1
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: The seven month wait is over. It's game week. Welcome

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: bird Gang. On today's show, Danny Surrek joins me. Week

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: one at Washington. What are our expectations? Would surprise us?

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't appear there will be a surprise at quarterback, however. Also,

5
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: there are eleven rookies on the fifty three man roster.

6
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: Expect most of them to be active on game day.

7
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: It's Cardinals Cover two, Episode six sixty nine, and it

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: starts now.

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,680

Speaker 1: He's at the ten half of five. He's it again,

15
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: so more hurry magic.

16
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: Whoa, here's Craig Griolud.

17
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: Congratulations to everyone, including Danny. We have made it. The

18
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: regular season is here finally. In fact, there is a

19
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: game on Thursday. I'm sure you'll be watching Lions at

20
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, Yes, of course, all right, and then Sunday

21
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: ten am Arizona time Cardinals at the Commanders. It is

22
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: week one. Before we dive into that, ask Gus, I

23
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: have to ask you about last week final weekend before

24
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: week fourteen, which is mid December. But we are done

25
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: with weekends now that the regular season is upon us.

26
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 3: No, it was a good weekend, a nice long weekend

27
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 3: until I ended the long weekend feeling under the weather.

28
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 3: I haven't felt sick at all this entire offseason, so

29
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 3: what better time than of course, week one. However, I'm very,

30
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 3: very grateful that it was in the beginning of the week.

31
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 3: I'm on the back end of my cold, so I'm

32
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 3: just happy to be here, Craig.

33
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: And we are happy to have you here as well.

34
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: On Cardinals Cover two presented by Yundai, proudly partner of

35
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. You know we did get the injury

36
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: reports post practice on Wednesday. Do not see Danny Surrek listed,

37
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: so that is good that you are a full participants

38
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: on Wednesday?

39
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: Yes, likely likely to attend the game in Washington. Full participant.

40
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: Okay, full participant. All right, let's go over real quick,

41
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: because let's face it, this team is about as healthy

42
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: as they might be all year long. Going into Week one.

43
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: Four players on the injury reports the only three were

44
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: limited Calvin Beacham, Hollywood Brown, and zach Ertz s Beacham

45
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: dealing with a hand, Brown a hamstring, and ERTs a niece.

46
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: And now we now know what was Hollywood Brown dealing

47
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: with all the training camp and preseason a hamstring that

48
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: they were monitoring throughout, and that's why sometimes we did

49
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: see him practice, other times they dialed it back.

50
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 3: But the fact that we've seen Brown is significant enough

51
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: like times to where I don't feel like it will

52
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: At this point, doesn't seem like it's going to keep

53
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: him out of the game, just because we've seen him

54
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 3: so consistently at practice, not working out on the side,

55
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 3: you know, in preseason games, So it seems like it's

56
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 3: on the right track.

57
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: The question, though, is zach Ertz. He has mentioned repeatedly

58
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: that he would like to play Week one, that was

59
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: his goal, but coming off that ACL injury and an

60
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: MCL tear as well, my guess is that this will

61
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: be all the way up until game time. How do

62
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: you feel on the flights, how do you feel on

63
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: the walkthrough on Saturday? How do you wake up Sunday?

64
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: And then the adrenaline will kick in and I'm sure

65
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: if he is even seventy five to eighty percents, he'll

66
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: want to be out on that football field.

67
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 3: And I feel like, if you're seventy five or eighty percent,

68
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 3: sorry as I'm getting over this cold, everyone listening to

69
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 3: my muted cough there. If you are feeling seventy five

70
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: to eighty percent and you get the clear, you can

71
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 3: go ahead from the medical training staff. Don't you think

72
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 3: it would make more sense to put him out there,

73
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 3: maybe more of a limited series, rather than saying we

74
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 3: want you to be one hundred percent because you want

75
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 3: to make it out there right. You want him to

76
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 3: start catching passes, You want him to take those hits

77
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 3: you wanted to make those blocks. You want him to

78
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 3: start really putting his body through. Not that he hasn't

79
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 3: been with rehab or with these practices the last couple

80
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 3: of weeks since he's been taken off that pup list,

81
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 3: but you really want him to put his body through

82
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 3: that game so he can get into that routine when

83
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 3: it comes to recovering throughout the week. So, without having

84
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 3: any reason to believe so, I would think that zach

85
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 3: Ertz would be leaning towards playing just because he's been

86
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 3: off the pup for so long, and he's been practicing

87
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: again with the team. Doesn't look like he's been doing

88
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,119
Speaker 3: a lot of stuff on the side on his own.

89
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 3: Although we didn't see him in the preseason, it's been

90
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 3: feeling like it's trending towards he will be ready to play.

91
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 3: But you're right again, that flight on Friday night and

92
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,799
Speaker 3: how you're feeling Saturday, I mean, that could all change everything.

