goal 265 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: line stand on third and one and fourth and one. 266 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: Officially Barnes in on both stops. He teamed with na 267 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: Kwan Jones on the third and one, and then he 268 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: and Kayzer teamed on the fourth and one to stop 269 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: Stevenson for no gain. And again, kind of you lose 270 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: sight of that unless you've been following this team all along, 271 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: because that's one of those it's one of those players 272 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: in that locker room that I'm sure would love to 273 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: have more playing time, but he is utilizing what playing 274 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: time he does get to make sure he again stays 275 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: relevant and is effective within this defense. 276 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 3: Barnes did it last year when Kayzer White went down 277 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 3: in Houston with that biceps injury that took him out 278 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 3: for the season, and then when Josh Woods went down 279 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 3: and it was Barnes who stepped up and he had 280 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 3: the green dot, which was something a little bit new 281 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 3: to him, and Barnes continues to step up. The situation 282 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 3: now is just a little different of White has earned 283 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 3: that top dog spot where he is calling the defense, 284 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 3: he is the leader there and Mac Wilson Senior just 285 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 3: brings such a different versatility and so that's why Barnes 286 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 3: has just kind of fallen as the third linebacker. However, 287 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 3: it is great to see that when his numbers called upon, 288 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 3: he can go in there and you don't have a 289 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 3: drop off and you're able to rely on him, especially 290 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 3: in those big time moments like that goal line stand 291 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 3: That is huge. 292 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, props to the defense, which we've been saying all 293 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: season long. Cardinals on Sunday go wired to wire. They 294 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: beat the Patriots thirty to seventeen. Two standouts offensively, James Connor, 295 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: Trey McBride. Where do you want to begin first? 296 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 3: Connor? 297 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: James Connor, as we've talked about plenty of times on 298 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: a number of different platforms. If James Connor is playing well, 299 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: then the offense more times than not, is moving the 300 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: football and more importantly, scoring points. And we see where 301 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: this offense is especially late in games when you need 302 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: a play to be made or when you want to 303 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: make sure you maintain possession of the football, that ball control. 304 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: If you will, you hand the ball off to James 305 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: Connor those last two scoring drives. Seven of his sixteen 306 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: rushing attempts and nine of his twenty one total touches 307 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: came on those final two scoring drives, in which he 308 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: ended both drives with one yard touchdown runs. 309 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 3: He continues to be the work course of this offense 310 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 3: and pick up those dirty runs, and when Connor does 311 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 3: get going, the rest of the offense seems to fall 312 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 3: into place. And the fact that he continues to find 313 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 3: the end zone is huge for an offense that has 314 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 3: struggled to do that the last couple of weeks, and 315 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 3: the fact that he found a way to do that 316 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 3: twice is great. The Cardinals did a really nice job 317 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 3: running the ball, and the offensive line played nicely. They 318 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 3: kept their quarterback upright and clean, something though that also 319 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 3: should be note of Connor's game Sunday is he went 320 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 3: five for five in the passing game twenty eight yards. 321 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 3: So to have a running back that you can rely 322 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 3: on as a pass catcher as well in those checkdown 323 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 3: situations is huge, and Connor set the tone had a 324 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 3: fifty three yard run his first carry of the game 325 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 3: to really put some spark into this offense. You really 326 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 3: can't quantify what he brings to this team, and he's 327 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 3: someone who continues to climb the franchise leader board in 328 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 3: a couple different areas. 