You 28 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 5: get to see how they function in a certain type 29 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 5: of offense. And you know, for these coaches that are 30 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 5: coaching in this games, it's to me, you know, football 31 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 5: one of the underrated aspects is these personal relationships. Getting 32 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 5: to know some of these young men, what makes them tick, 33 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 5: how they prepare, what what motivates them. And I think, 34 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 5: you know, that's one of the things that being in 35 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 5: meeting rooms, being on the practice field in a close, 36 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 5: one on one type situation with these players gives you 37 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 5: such valuable insight. Particularly on your day two, day three 38 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 5: draft picks. You get an opportunity to really pick their brain, 39 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 5: see what makes them go, understand you know, how they're 40 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 5: going to function in your locker room and how well 41 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 5: they'll fit in. So I think it is a great opportunity. 42 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 5: But yeah, to your point, it's it's it's valuable experience 43 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 5: for these coaches as well being in a unique environment 44 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 5: trying to piece together talent from all over the country 45 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 5: and see how they operate. 46 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 4: Cardinals has six coaches, two at the East West Shrine Bowl, 47 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 4: four at the Senior Bowl, and Paul, we've had the 48 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 4: opportunity this past season on Fridays to speak to all 49 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 4: of these assistant coaches and you can kind. 50 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 6: Of tell some of these, I e. 51 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 4: Maybe a Drew Terrell, who's the OC at the East 52 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 4: West Shrine Bowl, Israel Wolfork, the quarterbacks coach at the 53 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 4: Senior Bowl, that you could see them rise in the 54 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 4: ranks and maybe that next step ben OC for a team, 55 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 4: dare I say a head coach down the road? 56 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 7: You know what they need to do though, right now, 57 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 7: right here front burner is try and pump up bow knicks. 58 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 7: That's what they need to do. Okay, The Cardinals need 59 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 7: bow knicks to climb all the way four like Anthony 60 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 7: Richardson did a year ago, because if quarterbacks are going one, two, three, 61 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 7: if they can get that fourth quarterback to come up 62 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 7: the board, so yes, it's gonna be very valuable maybe 63 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 7: in the coaching career. 64 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 6: But Drew Torell and is reel wolf fork. 65 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 7: But between now and Draft day, you need someone like 66 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 7: a Bononix to come up and then the Cardinals can 67 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 7: cast that income draft weekend. 68 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 6: Why not, Michael Pennix, Sure, you know, we don't don't care. 69 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 7: We don't discriminate between any quarterbacks who want to rise 70 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 7: up the board, make that ridiculous leap up, whether it's 71 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 7: a Trey Lance, whether it's a Zach Wilson, most recently 72 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 7: Anthony Richardson. Trey Lance goes number three out of nowhere 73 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 7: and Garner's three first round picks and return that would 74 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 7: be a best case scenario for the Cardinals. 75 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 4: The East West Shrine Bowl is Thursday, the Senior Bowl 76 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 4: is Saturday, so pay attention to the quarterback position, as 77 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 4: Paul likes to say, to get some interest with that 78 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 4: number four overall pick that the Cardinals own. But on 79 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 4: that East West Shrine Bowl, Drew Torell the oc his 80 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 4: first opportunity to let me call some plays and be 81 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 4: a part of some position groups that he typically has 82 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 4: not been a part of in the past. Here he 83 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 4: is on Tuesday talking about his coaching experience. 84 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 8: It's been good, you know, it's a great experience. Not 85 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 8: only you know, for for the players that are that 86 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 8: are chosen to be in his game, but for us 87 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 8: as coaches, I think it's a good chance for us 88 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 8: to kind of step out of our comfort zone and 89 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 8: do some things that we normally haven't done before. As 90 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 8: you know, you guys know, any time you're looking to 91 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 8: grow and elevate and whatever profession you're in, you've got 92 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 8: to you've got to do things that you wouldn't normally 93 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 8: do and kind of step out of that comfort zone. 94 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 8: So it's been awesome. 95 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 9: You know. 96 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 8: I'm fortunate to have been nominated for this and had 97 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 8: this experience I think is great. 98 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,799 Speaker 4: Sorell went on to say Kyle that he's found himself 99 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 4: in the O line room working with quarterbacks and he, 100 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 4: as his own word, said, he's been more of a 101 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 4: perimeter guy. 102 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 10: I e. 103 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 4: Wide receiver and you've got that defensive background, but you've 104 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 4: got experience now on special teams and it is out 105 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 4: of here comfort zone learning a different position group. 