12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: year NFL veteran Drew Stanton So. Three weeks ago yesterday

13
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: gentlemen under Michael Bidwall said he was going to quote

14
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: cast the nets far and wide when it came to

15
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: finding the next head coach. Dare I say the man

16
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: is true to his word. The net has been cast

17
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: far and wide upwards. Now all of eleven difference candidates

18
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: reportedly linked to the Arizona Cardinals. And here we are

19
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: on the last day January, still without a head. Coach,

20
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: and dare I say we will go into February without

21
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: a head coach. When they're done with the search, they're

22
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: going to loan out the net to one of those

23
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: Alaskan fishing boats, you know, one of those tuna boats.

24
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: That's how big the net is, you know, like one

25
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: of those nets you see under the trapeze artists and

26
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: the big top. It's a big net. Grey Has it

27
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: been recast? Though? I guess that's the question after the

28
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: initial rush, if you will drew Now all of a sudden,

29
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: three additional names have been added to the list. Well,

30
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: I think part of it is you want to be

31
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 1: able to take your time and make sure you're getting

32
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: all the information that you can, right, and you don't

33
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: want somebody else to beat you to the punch, knowing

34
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: that there's other openings still out there. And it's this

35
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: posturing that kind of goes on, and you sit there

36
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: and you're saying, Okay, well, we don't want to miss

37
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: out on Sean Payton. If we got a chance to

38
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: get Sean Payton, Well yeah, but you don't want to

39
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: give up a first round pick for Sean Payton. All

40
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: of these things that you look at with these different

41
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: candidates and they all bring different things to the table,

42
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: right each organization, all thirty two teams are completely different,

43
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: have different needs. And now the general manager is set

44
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: in stone of what's going to happen. He is going

45
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: to be able to put his imprint on who is

46
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: going to be hired. And so as you're kind of

47
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: fact checking things, you're looking at things, and even as

48
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: the NFL seasons not even done, you're getting access to

49
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: some of these coaches right that you didn't have access

50
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: to before. So you know, many years ago we saw

51
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: a different coordinator saying, okay, well there's only one head

52
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: coaching job left, and we know as soon as the

53
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl has done, he's taken that job. That's not

54
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 1: the case here. That's not the case in the NFL.

55
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: Right now, there's still a lot of great quality coaches.

56
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,399
Speaker 1: But what you're looking for to lead this team, lead

57
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: this franchise could be vastly different than what the Indianapolis

58
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: culture looking for. And also on the flip side, what

59
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: these candidates are looking for, right You've seen some of

60
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: them pull their names out of the hat. Dan Quinn's

61
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: going back to the Dallas. All of these people that

62
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: you're just trying to figure out. It's always a work

63
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: in progress. You're sitting there and you're always accumulating this information,

64
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: and there's another guy in here interviewing today. So as

65
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: you figure this out, obviously the central and focal point

66
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: is how can you get the most out of Kyler

67
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: Murray and build from there? And that's going to be

68
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: the biggest question of the off season is what can

69
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: this team do and put a head coach in place

70
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: that's going to present optimism for this franchise, for this

71
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: fan base, and for this entire city to rally behind

72
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: the future of what the Arizona Cardinals are going to be.

73
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: We'll get to Kyler Murray here in a moment, but Paul,

74
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: here are the newest names linked to this head coaching search. Tuesday,

75
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: Wednesday and Thursday reported interviews with Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka,

76
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: Bengals defensive coordinator Louis and Rumo, and Bengals offensive coordinator

77
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: Brian Cannell, and bringing the total to eleven different candidates

78
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: linked to this job. Four of those now eleven with

79
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: backgrounds on offense. Why not? To Drew's point, the urgency

80
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: isn't necessarily there. I mean, the music hasn't completely top

81
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: and this musical chairs. You know how it works when

82
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: the music stops and all of a sudden, the hiring

83
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: spree starts. Well, Frank Reich went to Carolina. We figured

84
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: Damiko Ryans. Maybe in the next twenty four hours it'll

85
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: be official going to the Houston Texans, which I think

86
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: was a done deal from the get go. He played

87
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: there a decade the fans want and his wife was

88
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 1: from the Houston area. Okay, Denver, maybe Jim Harbaugh based

89
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,679
Speaker 1: on everything's trending on social media, and the owner actually

90
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: flew to ann Arbor recently. We'll see about that. And

91
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: then you have no idea what Indianapolis is doing. Although

92
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: most figuring there after interviewing about twenty five different candidates,

93
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: they're still gonna end up with Jeff Saturday. So you

94
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: know what, take your time, make sure you get it right.

95
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: To Drew's point, maybe you get some intel from some

96
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: other sources. Now that for example, Cincinnati is out of

97
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs, you can interview their coordinators. You're not exactly

98
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,559
Speaker 1: familiar with what you have under the hood there, so yeah,

99
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: I see it. And on top of all that, dot

100
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: dot dot. If you're truly interested in Sean Payton, and

101
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: it's a matter of negotiating with both Sean Payton and

102
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints, then why not continue to interview

103
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: candidates and let Payton and New Orleans know guess what

104
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: we'll do it We'll hire someone else if you don't

105
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 1: come down and you're asking price, and that's the wild

106
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: card in all this, because not only do you have

107
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: to pay him, but it's the compensation. And how much

108
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: is the asking price with respects to draft picks and

109
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: or players, because that can get a little bit steep. Absolutely,

110
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: And what does New Orleans have right now in terms

111
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: of leverage? Is anybody else going after Sean Payton? What

112
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: does Sean Payton have? Drew? He has Fox, but everyone

113
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: thinks all Fox. Yeah, this isn't like he's John Gruten

114
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football making eight figures. This is a

115
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: pregame Fox show. I'm guessing that leaves a lot to

116
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: be desired for Sean Payne. He'd much rather be a

117
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: head coach. If we're going to be completely honest, Sean

118
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 1: Payton wants three jobs, one in Dallas, two in LA.

119
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: This is not that job. This is not that place.