329 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: He is now fifth all time on the rushing list, 330 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: third most rushing touchdowns with thirty six. And the good 331 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: news is he's gonna be here for a little while 332 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: longer two year contract extensions, so that is always good 333 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: to see. But yeah, this offense if, yeah, you need 334 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback. But the heart and soul of that 335 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: side of the ball is really James Connor when he's 336 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: involved in both the run and pass game. That stat 337 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: now that we can continue to say has improved to 338 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: six and two. The Cardinals are six and two when 339 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: James Connor has at least one hundred yards from scrimmage, 340 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: whether that's rushing or receiving. He had one hundred and 341 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: ten rushing yards by himself. That's the fifth time this 342 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: season he's eclipped that century mark as far as rushing 343 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: yards on the ground. But yeah, when James Connor is 344 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: going well, this Cardinals offense is going well. Now, if 345 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: we could just get the Cardinals passing offense to be 346 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 1: a little bit more consistent, we'll get the trade McBride 347 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: in a moment. But if you're looking for something in 348 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: which this team can improve upon moving forward and hopefully 349 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: improve next week in Carolina, it is the passing game, 350 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: and not just the more specifically, I should say it's 351 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: the downfield passing game. Those deep shots. They are taking 352 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: deep shots. They're just not connecting on those deep shots. 353 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 3: The deep shots. Though, when you say they're taking them, 354 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,360 Speaker 3: that's not consistent the last couple of weeks. You can 355 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 3: say that from Sunday, sure, but it's not like they've 356 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 3: been taking a lot of deep shots the last couple 357 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 3: of weeks. And what is interesting is more times than not, 358 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 3: at this point in the season, it's been the passing 359 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 3: game that we've talked about on offense as it needs 360 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 3: to get going. When you got to the middle of 361 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 3: the season, it was it was there, it was just 362 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 3: a little consistent. When you're looking at the Rams game, 363 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 3: looking at the Dolphins and the Jets and these games 364 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 3: where the Cardinals really dominated in every aspect offensively. Now 365 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 3: you're at the point where it's okay, how come it's 366 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 3: really not there on a consistent basis. And I will 367 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 3: give credit that Kyler Murray was looking for Marvin Harrison 368 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 3: Junior quite a bit, but I mean cornerback Christian Gonzalez 369 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 3: had a great game against Harrison. I believe Harrison only 370 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 3: had one reception when he was going up against Gonzales 371 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 3: in the game, which tells you a lot. And there 372 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 3: were not penalties, so that tells you how clean and 373 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 3: how tight the coverage really was. So I do give 374 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 3: credit that, Yeah, they were taking shots and it was 375 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 3: really good defense. You still need to find the way though, 376 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 3: to get it done. We saw a spark from Greg 377 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 3: Dortch that we haven't really seen, although those were more 378 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 3: short passes dorts which is able to duke a defender 379 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 3: and use his legs. The fumble which was recovered in 380 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 3: the end zone for a touchdown was with the motion. 381 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 3: It was a jet sweep, which I like, we don't 382 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 3: see a lot of motion pre snap by this offense. 383 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 3: So there's a couple of good things you can take 384 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 3: away from the passing game here. It is still just curious, though, 385 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 3: is when you're looking at your receivers who had the 386 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 3: most receptions, it's Trey McBride, James Connor, Greg Dortch, Tip Ryman, 387 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 3: and Tip Ryman had the same amount of receptions too 388 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 3: as Michael Wilson and Marvin Harrison Junior as your top 389 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 3: two receivers, And so that's where you're thinking, how do 390 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 3: we get them more involved? And is it changing the routes? 391 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 3: Is it changing the plays because you do need them 392 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 3: more involved. 393 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 1: The best Marvin Harrison junior play was him coming across 394 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: the middle and then using his speed his legs to 395 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: go twenty three yards. That was his best play. And 396 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: I would love to see a little bit more of 397 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: that out of this passing game as opposed to just 398 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: go downfield, turn around, jump for the football, but utilize 399 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: his ability and the openness underneath, Especially with how well 400 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: Trey McBride is playing, that middle is open not just 401 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: for the tide but for receivers as well, and I 402 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 1: just don't think we're seeing that enough. I did enjoy 403 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 1: though the matchup, the one on one matchup between he 404 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: and Christian Gonzales. Say what you want about how physical 405 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 1: it was. Marvin needs to be more physical. It was 406 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: too physical. Should have been a penalty called. It was 407 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 1: matchups of two young players that if they were in 408 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: the same division or same conference, this would be something 409 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: that you would look forward to on a yearly basis 410 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: when you have a number one wide receiver and a 411 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: number one cornerback. Made the best man win and more 412 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: times not on Sunday, it was Christian Gonzalez who got 413 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: the better of Marvin. Now you look back, okay, say 414 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: why why was that happening? Well, can Marvin be a 415 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 1: little bit more physical? Does he have to have stronger hands? 