13
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: oh after defeating the Brown thirty seven fourteen Sunday six

14
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: and oh for the first time since nineteen seventy four.

15
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: For this franchise, there's lots of discuss on this team

16
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: and their win through all the adversity that they went there.

17
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: We're going to cover all of that. Welcome into the

18
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,839
Speaker 1: Cardinals Red Sea Report. Two names in that intro are here.

19
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: Today Mike Jarecki, former Arizona Cardinal quarterback Drew standing. I'm

20
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: Danny Serek filling in for Craig Griolu. We welcome you

21
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 1: in to the Red Sea Report. There was a lot

22
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: of adversity, to say the least, in this game. Let's

23
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: go through the list real quick of who the Cardinals

24
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: were without head coach, offensive coordinator slash play caller Cliff Kingsbury,

25
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach Cam Turner. Three defensive players linebacker Chandler Jones,

26
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: defensive lineman Zach Allen, and defensive lineman Corey Peters were

27
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: all out with COVID and then on the offensive side

28
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: of the ball, starting center Ronnie Hudson, who's on IR

29
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: with the ribs and shoulder injury. Despite all of those

30
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: players and coaches being gone, the teams still managed to

31
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: get their sixth straight win. Drew. What was the most

32
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: impressive part of Sunday's one for you? Well, I think

33
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: it's a couple of things, but it's this common theme

34
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: that keeps showing up. It's limiting the amount of turnovers,

35
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: winning that turnover battle, which is huge we talk about

36
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: each and every week within the game, within the game

37
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: and where they got those turnovers. Giving the ball to

38
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: their offense in the red zone was fantastic. Distributing the

39
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: ball to all of the playmakers. They have rob touched

40
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: on it before the game, Frederickson of saying, even Christian Kurt,

41
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: because you started mentioning names and targets and you didn't

42
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: even mention Max Williams, who has been a big part

43
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: of it. So all of these guys are putting their

44
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: hand in the pile and carrying it on. And the

45
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: other thing that just is so apparent is Vance Joseph's

46
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: effect on this defense because these guys are playing with effort.

47
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: They're going out there and Marcus Golden and everybody's flying around. Yes,

48
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna miss a caliber of talent like Chandler Jones.

49
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: But when you're collectively rallying to the ball and doing

50
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: that and then breaking the will of the team and

51
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: making the most important thing and taking that away from

52
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: the team you're going against, they have to divert and

53
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: they don't have a plan. B Srew. You know, we

54
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: know that Kingsbury was at practice all week. He put

55
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: the game plan in obviously the scripted place, but a

56
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: different voice in Kyler's here with Spencer Whipple. How difficult

57
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: is that because you want to keep the same cadence

58
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: as the head coach was doing. And I think Cliff

59
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: picked him because he's very aware of some of their

60
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: airring concepts. What was it like for Kyla's hearing a

61
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: different voice, Well, I think it's so muffled that really

62
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: it sounds the same. You know, you could have anybody

63
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: in there, and I remember the different people that I've

64
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: had over the time. It's so muffled that it's sometimes

65
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 1: hard to pick up. But in saying that, you see

66
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: you the guy and you want the right temperament. You

67
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: don't want to guys yelling too loud, or the plays

68
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: got to come in efficiently. And there are some hiccups

69
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: that happen throughout the course of the game, but that's

70
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: to be expected. Nothing major, you know, nothing that really

71
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: cost them or did any of those things. And again,

72
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: when they were able to get in the red zone,

73
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: have a plan. All of the pieces are already in place, right,

74
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: and you go through the game plan, and you go

75
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: through Friday's practice and you feel good about everything from

76
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: the physical standpoint, the mental preparation, and unfortunately Cliff wasn't

77
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: there to call it, but he can still have so

78
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: much endpoint, even Saturday and Sunday leading up to the

79
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: game of making sure that he's kind of you know,

80
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: cross on those teams and got in those eyes to

81
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: make sure Kyler's extremely comfortable. And even Kyler said postgame, hey,

82
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: I had a little bit more freedom, which is great.

83
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: And then the third year of this offense, that's really

84
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: what you want to do is be able to play

85
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 1: the game through the quarterbacks lenses and adjust to what's

86
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: going on. And it was remarkable Cliff Kingsbury did get

87
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: through the whole week tested positive Friday evening, I believe.

88
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: Do you think it was more helpful that this team

89
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: had such a short notice, knowing that the coaching staff

90
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: was going to have to change in the sense that

91
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: they didn't have a you know, all week to stress

92
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: or worry about it. That's a great question, you know.

93
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: I think for me from my standpoint and being a player,

94
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: sometimes you like to get into the routine, you like

95
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: to the habit, and so I think the fact that

96
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: the most important day is that Wednesday, and that Thursday

97
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: the install was already in place, and Friday, you're just

98
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: buttoning things up, and then you get the news and

99
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: then it becomes okay, well we're without him, which is

100
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, that's a big loss. It is, But at

101
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: the same time, there's enough leadership around here to be

102
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: able to overcome that. In such quality play from the quarterback,

103
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: he's seeing the field and being able to disperse the ball.

104
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: The game plan is already in place, and you know

105
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 1: there's probably a lot of coaches out there they're going

106
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: to scoff at this, but you know, it's not about

107
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: you know, what makes good coaching as good players, and

108
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: you see that firsthand, and it's about the Jimmies and

109
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: then Joe's not the exes and the Ohs, and there

110
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: was great collaboration between you know, even Chris Traveler or

111
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: Kyler mentioned we know Colton McCoy has been a big

112
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: infuence on Kyler Murray. And then you have Sean Coogler

113
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: out there and James Saxon and Steve Hyden. So it

114
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: looks like it was a effort from the offense. And

115
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: I was anticipating early in the game that they're gonna

116
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: have to burn some time out. It's just because you're

117
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: you're shuffling players in and out. But we didn't see

118
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: that in the second half, and so that was good

119
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: where you're not shooting yourself in the foot or getting

120
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: behind the sticks. Well, and I think too even more

121
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: so to your point to close that out in the

122
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, however long that drive was where they just

123
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: they shoved it down their throat and they were able

124
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: to establish that formative style of offense, which everybody wants

125
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: to call this an air raid style of offense. This

126
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: isn't an air raid. This is just a lot of

127
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: talent amassed on a football field. And so within being

128
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: able to do that, now you add that dimension of

129
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: James Connor and they are coming downhill at you, and

130
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: you know you saw them take the will of that

131
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns defense. Those guys quit, they tapped out midway

132
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: at midfield. Those guys didn't want to play football anymore.