106 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's so big in the growth and development of coaching, 107 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 5: and I love that's how coach Terrell is viewing this 108 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 5: as an experience for himself, not just to evaluate players 109 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 5: and not just focusing on the team for next year, 110 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 5: but for his own personal growth to understand all aspects 111 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 5: of the offensive side of the ball, to be able 112 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 5: to work with every single position group. You know, I've 113 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 5: I've talked to some of my coaches postseason, and you know, coaches, 114 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 5: a large number of coaches around the league turned down 115 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 5: this opportunity. Their season is over, they need a break, 116 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 5: they want to start breaking down film, they want to 117 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 5: start figuring out what to do for next season, and they, 118 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 5: to a large degree, see this opportunity as a waste 119 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 5: of time. But for this coaching staff, for this number 120 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,559 Speaker 5: of coaches to be involved in these All Star games, 121 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 5: to see it as an opportunity not just to possibly 122 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 5: get some valuable insight to some of these players, but 123 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 5: also as an opportunity to grow and learn and develop, 124 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 5: you know, some of the weaknesses of their own coaching game. 125 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 5: I just love that type of attitude. 126 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 4: How about that is you're working with different coaches around 127 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 4: the league, you pick their brain, maybe within your own division, 128 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 4: within your own conference, the other conference, and all of 129 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 4: a sudden you get an idea. You bring it back 130 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 4: here to Tempe, go to Jonathan Gain and go, hey, 131 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 4: what about this? What do you think about that? 132 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 7: And you got to remember, like Drew Terrell spent all 133 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 7: those years with Jim Harbaugh, so he has that background. 134 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 7: And you just sort of continue to grow and add 135 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 7: to your skill set and your knowledge base. And dare 136 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 7: I say you even lean on some of your college 137 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 7: quarterbacks in the room. What did you guys run at Oregon? 138 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 7: Would you guys run at some of these other programs? 139 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 7: Coaches will tell you that a lot of what you 140 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 7: see in high school trickles up to the college game. 141 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 7: And then obviously, over the years of the college game 142 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 7: has infiltrated the NFL. And that's sort of where the 143 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 7: NFL really grows is from the ground up in these schemes. 144 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 7: So you get these college guys in there with the 145 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,119 Speaker 7: NFL coaches and all of a sudden, Okay, you're able 146 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 7: to sort of formulate some new looks. And and then 147 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 7: all of a sudden, he comes back and he sits 148 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 7: down with Drew Petzing and there's different things that maybe 149 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 7: you have in mind that you can incorporate into the 150 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 7: Cardinals offense this year. And I think that's really advantageous 151 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 7: all the way around, as you come back with some 152 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 7: new concepts and ideas. As a Cardinals coach, you can 153 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 7: then bring to some of the decision makers under Jonathan Gannon. 154 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 5: And to your point, Craig, I remember walking through the 155 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 5: lobby when I was in Mobile and I was playing 156 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 5: in the Senior Bowl, and it wasn't necessarily a lot 157 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 5: of players talking to coaches. There's over nine hundred NFL 158 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 5: personnel and Mobile Alabama this week watching practice. But it's networking. 159 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 5: It's talking to coaches around the league, forming relationships and 160 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 5: you know, possibly working toward your next promotion, talking to 161 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 5: a coach that might give you an opportunity down the road. 162 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 5: And there's also still a number of vacancies, not just 163 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 5: head coach, not just coordinator positions, but a lot of 164 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 5: vacancies throughout this league. And a lot of that interview 165 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 5: process is happening in Mobile, Alabama this week. 166 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 4: The goal of all coaches, it should be, the goal 167 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 4: is to be a head coach. There's only thirty two 168 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 4: of these in the NFL. The Cardinals have their guy 169 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,559 Speaker 4: on Jonathan Gannon. His first season. Know the one loss 170 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 4: record was not great, but the foundation has been built. 171 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 4: Something that was discussed late last week on The Big 172 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 4: Red Rage. Carrie Rhads, former Arizona Cardinals player and dare 173 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 4: I Say a former teammates of Gannon at Louisville. What 174 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 4: Carrie Roads saw from Afar in year one of Gannon. 