120
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: It behooves the New Orleans Saints to say, okay, well

121
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: we want a first round pick. Beho Sean Payton said,

122
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to go back to a studio gig

123
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: and do all that. He is a phenomenal coach, he's

124
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: a phenomenal leader of men. But he wants one of

125
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: three jobs and all of those jobs that he thought

126
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: might be open, so he throws his hat in the ring,

127
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: are not open. Sean Payton's not coming here now. It

128
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: also helps for a bargaining tool for the airs on

129
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: the cars and say yeah, we'll leave that outdoor open,

130
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: right like that is a beautiful thing to be able

131
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: to dangle out once you kind of hone in on

132
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: your candidates and say, well, you know, we also like

133
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: Sean Payton. So sometimes these organizations, these coaches, these people,

134
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: they're strategic too. They use the media to their advantage

135
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: and let things float out there on Twitter and Jim

136
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: Harball or anything like that of what's going on in Denver,

137
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: because Denver's the head scratch of they said they're going

138
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: back to square one. They've had the head coaching. Vay

139
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: can see the longest and you're sitting. How do you

140
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: not have a plan in place? How do you not

141
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: understand they didn't have to hire a new GM, they

142
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: didn't have to do any of this stuff, and this

143
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: was a sought after job last year of like, they've

144
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: got a top defense, they've got Russell Wilson as the

145
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: missing link. They had a complete downward spiral of a season.

146
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: But that's still a job that you look at and say,

147
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: I can turn the US around quickly, right, so where

148
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: you're going to end up and what you're going to do.

149
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: But Sean Payton coming here is not a reality in

150
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: my opinion. The three new names, Drew, I know you've

151
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: been You're able to pick up that phone and within

152
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: a phone call or too, you're able to reach out

153
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: to anyone across in the NFL. That's just how vast

154
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: your connections are during your time and how old I am. No,

155
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying how vast of your knowledge, not not old,

156
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: your your experience. Yeah, the three new names Kafka, Callahan,

157
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: and Anna Rumo. Any familiarity, any connections, know anything of

158
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: them outside of the fact that Kafkas I went back

159
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: and looked it up. He's thirty five years old. He'll

160
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: be thirty six when the season begins. By comparison, Cliff

161
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: was thirty nine when he was hired four years ago. Look,

162
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: I think you've got to get ahead of the curve,

163
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: especially somebody like Mike Kafka that played at Northwestern, was

164
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten against him. I know him. We

165
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: have the same agent. I know Mike Kafka. Look at

166
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: what he did when he took over in Kansas City

167
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: to help Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes even talks about how

168
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: good he is. That's a reputable source. Right to be

169
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: able to do that. You so plant him and you

170
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: take him over when there was so many questions marks

171
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: in New York about what's going to happen with Daniel Jones?

172
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: Is he worth getting paid? Is he doing any of this? Right?

173
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: You take an offensive mind, a guy that has a

174
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: disposition to him and he has the ability to have

175
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: an effect wherever he goes. Mike Kafka is that guy,

176
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: and when you identify that guy right, wrong or indifferent,

177
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: you go all in on him. Much like Sean McVay. Right,

178
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: there's just guys that are cut above the rest, are different,

179
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: that have those kind of capabilities. You can't miss out

180
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: on him. An age is not a limiting factor, right,

181
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: And then you look at Calahan, you obviously know who

182
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: he's the son of, right where he's been the pedigree.

183
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: I don't know either one of those coordinators very well

184
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, but you know the type of offense they're

185
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: going to bring to the table. You look at all

186
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: of these things and there's so much that goes into it.

187
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: So there's an idea there. Right. You look at the

188
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator amazing, maybe the best really at making second

189
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: half of judgments. That's what the game of football is about.

190
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: What do you do after you get punched in the

191
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: mouth and your plan is thrown by the wayside. So

192
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: all three these candidates are very, very intriguing in my mind.

193
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: If the other guys were so good before, then there's

194
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: probably a chance they would have been hired or they're

195
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: sitting there saying, we got to at least give these

196
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: three a chance, because look, the finish line is out

197
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: there in front of us. We're eventually going to get there,

198
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: but we want to cast that net so far and

199
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: wide that we're going to take our time. Jonathan Gannon

200
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: is another guy right for the Eagles that you want

201
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: to sit there and say they had the most sex

202
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: and yes, sometimes it's personal. They had the most sacks

203
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: since the eighty five Bears seventy seventy. Yeah, yeah, So

204
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: I don't care what you're doing. Part of that is scheme, right.

205
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: So to be able to there, you want to interview him,

206
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: and you look at the different coordinators that you get

207
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: access to. You want to be respectful of their time

208
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: and until they pulled their name out of the ring,

209
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: let's go for it right. You don't know who it's

210
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: going to be, and you've got to be able to

211
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: get as much information and take your time as strenuous

212
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: of a process that it is. You've got to get

213
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: it right, because they have not gotten it right within

214
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: this organization the last couple of times. Mike Kafka interviewing today,

215
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's one thing to be the QB coach

216
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: of Patrick Mahomes in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen. Then he

217
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: was a passing game coordinator. But what he did with

218
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones this past year, the difference was significant. He

219
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: was a turnover machine until this year with Mike Kafkun,

220
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: Brian Dable and Daniel Jones. I mean maybe the most

221
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: surprising season of any quarterback this year. You look at

222
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: not only the Arizona Cardinals, but according to reports, Kafka

223
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: has also interviewed with the Colts, Panthers, and Texans. Obviously

224
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: Carolina going with Frank Raik. Can we assume that Damiko

225
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: Ryans is going to get the job in Houston. That

226
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: leaves three other vacancies in addition to the Cardinals still left.

227
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: But we talk about what this team needs as far

228
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 1: as a head coach with respects to Kyler Murray. Well,

229
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: some news on QB one as reported by NFL Networks

230
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: and Rappaport, When is Kyler Murray going to be ready

231
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: in this topic for sure has come up during these

232
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: interviews as Murray recovers from an ACL injury and a

233
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: torn meniscus. My understanding is he is going to take

234
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: his time and make sure this thing is one hundred

235
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: percent right. He is young, he's got a long career.

236
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: He's not going to rush, So do not be surprised

237
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: if we don't see him to start the season or

238
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: maybe even by the midway point. This injury has to heal.