93
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: You put him on a pitch count, you say, all right,

94
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: here's what we envision your role to be on Sunday,

95
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: at least at the starts, and if it feels good,

96
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: then you can increase that role, whether it's within the

97
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: game or going from week one to week two. Because

98
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: as much as we have heard this team discuss about

99
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: how much they want to a want run the ball

100
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: and then b how many two and three tight end

101
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: sets we have seen, whether it was during the offseason

102
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: or training camp practices, you're gonna want one of those

103
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: tight ends provided he's capable and available to be. Zach Ertz.

104
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, I could certainly see, all right, you're active.

105
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: Maybe we don't have a full role for you right now,

106
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: but maybe he doesn't need to be that guy every

107
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: single down because you have a Trey McBride, you have

108
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: a Jeff Swain, so you have guys in that room

109
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: to see to give everyone a little bit of a

110
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: breather to you're not playing one hundred percent of the.

111
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 3: Snaps, right, and again, we have no reason to think, oh,

112
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 3: you know he's gonna play, We know this and this.

113
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 3: I just feel like the way that it's been trending

114
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 3: and the work that he's been putting in, I believe

115
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 3: when they say that, you know, when we talked to

116
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 3: zach Ertz a week or so ago of him not

117
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 3: knowing whether or not he played, I would believe that,

118
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 3: But it just it feels like, for some reason, it

119
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 3: really feels like he's shreunding towards playing, even if you

120
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 3: are on a pitch count.

121
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: Now, I mentioned that there were four players listed on

122
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: the injury report. I only named three. The fourth is

123
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: Dennis Gardek, who was a full participants on Wednesday because

124
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: of that knee that bothered him late in preseason. So

125
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: that's good to have Dennis on the football field. But

126
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: the one name that we did not see on the

127
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: injury report, and it just occurred to me as I

128
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: was walking down here Marco Wilson who left the game preseason,

129
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 1: of that second preseason game and did not participate at

130
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: all against the Vikings and the joint practices, and there

131
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: was a little bit of I don't know if concerns

132
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: the right word. You were there, I was not, but

133
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: not to have number twenty on the football field.

134
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 3: That's a concern for me well, but.

135
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: Of joint practices and it was, you know, still kind

136
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: of training camp, so you weren't quite sure. But here

137
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: we are week one and this week Marco Wilson is

138
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: a full participant. Because if you don't have your starting cornerback,

139
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: that's a lot of youth and an experience in that

140
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: room outside of Antonio Hamilton.

141
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 3: That's a great point. Now with the injury reports coming out,

142
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 3: as you're not just seeing who was on it, you

143
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 3: were also keeping an eye on who is not and

144
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: it's a great sign that Marco Wilson is not as

145
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 3: you're starting cornerback.

146
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: Now.

147
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 3: Look, if you don't have Wilson, you'd probably go with

148
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 3: Antonio Hamilton, I would assume maybe over like a Christian

149
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 3: Matthew starting opposite of the rookie Keatchall Clark but thankfully

150
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 3: doesn't feel like the Cardinals are going to be in

151
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 3: that situation. You're gonna have Wilson out there, You're gonna

152
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 3: have the rookie Keechral Clark, who was named opposing starting cornerback.

153
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 3: So it is great to have Wilson out there, just

154
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 3: because of the experience and how he's grown every year

155
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 3: in this league. And he was the only dB that

156
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 3: was truly taking first team raps the entire training camp,

157
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 3: all preseason as a starter, so he had solidified his role.

158
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 3: So it's great that he will be out there.

159
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: So that's what we know on Wednesday. We do not

160
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: know officially, although if you've listened to Cardinals Cover two

161
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: or any of the other shows across the Arizona Cardinals

162
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: podcast platforms, we all anticipate, we all expect Joshua Dobbs

163
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: to be QB one. No official announcement from the team

164
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: head coach Jonathan Gannon has been asked repeatedly, there will

165
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: not be an announcement. There will not even be an

166
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 1: announcement or a confirmation on Friday. But we all believed

167
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: and expected something to break, and that did happen Wednesday.

168
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: NFL Networks Ian Rappaport with the twin that Joshua Dobbs

169
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: is expected to be the starting quarterback for the Cardinals,

170
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: and then he added this quote, they'll evaluate the situation

171
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: each week, but this is how it goes, or this

172
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: is how it begins. End of quote, end of tweets.

173
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: So again, not a surprise. Again, we don't hear from

174
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: Gannon until Friday before practice. He is not going to

175
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 1: confirm this. He has no reason to, so straight up set.

176
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 3: He's not going to give the media anything.

177
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: So this game, if you will this, I don't know

178
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: if charade's the right word, but it's been fun. But

179
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: I think now everyone understands what is happening. And again,

180
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: if you've been watching, if you've been following, if you've

181
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: been listening, you're not going to part with a fifth

182
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: round draft pick lates into training camp and then not

183
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: starts that player, I e. Joshua Dobbs.