416 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 1: Is the past getting to him where it needs to be? 417 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: One of those throws on third down was underthrown and 418 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: another one listening to passion Wolf describe it. Wolf thought 419 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: that should have been a little bit more air under 420 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: the football and it was too horizonn and too easy 421 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 1: for the defender to kind of get a hand on 422 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: the football. So it's happening, to your point, we are 423 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: seeing those deep shots more on Sunday than we've had 424 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 1: in recent weeks, which is fine, Okay, now you're calling them. 425 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: Now you got to make sure you're finishing off those plays. 426 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 3: And again they were trying. Harrison had six targets, two receptions. 427 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 3: He had six targets, so I understand it can be 428 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 3: frustrating of him not hauling those in. You can't say 429 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 3: this week that they weren't trying. Now, can they try 430 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 3: different things maybe than some of the similar routes we 431 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 3: continue to see. I'm right there with you. I would 432 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 3: like to see him across the field a little more. 433 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 3: We saw a lot of that in Miami, and that 434 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 3: was a game that Harrison Junior popped off. So I'm 435 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 3: a little surprised unless it's just really based upon the 436 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 3: defenses they're going against that we haven't seen it as 437 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 3: consistently as we did against the Dolphins. 438 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: You mentioned the fumble recovery, big man touchdown. 439 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 3: Love those. 440 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: John Williams with the fumble recovery in the end zone 441 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: after Greg George fumble the foot ball forward, which is 442 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: now the second time we've seen this this season. JOHNA. 443 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: Williams doing something that we saw Trey McBride do earlier 444 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: in the year, and that is recover a football in 445 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: the end zone. By the way, Jonah Williams, we had 446 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: a chance to hear from on Monday morning here on 447 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: this victory. Monday was also the postgame guest Paul Calvis 448 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: on the Cardinals Locker Room Show, and want to play 449 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: a little bit of that for you right now here 450 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: on Cardinals Cover two. First question, though, did he keep 451 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: the football? 452 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 4: One of our equipment guys got in. They're gonna paint 453 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 4: it up and give it back to me as a 454 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 4: little momento, which is really cool. So shout out equipment guys. 455 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 5: You were the man in the hour when you came 456 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 5: to the sideline. What sort of feedback did you hear 457 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 5: from the fellows after you scored. 458 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,360 Speaker 4: It's just funny, man, because o line, you're just doing 459 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 4: your job quietly all game and then kind of ball 460 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 4: just falls your way and you fall on all of 461 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 4: a sudden. You're a hero. But it was cool, man. 462 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 4: I love seeing I love seeing that excitement on the sideline. 463 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 4: Every person said said congrats and stap me up and everything. 464 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 4: So that was a lot of fun. 465 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 5: What was your excitement level like once you saw a 466 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 5: loose ball in the end zone? 467 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 4: It was sort of just like Seaball get ball. 468 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 3: You know. 469 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 4: I was running out there and it's you know, that's 470 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 4: something JG talks about a lot. It's just like mode 471 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 4: of play and finish, and so just saw a ball sprinted. 472 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 4: There's another guy coming with me, so it just kind 473 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 4: of dove and I didn't I didn't really know what 474 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 4: happened until about forty five seconds later and people explained 475 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 4: it to me. I was like, oh, what is I 476 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 4: didn't know how that works? 477 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,400 Speaker 5: So and then you had to hit the oxygen as well, right, Yeah, 478 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:25,719 Speaker 5: I was. 479 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 4: I was pretty gas man. That was max effort there. 480 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 4: I was hitting you know, hitting max speeds. 481 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 5: Don't have any performance incentives or bonuses for touchdowns in 482 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 5: year contract, do you No. 483 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 4: And it's actually going to be a fine in the 484 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 4: O line room. So it's actually sort of a negative. 485 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 4: But it's worth it. It's worth it for the glory. 486 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: That's amazing. 487 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 5: Tell us about the run game. James Connor had one 488 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 5: hundred and ten. If I saw correctly, as an offense, 489 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 5: you had one fifty two. You know, how key is that? 490 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: And where did that start? 