133
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: They're already thinking about Thursday night. So when you have

134
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: the capability of doing that, on top of spreading everybody

135
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: out and doing that, I mean, that's where I think

136
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: the collaborative effort of Sean Cooler saying, hey, we need

137
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: to do this advanced Joseph defense and minded, Okay, you

138
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: break the will of that defense, the game's arts to

139
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: be had, and Vans, having been a head coach, understanding

140
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: all of those things, how to manage that it worked seamlessly.

141
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: They couldn't have been more pieces in place to be

142
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: able to overcome these types of obstacles early on, and

143
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: again it's just another way that you have to try

144
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: and find a way to win a football game in

145
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: the on the road. Early on in the season, it

146
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: was defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, an assistant head coach, and

147
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: special teams coordinator Jeff Rogers who split the head coaching responsibilities.

148
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: While Kingsbury was not there in person, he did get

149
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: to FaceTime and celebrate with the team in the locker room.

150
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: Let's hear from that locker room in the postgame speech

151
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: with Vance Joseph and Cardinal's owner Michael Bidwell. That is awesome. Okay,

152
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: that's a great, great team win. Guys. It all three phases, man,

153
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: This is part of the story, right, It's part of

154
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: the story. Man, leadership, awesome all week, guys, No one wavered,

155
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: no one blinks moving forward, man, don't change that. It's

156
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: working on my guys. You know, I don't speak after games,

157
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: but obviously with Cliff not here, he's on FaceTime right here.

158
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: What you guys did today was extraordinary and special shout outs.

159
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: Spencer did an incredible jacket VJ coach Coops. I mean,

160
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: so many, how many incredible odds stacked against us for

161
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: what we just went through and what we all just

162
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: experienced and what I experienced. But what it came down

163
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: to was the amazing character in this locker room, in

164
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: the amazing leadership in this locker room, and you guys

165
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: sticking together. And for those reasons, everybody, staff and players

166
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: get a game ball. Everyone got a game ball in

167
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: that locker room. Who gets your game ball? Though? Drew

168
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: one person. Oh that's a good question. I mean, I

169
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: think it was such a group effort, a collective win.

170
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: But I think you just look at Kyler, right, everything

171
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: kind of falls on his shoulders. The two most important

172
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: games of the year, this one in the Rams game,

173
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: zero turnovers, and you look at what he's capable of

174
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: doing and dispersing the ball and the efficiency in the

175
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: red zone. I think that's another thing that just continues

176
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: to stand out to me, is they're not settling for

177
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: field goals. They're converting this and it's not one guy

178
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: scoring touchdowns. It's Christian Kirk, it's you know, aj Green,

179
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: It's obviously down to Hopkins who made ten people miss

180
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: on that touchdown. And they're running the ball. They're just

181
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: so balanced and so efficient. But it has to come

182
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: through the lens of the quarterback being able to see

183
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: all these things and allow things to kind of transpire

184
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: and not getting greedy. I'll tell you what, and you

185
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: know this better than I do. This team will go

186
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: as far as Kylo Murley will take them. And the

187
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: way he's playing, I'm not surprised that they went in

188
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: there and they dominated this game. Now, if you would

189
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: ask me before the season. As you know, the Browns

190
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: have a really talented roster. They've hit on a lot

191
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: of high draft picks. But when you don't have your

192
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: starting tackles, you miss your top running back there or

193
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: origin one hundred and eighty five yards on the ground.

194
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: They shut down Kareem Hunt and really Odell Beckham. Jarvis

195
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: Lange wasn't out there. Were you surprised that the Cardinals

196
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: dominated like they did against the Browns? No, I wasn't

197
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: surprised because I think if you look at at what

198
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: they've been doing against similar type of offenses, right, Like,

199
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: they just needed to shore up everything in that RAMS

200
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: game and be able to not let those gaps in

201
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: those long runs to transpire. But it's very similar to Tennessee.

202
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 1: They want to run the ball and they want to

203
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: play good defense and not turn the ball over. You

204
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: force them into an uncomfortable situation where they have to

205
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: throw the ball in an intermediate drop back passing game.

206
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: That's not who they want to be, that's not how

207
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: they've done it. And so when you force them to

208
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: get out of that, hey, we want to try and

209
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 1: run the ball and run the ball and wear you

210
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: down and then be able to do that. It's very

211
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: difficult because offenses like that aren't capable of flipping a switch.

212
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: And when Donovan People's Jones is your best wide receiver

213
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: on Sunday, that's a huge win because quite honestly, the

214
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals have four better wide receivers from him alone,

215
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: right that you would probably pick over that. So when

216
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: you are talking about that kind of discrepancy and talent

217
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: on the field, you're starting to expect this, and I

218
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: think league wide, everybody's got to take notice of these

219
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: Cardinals because they from top to bottom don't blink when

220
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: situations rise, whether it's the head coach, whether you lose

221
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl starting center, whether it's a tight end

222
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: or Chandler Jones is out or anything in that regard.

223
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: They just go out and can you continue to play football?

224
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 1: And they've bought it into that mantro of want to know,

225
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: which it sounds cheesy, but that's truly who they are

226
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: and what they are after six weeks into the season. Now,

227
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: can they go throughout the course of the entire season

228
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: as more obstacles are thrown in their way. There's nothing

229
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: to believe that that's not capable at this point in time.

230
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: Vans Joseph said this week that the coaches were able

231
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: to fill in so seamlessly because of the way Cliff

232
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: Kingsbury prepares this coaching staff every week. And he says

233
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: it was a team effort to make that offense work.

234
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: It took everyone to day to kind of you know,

235
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: pitch in, you know, to obviously get this done, you know, offensively.