184
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 3: When you make a trade for Dobbs so late in

185
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 3: the preseason, just before that final game, there's no question

186
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 3: in my mind you're bringing him as your starter. Once

187
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 3: you released Colt McCoy, I think from what you saw

188
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 3: with the rookie and Clayton tune. You can see the potential,

189
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 3: but he just didn't seem ready to take that step

190
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 3: as a starter from what we saw in the preseason,

191
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 3: just with some of the mechanics and the high balls

192
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 3: and the footwork, with some of the decisions that were made.

193
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 3: So it really you're right, it really hasn't felt like

194
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 3: that true quarterback battle of just because you're not naming

195
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 3: a starting quarterback doesn't mean people aren't picking up on

196
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 3: what you're putting down. He does have. Dobbs does have

197
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 3: more experience, obviously than two and it's not a ton,

198
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 3: but at least he's been around in the league. He's

199
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: been around a couple different teams and schemes. He has

200
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 3: that relationship already with offensive corner or Drew Pensing and

201
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 3: quarterbacks coach is he Wolfork, both from the Browns, so

202
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 3: that I'm sure is helpful as well. It's not easy

203
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 3: to come into a situation after training camp, after preseason

204
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 3: and have two weeks and have to prepare to be

205
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 3: a starting corps, but you know what, that's the job,

206
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 3: that's what you do. Dobbs is incredibly intelligent. He is

207
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: an astronaut, right. He's had multiple internships with NASA, so

208
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 3: you have, you know, I don't want to say I

209
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 3: don't know if this is fair or not, say you have,

210
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 3: you know, high expectations of being out there. But I

211
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 3: think that there are still high enough expectations so where

212
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 3: I don't think the Cardinals are going out there and

213
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: by having Josh Dobbs or Clayton Toon walk out there,

214
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 3: it's an immediate loss. I truly don't feel that way.

215
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 3: I think you still have a chance with the other

216
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 3: pieces out there. It'll just be interesting how true the

217
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 3: report is of going week to week right of evaluating

218
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 3: or we gonna play Dobbs this week, or we're gonna

219
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 3: play Tune this week. You're not all respect to this coach.

220
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 3: You said you're not gonna do that right, You're gonna

221
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 3: find a quarterback. You're gonna try and create consistency unless

222
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 3: something really happens where you think, okay, this is this

223
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 3: is getting off the rails. And we still have four

224
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 3: six weeks until Kyler Murray comes back. Let's see what

225
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 3: Clayton done. Sure, APPS like if that's the case, But

226
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 3: I personally, I don't really see this being like a

227
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 3: week to week decision on who had the better week.

228
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 3: I think if you're gonna start with Dobbs, you're gonna

229
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 3: rock with Dobbs until Kyler Murray comes back.

230
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: Dobbs does not have a short leash. This is going

231
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: to be his job barring an injury. And then, as

232
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: you said, if things just completely go off the rails

233
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: and you're still four or five weeks before Kyler is

234
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 1: able to return. But I don't see that happening. And

235
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: I'll give Dobbs credit because as we surrounded him in

236
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: the locker room post practice on Wednesday, he knew the

237
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: questions were coming and his response was, yeah, I'm not

238
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: sure yet, that's a JG question. Of course, everyone knows

239
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: what the plan is, Heck Cannon said to himself. The

240
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: players know there's just not gonna be anyone, whether it's

241
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: a head coach, assistant coach, a player that's gonna say

242
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: anything on the record until postgame on Sunday, and whether

243
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: you on the sideline are interviewing QB one after a

244
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: victory over the Commanders.

245
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 3: And we'll have an idea when they run out for

246
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 3: warm ups, we will that's when we will officially know

247
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 3: of seeing who is taking those snaps with that first

248
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 3: team with those offensive linemen, who's who's taking snaps from

249
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 3: yell to for a hole in warm ups essentially, So

250
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 3: that'll be our true confirmation is when we will likely

251
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 3: see Dobbs under center behind for a hole in warm ups.

252
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: So that is something again, as we've been saying now

253
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: for several weeks or since Dobbs arrived, that the anticipation,

254
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: the expectation is that Dobbs is going to start. Now.

255
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: What is interesting if you look at the depth chart

256
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: that the team released, it does say Joshua Dobbs or

257
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: Clayton Tone.

258
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 3: But again, have you ever seen that? By the way,

259
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 3: I'm not sure I've ever seen that on like an

260
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 3: official depth chart where it says or boy.

261
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: I can't remember what team it was. There was a

262
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: team just recently that had listed four running backs with

263
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: an or next to everything.

264
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 3: It kind of made me chuckle. I was thinking, we

265
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 3: see I mean, obviously, if they're both listed as quarterbacks,

266
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: it's either or for them. It just kind of made

267
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: me chuckle when I saw that. I was like, I

268
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 3: don't think I've ever seen that.

269
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: We did see it during the preseason when it was

270
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: Matt Hawk or Nolan.

271
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 3: Cooney, right, but at quarterback.