175 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 3: You come into a situation where you want to do 176 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 3: something a certain way and you don't have all those 177 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 3: guys that fit in to make that thing happen. How 178 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 3: flexible are you going to be and how much of 179 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 3: a person you can be as far as being able 180 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 3: to mold and change your scheme and your thought process 181 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 3: to the team that you currently have. And I think 182 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 3: that was the special thing that he did this year 183 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 3: in year one, because yes, culture is important, but everybody's 184 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 3: not going to buy into your culture. You have to 185 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 3: prove that over and over and you have to prove 186 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 3: to men that you're able to be fled with them 187 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 3: as well. And so there's a fine line there, but 188 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 3: the good ones are able to do it really well. 189 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 4: The one thing we did hear from Gannon Paul, and 190 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 4: this goes for every other coach, the door is always 191 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 4: open for a player to walk upstairs have a question. 192 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 4: And what we've heard from players these days or this generation, 193 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 4: they want to know why they don't want to be 194 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 4: told what to do. They want to be explained what 195 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 4: to do and figure out what their purpose is within 196 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 4: the role that they're being asked to perform. 197 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 7: And they want to be a ask for some advice 198 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 7: and some input and look, at least you're part of 199 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 7: the process, so to speak. Now, Gannon makes it very 200 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 7: clear that he's the ultimate decision maker. But you know, 201 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 7: Dave Canalis was just hired by the Panthers, and he 202 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 7: told a story about when he was a young guy 203 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 7: up in Seattle with Pete Carroll. Pete Carroll would tell 204 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 7: all the assistants, I don't care how it's done. I 205 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 7: don't care if you run it fifty times. I don't 206 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 7: care if you pass it fifty times. It's about points 207 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 7: on offense. Just get me points on that scoreboard. Pete 208 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 7: Carroll with his defensive background, but tell his offensive guys 209 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 7: he'd empower them. And so Jonathan Gann I think did 210 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 7: a lot of that with Drew Petsy. I'm not necessarily 211 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 7: here to be look over your shoulder on game day 212 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 7: and give you input in terms of play calls. You know, 213 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 7: we're gonna go out there, We're going to be what 214 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 7: we need to be to beat the opponent that week, 215 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 7: and that's really the state of the NFL right now. 216 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 7: And I think that's what Carrie Rhodes was getting at. 217 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 7: We talked to Carrie last offseason as a former teammate 218 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 7: of Jonathan Gannon, right after he was hired by the Cardinals, 219 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 7: and that was the vibe you get that he's going 220 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 7: to empower all the assistants. He's going to have ultimate say. 221 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 7: But now at this point, after going through an entire 222 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 7: year and knowing your roster and what you have and 223 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 7: what you need and where your strengths exist. You know, 224 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 7: you talk about that ability to take a leap in 225 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 7: the second year of a program. At least now you 226 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 7: have the knowledge when you go out there and you 227 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 7: formulate your roster here in year two of the Jonathan 228 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 7: Gann and mantiasin fort Era, and a lot of it's 229 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 7: based on what you can only find out during the 230 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 7: course of a regular season. You don't know what you 231 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 7: have until games are played and you get real reps. 232 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 4: Depending on what your roster is at that particular moment, 233 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 4: maybe you don't quite have everyone that you want in 234 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 4: the building, or there's an injury or two, and all 235 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 4: of a sudden. Okay, what's it going to take for 236 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 4: us to get the win this week, whether that's on 237 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 4: offense or defense. One more from Kerry Rhodes on that 238 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 4: subject of being adaptable. When looking at the offense under 239 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 4: Kyler Murray. 240 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 3: Their strength last year was learning the ball and it's 241 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 3: made life easier for Kyler to kind of ease back 242 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 3: into it and then wants to ease back into football 243 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 3: and getting into football shape and being defenses and schemes again. 244 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 3: Then you can unleash the Kyler that we know. But 245 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 3: I think it's that ability again to mold to what 246 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 3: your team is, to invest and I think we saw 247 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 3: that at with the Cardinals, and I think with Kyler 248 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 3: him being healthy and being able to show what he 249 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 3: can do again down and stretch, there was vital because 250 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 3: jayg knows. I saw a press conference where he said 251 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 3: Kyler is our quarterback and just that reassurance for Kyler 252 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 3: and the team and the other players A rounds it 253 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 3: just makes life easier for them. 254 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 4: A small sample size, just eight games for Kyler, But 255 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 4: I don't think within this offense, Kyle he's going to 256 