491 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 5: Tonight? 492 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:54,719 Speaker 4: That's a I mean, that's a big part of it 493 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 4: of when we have success as a team as we're 494 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 4: able to run the ball and we have a great 495 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 4: back in James. Her whole stable backs is great. Kyler 496 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 4: you know, always makes plays with his feed. So when 497 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 4: we're when we got the ball going, we're running the ball. Well, 498 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 4: just opens up everything for us. And you know, I 499 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 4: thought James did a great job hammering it and we 500 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 4: did a pretty good job up front. And that's how you 501 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 4: that's how you take control of the game. 502 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 5: Last question, attitude and mindset of this team right now. 503 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 5: I made the you know, look, you guys are no 504 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 5: longer in the driver's seat. You're running shot riding shotgun 505 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 5: at this point. But if you went out, you know, 506 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 5: I mean, what is the mindset here? With three games 507 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 5: to go? I mean, we just have to win every week. 508 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 4: It's it's kind of cliche, but that's that's all we 509 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,479 Speaker 4: can control right now. Obviously we're disappointed we didn't get 510 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 4: it done last weekend Seattle, but you got to flush 511 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 4: that and move on. And you know, we had to 512 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 4: come out and get a big win against New England 513 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 4: and we did that and now you know, we're going 514 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 4: to take a trip over to Carolina and we have 515 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 4: to do the same thing, So just kind of put 516 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 4: your head down and grind it out week by week. 517 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 5: You have a trophy case for the ball. Do you 518 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 5: already have a spot picked out where you're gonna put 519 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 5: this ball and once it's it's out from lock and key. 520 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 4: I don't. I wasn't planning on having a touchdown ball, 521 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 4: so I don't have any room for it, but I'll 522 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:56,640 Speaker 4: make room. 523 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: Thank you, Jones, Thank you. I wasn't planning on having 524 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: a touchdown ball, is what Jonah Williams told Paul at 525 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: the end of that interview, and we heard again on 526 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: Monday that one he doesn't physically have the football in 527 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: his hands at the moment, it's in the hands of 528 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: the equipment staff. They will paint it up, make it 529 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: nice for that first career touchdown, not only on the 530 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: pro level, but the college level, high school level, first 531 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: time since he was in sixth grade scoring a touchdown 532 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 1: by the way, Azycardinals dot Com Darren Urban with a 533 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: great write up on that because Jonah Williams post game 534 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: was very descriptive on that sixth grade touchdown that he 535 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 1: was able to score and why now he is an 536 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: offensive lineman as opposed to a running back. 537 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 3: Williams had a good point. Typically, when the ball is 538 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 3: in an offensive lineman's hands, it is not a good thing. 539 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 3: So the fact that he had the spatial awareness to 540 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 3: jump on that ball keep his body in bounds to 541 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 3: prevent it from becoming a touchback and losing possession of 542 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 3: the ball was huge. He said that the weight time 543 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 3: of the officials reviewing it to make sure it was 544 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 3: touchdown wasn't very long for him. I felt like five 545 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 3: very long minutes, So very exciting when when a player 546 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 3: who doesn't have that opportunity often does. Look the Chiefs 547 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 3: are a great example. Sometimes you just need a little luck. 548 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 3: You don't want to be in a position where you 549 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 3: are losing the football. Though twice now this year the 550 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 3: Cardinals have fumbled the ball and it's been recovered in 551 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 3: the end zone. Jonah Williams had this one. Trey McBride 552 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 3: recovered it for a touchdown after a James Connor fumble 553 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 3: at home earlier in the season. You don't want to 554 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 3: lose the ball. You want to protect it. However, if 555 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 3: you need a little luck, which also happened on what 556 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 3: at one point was considered a Kyler Murray interception and 557 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 3: was overturned because it was a roughing the passer call 558 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 3: a little luck on your side. 559 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 1: You don't apologize for those moments, because, yeah, it is 560 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: hard to go seventeen games without the benefit of a 561 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: little luck or the ball bouncing your way into the 562 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 1: arms of Jonah Williams, or all of a sudden, an 563 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: interception is overturned, by the way, not a smart decision 564 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 