272
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just again, it seems like games that these

273
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: coaches like to play. Whether you know they call it gamesmanship,

274
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: but I don't. Does the opposition really is not know

275
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: or think or have these conversations. Are they really having

276
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: to watch Clayton tunefilm? Now you do, because you're the backups.

277
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: You want to be familiar with what he is capable

278
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: of doing. And you're probably looking at some Houston tape

279
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: or some preseason tape as well. But Ron Rivera, Jack

280
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: del Rio, they're not. They're not in there going, oh,

281
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: you know what, I better spend an extra two three

282
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: four hours and get these guys on the field a

283
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: little bit longer because we don't know. It could be

284
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: Joshua Dobbs, it could Clayton tune again. Come on, the.

285
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 3: League understands the situation that Cardinals are in with Kyler

286
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 3: Murray not being ready and releasing Colt McCoy and bringing

287
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 3: in Josh Dobbs. I mean, it's again, it seems pretty

288
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 3: clear what the decision is. And again I'd feel like

289
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 3: if you are looking at tape of Josh Dobbs, who

290
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 3: has that experience and that real NFL game footage you

291
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 3: can look at from last year to a certain extent,

292
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 3: if you're gonna prepare for Josh Jobs, you probably feel

293
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 3: pretty prepared for Clayton Tune. It's not like we It's

294
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 3: not like the Cardinals brought in Josh Dobbs. And there's

295
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 3: also a chance Kyler Murray's coming back, right, Like, you

296
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 3: know what you're preparing for. If you're the Commander's.

297
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: Yes, especially week one, it shouldn't be that much of

298
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: a significant difference from one quarterback to the next. If

299
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, Dobbs is unable to go and you

300
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: do see Clayton Tune on the football field, I mean,

301
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: your game plan as a defense is going to be

302
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: the same because there's that much. There's not a big

303
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: difference between between the two quarterbacks. It's not like one

304
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: is a pocket passer and the other one scrambles and

305
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: throws on the run. That's that's not the case between

306
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: any of the quarterbacks, including Kyler Murray.

307
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 3: If I'm I mean, obviously, if you're if I'm Washington,

308
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 3: You're you're gonna look at tape from the quarterbacks. But

309
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 3: if I'm Washington, I'm more watching tape from this offensive line,

310
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 3: right because regardless, you got to get through them to

311
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 3: that quarterback. That's what I would really be focused on

312
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 3: of Okay, we know that either quarterback option is inexperienced

313
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 3: and is not Kyler Murray, So how do we get

314
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 3: to him? But I'm not Washington and I don't get

315
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 3: paid to do that, So that's not how I'm spending my.

316
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: Week, Craig, No, you are not. We just kind of

317
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: follow along and report on what we see, what we hear,

318
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: and what we do see is on this depth chart

319
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: that the team did release, there are three rookies that

320
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: will be among the starters. Two on offense, one on defense,

321
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: Paris Johnson starting right tackle, Michael Wilson starting wide receiver,

322
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: and in Key Troll Clark starting quarterback. Which we already

323
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: talked about three starting rookies, which historically this team, regardless

324
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: of head coach, didn't like to play the rookies early

325
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: outside of Kyler Murray year one. But you wanted to

326
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: get these rookies, these first year players, to get their

327
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: feet wet, kind of experienced life in the NFL, make

328
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: them earn it. Now has Paris Johnson Jr. Earned it?

329
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: He was basically given the job, but he did nothing

330
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: to show that he's not capable already to be a

331
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: starting right tackle.

332
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 3: I think he still earned it through practice and preseason

333
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 3: because what we have seen from Paris consistent.

334
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 1: He wasn't he didn't have to fight.

335
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 3: Right, but he's battling right with Calvin Beachum. Absolutely, I

336
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 3: do think, you know, this team is in a very

337
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 3: different place than they have been in the past when

338
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 3: it comes to playing rookies. But I also think it

339
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 3: just says to you know, it shows what this new

340
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 3: front office and coaching staff is their philosophy when it

341
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 3: comes to the draft and who they're gonna put out

342
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 3: on the field. And that's not to say they're playing

343
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 3: the rookies because they want their rookies to play. I

344
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 3: think that it's a couple things. I think the situation

345
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 3: the Cardinals are in with cap space and who is

346
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 3: on this team and the holes you have of you

347
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 3: drafted rookies who could help you now and you could

348
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 3: really mold into players that can help you for the

349
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 3: long run, but they need help now in those position spots.

350
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 3: And I think you drafted intentionally of needing help on

351
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 3: the defensive line, not just drafting rookies but also undrafted rookies.

352
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 3: I'm thinking of Dante Stills on the defensive line right,

353
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 3: Key Trell Clark as your cornerback, Garrett Williams as your

354
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 3: cornerback when he comes off the NFI list recovering from

355
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 3: an ACL injury. Michael Wilson is wide receiver. I mean,

356
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 3: these are spots that the Cardinals were gonna need help regardless.