239
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: Perfectly interesting choices of words in that report for me,

240
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: drew as you look at hearing Rappaport say one hundred percent, right,

241
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: heal perfectly. Surgery was done on January third. Kyler recently

242
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: on Instagram posted a picture with a gigantic scar and

243
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: stitches still in the knee, looked exhausted sitting on a

244
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: training table, So that rehab has already begun. Question is

245
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: is that week one? Is it as Rappaport suggested, potentially

246
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: week eight or week nine. It's a big unknown at

247
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, it's a It's a ginormous unknown, right,

248
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: And I'm always curious, are you gonna call him K

249
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: one QB one? Well, I mean, how do you decide

250
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: for what you're gonna call just off the top of Okay, yeah,

251
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: you just let a fly. I like it. So in

252
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 1: saying that you've got to have a plan in place

253
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: for your quarterback, for that quarterback room in general, right,

254
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: if Kylar is not going to come back, and hopefully

255
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: he does, you know, I'll part of the football as

256
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 1: much as he can possibly do without putting him in

257
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: harm's way. Being one hundred percent, what does that look

258
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: like is that Kyler's assessment is that the training room's

259
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: assessment is that the coach's assessment and a communication is

260
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: going to be imperative moving forward and having a realistic

261
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: expectation of what that's going to be, and then having

262
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: a contingency plan in place. We're very fortunate right now

263
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: to have Cult McCoy on the roster. Depending on what

264
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: offense comes into this system could have an effect on

265
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: that or what the philosophy is of keeping three quarterbacks

266
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: versus two quarterbacks right what a head coach wants to do.

267
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: So that's why I think you're seeing this slow play

268
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: as far as who you're going to hire as a

269
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: head coach, because that all fixed into roster manipulations throughout

270
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: the course of the season being able to go into

271
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: Week one and having a vastly different plan. And that's

272
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: really where I thought. You know, the Cardinals struggled this

273
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: year's They had so many things that they had to

274
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: adapt on the fly, right, all of a sudden, Dhop

275
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: misses the first six games and then Hollywood Brown gets hurt.

276
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: So you're not getting all of your guys on the

277
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: same active roster that you're hoping for. So what do

278
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: you in place? You have to have a strong culture

279
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: and philosophy of what you're going to do, and Monty

280
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: touched on it in his introductory press conference, But when

281
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: you're interviewing these head coaches, Okay, you're going to have

282
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: Kyler week one, what does that look like? You're gonna

283
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: have Kyler midway through the season, what does that look like?

284
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: And have these coaches extract to them what they're thinking about,

285
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: because that is the starting point. And if you don't

286
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: like that answer right off the bat, then nothing else matters.

287
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: Because Kyler Murray needs to get back to being the

288
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl caliber quarterback that everybody is looking for because

289
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: you invested in him that much. There has to be

290
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: a plan in place, and you talked about the offensive

291
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: minds that are in place. You need somebody that has

292
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: the capability to get through to Kyler Murray to get

293
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: the most out of Kyler Murray. I'm always intrigued about

294
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: where these reports come from and why. Like I get it,

295
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: it's Championship Sunday. The NFL insiders need to have reports,

296
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: they need to have information. So maybe that's part of

297
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: why this comes out. Doesn't seem to be all that

298
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: newsworthy unless it's team Kyler, unless it's his agent or

299
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: maybe his dad, saying, hump the brakes on any unrealistic

300
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: expectations of him being there for Week one or maybe

301
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: even training camp. No, he's not gonna rush. It's gonna

302
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: have to heal perfectly, quote unquote. Or if you want

303
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: a conspiracy theory, is this report out there trying to

304
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: tell the Saints that, you know what, if you take

305
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: a pick next year, it could be a really good

306
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: pick because the Cardinals are going to be without the

307
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback for at least a portion of the upcoming season.

308
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: I always wonder what is the genesis of a report

309
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: like that, the how, why, when, where? And what does

310
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: it all mean exactly who gains the most by that

311
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: report from Ian Rappaport And I love CALVISI conspiracy theory.

312
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: There's always said there's always one, sometimes two, depending on

313
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: what's going on in the off season. So we've got one,

314
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: maybe even two already. Yeah, and the third is going

315
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: to be when Drew later tells us what Tom Brady's doing,

316
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: his former teammate and if he's gonna end up in

317
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: the division and back with the forty nine ers who

318
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: have their own quarterback injury issues. Because those rumors are

319
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: flying around big time in the last twenty four hours.

320
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: Go ask Gronk. Gronk will tell you. Well, Gronk will

321
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: be in town soon, as will a lot of people

322
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: be in town. Four Super Bowl fifty seven, Eagles and Chiefs.

323
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: More on that as we continue here on the Cardinals.

324
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: Read seat report presented by a SeatGeek your ticket the

325
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: great seats. Cardinals still looking for head coach. They do

326
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: have a general manager. Some insights into Manti Austin Ford.

327
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: As we continue here on the Arizona Cardinals. Where you

328
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: doing network the specifics in terms of leadership, in developing

329
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: players and coaches, in being a teacher of fundamentals, details,

330
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: and techniques. We're trying to build a sustainable program here.

331
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: This is not a short term fix. So we want

332
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: a coach that sees the big picture and understands that

333
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: we're not happy, which is the results of twenty twenty three.

334
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: We're building this for extended championship teams as we move forward.

335
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: Cardinals General manager Monty astin Fort and his introductory press

336
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: conference on January seventeenth, officially named GM on Monday, January sixteenth.

337
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: So yes, the search for a head coach continues. But

338
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: what is the new general manager looking for and you

339
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: heard there, Paul, not just the quick fix. Yes, everyone

340
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: would like to go from four and thirteen to thirteen

341
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: and four, But what do you do after that quick fix?