236
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: The game was called you know, through the entire staff,

237
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: you know, and coach Cliff had it set up. You know,

238
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: what a guys can call it the same way he

239
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: called it, and that speaks to the Cliff, you know,

240
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: that speaks to him coaching his staff and coaching his

241
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: coaches to perform that way. We still got more to come,

242
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: Lots to talk about from this Brown's victory, and still

243
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: to come as we look ahead to the Houston Texans

244
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,360

Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals with another explosive offensive game. We're gonna take

252
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: a deeper look into this offense and how they were

253
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: able to dominate the Cleveland Browns without their head coach,

254
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury. You're listening to Cardinals Red Sea Report on

255
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. Hurry takes the shotgun, snaps

256
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: great drop back steps off, goes through his left rows

257
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 1: left into the end zone. Hen It's pot bread touchdown.

258
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: What a throw and Christian Kirk for six. Kyler Murray

259
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: steps off, extends to play Ruthew's legs and drops a

260
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: dime to Christian Kirk. Quick throw to the left side,

261
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: pot By Hopkins at the ten, slips a tackle, runs

262
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: left to the five into the end zone for the touchdown.

263
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: While DeAndre Hopkins broke a tackle, it looked like he

264
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: was dead to rights, but he spun out of there.

265
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: Hits Pader straight dropped back for Kyler, steps up, lobs

266
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: it back of the end zone quite open his Hopkins

267
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Kyler back and drow fires to the

268
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: end zone on the right side for a J. Green

269
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: and caught it touchdown AJ Green one on one of

270
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: fade and it's dropped in a bucket for Kyler Murray's

271
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: four touchdown pass of the day. And the Cardinals just

272
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: put the steak in the Browns. You dropped the twinkie

273
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 1: into the toe ster Kyler Murray four passing touchdown spread

274
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: out amongst three wide receivers and the Cardinals win over

275
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: the Browns on Sunday. One for Christian Kirk, one for

276
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: AJ Green, and a pair for DeAndre Hopkins. Guys, I'm

277
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: no expert, but I'm pretty sure it's not a smart

278
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: game plan to leave him wide open in the end zone.

279
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: But hey, what do I know? It feels like a

280
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: win win for the Cardinals because if you double team

281
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: hop well, you've got Kirk and you've got Green. But

282
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: if you leave him one on one, well, that's your mistake.

283
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: How important is it for this Cardinal's offense to continue

284
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: to spread the ball rather than just give those targets

285
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: to hop Well, It's huge because I think it makes

286
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: you play everybody on ut, especially when you have a

287
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: feel for what the defense is trying to do to

288
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: stop you. You look at that first touchdown to Christian

289
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: Kirk and it was a perfect call for that coverage.

290
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: They're one on one on the outside and they're doing

291
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: a combo on the inside, so being able to get

292
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: that scissors route on the outside where Christians actually starting

293
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: out as number three, that Nickel is in such a

294
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: bind he takes that post and that's why just that

295
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: little bit of time that Kyler's able to buy and

296
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: then put the ball to the corner of the end zone,

297
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: that's what allows that to happen. And in years past.

298
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: Maybe Kyler is thinking, Okay, things are breaking down, I'm

299
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: going to try and run, I'm gonna try and do

300
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: all these things. He's understanding and kind of staying in

301
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: there and just letting things develop and throwing with more anticipation.

302
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: Now again, the other the other coverage that we saw,

303
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: the blown coverage on Deandre's second touchdown, I mean, that

304
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: was just miscommunication. And I think people are wanting saying, hey,

305
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: the Browns aren't that good, or they're shooting themselves in

306
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: the foot. Well, people need to open their eyes and

307
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: realize how good the Arizona Cardinals really are. I mean,

308
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: you look at the effort that is being put forth

309
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: by DeAndre Hopkins to get in the end zone, not

310
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: settled for a field goal, and it's infectious because you're

311
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: watching Justin Pugh make blocks down field, even that fumble,

312
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: like all of those things the game within the game

313
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: that you understand that these guys are putting the extra

314
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: effort in because they believe in the person next to

315
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: him that's invaluable. And then having the beauty of just

316
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: throwing it up to aj at the at the end

317
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: to put the nail on the coffin. I mean that's

318
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: an Oh it was. It was spectacular. But he's doing

319
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: that and guys are sitting there saying, Okay, well, how

320
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: can I get the ball? How can rondel Moore? You

321
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: find different ways to get him involved with quick pitches

322
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: and get him into space and do all of this.

323
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: It's just where do you start to try and stop

324
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: this because if you play zone it's a no win

325
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: proposition and one of the biggest things. And we'll get

326
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: into and here you're gonna hear from Murray just the

327
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: freedom he had when it comes to checking out of places.

328
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: You know, if teams are gonna media certain games. Earlier

329
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: teams were bracketing Hopkins and he didn't want to force it.

330
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: But the fact is now he's staying in the pot

331
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: lot longer, he's going through his progressions, and now Hop's

332
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: getting open and we know on the fifty fifty balls,

333
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: I will take my chances all day when hops So

334
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: it's interesting where he's not forcing it like last year. Yeah,

335
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: they're not fifty fifty balls, right, they're not at that

336
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: point that's tilted heavily in our favor. But I think

337
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: at the same time, Kyler is now in his third

338
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: year understanding this is a long season. I'm not I

339
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: can't go out here and I can't play street ball,

340
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: I can't freestyle stuff. I need to work within the

341
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: confines of the offense. Now that just comes through maturation.

342
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: Understand what's going on, like we saw when he had

343
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: the opportunity to do it against San Francisco. If it's

344
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: one on one, every time, I'm trying to throw the

345
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: ball up to him if I can now if there's

346
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: a safety over the top, where's my plan B, where's

347
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: my plans C? And so he has these other options

348
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: and other tools in the toolbox, and now he's so

349
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: comfortable because he can check, he can get in and

350
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: out of stuff and be able to do that and

351
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: to have that rapport with the head coach, with the

352
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: play caller. Again, it's a collected effort, and I think

353
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: that a lot is being made out of the fact

354
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: that Cliff wasn't there and Cam wasn't there, which is

355
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: really hard. But it shows again the leadership, as Michael

356
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: talked about in the locker room of this team, but

357
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: also the support staff around here, the culture that exists

358
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: here that can't be diminished either because they're not batting

359
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: an eye when adversity comes, and it's going to come

360
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,959
Speaker 1: in many different forms. We saw a great command from

361
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: Kyler Murrie in that game, and he even joked after

362
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: the game that without head coach, offensive coordinator, play caller,

363
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: all of the above Cliff Kingsbury there, he had a

364
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: little more freedom in the game. I guess I did

365
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: give you, I mean, give me a little more freedom

366
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: just to you know, whatever I did see, you know,

367
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: go with it. And that's what Whip was saying. I

368
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: mean the whole time, whatever you see, you know, and

369
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 1: I stick to that same rule. You know, if as

370
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: long as it makes sense, you got a plan and

371
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: go with it. Kyler Murray third straight game without an interception.