357
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 3: I do think though, it says a lot about the

358
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 3: players that were drafted and the work that has been

359
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 3: put in that you have three already listed as your starters,

360
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 3: and not only that, but all the rookies you drafted

361
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 3: made the roster, and a handful of undrafted rookie free agents.

362
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 3: I mean that that is impressive. That's impressive on what

363
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 3: this coaching staff is getting out of them. It's impressive

364
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 3: what the players are bringing to the table. It's impressive

365
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:12,959
Speaker 3: by the front office of what they saw in these

366
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 3: players a scouting department. I mean, all of all, it

367
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 3: really does feel like things you have that hope right

368
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 3: of Okay, it kind of feels like things are turning around,

369
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 3: and it kind of feels like a different vibe. But

370
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 3: I do think that it says a lot that all

371
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 3: of your rookies that you drafted made the final roster,

372
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 3: and you have a handful of undrafted rookies who are

373
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 3: also clearly earning a spot, albeit maybe even on the

374
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 3: practice squad, but can still contribute. And I think that

375
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 3: says a lot to all the parties involved.

376
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: Eleven rookies total on the fifty three man roster, plus

377
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 1: Elijah Higgins, who was the Dolphin's sixth round selection of

378
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: the Cardinals claimed off waivers, and then three undrafted free

379
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: agents running back Imari de Mercado, offensive lineman El Manning

380
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,239
Speaker 1: claimed off the waiver wire from the forty nine ers,

381
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: and cornerbacks Star Thomas claimed off waivers from the Lion,

382
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: so eleven of the fifty three. And then you mentioned

383
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: Garrett Williams, who we soon hopefully will be seeing him.

384
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: I have noticed him on the side during team stretch.

385
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: And John Gains, who I spotted in the lunch room

386
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: with a gigantic brace on his right leg. My guess

387
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: is it's the right knee he has done for the season,

388
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: which is unfortunate because he was going to be your

389
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: backup center.

390
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, that that one is really tough. But also the

391
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 3: wide receiver Janio Arias, who it seems like the staff

392
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 3: really likes real legs his size. I could see him

393
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 3: being called up to the practice squad of if they

394
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 3: need maybe behind a Michael Wilson or Zach Pascal for

395
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 3: that kind of size as well. So it feels again

396
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 3: like things are on the right track in terms of

397
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 3: the players you're drafting, what you're getting out of these rookies,

398
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 3: finding a place for them that not only allows them

399
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 3: to be successful, but give the team success as well

400
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 3: where you need that help.

401
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,959
Speaker 1: Twenty seven new face is on this roster compared to

402
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:07,479
Speaker 1: last year twenty seven and that includes the eleven rookies.

403
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: So what we see on Sunday is going to be

404
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: dramatically different than what we have seen of the last

405
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: four seasons, not only based off personnel, but what the

406
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: offense is going to look like, what the defense is

407
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: going to look like. And I do think there's a

408
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: sense of anticipation with what we hope to see and

409
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: want to see and whether we see all of it

410
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: this week or it's something that takes a couple of weeks.

411
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: Now everyone's going to have their immediate reactions postgame Sunday,

412
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: Monday morning and the over reactions, but I thought it

413
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: was interesting to hear Jeff Rodgers, the assistant head coach

414
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: and special teams coordinator, earlier this week say week one

415
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: is full of surprises, and I wanted to ask good surprise.

416
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: Not the surprise that, oh no, here we go again,

417
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 1: or we just lost X player for the season, but

418
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: a surprise, whether or on offense or defense, a position

419
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: group or a certain player that you go in and

420
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: you come out and go wow. Did not expect that.

421
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: It's a pleasant surprise. It's a wild surprise. And for me,

422
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: I keep coming back to the front seven, specifically the

423
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: outside linebackers. Who's rushing the quarterback? Do you have a

424
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: consistent pass rush this week, next week, next month? And

425
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: is it a consistent player or is a rotation? Because

426
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: right now there is not a single player in that room, Danny,

427
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: that has a resume that has been there and done

428
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: it on a consistent basis. That is a big unknown

429
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: to where if I can see something on Sunday, whether

430
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: it is the entire group or an individual or two,

431
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: and come out Sunday night Monday morning and say, wow,

432
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: that was a surprise.

433
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 3: I asked Gannon earlier in the week about rookie b

434
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 3: J Jalari, who only saw one preseason game recovering from

435
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 3: his knee his knee injury, and who was on a

436
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,239
Speaker 3: snap count, and I asked, is oh jel are going

437
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 3: to be one hundred percent? Is he going to be

438
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 3: in a pitch count? And against that, he's one hundred percent.