342
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: Make it sustained success year after year after year, which

343
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: Manti had in New England. And he also had a

344
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: real commitment to the line of scrimmage. And I think

345
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: you're going to see that, and I think what we

346
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: saw in that opening press conference will also see his

347
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: supreme attention to detail. That's his reputation, and so I'm

348
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: very curious starting with a senior ball that's going on

349
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: right now with the Cardinals talent evaluators out there and

350
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: his I for talent and then reportedly his assistant GM,

351
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 1: Dave Sears, they've hit a lot of home runs in

352
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: Detroit the last couple of years running those drafts. We

353
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: know the Rams success in building that Super Bowl roster

354
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: wasn't just the premier players, the Aaron Donalds and the

355
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramseys. They pulled a lot of really productive players

356
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: out of Day two and three. And that's the reputation

357
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: of Amani asin Fort and Dave Sears, and I think

358
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: that's where the attention to detail comes in, and we've

359
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: already talked about. Over the last fifteen drafts, the Cardinals

360
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: have drafted in the first or second round only two

361
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 1: offensive linemen and interior defensive lineman only three, and one

362
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: of those is Clais Campbell way back in two thousand

363
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,239
Speaker 1: and eight. So I think there's going to be more

364
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: of a commitment to the line of scrimmage, especially in

365
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: the division you play. You look at the Super Bowl

366
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: teams or at least those four teams that were in

367
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: the championship games, they're all very, very talented in the trenches,

368
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 1: both sides of the line, specifically the offensive line. You

369
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: just have one and I'm not counting Rodney Hudson. I'm

370
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: not expecting him to be here next season. But you

371
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: only have one of your projective five starting offensive lineman

372
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: under contract for next year, and that's DJ Humphreys. But Drew,

373
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: it's always you build from the inside outs in this case,

374
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: either line of scrimmage, but in your background, it's you

375
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: need to sol an offensive line because if you don't

376
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: have the protection, you don't have the running lanes, you

377
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 1: have nothing offensively. Yeah, I mean it starts up front

378
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball and the whole poly

379
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: pencil neck over. There's got to figure it out, because

380
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: that's where exactly where I would start from the standpoint

381
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: of you have to be able to establish that line

382
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and you can feel it everywhere else the

383
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: effects of it if you are stopping it and then

384
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: also adapting an adjustine throughout the course of the game.

385
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: You know, the great teams that I've been on were

386
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: able to assert themselves the line of scrimmage and win

387
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage. And again you see it

388
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. When you don't

389
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 1: have that capability to stop the run, you don't have

390
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 1: the ability to get after the quarterback on third down

391
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: in a true pass and situation, You've got to bring

392
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: more guys to the party. You've got to expose that

393
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: back end. And when you can keep guys back there,

394
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: you can keep the shell in place and get for

395
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: them with four. Those are the teams that have the

396
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: success that's going to allow you to be able to

397
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: do it. I mean, you look at Chris Jones last week,

398
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: and he just decided he was going to take over

399
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: that game. Obviously, he did not like the comments about

400
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: Burrowhead Stadium, and he came in there and out of

401
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 1: the plays that he was in there, even getting double teamed. Right,

402
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: You see guys that have the effect there and what

403
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: they can do, and you have to make a concerted

404
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: effort in the draft because once you get them on

405
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: your roster, you don't let them leave your building. You

406
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: don't let those guys out of your building because they

407
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: are so hard to find, because they have such a

408
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: drastic effect on an offense, on game planning, on all

409
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: these things. I mean, we've seen at firsthand with Aaron

410
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: Donald and what that effect can be. And again, nobody

411
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: would have been able to predict him being that good.

412
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: But you've got to draft them in order to see

413
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: if you can develop them or they come in guns

414
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: plays and right off the bat looking for starters. You're

415
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: looking for depth as well, something the voice of the

416
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, Mike Keith discussed recently on the Big Red Rage.

417
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: I think that's what Monty has helped do well. He

418
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: you're in his time about how you're going to piece

419
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: together not just the one through ten. I think a

420
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: lot of us could get the one through ten. It's

421
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: the eleven through sixty nine counting the practice squad. That's

422
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: really the trick, and that's where I think that Austin

423
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: for training and what he's going to get across the

424
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: staff is going to show up. I think the Cardinals

425
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: will be a much deeper team in terms of players

426
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: that can help them over a period of time. Paul,

427
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: all you have to do is look at the number

428
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: of different offensive line combinations this team had this past season.

429
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 1: There were ten. Now you look at the two teams

430
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: still alive, and their health on the law offensive line

431
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: has been phenomenal. Now, you've got to be a little

432
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: bit lucky as well to get this far. But when

433
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: you're having that constant turnover, not sharing which five you're

434
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,719
Speaker 1: going to have weekend or week out. If you do

435
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: lose somebody or several players, as the Cardinals did, who's

436
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: that next guy? Next couple of guys? Are they ready?

437
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: Are they capable? Casey and Phillies offensive have been so

438
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: healthy it's almost incomprehensible. Based on the season we just

439
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: experienced with the Arizona Cardinals. Chiefs amissed two starts all year,

440
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: both by the left guard. The Eagles amissed three offensive

441
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 1: line starts all year, two by the right tackle, one

442
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: by the left tackle. And then think of all this starts.

443
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: The Cardinals lost, now many starters they just lost for

444
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: the season. And then to talk about the defensive line,

445
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: and to build on Drew's point, you know that NFC Championship,

446
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: the Eagles had a sixty two percent quarterback pressure eight,

447
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: which was the Eagles highest. I think that's the highest

448
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: in a playoff game in the next gen stat era,

449
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: which goes back to like twenty sixteen. And then the

450
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: AFC Championship, Casey had five sacks at Joe Burrow and

451
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: Chris Jones had eight pressures, and they tracked those eight

452
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: plays he had there were three sacks, two by him,

453
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: one by someone else, and then five incompletions. So that

454
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback was extremely effective against Joe Burrow. Yeah,

455
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: and it can have that effect on the game, right,

456
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: And you look at these guys. But I think on

457
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: top of that, right, not only drafting those guys and

458
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: doing it, it's developing those guys. So you look at that.

459
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: I am a firm believer the scheme can actually help

460
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: the offensive lineman stay healthy. What they're running, what they're doing,

461
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: the disconnect if you will, between the offensive line, the

462
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,959
Speaker 1: play calls, the run game, all of that stuff rears

463
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: its ugly head. And sometimes when you get all these

464
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: guys on the same page and you get the continuity

465
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: and you get all this, it allows you to go

466
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: out there and play as a unit. When you are

467
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: able to run the football, when you do all of

468
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: these things and you can kind of adapt and adjust

469
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: to what's going on, that scheme is going to play

470
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: into that. And when you can get after the quarterback

471
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: and you don't have to send a bunch of guys

472
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: and you can keep guys fresh. I don't know what

473
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 1: the numbers are. Your next gense that guy. So how

474
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: many snaps did Chris Jones have? That's a great question.

475
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: I do not see that. I think thirty five. I

476
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: saw thirty five. I don't know if that's true or not.

477
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: Actually sounds light, But no, wonder he so effective he

478
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: got double team thirty one out of thirty five snaps.