372
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: It was assistant wide receivers coach Spence or Whipple who

373
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: was calling plays in his ear. We've talked about the

374
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: maturation of him, and we saw that mostly really taking

375
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 1: down the playclock in the first quarter when they had

376
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: to take two time outs. That was really where you

377
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: only saw the miscommunication of not having Cliff there. But

378
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: Kyler was making audibles and that was apparent in the

379
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: beginning of the game. That forty yard run by Chase Edmonds.

380
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: What did you see about the command that Kyler showed

381
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: in this game, and is this the first time you've

382
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: really seen that kind of leadership from him. Well, I

383
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: think he's capable of it. But it's also you don't

384
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: want to overload his plate, right, And it's very easy

385
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 1: for a quarterback to go back there, especially when defenses

386
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: get scared. You get them on their heels and they

387
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: start to start to show their cards because you don't

388
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: want to be out of position. You can't be out

389
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: of position against this offense. And if they're split safeties,

390
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: that's an advantageous box to get to a run check.

391
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: And you saw that they were able to gash it quickly.

392
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: And within this style of offense, there's very quick hitting

393
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: run games and Coog's is as good as anybody dialing

394
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: those up, getting the structure of that. And I would

395
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: just imagine, without knowing the true ins and outs of

396
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: what went on on game day, on what transpired, but

397
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 1: when you come over to the sidelines, Kyler already had

398
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: a list of plays that we're going to come up

399
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 1: that drive. I would think, I mean, whether it's Colt,

400
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: whether you know who it is that is kind of

401
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: in his ear and relay on that of Hey, we

402
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: want to get to this run in this run, Hey

403
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to this run and pass. Because we're

404
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: seeing these coverages, you get into the flow of the game,

405
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: and I think throughout the course of that you kind

406
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: of put more onus on the quarterback to say, hey,

407
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: this is what we're seeing. It's either going to be

408
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: one or two. If it's two, check the ball to

409
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: a run play and do that. And that's really the

410
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: next steps you want to see Kyler progress to in

411
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: the system, and he's done it seamlessly. Yeah, I also

412
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: think we know that year three, I got a chance

413
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: of seeing in training camp how this offense was humming.

414
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: But I think we're seeing the maturity factor from Kyler Murray.

415
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: Where before maybe he would take off and run bail

416
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: on the pocket. He's letting things come to him because

417
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: he has so many weapons, and so the fact that

418
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 1: he can check out a play. Now, when you get

419
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: a a play call in your in your helmet, sometimes

420
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: our pos you can check out, But how many times

421
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: would you check out just based on pre snap And

422
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: then when you're getting to the line where maybe they're

423
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: going to change your formation, Well, I think when you

424
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: get up there and you see the coverage, whether it's

425
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: a dummy count of fake clap or you send a

426
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: motion or you get these indicators, then you're getting those

427
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: pre snap reads because the play within the play is

428
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: going to dictate where you go, whether you alert it

429
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: or can it. You'll hear those those audibles quite often

430
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: in any NFL game because they use the same verbiage.

431
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: But whether it's a run to pass or pass to

432
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: run or pass the pass, I mean, it all is

433
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: predicated on what the offense is trying to do. But

434
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: within that, when you have the ability to go run

435
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: to pass and spread people out and get spacing and

436
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: and really get guys, I mean multiple guys in this offense,

437
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: you want to try and find space for them, you're

438
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: capable of doing that. It just allows that offense to

439
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: hold the defense to a different type of standard because

440
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: even as good of a pass rusher as Miles Garrett is,

441
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 1: when the ball coming out quickly and that's going left,

442
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: it's going right, you're moving the pocket, You're doing all

443
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: these things that frustrates those guys like it truly does,

444
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: because they're trying to get home and you know they

445
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: get paid off of one highlighted game. If they can

446
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: get one sack of game, that's all they're looking for.

447
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: But if they can't get into a rhythm and the

448
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: ball is coming out and they're doing these things, or

449
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: you're putting points up on the board, and then now

450
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: you become balanced because you're in second and six, second

451
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 1: and four and you're running the football and doing all

452
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: those things. You're staying ahead of the chains. And when

453
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: you have that capability on top of not turning the

454
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: football over, it's such a recipe for success that each

455
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: and every time you step out on the field on

456
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: Sundays helps that success. It was the fifth win the

457
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: Cardinals put up thirty or more points. They scored on

458
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: all five drives in the first half. Here's what running

459
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: back James Connor had to say about this team's motivation

460
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: behind this powerful performance. It was different for us, you know,

461
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: not having coach Cliff out there. You know we've playing

462
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: for him, and so man, everybody stepped up on our

463
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: coaching staff and our players too, to get the job done.

464
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: That's all it was about, what is getting his job done?

465
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: And now we reset and get ready for next week. Obviously,

466
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: you don't want anybody to get COVID or miss a game.

467
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: But the fact that this team was without so many

468
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: key players and coaches and they still found a way

469
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: to get a win and get a win over a

470
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: good team. That's something we could talk about later about

471
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: the disrespect of this team and the coverage they're getting.

472
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: But to get this sixth win under so much adversity,

473
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: how much more confident should this team be knowing this

474
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: is how good they were not even being full strength. Yeah,

475
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: I listen. I mean, I think they put the work in.