439
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 3: So I don't know if that was fully answered my

440
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,719
Speaker 3: question or if it was, he's one hundred percent. He's

441
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 3: gonna be able to play as much as we want

442
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 3: him to. It does seem clear Gannon has really emphasized

443
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 3: that if you are called up on game day, like

444
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 3: you're gonna see the field and that position specifically. He

445
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 3: seems to really like the idea of a rotation and

446
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 3: getting the most out of your players, And to me,

447
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 3: that kind of makes the most sense when you look

448
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 3: at this roster, like you touched on so many inexperienced players,

449
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 3: or even if you are experienced, like a Dennis Gardak,

450
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,479
Speaker 3: right Cam Thomas my J Sanders have a little bit

451
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 3: experienced there. We saw a little flash from those last

452
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 3: two last season. We're not talking about Chandler Jones' numbers.

453
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 3: We're not talking about how you had someone like Marcus Golden,

454
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 3: opposite of Chandler Jones who was able to be disruptive.

455
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 3: You also don't have a JJ Watt or a Zach

456
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 3: Allen in front of you like where I'm not expecting

457
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 3: the same numbers. I do have high expectations, which fair

458
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 3: or not to Zaven Collins his first year as an

459
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 3: outside linebacker. I mean coming in as a starter, with

460
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 3: the size and intelligence and speed and strength that he has,

461
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 3: there are definitely high expectations for him there. But I

462
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 3: do believe you're going to see a true rotation with

463
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 3: those outside linebackers, just when you're looking at the room

464
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 3: and what they bring in and trying to create enough

465
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 3: disruption with what you have. And I think we're still

466
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 3: going to see rotation from what we've seen in practices

467
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 3: in preseason. Looks like there's also going to be a

468
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,479
Speaker 3: heavy rotation on the defensive line. Doesn't look like, you know,

469
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 3: you might have your set three, but it doesn't look

470
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 3: like they're going to be necessarily your main guys. It

471
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 3: really does look like they're going to rotate between the

472
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 3: top six there as well.

473
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: Do we need and maybe this is more of a

474
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: rhetorical question, but do we need to see one player

475
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: or two players stand out as far as rushing the

476
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: quarterback to where you can have the focus be on

477
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: that side, on that player, whether it's Zaven Collins or

478
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: is it better for the Cardinals defense and nick rawlis

479
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: to have multiple guys, multiple weapons, to where if you're

480
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: the other team, you're like, Okay, we can't focus just

481
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: on the left side because that's where Zaven Collins is.

482
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: But he's moving around and oh, wait here comes b

483
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,239
Speaker 1: Joe Jilai, my Jay Sanders. Oh we haven't seen him

484
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: because he's on IR now he's coming back. Do you

485
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: want that guy? Do you want to use your example?

486
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: Need a Chandler Jones or as a rotation? Good enough?

487
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: In the National Football League?

488
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 3: I think this coaching staff will tell you the more

489
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 3: weapons they could have, the better. And again, I think

490
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 3: just looking out the experience of this group, I think

491
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 3: that's a more realistic answer. It'd be great to have

492
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 3: a Chandler Jones, a Max Crosby, a Miles Garrett, somebody

493
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 3: who can you be that monster outside and really command

494
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 3: significant presence and attention from your opposition. I mean this

495
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 3: sound I don't know realistically, I don't know that the

496
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 3: Cardinals have that. I think it be great if somebody

497
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 3: can make that jump this year and show that they

498
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 3: can do that, And maybe it doesn't have to be

499
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 3: on that level. Maybe it's just consistently beating your guy

500
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 3: and getting back to the pocket and disrupting the quarterback.

501
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 3: Maybe a Dennis Kardak or Zavin Collins or Maiji Sanders,

502
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 3: maybe they can do that on a consistent enough level

503
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 3: to where, okay, you know what, that is the main

504
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 3: guy we're going to look at. But I don't think

505
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 3: it's realistic at all to assume that we're going to

506
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 3: see somebody make a jump this year to where it

507
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 3: come this time next year. We are comparing somebody in

508
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 3: this room to a Chandler Jones.

509
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: Nick Rolis, when he addressed the media this week, talked

510
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: about that edge position and fitting the pieces to the puzzle,

511
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: and I think that's what this a lot of this team,

512
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: whether it's offense or defense. You have a lot of

513
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: pieces to a puzzle, and how do you fit those

514
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 1: pieces together to form a picture that you like and

515
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: whether that is sooner rather than later, or when that

516
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: picture is finally made, and maybe it's never complete because

517
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,959
Speaker 1: you're never You never have that perfect game, you know,

518
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: have that perfect roster. And I do think this Cardinals

519
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: team right now, Yeah, they are fifty three players plus

520
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: the practice squad, but it's a lot of pieces and

521
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: some unknown pieces and how you fit everyone together, because individually,

522
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: I've always said you don't have to have the number

523
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: one or the best talent at every single position to

524
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 1: have a good team or a great team. But how

525
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,479
Speaker 1: do those pieces gel together?

526
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 2: I e.

527
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: The offensive line. I don't need five of the best

528
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: and an all star offensive line. I just need five

529
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: guys that can work together and that can be a

530
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: successful offense, whether it's running the ball or throwing the ball.