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 4: be asked to do it all. 257 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 6: He doesn't have to do it all. 258 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 4: He's got ten other guys on the field, He's got 259 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 4: players that want to be on the field that can 260 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 4: help him. Yeah, the quarterback his success. Yeah is you're 261 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 4: going to win or lose based off your quarterback play. 262 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 4: But you don't have to have the quarterback be the 263 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 4: hero each and every week. 264 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,599 Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think Kyler got a good feel for that, 265 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 5: particularly late in the season when this team ran for 266 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 5: two hundred plus three of the last four games. I 267 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 5: think the game becomes much easier for a quarterback. Here, 268 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 5: looks become easier, your reads become easier, you get the 269 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 5: defense a little bit on their heels when you can 270 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 5: lean on that run game. And you know, with throughout 271 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 5: these playoffs, I keep looking for examples of how this 272 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 5: affects the Cardinals. What what can this mean for the Cardinals? 273 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 5: And you look at this, you know this current you 274 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 5: know version of a dynasty in the Kansas City Chiefs. Well, 275 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 5: it's not all Patrick Mahomes. I mean that first drive 276 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 5: on Sunday, the offensive great Patrick Mahomes was dealing and 277 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 5: he was working the ball down the field, and the 278 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 5: rest of the game he leaned on their defense. This 279 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 5: Kansas City Chiefs team is way different than it was 280 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 5: in the past, that possibly the strength of this team 281 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 5: is their defense and it's not the offense. And for 282 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 5: a quarterback like Patrick Mahomes, who's being considered in the 283 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 5: greatest of all time type conversations, to know and understand 284 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 5: what his team looks like, what this team's strengths are, 285 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,959 Speaker 5: and that it doesn't always have to be all him. 286 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 5: He doesn't have to force throws. He can they can 287 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 5: punk the ball away and lean on the strength of 288 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 5: their defense. And that's a great message for this Cardinals team. 289 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 5: I mean, and again, the adaptability. You've got one of 290 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 5: the greatest coaches of all time and one of the 291 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 5: greatest quarterbacks of all time who are playing in the 292 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 5: Super Bowl. But this team looks completely different than it 293 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 5: has looked in the past, and they are adaptable a 294 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 5: lot like this Cardinals team is. 295 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 7: You talk about takeaways from those championship games, the NFC Championship, 296 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 7: that first half, I think we're all watching that going wow, 297 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 7: look at the Lions offensive line dominating that Niners defensive front. 298 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 7: The strength of that team. If you want to dethrone 299 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 7: the forty nine ers in the NFC West, that's how 300 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 7: you do it, you build the offensive line. That's why 301 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 7: you went on and got Paris Johnson, Junior. That's why 302 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 7: I'm convinced they're going on line again in the first 303 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 7: round with one of those two picks. 304 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 4: Great segue here, Paul, because as we continue here on 305 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 4: this Tuesday edition, the final Tuesday in the month of January, 306 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 4: it is the Cardinals Red Sea Report, presented by Sea 307 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 4: your ticket to great seats. We'll talk about the offensive line, 308 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 4: where improvement needs to be made, where some holes need 309 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 4: to be filled. I do think they're pretty much set, 310 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 4: perhaps on the right side, unless there's a change at 311 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 4: the tackle position. 312 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 6: We'll get to that next here. 313 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 4: Craig Rayelupaul CALVC and covi In andbash here on the 314 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 4: Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. 315 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: With the sixth pick in the twenty twenty three. 316 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:58,239 Speaker 7: NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals select Paris Johnson, junior, Ohio State. 317 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 10: Hi High football character, highly intelligent, well spoken, mature, dependable, 318 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 10: and you can tell that he's made of the right things, 319 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 10: the things that we want not only our offensive lineman 320 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 10: to be made of, but but our entire team. 321 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 4: Seventeen starts did not miss an offensive snap. Also played 322 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 4: special teams as well. Paris Johnson Junior, the Cardinals first 323 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 4: round draft pick, the first draft pick in Manti Austin 324 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 4: Ford's era as general manager. As you heard him talk 325 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 4: about his right tackle maybe now future left tackle. Well 326 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 4: we'll get into that as we say welcome back. It 327 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 4: is the Cardinals Red Seat Report, presented by Seek Your Ticket, 328 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 4: the Great Seats Creig Reya, Lupaul Calvic and Kyle Vandenbosch 329 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 4: examining first and foremost Kyle and that is Paris Johnson 330 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 4: Junior as just a tackle in this league. And I 331 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 4: know Paul has the lists. I'll let him rattle it 332 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 4: off a little bit later on, but just the experience 333 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 4: Paris Scott on that side as a tackle going up 334 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 4: against the NFC West, NFC AFC and the defenders that 335 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 4: he faced in year one, and I think held his 336 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 4: own at least accorded to the eye test. 337 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 5: Absolutely absolutely, he was dependable. He went out there and performed. 