476
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: It's win every day, you know, one day at a time,

477
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: one game at a time. I think they got great

478
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: leadership in that locker room. So as Van said, they

479
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: didn't blink and it showed that, you know, and they

480
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: had they only punted twice. I mean, they obviously scored

481
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: in their first five possessions in the first half. I

482
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: would say maybe because lead in punt until late in

483
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: the game or second half. But yeah, it's just I

484
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: think they're so close and there's a lot of respect

485
00:22:58,640 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: for each other in the locker room, but they're all

486
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: paul in the same rope, and you could see that

487
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: the genuine all get along with each other, and that

488
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: shows on the field, so we'll talk about it coming up.

489
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: I guess talking about that disrespect Burgang. The Dave at

00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: Red Sea we're more. We're going to talk about the

496
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: coverage that this team is getting despite being six and

497
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: oh and it wasn't just a great outing by the

498
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: Cardinals offense to secure the win over the Browns. It

499
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: was another great performance by the defense. We discuss how

500
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: they held their own against the number one rushing team

501
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: in the league. When we returned to the Cardinals Red

502
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: Sea report here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network, Hey fields,

503
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: the gun takes the shotgun, snap, drops back to throw,

504
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: steps up, get hit by Golden, escapes and now moves

505
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: around the pocket, rolls left and hit from behind, fumbles

506
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: the ball exclusive the nineteen yard line of the Cardinals

507
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: fall on it. Marcus Golden stayed after it forced the fumble.

508
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: Dogbe recovers it inside the Cleveland twenty. The jugyard dog

509
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: Marcus Golden Mayfield seven steps great drop fires keep right

510
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: side pick off by Alfred and Midfield cuts back to

511
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: the left of the forty five forty shotgun stat Mayfield

512
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: looking fresh around Mayfield hip and he steps up again

513
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: and he fumbles the ball. It's loose on the far side.

514
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: Devon Kannard hops on it. He's got it for the Cardinals.

515
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:45,719
Speaker 1: Another takeaway. J J. Watt forced the fumble. Welcome back

516
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: into the Cardinal's Red Sea report Mike Jarecki drew Stanton.

517
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: I'm Danny Siak. Another great outing by this Cardinal's defense.

518
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: They held the Browns to just fourteen points. Was the

519
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,479
Speaker 1: fifth fifth time Arizona has held their opponent to twenty

520
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: or fewer points. This was again without defensive lineman Zach Allen,

521
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: linebacker Chandler Jones, or defensive lineman Corey Peters, and of

522
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: all weeks for this Cardinals defense to figure out how

523
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: to really stop the run. What a great week against

524
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: the number one rushing team in the league. They held

525
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: the Browns to just seventy three rushing yards and look

526
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb did not play because he's hurt, but Gareem

527
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: Hunt would be a starter on any other team, So

528
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: it wasn't an easy task ahead. What finally clicked for

529
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: this run defense, Well, I just think, you know, I

530
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: think guys were freelancing early on, and basically they say,

531
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: do your job. And it sounds simple and a cliche,

532
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: but if you do your job, all eleven guys are

533
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: doing their job, you're not going to have these guys

534
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: getting to the second level. But Marcus Golden, to me,

535
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: he's the glue of this defense. I think Buddha Baker's

536
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 1: the face along with Chandler Jones. But we always talk

537
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 1: about JJ Watton Cannard play well. But Marcus Golden, I mean,

538
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: he got more playing time than he's had in the past.

539
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: He gets to the quarterback, he's great in the run game.

540
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: I just think they got a bunch of dogs on defense.

541
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: These guys are physical, they love to tackle the secondary.

542
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Jalen Thompson, Buddha, Robert Alfer, what a nice

543
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: play teammate. So I think guys there's a little free lance.

544
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: And when I'm talking about freelancing, JJ Watt and Chillon Jones,

545
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,959
Speaker 1: they can recover when they do that, But here they

546
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: want these guys to stay in your lane and stay

547
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: in your gap discipline, and I thought we saw that

548
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: on Sunday. This team has a plus a turnover differential,

549
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: which is the second best in the league. The key, though,

550
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: is that this offense is scoring off of these turnovers.

551
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: They've put up fifty five points off turnovers so far

552
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: this season. Let's hear from defensive coordinator Vans Joseph on

553
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: what's behind the success of this team forcing turnovers. It's

554
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: the culture that we've said. You know, we have a

555
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: we have a CPR period every single day. You know,

556
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: it's it's it's club punch rip and offensively and defensively,

557
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 1: everybody goes through it, you know. So our ball security

558
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: is tested every day and our takeaway ability is tested

559
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: every day. And I'm telling you the boys have bought

560
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: into it, you know, Cliff has bought into it, and

561
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: it's worked. If you can stop the run and take

562
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: the football away and not give it away, that's good

563
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: NFL football. Good NFL football stopping the run and forcing turnovers.

564
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: While check and check in this Cleveland game for the

565
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals depends on why I'm in. JJ Watt finally

566
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: got his first sack as an Arizona Cardinal. He's come

567
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: so close the last couple of games. And what a

568
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 1: great play, strip sack recovered by linebacker Devon Knard. Again

569
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: Cardinal's offense scored off the turnover. JJ Watt also had

570
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: a pass reflection. I mean, he's two great games back

571
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: to back for him. How excited were you to finally

572
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: see him, you know, get that strip sack and move

573
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: past that now? Yeah, well, I think it's just contagious, right.

574
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: You see the guys that are out there and the

575
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: effort they're putting forth, and when your best players are

576
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: playing at that high level, it just that has an

577
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: effect on everybody. It has an effect on the entire team.

578
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: But you see Marcus's first one with a relentless effort,

579
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, JJ's out there and

580
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: he's staying after Baker and then he gets the strip sack,

581
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: and then you have the wherewithal and the savvyist to stay. Okay, well,

582
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 1: I know this is a passing situation. Can't get to

583
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: the quarterback, he's getting double team and he gets his

584
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: long arms up and Baker. You know it's a deflection.

585
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: Those are the things that you don't realize on third

586
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: down then leads to the fourth down play that stops

587
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: it because Robert Alford makes a play. They're playing great

588
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: team defense. And yes, missing Chandler Jones and his capability,

589
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: you always want that whenever it's allowed. But when you

590
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: don't have that, it makes everybody pick up a slack

591
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: a little bit, you know, as m was talking about,

592
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 1: everybody grabbed the rope and everybody's pulling in the same direction.