479
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: I think wow. So in saying that you've got to

480
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: change your scheme to try and stop Chris Jones and

481
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: doing all this, there's so many games within the game

482
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: that you don't realize until you're watching it. And then

483
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he gets a one on one

484
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: rush against their arguably the least talented of the five

485
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,719
Speaker 1: offensive alignment at right tackle for the Cincinnati Bengals, when

486
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: it matters most gets the sack. All of a sudden,

487
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: they punt the ball, So you're posturing setting everything up

488
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: for when it matters most. They did different offensive line

489
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: calls to try to get a five down call by that,

490
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: so the center has to stay solid and Chris Jones

491
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: is going to get a one on one. There's so

492
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: many different things you can do within the scheme that

493
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: are able to do that much on top of offensive

494
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: alignment typically get hurt when they get rolled up on

495
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: what's happening there. So how you do stuff, how you

496
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: teach stuff, all of that plays into being able to

497
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: stay healthy and being able to do it and then

498
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 1: negate these feeders pass rushers were seeing opposite of you. Well,

499
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: there's two game wreckers potentially in this year's draft, and

500
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 1: Jalen Carter and Will Anderson. When you're holding that number

501
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: three overall pick, do you take one of those two

502
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: if they are available, or again that talking of trade back,

503
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: because there are a number of holes on this team,

504
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: both offense and defense. For more on what the general

505
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: manager of the Arizona Cardinals may or may not do.

506
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: Mike Keith again voice of the Tennessee Titans, on what

507
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: he saw in Austin Ford's three seasons and Titans and

508
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans one of the more popular people on

509
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: the football side with the non football folks. Meaning he's

510
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: a really good guy, but he's got all the requisite

511
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: skills that come from being trained in the way that

512
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: he was, and that discipline will work with his style overall.

513
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: And that's because he will be able to blend the

514
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: personality and the fact that he gets along with folks

515
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: with that discipline of how he's going to do that

516
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: job based on that Patriots training, I think you sort

517
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: of get the best of both worlds with manti ast

518
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: Ford again. That is the voice of the Tennessee Titans.

519
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: Mike Keith recently on the Big Red Rage. Monty has

520
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: already made one decision, that's according to reports, hiring assistant

521
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: general manager Dave Sears, Lions director of college scouting. Not

522
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: official via the Arizona Cardinals, although Chris Spielman with the

523
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions on the Wolf and Luke Show talking up

524
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: Dave Sears. He is a talented evaluator as I've been around,

525
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: and I've been around a lot of them in my

526
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: football life. He is a team guy. He is a

527
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: leader because he led our college department. He's a great communicator.

528
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: He's not looking to serve Dave Sears. He's looking to

529
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: serve the Arizona Cardinals. Probably one of the humblest, smartest

530
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: football men I've been around. He's a young guy. I

531
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: think it's no surprise that he was plucked from our staff.

532
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: People that know him and been around him. He knows

533
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: what he's doing and he's excellent as a talent evaluator,

534
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: whether it's Mike Keith or Chris Spillman talking about Monti

535
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: Asinford and Dave Sears respectively. Paul, it's that talent evaluator

536
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: this team, whether it's in free agency which comes before

537
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: the draft or the draft at the end of April,

538
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 1: what are you evaluating? What does this team need and

539
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 1: the direction moving forward. I like the fact Dave Sears

540
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: was around Aaron Donald. I like the fact Dave Sears

541
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: was in Detroit and they were a part of that

542
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: decision and an evaluation of Aidan Hutchinson, because where are

543
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: you at number three in the draft, It's most likely

544
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: going to be Jaalen Carter or Will Anderson. So if

545
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: Jalen Carter is him, as the kids say, if Jalen

546
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: Carter is Aaron Donald, if he's Chris Jones, then absolutely

547
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: you stick at number three and you take that guy.

548
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 1: Although I love the scenario of Indianapolis trading up one

549
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: and taking their quarterback and then you get a second

550
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: round pick and you trade back to four and you

551
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: still get your guy. I love that. I love that scenario.

552
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: But regardless, regardless, if you can get that game record right,

553
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,719
Speaker 1: or you can build your offensive line, like the Niners

554
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: went into that championship game with the world's best front

555
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: seven or at least arguably, and that Eagle's offensive line

556
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: led by Jason Kelsey. They had twelve first down runs,

557
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: they had a half dozen chunk runs of ten or

558
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: more yards, They had ninety three yards before contact. And

559
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: I know that Niners defense caved in in the second

560
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: half because they had no quarterback and things got lopsided.

561
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 1: But to me, that's the key to this Super Bowl.

562
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: Is this that Philly offensive line. What are they gonna

563
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: be able to do against Frank Clark. Chris Jones goes

564
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: based on what we saw in the NFC Championship, they're

565
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: equipped well. And we talked so much about the Bengals

566
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: offensive line the week prior, and then all of a sudden, Oh,

567
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: those three backups held their own. And then you're facing

568
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and Chris Jones, and all of a sudden

569
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: that Bengals offensive line wasn't as good, and that's just

570
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: that's what happens. Yeah, well, then you also got to

571
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: stop Frank Clark, and you got to be able to

572
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: stop everybody else. And that's the depth you know that

573
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: you hear might Keith talk about with what's going on

574
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: in MONTI assa fort being able to bring that here.

575
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: So I think you look at that, you feel good

576
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 1: about what he wants to bring to the table because

577
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: you're gonna if you keep them, they're gonna have to

578
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 1: play at some point. Then again, the Niners tried to

579
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: block his son Reddick with a tight end. You're like,

580
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: what's going on there? I don't know why teams do that.

581
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 1: That still blows my mind. I remember sitting back to them,

582
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: I'd be like, why are we blocking him? With him

583
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: is the offensive lineman. Yeah, speaking of Hassan Reddick for

584
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,959
Speaker 1: the former Arizona Cardinals draft pick wrecking that game. In

585
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: the first eight minutes, we'll talk about the NFC Championship

586
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: and the AFC Championship as we continue as the Arizona

587
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: Cardinals Red Sea Report presented by SeatGeek their tickets to

588
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: Great Seats. This is the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. We're

589
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: down to five seconds and the Eagles have been the

590
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: NFC's test team all season. One zeros on the clock

591
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: and they will carry that momentum with big wins in

592
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: the Divisional round against the Giants and here in the

593
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: Championship PARTI in San Francisco, Oh the Way to Arizona

594
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: and Super Bowl fifty seven. The Philadelphia Eagles are going

595
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. I can finishing thirty one to

596
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: seven win over San Francisco back in the Super Bowl,

597
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: looking for their second championship in six years. Kevin Harlan

598
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: on Westwood won the final call of the NFC Championship

599
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: game Eagles over the forty nine Ers thirty one to seven.