338 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 5: He's the type of player that looks forward to the 339 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 5: tough matchups and he went out there and you know, 340 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 5: some games really excelled. And you know, again the biggest 341 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 5: credit to in offensive tackle is when you don't talk 342 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 5: about him throughout the course of a ball game. And 343 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 5: I can't remember many times where you know you hear 344 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 5: on the radio broadcast or that you watch the TV 345 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 5: copy when they say, well, Paris really struggled here. Paris 346 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 5: got beat here because it didn't happen often, and if 347 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 5: it did, it was, you know, a one offer maybe 348 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 5: a couple times a game. You know, we knew coming 349 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 5: out the physical tools he had, the long arms, the 350 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 5: athletic ability, the balance. To me, I was mostly impressed 351 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 5: with how he held up in this run game. I 352 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 5: think he's he's more physical than people give him credit for. 353 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 5: He's able to engulf defense edge rushers at times in 354 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 5: the run game. So you know it's and again, you 355 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 5: know you hear that description from Montyasen for it and 356 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 5: he just talks about dependable and you just mentioned it. 357 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 5: For a rookie to come in and play every single snaps, 358 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 5: it's impressive for any player, any offensive lineman, to play 359 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 5: every single snap. But it shows you that there's hidden 360 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 5: value there because we all look back to the twenty 361 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 5: twenty two season when our offensive line looked different every 362 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 5: week and we couldn't keep offensive linemen healthy, and there 363 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 5: was just so many missed games, so many misstarts by 364 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 5: this offensive line. It was so difficult to have continuity 365 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 5: and to build your offense from one week to the next. 366 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 5: It was kind of a mash unit and you're just 367 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 5: plugging guys in off the street and putting them in 368 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 5: the lineup. And we didn't have to do that this 369 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 5: year to a large degree because you've got a rookie 370 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 5: that went out there and was dependable and played every 371 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 5: single snap. 372 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 7: And he didn't hit the rookie wall either. He was 373 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 7: adamant about that in December January, rookie wall. I ain't 374 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 7: hit no stinking ricky rookie wall around here. So I 375 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 7: mean think about that. Think about Okay, now he has 376 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 7: an offseason to really, you know, get in shape and everything, 377 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 7: and you know where does he need to work and 378 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 7: just the mentality. I saw everything I needed to see. 379 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 7: Late in that Steelers game, Cardinals went into Pittsburgh and 380 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 7: got the win, and he went against TJ. Watt almost 381 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 7: the entirety of that game. And by the end of 382 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 7: the game, TJ. Watt was really frustrated and fact almost 383 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 7: came to blows. You saw that little tussle they had 384 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 7: there at the very end of the game rooting in 385 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 7: it too, and walpin in Estallbyn that's because Paris Johnson 386 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 7: Junior tried to take TJ. Watt out of bounds, try 387 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 7: to finish him out of bounds. Gizu Whit's like, no, 388 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 7: that ain't happening, and went to the ground and then 389 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 7: came up swinging. So that's the sort of mentality. And 390 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 7: then to hear Paris Johnson Junior say at the end 391 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 7: of the season that he was having Cardinals defensive players 392 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 7: emulate the pass rusher he was going against that week. Okay, 393 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 7: look the guy I'm going against this week excels with 394 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 7: this move. I want you to emulate that for me 395 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 7: all week in practice. And so we just sort of 396 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 7: had a next level sort of preparation and mentality and 397 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 7: approach to the game that I think bodes really well. 398 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 7: And now, whether he's going to move to left tackle, 399 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 7: But to hear him say, and I asked him this 400 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 7: towards the end of the season, if you had to 401 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 7: play left tackle, what sort of challenge would that be 402 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 7: at this point in the season, play the whole year 403 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 7: at right Tacker said, give me one practice, That's all 404 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 7: I need. 405 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 6: One practice. I'll get the footwork down. By the way it. 406 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 