593
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: And when you find that, especially on defense and you

594
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,719
Speaker 1: play complimentary football plus say turnover, that's not just an

595
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: offense doing well, that's an offense and a defense working

596
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: in unison and doing a very good job and being

597
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: conscientious of it as Vance was talking about. Because these

598
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: are practice learned traits. It's talked about. This doesn't happenstance

599
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: that you end up at plus eight. You know, if

600
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: you stay around even then that's one thing. But when

601
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: you're making a conscious effort each and every week to

602
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: stay ahead of that, that's where you see this really

603
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: kind of start to differentiate. Say we're six and because

604
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: of the plus theight turnovers, and then also in the

605
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: red zone. We're not settling for field goes. There's no

606
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: secret sauce here. It is what it is. And they're

607
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: distributing the ball perfectly well. And in the fact that

608
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: they haven't turned the ball over in the last couple

609
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: of games, and that goes a long way where you know,

610
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: initially after a couple of weeks, well college got four interceptions.

611
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: Well you know you're gonna take the good with the bad.

612
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: But according to Vance, jj Watt clearly didn't participate in

613
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: training camp. I think they were being cautious and the

614
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: main one thing was to get in a week one.

615
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: He thought he got off to a slow start week one.

616
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: Week two, but they kind of moved him around a

617
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: little bit more and he was facing some double teams.

618
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: But now you're starting to see the upside of him

619
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: putting pressure tackle for losses. I mean, he's third in

620
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: the league when it comes to pressure. So over the

621
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: last four games, you're starting to see the upside of

622
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: JJ Watt. And just imagine when they're all healthy on defense,

623
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: you can't double team every single guy. Yeah no, and

624
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: JJ is known as a freestyle on this like that's

625
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: what allows him to make those flash pass those TFLs

626
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: that he gets and he's known for as an entire

627
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: core of his career. He makes those plays because sometimes

628
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: he will shoot a gap, but knowing when to shoot

629
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: that gapse when it matters most to your point and

630
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: when you have a veteran like that, he knows his capabilities,

631
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: he knows the circumstances, he knows when he can do that,

632
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: because at times, if you don't pick that time correctly,

633
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: you leave those linebackers hung out to drive. So you

634
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: have to be very aware when you do it. But

635
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: when he does it, it's really been beneficial for the

636
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: team because it's allowed those to transpire and to drive

637
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: ending type of situations. The Browns went for it on

638
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: four down four times, and they were stopped three. The

639
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: Cardinals have now stopped seven of the last nine four

640
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: down attempts in the last two games between San Francisco

641
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: and Cleveland. Van's Joseph was saying he's not surprised teams

642
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: are going for it, because when you've got a Cardinals

643
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: offense as explosive as this one is, that's what he

644
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: expects from teams. Are you surprised teams are going for

645
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: it as much as they are? Still well, I do

646
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: think analytics plays a role, but you know, I also

647
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: think that you know, teams are going fourd on four

648
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: down because they want to keep Kyler Murray on the sidelines.

649
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: But I do think you look at sand just go

650
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: in the last game. I mean, you got to push

651
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: the envelope, you got to try to steal a possession

652
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: by getting a first down or and they don't want

653
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: to punt because they're gonna get the ball back to him.

654
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: So I think it's analytics, but they want to leave

655
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray on the sidelines. Yeah, I think for me

656
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: it's easy because we're sitting here talking and I don't

657
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: have to make these decisions. But analytics is so involved

658
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: now and ye for me, I think it was Joe

659
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: Judges said, computers don't go play football games. There is

660
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: the mentality and if you're worried about Kyler or the

661
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: flow of the game. But I played for a head

662
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: coach and I've been around a lot of people. I

663
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: want as many points as i can get in the

664
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: first half. I'm kicking field goals. I'm doing that because

665
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you don't get those. And we've

666
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: talked about this before with Vans fans, It's like, yeah,

667
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: I expect it. Those are as good as turnovers because

668
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: the ball changes possession at that time, So it's like

669
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: getting a fumble or an interception because it's gone. So

670
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: to get seven of those or whatever they've gotten. I

671
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: saw the stat that they have more this year than

672
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: they had all of last year already. So to be

673
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: able to get that change possession then put the ball

674
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: in this dynamic of an offense, it's remarkable. So I

675
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: always under the impression take points when you can get

676
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: him in the first half, because you play the first

677
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: half to see what you need to do to win

678
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: it in the second half. Well, Van said, I have

679
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: more and my toolbox than you. What are you gonna

680
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: do on third and one, fourth and one? I mean,

681
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: you're not going to go to the outside. You're probably

682
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: gonna run at the middle. So he says gold for it.

683
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: I mean he looks forward to the team's going out

684
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: on fourth down. Yeah, you know, and this is again

685
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: like the CPR drill that he was talking about. This

686
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: is a thing you practice now in today's NFL, Like

687
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: we used to open up every practice with these fourth

688
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: and goal to go situations. So you're getting these reps,

689
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: you're playing these mental preparation games already in your head,

690
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: so when they come about, you're not sitting there doing this,

691
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: or you're making the checks. And when you have guys

692
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: like Vuddha Baker that can make those checks, we're Jordan

693
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: Hicks that's showing up and getting everybody in the right

694
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: call all of these things that are allowing you to

695
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: go out there and have supreme confidence. So yeah, Van's

696
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: Joseph's like, all right, let's go. Let's see what happens.