600
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: It was lopsided. It was lopsided. Paul very early in

601
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: that game after Brock Purty gets knocked out of it

602
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: with an elbow injury, which we now know as a

603
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,239
Speaker 1: torn UCL and is going to require six months of

604
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: rehab after surgery. You bring in your backup, Josh Johnson,

605
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: he suffers a concussion. Purty has to come back and

606
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: just hands the ball off, and at that point the

607
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: game would already been decided. But an impressive showing by

608
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. I'm gonna say this now before Eagles

609
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: fans start descending on the valley. Okay, that's so, because

610
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: I might fear for my life if I say this

611
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: next week. But as a team ever had an easier

612
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: path to a Super Bowl as it team member earned

613
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl less than the Eagles just trouncing the Giants. Yes,

614
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: they earned the buy, I get it. But then Niners

615
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: team the lost Brock Party already the third string quarterback

616
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: in a rookie on the first series, and then Josh

617
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: Johnson went out early in the second half, and they

618
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: essentially played the whole second half without a quarterback. So

619
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: I ask you guys, as a team ever had an

620
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: easier path to a Super Bowl than the Eagles twenty

621
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: twenty two, I would have put Christian McCaffrey at quarterback.

622
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: It seemed like they would they were trying to go

623
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: I would have done it. Yeah, I would have done

624
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: that one hundred percent because it was still somewhat close.

625
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: At that point, you've got an opportunity. But to your point, right,

626
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: they also earned that. They jumped out on every single team.

627
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: The thing that's going to be interesting when they didn't

628
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: jump out on the Washington Commanders, they lost, right, They

629
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: jumped out on every single team this year. And when

630
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: they do that, you have the ability to stay two dimensional.

631
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: You can run the football, you can do all these things.

632
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: The Kansas City Chiefs jump out on teams too. So

633
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: if the Kansas City Chiefs jump out on the Philadelphia Eagles,

634
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: can Jalen Hurts actually throw the football when he has

635
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: to to be able to do do it? That's gonna be

636
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: the biggest question mark the Super Bowl. I'm not gonna

637
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: be here next week, so I gotta get my own

638
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: little nugget in sword for that. Since Vanabosh take my spot.

639
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: But in saying that they have done such a masterful

640
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: job of running the football, being able to understand situational football,

641
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: their offensive line coach, I was with the Michigan State

642
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: the best in the league arguably, but how well he

643
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: has those guys playing all on the same page, all

644
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: of these things. He's a tremendous coach. He's getting in

645
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: his due respect. He has been a carryover for Nick Sirianni.

646
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: He's been there since Chip Kelly. He is special when

647
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: it comes to offensive line play, getting these guys to

648
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: play together. And you've got veterans across the board. You

649
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: talked about the continuity that exists there, and when they

650
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: get up on people, they impose their will on people.

651
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: And then as soon as you try to put more

652
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: people in the box because they're doing that, they're gonna

653
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: play action and then there's gonna be even more separation

654
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: on the scoreboard. So much like the San Francisco forty

655
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:05,959
Speaker 1: nine ers did a masterful job of when we sit

656
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: there and say, well, they just don't beat themselves, these

657
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: teams at this point they don't beat themselves, and injuries

658
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: kind of play into it. But that's going to be

659
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: the thing is the teams that like to establish their

660
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: run first and do all of that. What happens if

661
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: the run gets taken away? Yeah, no, and look at

662
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: that Eagles offensive line Jason Kelsey and all Pro center.

663
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: We know that Lane Johnson and all Pro right tackle,

664
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: their left tackle six eight three sixty, can't pronounce his name.

665
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: He's a Pro Bowl alternate, and not like Tyler Huntley

666
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: today being named to the Pro He's a legitimate Pro

667
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: Bowl alternate the first time around. Okay, so you take

668
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: that offensive line, but to your point, you look at

669
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: that NFC Championship game and that initial opening touchdown by Philly.

670
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: They got a big break on the DeVante Smith fourth

671
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: down reception. Fox never showed an angle and Philly was

672
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: smart enough to get on the ball right away and

673
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: snap it, no doubt about that. And then at the

674
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: end of the first half, obviously the forty nine ers

675
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: imploded for the first time maybe all year. You saw

676
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: the Niners truly beat themselves. Three defensive penalties on that

677
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: touchdown drive. Then they had the turnover deepen their own

678
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: and boom, all of a sudden, fourteen points tacked down.

679
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: And what was a seven seven game and it'll be

680
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: in twenty one seven and a half time. And then

681
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: considering the quarterback situation game over three too little turnovers,

682
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: eleven total penalties by the forty nine ers and that

683
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,959
Speaker 1: league's number one ranked defense had one hundred and forty

684
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: eight rushing yards allowed on them in that game, and

685
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: they wore down all the scoring for the Philadelphia Eagles

686
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: as far as touchdowns came on the ground. And that

687
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: is to your point. You look back at when the

688
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: Cardinals play the Eagles in Week five, it was fourteen

689
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: to nothing five minutes into the second quarter this game

690
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: as well, and you jump out and then all of

691
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: a sudden you can hand the ball off to your

692
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: stable of running backs. Yeah, and then you're getting more

693
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: manageable down in distance. You feel good about it because

694
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: you're like, hey, we're going to kick this away. We're

695
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: not going to put the ball in harm's way. We're

696
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: trying to shrink this game down. Much like to bring

697
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: up a sore subject. They are Zona Cardinals, such a

698
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: good job of last year, right, they would close out

699
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: games with James Connor that four minute offense. They go

700
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: into four minute mode. The Philadelphia Eagles go into it

701
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: earlier because they have the capability of Jalen Hurts. They

702
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: can do different things and they can be able to

703
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: stay on schedule with them there and wear you down

704
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 1: and They take pride in wearing you down. They take

705
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: pride and taking the number one defense in the league,

706
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: rush defense out to the deep waters and drowning them

707
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 1: to steal Dan Campbell's quote right to be able to

708
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: do that. You take pride in that when you can

709
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,959
Speaker 1: take somebody's will and you do what they do best,

710
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: and then you take it to them and just do that,

711
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: you strip them of the confidence. And then those guys

712
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: are waving the white flag. Come the fourth quarter, they

713
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: are already halfway back on the plane, ready to get

714
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: out of there and start their off season. I think

715
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: a twenty twenty one you bring that up, James Connor.