531
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 3: And that, to me is what a realistic expectation for

532
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 3: this team is. When you look at this roster, the

533
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 3: Cardinals have players that are top of their position. And

534
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 3: whether or not you want to argue, I mean, I

535
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 3: don't know how you could argue Kyler Murray. I think

536
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 3: is in that discussion, Buddha Baker, Hollywood Brown, maybe DJ Humphries.

537
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 3: I mean, there's enough players on this roster to where

538
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 3: you have players to work around. But I do think

539
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 3: that again, with where the Cardinals are with their roster,

540
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 3: I do think that is a more realistic expectation, And

541
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 3: you're right, that can be enough of just having a

542
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 3: well oiled machine with everybody doing their job and working

543
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 3: cohesive enough. You don't have to have a team full

544
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 3: of pro bowlers to find success and make the playoffs

545
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 3: and win games. And that's what the Cardinals find themselves

546
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 3: in and you just have to find a way to

547
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 3: make that work and to win games with what you have.

548
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: And Week one, a lot of the times, is the

549
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 1: week where you can come in and surprise a team,

550
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 1: especially if you're a team that many people believe isn't

551
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: going to be great, where teams just overlook you because

552
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: you're coming out of the gate. Yeah, you've shown some

553
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: things in training camp, open practices, joint practice in preseason,

554
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: but how much have not have how much haven't we

555
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: seen from this offense, this defense, regardless of what the

556
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: personnel is, but how they line up? Now? Are we

557
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: all of a sudden going to see five down linemen

558
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: far as a defense a four man front or five

559
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: man I don't think so, just because of how this

560
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: roster is constructed. But could Nick Rolis do a couple

561
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: of things differently that he has not shown so far

562
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: in any of the preseason games.

563
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 3: And while I don't expect this team to be as

564
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 3: aggressive on fourth downs the way it was under Cliff Kingsbury,

565
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:21,239
Speaker 3: are we going to see that?

566
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:21,719
Speaker 1: Right?

567
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 3: We didn't see any of that in the preseason, which

568
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 3: I understand, right you're wanting to keep things close to

569
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 3: the chest, But in terms of decisions from your head

570
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 3: coach and gain management, I mean, are we going to

571
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 3: see a more aggressive team on fourth down than we're expecting.

572
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 3: There's a lot of questions that I think, even past

573
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 3: week one, it's going to take us a couple of

574
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 3: weeks to really see what the identity of this team

575
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 3: as a whole, in the offense and defense individually is.

576
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: Offensively, do they come out two tight ends, two backs,

577
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: and you're just pounding the ball and relying on the

578
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: running game, Because that was one of the big things

579
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: early on in the offseason with a new coaching staff

580
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: that know, whether whoever you you talk to, whether it

581
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: was an offensive lineman or someone, Yeah, we're gonna run

582
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: the ball. That's gonna be the emphasis of our offense.

583
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: So that's without the expectation, of course, you can't fall

584
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: behind and keep running the ball, especially if you're down

585
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: two or three scores late in the ballgame. But do

586
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: we see more of a ground and pound attack?

587
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 3: Is us seeing Jesse Luketta as a full back in

588
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 3: the final preseason game in Minnesota? Is that realistic to

589
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 3: expect on a week to week basis? Or is that

590
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 3: just let's see what Luketa can give us and we

591
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 3: know we have that in our back pocket if we

592
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 3: need it. That's something that's intriguing to me. Is that

593
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 3: something that they're actually going to use or that was

594
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 3: seeing what you have in him.

595
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: We did see Trey McBride a couple of times line

596
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: up in the backfield and then whether it's block, be

597
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: a lead blocker, or flare out to catch a pass

598
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: just like Luketa did. So is that more because Zach

599
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: Ertz didn't play, Trey McBride didn't play, Jess Swam didn't

600
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: play in that preseason finale, So it's but it does

601
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: does give an opponent something else to think about, whether

602
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: that is a tied end or all of a sudden,

603
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: we do see Luketa playing offense, defense, and special teams

604
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: in the regular season. For him, I'm sure we'd love

605
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: to do whatever it takes to be successful, and was

606
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: a great game to have him wired for sound that

607
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: Vikings preseason game. He was excited. He was talking to

608
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: the offense coaches, Outrey Denson, the running backs coach, and

609
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: wanting to get in there and be as involved as

610
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: possible on offense.

611
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a pretty good listen to listen to on

612
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,959
Speaker 3: our YouTube channel. Jesse Lucina wired him being miked up

613
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 3: for that preseason game. I still think, though, it's going

614
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 3: to take us a couple weeks just looking at the

615
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 3: opponents of really seeing what the identity of this team

616
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 3: is going to look like. And I don't know how

617
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 3: much it will help, but maybe it helps a little

618
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 3: that your head coach, your defensive coordinator, or a bunch

619
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 3: of players have experienced going up against the NFC East,

620
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 3: because those are the first three opponents for.

621
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: The Cardinals, Commanders, Giants, and Cowboys, that team from Dallas

622
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: to in the month of September.