697
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: And if you don't get it, then you're behind the

698
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: eight ball now because the balls handed back over to

699
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,479
Speaker 1: Kyler on this explosive offense. And no team is how

700
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: to defend against more four down attempts. Cardinals lead the

701
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: league with fourteen. Here's cornerback Robert Alford had to say

702
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: about teams continuing to go for it on fourth down

703
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: against them. We're just working out tail off at practice. Man,

704
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: When when we feel like teams is going forward on

705
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: fourth down, we feel disrespected and that makes us um

706
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: breed up even more. And the days show man, hey

707
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: stop going forward on four down upon this, But we're

708
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: gonna bring out big Boy pass and whatever we need

709
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: to do to win that down. Drew, you were in

710
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,719
Speaker 1: Cleveland recently when you were playing, so I just had

711
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: to ask you real quickly. As we're talking about the defense,

712
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: let's quickly talk about Baker Mayfield and what you saw

713
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: from him Sunday. Yeah. Well, I mean a sudden going

714
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: into the game. Turnovers is going to be huge, and

715
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: I think that when you turn the ball over it

716
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: it's hard to win. When you lose that battle, I

717
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: think there was minus three. Uh, is that what the

718
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns were. It's hard and they're known for being

719
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: a run first type of an offense. Losing both tackles,

720
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: not having Nick Chubb, m not having Jarvis Landry again.

721
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: But there's no excuse for that. This is the NFL.

722
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: Everybody has to deal with injuries. Nobody's gonna feel sorry

723
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: for you. And that's no excuse for Baker, even though

724
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: he's the dear end and I want to see him

725
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: have success. It's just you have these football games. You

726
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: can't do that, and he knows it, and he was

727
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: probably trying to press them do some things and they're

728
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: gonna get things figured out. In Cleveland. They've got too

729
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: many players. They got too much talent, But you have

730
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: to go out there and for sixty minutes play a

731
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: clean football game. How much do you think the shoulders

732
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: affecting him? I know this is non throwing shoulder, but

733
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: it's gonna be some effective. His numbers are down when

734
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: it comes to completion percentage. He hasn't thrown as many

735
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: touchdowns as he hasn't the past. Well, I think that

736
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 1: offense again, like you talk about what the offense is,

737
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: is there a superstar quarterback that's ever been in that offense?

738
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: I mean, do you pay somebody forty million dollars to

739
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: run that offense when you're gonna run the ball as

740
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: much as they're running it, when they're gonna come up

741
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: and they're gonna try and shove it down your throat.

742
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: I mean, John Elway was the last quarterback in that

743
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: Kubiak system that went out and won a Super Bowl.

744
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: The NFL game has changed so drastically that Baker's not

745
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 1: asked to win football games, but he also then can't

746
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: lose it, and that comes with ball control. So being

747
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: cognizant of that trying to do it, but when you

748
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 1: take those first and second luxuries away it's hard to

749
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: then divert go in a different direction right now for

750
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 1: that team. Zero points allowed in the second half of

751
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: that game against the Rounds for the Arizona Cardinals defense,

752
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: allowing an average of just eighteen points per game, tight

753
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,280
Speaker 1: for second in the league. Episode four of Cardinals Folk Tales,

00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: get the Connor again, off left side. He's got a

767
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: crase at the thirty down to the twenty five and

768
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: tackled at the twenty four fifteen, carries sixteen yards and

769
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 1: they're pulling the hearts out of the Cleveland Browns now

770
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: inside seven minutes to go, leading thirty to fourteen. It's

771
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: a run play up the middle inside the twenty and

772
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: Connor keeps the feet moving and he gets a first

773
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 1: down inside the fifteen to the fourteen. They cannot tackle

774
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: James Connor. Maybe they don't want to. Oh my goodness,

775
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: James Connor, he's running the ball like he's judged. Drett

776
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: out here. David certainly ruled and found the Cleveland Browns

777
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: to be guilty see Hammering Down. Cardinal signed running back

778
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: James Connor to a one year deal in April, and

779
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: so far he has delivered in his role, making those tough,

780
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 1: angry runs downhill to wear out the deep their final drive,

781
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals used Connor to their advantage. He had

782
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: six runs to set up the aj Green touchdown to

783
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: put the game away. How essential how's this run game

784
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: been in the fourth quarter to wear down these defenses?

785
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: It's huge. I mean, when you can control the line

786
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, when you can control the ball, and then

787
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 1: it amounts to points. At the end and it becomes

788
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: a numbers game. You know, the analytics would love to

789
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: break that down for us. But when you look at

790
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: that and the score and you start looking at the

791
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: clock and say, man, we're down three possessions, it doesn't

792
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: take a rocket scientist to figure out you can't allow

793
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: that to happen. But when you're methodically going down the

794
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: field and getting these chunk runs, these explosive runs that

795
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: are amounting in the first downs, and the chains reset themselves,

796
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: it just becomes defeating. And you saw that, you saw them.

797
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 1: You saw that Cleveland Brown's defense quit. I mean there

798
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: was one I don't know what exactly which run it

799
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: was in that montage, but he was dead to rights

800
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: and he starts fighting, keeps his legs journey again. You

801
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: see the offensive linement down the field blocking. It's a

802
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: constant theme that we've seen, and these these themes that

803
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 1: we've seen all the way back to training camp, of

804
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: the concerted effort to get this type of talent in here,

805
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: the guys with this type of pedigree. This is why

806
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: you have them. This is why you have James Connor

807
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: to go out and close games, to be on the

808
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: goal line, to be able to set a tone and

809
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: a mentality because of the place that he came from

810
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. He's a true pro. He understands that his preparation.

811
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: Same thing, you know with aj Green going out to

812
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: finish out a game where he hadn't been involved about much.

813
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: In that drive, Boom, he gets an opportunity, he makes

814
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: a big play. He's played in that stadium throughout the

815
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: course of his entire career and has had averaged over

816
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: seventy yards. Boom, he does that, and that puts the

817
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: nail in the coffin. Yeah, this is something that Cardinals

818
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: didn't have last year. And then everyone wanted Kyler Murray

819
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: to go under center, and all of a sudden, cliffs

820
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: going for fourth down, and you know sometimes when he's

821
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: in the gun, you gotta go for a yard. So

822
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: he's really gonna go one two punch. And I can

823
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: recall the Titans game, the Rams game in this previous

824
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: game where basically the Cardinals controlled the fourth quarter by

825
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 1: running the football, and it's demoralizing because the other team

826
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: knows what the score is and they still can't stop it.