716
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: I automatically think a week four in the big win

717
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: at the Rams to go four and oh you Jack

718
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: stomp La and you had in a twelve play drive,

719
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: eleven runs in a fuel goal and you took over

720
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,720
Speaker 1: eight minutes off the clock. It was a thing of beauty.

721
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: I kind of sound like Wolfley right now. But everyone

722
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: on the sideline, defensive guys getting up off the bench

723
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 1: because you're running the ball with impunity. And what is it, Drew?

724
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: You tell me if I'm accurate on this. In my

725
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: almost twenty years in the sideline. When you're able to

726
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 1: physically run the football and just jack stop a front seven,

727
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: it just stokes the sideline. Guys just get fired up.

728
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: Defensive guys get fired up watching that Beanie Wells back

729
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 1: in the day, James Connor, these big backs and where

730
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: they're just trucking dudes and you're running the ball four

731
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: or five yards to carry. There's just something that I

732
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 1: don't know. It just it just ignites the sideline. Well.

733
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: And when you know it's coming and you can't stop it,

734
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing, right, Once you smell that, once

735
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: you taste that, once you experience that, and you just

736
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: keep going and going and going. They know what's coming

737
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: and you line up again. Okay, let's do it again.

738
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: Let's do it again. You guys would do that at

739
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: Seattle twenty two and twenty three dollars. Oh yeah, you know,

740
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 1: you see it time and time again, of like, Okay,

741
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: who is going to break, who is going to tap out?

742
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: Who's going to do any of this stuff? Because it's

743
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: going to be that way and it's not going to

744
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 1: be pretty. That's a far cry from what the NFL

745
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: is today. But the teams that can do that the

746
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: teams that have the ability to do that, those are

747
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,879
Speaker 1: the teams that close out games, because again, you're going

748
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: back to old school football. You're protecting the football. You're

749
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: lining up in you know the old run drills where

750
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: it's nine on seven and you're in a disadvantage of

751
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: an offense, but you've got to be able to do it.

752
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: They're adding safeties in the box. I mean I remember

753
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: doing that and I was like, you sit there and

754
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: you hand the ball off and say, okay, how can

755
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: we do it. It's all will, it's want to, it's effort.

756
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: It's the wherewithal to say I am going to line

757
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: up and I'm going to beat the person next to me.

758
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: And that becomes infectious. And like you said, that has

759
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: an effect on a defense that's saying, man, we're gonna

760
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: get the ball back, and there's going we're gonna be

761
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: a fraction time left. We're in a win win situation

762
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: no matter what happens here. So all of those things

763
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: play into it. Much like you saw Kansas City. You

764
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: think of them, You're like, they don't want to run

765
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: the ball. Isaiah Pacheco, the way he runs the football

766
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: is angry, and we'll talk about that the next secondment,

767
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: because we'll get to the AFC Championship. But say, yeah,

768
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: we'll say seventh round draft pick Isaiah Pacheco, by the way,

769
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: and quick shout out here to Hassan Reddick. Two sacks

770
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: of the three that the Eagles had against the forty

771
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: nine ers. I don't know, Paul, is it better to

772
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: have the Eagles in this facility versus the NFC West

773
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: rival forty nine? I mean, I don't know. I'll tell you.

774
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: We all know a son Reddick and just what a

775
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: good human being he is. He's now one of the

776
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 1: best defenders on the planet. But for him to endure

777
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 1: what he endured for three years where they try to

778
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: make him an inside linebacker and he never complained. He

779
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 1: really didn't. He tried, didn't quite work. I think he

780
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: was a little skeptical like most people. But they kept

781
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: trying and he kept participating, and now look what he's

782
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: doing off the edge. Unbelievable. You're happy for the person

783
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: and you're excited about the player when you talk about

784
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 1: his son Reddick nineteen and a half sacks in nineteen

785
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: games this year. This is the Arizona Cardinals Radio network

786
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: and it is over. The Champions City Chiefs are going

787
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl for the third time in four years.

788
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: The Chiefs within the AFC Championship and get revenge against

789
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: the Bengals twenty three to twenty the final and arrowhead.

790
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: It'll be the Chiefs and the Eagles in Super Bowl

791
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:29,439
Speaker 1: fifty seven. The Voice of I An Eagle on Westwood One.

792
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: The AFC Championship game, as the previous four meetings between

793
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and Bengals, decided by a mere three points.

794
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: Harrison Butker Newly in a forty five yard field goal

795
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: with three seconds left, and the Chiefs are back in

796
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, looking for their second championship in four years,

797
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: their third appearance in four years, and perhaps fitting Paul

798
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: because it was Week one at State Farm Stadium, the

799
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: Chiefs beat the Cardinals and now they'll end their twenty

800
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: twenty two season at State Farm Stadium in the Super Bowl.

801
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: Anybody who was at that game or watched that game

802
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: Week one, where Kansas City came out and they were

803
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: most definitely regular season ready and the Cardinals were not.

804
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: They came out and they scored touchdowns in their opening

805
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: three possessions of the season. Dare I say, nobody who

806
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: saw that. I mean we're talking like a quarter and

807
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: a half into this season is surprised at Kansas City

808
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: is now coming back to State Farm Stadium for Super

809
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty seven. That's how good they looked. Patrick Mahomes

810
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: five touchdown passes in that week one game, now only

811
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: I had two and beating the Bengals and playing on

812
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,919
Speaker 1: a high ankle sprain drew And you are perfectly the

813
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: right person to ask this because what we saw and

814
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 1: then that's you know, a four to six week injury.

815
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: Now Buddha Baker came back play safety, but still you

816
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,240
Speaker 1: need that mobility. What did you see out of Mahomes

817
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: and what he was able to do and especially that

818
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: third and four picking it up and then you tack

819
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: on the fifteen yard unnecessary reference penalty. Yeah, I mean

820
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: you just look at the competitor, right, and to your

821
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: point high ankle sprains. The only thing they couldn't do

822
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: to heal is time. He didn't have time on his side.