1: on Kyler's part, and he would admit it as much 565 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: as well postgame Sunday, because I understand you're trying to 566 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 1: make a play, but deepen your own end. If that 567 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: ball is picked off, it's sixteen to three, you had 568 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 1: just stopped them on downs. I know JG doesn't believe 569 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: in momentum, but everything was in your favor. All of 570 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: a sudden, you're going to give it back to the 571 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 1: Patriots for a second time. It's sixteen to three, they 572 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: score sixteen to ten, a completely different second half than 573 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: what we saw to finish out the rest of the game. 574 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: So yeah, value the football. We've been talking about it 575 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: now since the bye week, and Joana Williams valued the football. 576 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: His mode of play, didn't question that falling on the football, 577 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: making sure he stayed inbounds to secure that football, because 578 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,360 Speaker 1: that ball is ruled out of bounds. It's the Patriots football. 579 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 1: So again, some of those plays happen. You don't apologize 580 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: for him, but some of that you make it your 581 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: own luck as well, especially with Jonah Williams. 582 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 3: Absolutely, and he was close by, He saw the ball 583 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 3: and made the right decision, so glad it panned out 584 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 3: for him. 585 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: The other offensive standout Trey McBride, who still has yet 586 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 1: to have a receiving touchdown. He does have two touchdown. 587 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: I want to make that clear because I keep seeing 588 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: and reading that he has no touchdowns this season. He 589 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 1: has no receiving touchdowns. He does have a rushing touchdown 590 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: and a fumble recovery for a touchdown. At some point, 591 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 1: I think Trey is going to get into the end zone. 592 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: There are three games left. Though there is a part 593 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 1: of me, Danny considering the eighty nine receptions and more 594 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: than nine hundred receiving yards. It's an odd stat but 595 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: to finish an entire season as your leading receiver receptions, 596 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: receiving yards and then to say, yeah, but I didn't 597 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: score touchdown, do you wear that as a badge of honor. 598 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 3: I don't know about Badge of honor. There have been 599 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 3: a few close tries, one of them Sunday with the 600 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 3: shovel pass when McBride was stopped the one yard line. 601 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 3: He I learned he set the NFL record for most 602 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 3: receptions without a receiving touchdown, which is it's crazy. I 603 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 3: had a chance to talk with him postgame is the 604 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 3: postgame report interview, and I'd asked him what else he 605 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 3: has left in him because he broke his own record 606 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 3: that he set last year, which was franchise record for 607 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 3: most receptions by tight end in a single season, And 608 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 3: asked what more does he have in him the last 609 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,719 Speaker 3: couple of games, and he left and said hopefully, hopefully 610 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 3: some touchdowns. So you know that he wants to find 611 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 3: the end zone, although obviously the main goal is a 612 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 3: team win. And despite not finding the end zone, I 613 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 3: know you say the rushing touchdown and the fumble recovery. 614 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 3: Big picture though, Craig, he really hasn't found the end 615 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 3: zone for what you're looking for from a tight end. 616 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: So what is what is the job of a tight 617 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: end to catch the run the ball? 618 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 3: Here's what's crazy. Is he the passing game still runs 619 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 3: through McBride. There's no question about that. He is the 620 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 3: most reliable receiver. He has strong hands, he gets open, 621 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 3: he refuses to go down on first contact more times 622 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 3: than not, refuses to go down with just one defender 623 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 3: on him. He really is what moves the chains, and 624 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 3: you can tell it typically takes a little bit of 625 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 3: time to get McBride involved, which is interesting because those 626 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 3: are the scripted plays and he usually is not involved 627 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,719 Speaker 3: heavily early in the game. It's really when you're off 628 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 3: script and it's the second half and you continue to 629 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 3: find McBride and just chuck the ball to him because 630 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 3: that's what's going to work at that time. 631 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,479 Speaker 1: Nine catches, eighty seven yards, he was targeted ten times. 