4: Teased, did you want to give the list of edge 407 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 4: rushers defenders that Paris Johnson Junior faced here in year 408 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 4: one because it does read as a who's who and 409 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 4: dare I say a Hall of fame future hall of 410 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 4: Fame list? 411 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 7: Well, if you're asking Craig, here we go Aaron Donald twice, 412 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 7: Nick Bosa twice, Montes Sweat twice, two different teams. TJ Watt, 413 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 7: who led the NFL with nineteen sacks. Remember he went 414 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 7: against Trey Hendrickson, who was number two in sacks, was 415 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 7: seventeen and a half in that Bengals game. Micah Parsons, 416 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 7: Miles Garrett who had fourteen apiece the Ravens, Justin Madubuike 417 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 7: who had thirteen, Jonathan Greener to Houston twelve and a half, 418 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 7: Cavon Thibodeau of the Giants eleven and a half, Hassan 419 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 7: Reddick eleven. 420 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 6: And a half. I needn't have him. 421 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 7: Even had room on Twitter for Will Anderson Junior in 422 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 7: a couple other notables as well. 423 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 4: Very impressive. Now, the question is going into next season, 424 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 4: does Paris Day on the right side or does he 425 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 4: move to the left side. I think this was gonna 426 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 4: be a conversation that we had regardless of the injury 427 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 4: to DJ Humphreyes, but now not knowing the future of 428 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 4: Humphreys as far as coming off an ACL injury, and 429 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 4: I don't believe he's had that surgery as we speak 430 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 4: here on this Tuesday, But the question was asked to 431 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 4: Paris the day after the season. Left tackle or right tackle. 432 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 11: I just want to be a part of the past 433 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 11: five and where I'm at on the line is dependent 434 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 11: on them. But definitely this offseason I'm going to continue 435 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:44,199 Speaker 11: to train both sides just to be ready, you know, 436 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 11: so what my numbers called, if it's called to go 437 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 11: to left, I can be able to step right in. 438 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 11: So I'm definitely gonna take this off season and work 439 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 11: on both sides. 440 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 4: Does it matter, Kyle, Like, you've played defense, and you've 441 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 4: played the game, and we always here all you got 442 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 4: to protect the quarterbacks blind side. Left tackle is more 443 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 4: important for a right handed quarterback. But given the names 444 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 4: that Paul just mentioned, so they're rotating on either side, 445 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 4: left or right defenders are coming at you. So you 446 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 4: need a good left tackle and you need a good 447 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 4: right tackle. 448 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not sure that it does. It's not again. 449 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 5: I feel like when I played, it was different. It 450 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 5: was always the you know, left tackle against the right end, 451 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 5: and that's where he puts your best pass rusher, That's 452 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 5: where he put your best pass protector. And it was 453 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 5: always a match up there. And it's not like that anymore. 454 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,959 Speaker 5: They when a defensive coordinator has an elite pass rusher, 455 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 5: he will move him all over the line to take 456 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 5: advantage of matchups. He will move him inside to Russia guard. 457 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 5: They'll move from the left side to the right side. 458 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 5: But I do love I love again, you know, the 459 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 5: character of Paris Johnson Junior, you know, And I remember 460 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 5: even prior to the season when we weren't sure where 461 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 5: he was gonna fit because he had experience at guard, 462 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 5: he had experienced at both tackle spots, and he even 463 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 5: said that, you know, if they want me to play center, 464 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 5: I'll try it. You love that as a player to 465 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 5: you know. And this is again the culture that starts 466 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 5: at the top trickles down to the bottom of willingness, 467 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,479 Speaker 5: even though it may affect your performance, even though it 468 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 5: may affect your future bank account. By moving to a 469 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 5: position that isn't necessarily a premier position, but it will 470 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 5: help this team win ball games. Players are willing to 471 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 5: do that, and you love to hear those types of things. 472 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,719 Speaker 7: I think it also depends where you go in the draft, 473 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 7: if you go in the draft for a tackle. Now, 474 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 7: what's interesting is earlier today Daniel Jeremiah put out his 475 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 7: top fifty prospects, just his top fifty rated players. There 476 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 7: are seven offensive tackles in his top eighteen. This is 477 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 7: a loaded draft at tackle. So if you get the 478 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 7: top rated tackle, let's just say Joe Walt, who just 479 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 7: spent three years starting to left tackle for Notre Dame 480 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 7: six 't eight three point fifteen. His dad was a 481 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 7: Pro Bowl tackle for the Chiefs back in the day. 482 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 7: So let's just say Joe Walt has his name called 483 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 7: by the Cardinals. Well, maybe you leave him at left 484 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 7: tackle and Paris Johnson stays the right to and you 485 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 7: got your tackle combination for the next umpteen years. And 486 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 7: those are the first two guys off the bus. Six 487 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 7: foot eight Welt six foot seven, Paris Johnson Junior bought. 