823
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: Boodha didn't have time on his side. But these superhuman

824
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 1: guys that can take that competitive nature to aid another

825
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: level and will themselves and then in the process will

826
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: their teammates to victory is where they separate them from

827
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: even these professional athletes. So you look at that and

828
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: you see, Okay, you knew eventually he was going to

829
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 1: have to test that thing and put it to an

830
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: extreme amount of stress to be able to play the

831
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: way that we're all capable of seeing Patrick Mahomes play too.

832
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: And you saw him roll left one time and he

833
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: had to try and make this throw those a pivotal

834
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 1: I think it was a third down and he tried

835
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: to stick his foot in the ground and absolutely rip

836
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: it off that foot and he came up limping, and

837
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: I was like, did he get hit? They showed the

838
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: replay didn't get hit. But he had to go all

839
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: out in that moment, and that took an effect on

840
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: him for the rest of the game. So then you're

841
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: taking calculator risks throughout the rest of the game and say, Okay,

842
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: I can't really push off of this because when the

843
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,919
Speaker 1: injuries fresh right and you have something throughout the course

844
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: of the game, the adrenaline will get you through the

845
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: rest of that game. The next morning you wick up

846
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: and you're like, I can't barely move this thing. So

847
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 1: he gave a lot of love to the training staff.

848
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 1: You work on that all of this to try and

849
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: get the swelling out of there, keep it mobile, keep

850
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: it moving around, and you get in the game. You know,

851
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: you do whatever you need to do to get ready

852
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: to play. I don't know what he did. I know

853
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: what I would do. And so you look at that

854
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,879
Speaker 1: and you say you're going to be tested. And then

855
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: on that third down one, it's absolutely crucial to get

856
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: whatever you can get to try and get into field

857
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 1: goal range, and you got to press the envelope. It

858
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: just shows what he was willing to do for the

859
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 1: people around him. And much like PAULI was talking about before,

860
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: when you can run the ball, the effect that has

861
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,720
Speaker 1: on that sideline when you see Patrick Mahomes take off

862
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: and try and put his nose down, and he did

863
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: it to play like maybe earlier in the drive and

864
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: didn't get much out of it, and I was like, no,

865
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: he's He's in a different frame of mind at this point,

866
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: knowing right your top wide receivers are out, you lost

867
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: your corner, you know your star tight end is having backspasms.

868
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 1: All of these things. Can you push through can you

869
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,280
Speaker 1: find a way to get it done when it matters

870
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: most because you know, like the week before, we heard,

871
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: you know, Sirianni talk about Michael Jordan and Jalen Hurts

872
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: and I'm like, hooha. This was that type of performance

873
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:19,919
Speaker 1: where you find something in yourself that most people would

874
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: sit there and say, I'm not gonna go there. But

875
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 1: you pair that with the ability that Patrick mahon has,

876
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes can go out there and do this

877
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: I mean unanimous MVP for what he's done, for what

878
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: he means to his team and being out there. Chad

879
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:36,879
Speaker 1: Henny did a tremendous job of going on a ninety

880
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: eight yard drive, but Patrick Mahomes had to be Patrick

881
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: Mahomes when it mattered most, and he was. Can you

882
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: imagine how sore he must have been Monday morning when

883
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: the adrenaline and whatever else wore off Monday morning. Just

884
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: how sore he must have been. Yeah, well it's easier

885
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: after a victory, right, he'd be eating more sore, you

886
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: know if he was on a flight to Cancun. And

887
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: that's my takeaway. Look, you played the position for a

888
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: really good living. But my takeaway watching those two championship

889
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: games were the two winning quarterbacks. Neither one was one

890
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: hundred percent. Jalen Hurts was dealing with his shoulder, and yeah,

891
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: I rolled my eyes with the Michael Jordan as well.

892
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: But Jalen Hurts, like Patrick Mahomes, like Joe Burrow is

893
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: the culture of those teams. Cincinnati hadn't won a playoff

894
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: game in thirty one years until Joe Burrow showed up

895
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: last year and took care of that and took him

896
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. To me, that's where the young

897
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: quarterbacks watching those two games, that's the takeaway. One, you're

898
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: not always going to be perfect and feeling one hundred percent.

899
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,439
Speaker 1: You still got to find a way because everyone else

900
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: is looking at you. And two, you are the heartbeat

901
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: or your team just based on the position you play.

902
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: Oh and Mahomes finding a way without three of his

903
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: better wide receivers. And yeah, you got Travis Kelsey, which

904
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 1: is always helpful. But you brought up Isaiah Pacheco in

905
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 1: our last segment. We can talk about him here now,

906
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: a seventh round pick coming up big when it matters most.

907
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 1: Not a huge name, but within that offense, he's perfect. Yeah,

908
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: and you look at the everybody. You saw the slow transition.

909
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 1: Everybody's like, well, why It isn't Clyde the play right now,

910
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: what's going on? And now you're seeing why his playtime diminished,

911
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: And you saw Isaiah Pacheco's increased even in the past game.

912
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you throw a check down to him and

913
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: he is getting yards. He is getting north and south.

914
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: He is trying to punish people with the ball in

915
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: his hands. And you look at these guys and the

916
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: playoffs is all about which quarterback is playing the best

917
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: football when it matters most, right, That's what it's going

918
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: to come down to. You think about years past, and

919
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's going to pay you to bring up

920
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, but he was playing extremely high level last year.

921
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: You think about Tom Brady the year before, playing at

922
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: a high level. All of these things matter at the

923
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: most most important position in football. Can they go out

924
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 1: there and get the job done throughout the course of

925
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: the playoffs and we're seeing these guys step up to

926
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: that challenge. Day three running backs, Yeah, I think at

927
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 1: the end of the season, the Cardinals road trip to Atlanta,

928
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: Tyler al Gear, the fifth round rookie at a BYU

929
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,680

Speaker 1: versus Chiefs, Kansas City. Just gotta score. Just just a

933
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 1: gut feeling, just a gut feeling. Yeah, it's gonna be

934
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,359

935
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 1: and beat you in a pass game if they you know,

936
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 1: if they're down, all right, he said it. Casey takes

937
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 1: the lead and Philly can't come back. Right. That's the

938