827
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: It's it's it's really when you look at the offensive

828
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: line they should get more credit for open EmPATH these holes. Yeah,

829
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: and it's not just one guy doing it right. You

830
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 1: want to try and stop a defensive force like Miles Garrett,

831
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: but you have a great left tackle and DJ's going

832
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 1: out there and he didn't have to have a bunch

833
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: of help throughout the course of the day. So that

834
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: allows you to kind of stick to what you're doing

835
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: in the run game. And then again, Rodney Hudson's out,

836
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 1: you plug in a new center and a new dynamic

837
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: there that could have an effect. They don't blink, and

838
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 1: I think again, it's the leadership, it's the coaching and coogs.

839
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 1: Like he was saying, my dad was a firefighter. You

840
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: couldn't take a day off as a firefighter. You had

841
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: to You're going to work and the next man had

842
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: to go pick up the hose and get back at it.

843
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: So that is what you're seeing with these guys from

844
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,280
Speaker 1: start to finish, because they play a full sixty minutes

845
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 1: and that's not something that you can take for granted.

846
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: And because in years past or different teams or organizations,

847
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: you look at kyler skillset and you say, well, yeah,

848
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 1: let's just do zone reads. Let's do this, you're putting

849
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 1: him in harm's way, which is the worst thing you

850
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: can do to close out a football game. No football game.

851
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: One game is going to be worth the health of

852
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: your quarterback for the longevity of the season. So now

853
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: you're taking the ball out of his hands, You're putting

854
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 1: it in a very capable backs hands that you can

855
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: kind of come through it. And again, there's so much

856
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: depth on this team to have the luxury at each

857
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: and every position that if an injury does arise here

858
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: or there, you're able to overcome that. And you're seeing

859
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: a weekend and week out right now. On that final drive,

860
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: Connor accumulated forty of his seventy one total rushing yards

861
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: that game. Just incredible. Not an easy task, knowing it's

862
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: your job to make those gritty runs and wear down

863
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: a defense to secure the win. Here's what Connor had

864
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: to say about his mentality throughout those plays. It's time

865
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: to muscle. Look, you know, we know our role, and

866
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 1: you know I'm getting on the old line. I'm telling

867
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: him time to play bullieball. You know, I'm just making

868
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 1: sure I'm putting the ball in the right place and

869
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,879
Speaker 1: running hard and protecting it. And you know, getting time

870
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:56,800
Speaker 1: off that clock. So that's just the mentality, you know,

871
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 1: that's why I'm here. Okay, let's look ahead now. As

872
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: the Cardinals look to get their seventh straight win continue

873
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: this undefeated streak, they're going up against the one in

874
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: five Texans, who haven't won a game since their season opener.

875
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 1: What's the key to mentally staying locked in and not

876
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: get comfortable with the fact that you're not only six

877
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: and oh, but you're facing a team that is clearly struggling. Well,

878
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,240
Speaker 1: it's twofold, right. Everybody knows who they play after the Texans,

879
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: because that's all everybody's talking about, the Thursday night game

880
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: against Green Bay. So you don't look ahead. You trust

881
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: the process that's in place, the one on O mentality,

882
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: the processes a lot of people refer it to as

883
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: it des I know it. You know what Tuesday looks

884
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: like and Wednesday and so everything leading up. It doesn't

885
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: matter who you're going against. Todd Haley used to say,

886
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 1: you're playing a bunch of against a bunch of great,

887
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: nameless faces, and you go out there and you play.

888
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter because they're all getting paid to play

889
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: this professional football game and they are capable of beating you. Now,

890
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: how you counterbalance that is by saying, Okay, we don't

891
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 1: turn the ball over. That's where it starts. Because you

892
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: allow them to give them a glimmer of hope, to

893
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 1: let them in or hang around. Then all of a sudden,

894
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: the game becomes in balance. If you go out and

895
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: you execute, and you continue to do everything you're doing

896
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: with precision, you're going to find yourself up at halftime

897
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 1: and these guys are gonna be man, we're a one

898
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: in five football team and we don't stand a chance

899
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: to be on the field. And then you go and

900
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: you wear them out in the second half, just like

901
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: James Connor is able to do in the run game,

902
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: and you get out of there with a win. Now,

903
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: that happens through doing those three things. And the veteran

904
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: leadership on this team is saying the same exact thing

905
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,439
Speaker 1: in the locker room. Don't turn the ball over. Let's

906
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: be smart in the first half, let's stop them and

907
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: don't give them any hope. Yeah. Last year, I mean

908
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: they go two and o and all of a suddenly,

909
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: you know, did maybe take the Lions seriously? And then

910
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: they go to Carolina and they kind of laid an egg.

911
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: So I don't this is a different team. They've got

912
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: different leadership, they're more physical than where a year ago.

913
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: It just looks different. So the leaders in that locker room,

914
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: they're not going to overlook the Texans. You worry about

915
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: the Packers next week when you play them, but right

916
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,240
Speaker 1: now the focus is on the Texans regardless of the record.

917
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: They are NFL players and any given Sunday something can happen,

918
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:03,919
Speaker 1: So it don't go out there and take it lightly.

919
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,240
Speaker 1: Keep the momentum going into the Thursday night game against

920
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 1: the Packers. Yeah, and I think two adding on that

921
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:12,800
Speaker 1: two and oh is far different than six and o.

922
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: The snowball effect, the momentum that's being created. There is

923
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: an expectancy to go out there and win each and

924
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: every Sunday because now they're doing it, and they've put

925
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 1: the league on notice. So they've put tape out there

926
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: for six weeks now saying hey, this is our true

927
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 1: identity as opposed to maybe two weeks in. So I

928
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 1: look forward to them going out there and making another

929
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: statement and having a very good showing. This will be

930
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: the first game we get to see the newest Arizona

931
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: Cardinal out on the field. Tight end Zach Ertz. Cardinals

932
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: made a tray with the Eagles after tight m Max

933
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 1: Williams suffered a season ating right knee injury against the

934
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers. What are you most excited about for

935
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: Arts to bring to this offense? Well, just another weapon

936
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: you know in the red zone. You know clearly that

937
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: the Cardinals love to go eleven personnel. Now, he may

938
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 1: be not the same blocker, but the efforts there. He's

939
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 1: a guy that's willing the block. But I think it's

940
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: going to be a weapon when it comes to eleven personnel.

941
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: And give the organization credit, they did not wait for

942
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: the trade deadline, and he's going to be a good

943
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,320