623
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 3: I gotta get started now on you, Craig.

624
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: I was gonna say anything, I'm just gonna.

625
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 3: Alony you weren't gonna say anything that week.

626
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: I'll just ask for the ticket request that you have

627
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: put in for that game. Just don't wear blue, Danny, I.

628
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 3: Know I've learned my lesson.

629
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: By the way, before we wrap up here on Cardinals

630
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: Cover two presented by Hundai, probably partner of the Arizona Cardinals,

631
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: we kind of mentioned the running game sideline exchange is.

632
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, well it's been back a little throughout the turning camps,

633
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 3: but on a weekly basis.

634
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: It's back and week one.

635
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 3: The guest James Connor.

636
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: It's a good guest.

637
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 3: He's a great guest every time, very insightful. He has

638
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 3: experience with Josh Jobs, a little bit back and pit,

639
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 3: you know, just the expectation of this offense, him being

640
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 3: a workhorse running the ball, getting back to where he

641
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 3: was two seasons ago where he finished with the second

642
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 3: most rush touchdowns in the league with fifteen, going up

643
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 3: against this stacked Washington defensive front. So you can check

644
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 3: out that episode on our website and official YouTube channel.

645
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm excited for Connor this season because even in training

646
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: camp he seemed to be I don't know if motivated

647
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: is the right word, but just at a different level

648
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: and operating at a different speed than a lot of

649
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: the players. I mean, he was catching passes in regular

650
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: season four I mean the one handed grab in the

651
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: end zone, I believe was the red and white practice

652
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: where he out jumped Buddha Baker, and then just how

653
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: we attacked the holes during the run game portion of practice.

654
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: Now again you're not tackling and guys are going not

655
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. But he just seemed to have a

656
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: different gear and that just might be a mindset that

657
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: he's operating on from day one, and hopefully it trickles

658
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: down to everyone else in that running back room and

659
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: the rest of his teammates.

660
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 3: I think two, it's a new year, it's a new staff,

661
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 3: it's a new team. But for the veterans that were

662
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 3: here last year, you had four wins, James Connor didn't

663
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 3: have a fully healthy season. Even if they tell you

664
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 3: no from a team standpoint of is there a chip

665
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 3: on your full shoulder, I'd imagine a lot of these

666
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 3: returning players personally have a chip on their shoulder. If

667
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 3: you weren't able to make it a full season or

668
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 3: you didn't have a great season, right, you want to

669
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 3: prove to yourself, to this coaching staff, to everyone out

670
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 3: there watching, I've still got it.

671
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: And just by the fact that there are twenty seven

672
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: new players and a lot of Connor's teammates are no

673
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: longer on the roster. It's an indication that if you

674
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: don't produce, you don't get on board, you're not going

675
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: to be around much longer. And I think we saw

676
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: that at different moments in the offseason.

677
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. There there is no allegiance that has

678
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 3: been made very clear with the players that are here

679
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 3: and the previous and the new coaching staff.

680
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 1: Rather, don't let Calvic know you used his hashtag no allegiance,

681
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: no allegiance.

682
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 3: You know, he shaved his mustache. Yeah, I kind of

683
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 3: miss it. Yeah, in a weird way. I kind of

684
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:57,439
Speaker 3: miss it weird way.

685
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, did not make the final.

686
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,919
Speaker 3: Fifty three man, No, it did not shame.

687
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: Maybe next year you can bring it up though pregame

688
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: huddle your view from the sideline and believe that's what

689
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: it's called. You can bring it back on pregame radio

690
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 1: and paint the picture on the pregame huddle. Gosh, from

691
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: the sideline in Washington.

692
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 3: Paint the picture. I'd have to go back a couple

693
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 3: decades to describe what that mustache looked like. No, I'm

694
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 3: excited to be back on pregame radio. It was an

695
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 3: exciting reason why I wasn't on it during the preseason

696
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 3: because I had other responsibilities doing sideline as a sideline

697
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 3: reporter since those games are not Yeah, I kicked you

698
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 3: guys to the curve of the moment. I got the

699
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 3: chance since those games are not nashally broadcast and it

700
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 3: was all in house, I was able to have that experience,

701
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 3: which was a lot of fun. However, it took me

702
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 3: away from the radio booth pre game. So I'm excited

703
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 3: to be back with all of you guys. I am

704
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 3: very much looking forward to hearing whatever crazy line I

705
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 3: have said. When I haven't been made aware that we

706
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 3: are recording that our producer, jim I Ma Hunter is

707
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 3: going to put in the open. I can't imagine how

708
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 3: many things he's had to decide between of what he

709
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 3: wants use in week one. So looking forward to that.

710
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: That might be the biggest surprise.

711
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, honestly, forget about you want to talk about going

712
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 3: week to week. It's not the quarterback battle. It's what

713
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 3: Omo is putting in the open that I am saying.

714
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: Also, Morning Scramble, I understand is back because I got

715
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,040