632 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: He is going to finish with one hundred receptions and 633 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: one thousand receiving yards this season. That I can guarantee, 634 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: not on what as long as Trey McBride stays healthy 635 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,959 Speaker 1: for these final three games, but to your point, as 636 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: far as what kind of catches he's making if he's 637 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: not scoring touchdowns, okay, but Kyler Murray is looking at 638 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: Trey McBride on third down. If I remember correctly, four 639 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: of his nine receptions on Sunday came on third down 640 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: that were back to back third and four conversions late 641 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: in that game to make sure the offense stayed on 642 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: the football field. By the way, ten to fifteen on 643 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: third down overall for the offense. But when this team 644 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: needs a play to be made in the passing game, 645 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: the number one target, the number one reliable player pass 646 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: catcher is Trey McBride, And that's something that do you 647 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: want out of your tight end. Well, the Raiders have it, 648 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: Rock Bowers, the Chiefs have it, Travis Kelce. There's no 649 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: reason why you can't have your tight end be your 650 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: number one pass catcher, even though he's not a number 651 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 1: one wide. 652 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 3: Receiver, especially when the player is as good as McBride is, 653 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 3: and he really has become more of that complete tight end. 654 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 3: That was his goal from the beginning of the season, 655 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 3: when being becoming a better blocker and keeping defenses on 656 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,479 Speaker 3: their toes a little bit more. He finished he had 657 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 3: nine receptions on ten targets. He is incredibly reliable and 658 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 3: I don't have a problem if he's your leading receivers 659 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 3: because otherwise you're we're back to talking about the passing game. 660 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 3: When looking at the receivers when what's been working in 661 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 3: the passing game has been with your tight end, and 662 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 3: if that's what's working, stick with it. 663 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: So no touchdown, no receiving touchdowns, though he does speak 664 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 1: to you postgame. That matters, right, that's sure feather in 665 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: his cap. Yes, how about another one? I thought we 666 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: would give since Paul's not here and by the way, 667 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: he's quote unquote hon assignment. He'll be back Wednesday that 668 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: we leave. Well, we didn't lose Paul like we did 669 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: lose him after Minnesota. We know where Paul is. But 670 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: the Angry Bird Award, I think it deserves to go 671 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 1: to Trey McBride. He can't score a touchdown receiving, but 672 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: we can't hand him the Angry Bird Award. 673 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 3: I would agree with that. That feels very fitting and 674 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 3: he's very well deserved of that. It's probably right up 675 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 3: there with the Walter Bayne Man of the Year nominee. 676 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 3: If I had a guess, I would. 677 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: Think, so this is something that Tray can go into 678 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: the offseason. He's eligible for a con tracked extension. He 679 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: can sit tell his agent go here are my numbers. 680 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: And also, by the way, it's not going to show 681 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: up in the statue. But I was a Angry Bird 682 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: Award winner for Week fifteen. You were no Trey. Oh, 683 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: I see what you're saying. 684 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 3: From his personal perspective, Yeah, you threw me off there. 685 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: Yes, I think it could be part of his resume. 686 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, let his agent know. 687 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: I'm sure Trey really appreciates that. 688 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,479 Speaker 3: That can become a new incentive in his next time. 689 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 1: He there you go. I've got to get permission. It 690 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: is kind of Paul's thing. He started it, so we've 691 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: got to give credit. Wor care that's true. It would 692 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: be hysterical though. It's like ninety three catches, one hundred 693 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: and ten yards, no touchdowns, but one Angry Bird Award. 694 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 3: Here's an extra thousand dollars. 695 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: Well, that's that's pretty generous. All good Cardinals again. Get 696 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: the win seven and seven on the road at Carolina. 697 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: No Danny surrect though in Carolina. 698 00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 4: I know. 699 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 3: I'm sorry to let you down. I will not be there, 700 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 3: So you guys will be okay without me. 701 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: Hopefully the team will be okay without you. Very good 702 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: reason why she's not there. Team will be okay. Content, 703 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: team will be okay. I think I'll have to see 704 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,240 Speaker 1: if Zach Gershman's up to fill the shoes of Danny Surrek. 705 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 1: I don't know, but we will wait and see. 706 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 3: Only time will tell. 707 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,839 Speaker 1: Give him some advice this week, please, It's first road trip, 708 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: I think for young Zach. 709 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 3: I believe so oh boy. Two days in Carolina. 710 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 1: Fingers crossed on that one. On that note, we will 711 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: put a lid on this edition of Cardinals Cover two 712 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,320 Speaker 1: presented by Hundai, proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals.