488 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 7: If you get a tackle, maybe with your second first 489 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 7: round pick, and it's the u of a kid who's 490 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 7: more of a right tackle, or the Oregon State kid 491 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 7: who's a right tackle. Then all of a sudden, Paris 492 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 7: Johnson Junior goes the left tackle. So I think it's 493 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 7: to be determined in a lot of ways. 494 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 4: Line of scrimmage certainly important, specifically the offensive line. Jonathan Gannon, 495 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 4: we'll go back one year ago. This is after all 496 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 4: the college All star games, but ahead of the draft, 497 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 4: following the combine. Here is what Gannon was talking about 498 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 4: when he was looking what he wants in an offensive lineman. 499 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 9: We have a skill set that we're looking for from 500 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 9: all you know, the inside guys and the outside guys. 501 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 9: And I know this. We want high football character, guys 502 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 9: that love to play football and they and they're gonna 503 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 9: be tough guys. And we want guys that finish people, 504 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 9: move people. And probably the number one, as I've learned 505 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 9: better keep that quarterback up right. 506 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 4: Finish people, move people. I look at Will Hernandez, who 507 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 4: does exactly that. Yelled a Froholdt, who I think was 508 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 4: a pleasant surprise at the center position, who is under 509 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 4: contract for next season, had four starts at center coming 510 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 4: into this year, and like Paris Johnson Junior, started all 511 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 4: seventeen games. Question is now you gotta ramp up that depth, Kyle, 512 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 4: figure out what you have at tackle, what you have 513 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 4: inside the left guard position was kind of a revolving door. 514 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 4: You do have Calvin beacham on under contract next season, 515 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 4: and again the question mark with DJ Humphries would not 516 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 4: surprise me if the Cardinals looked offensive line, whether with 517 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 4: that fourth overall pick or number twenty seven. 518 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 5: Yeah, I just love the philosophy of Jonathan Gannon in 519 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 5: this front office. I'm a strong believer you build a 520 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 5: team from the inside out. You've got to be good 521 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 5: in the trenches on both sides of the ball. You 522 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 5: can make up for deficiencies in other areas with a 523 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 5: really good physical offensive line defensive line. You know, one 524 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 5: characteristic that this offensive line had that wasn't mentioned right there, 525 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 5: and I've talked about this before, is you know, late 526 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 5: in the season when this run game was really going, 527 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 5: the ability to run multiple schemes, whether it be zone schemes, 528 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 5: that gap scheme. But you know Will Hernandez, we all 529 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 5: know how physical he is, yell the fro hold. As 530 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 5: Polly said, we all know how physical he is. We 531 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 5: could see him putting players on their back, finishing them, 532 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 5: you know, doing exactly what Jonathan gan An ass but 533 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 5: their ability to pull this offense every single you know, 534 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 5: I think in our last four or five games, every 535 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 5: single lineman pulled across the center at some point even 536 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 5: yelled the frohold. Was able to snap the ball and 537 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 5: pull and lead out in space several times throughout the 538 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 5: course of a ball game. And that's not just toughness, 539 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 5: that's not just doing things with live scrimers. That's incredible 540 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 5: athleticism for guys who were you know, three hundred three 541 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 5: twenty plus to get in the open field and block 542 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 5: a you know, overhang linebacker or block a corner that's 543 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 5: trying to fill or a safety that's coming up into 544 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 5: the box. You know, these offensive linemen are asked to 545 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 5: do a lot. It wasn't one run scheme. It wasn't 546 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 5: just passed pro. It was you know, to you know, 547 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 5: move guys on double teams and be able to pull 548 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 5: and block real ath fleets, the world's most elite athletes 549 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,439 Speaker 5: in open space. And for some of these guys to 550 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 5: do that multiple times out the course of a ballgame 551 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 5: is extremely impressive. 552 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 4: Cardinals rushed for two thousand, three hundred and sixty five yards, 553 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 4: fourth most in the league. But Paul, you look at 554 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 4: the franchise records as far as rushing yards in a season, 555 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 4: fourthmost in franchise history. But you have to go back 556 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 4: to the seventies the sixties to find a Cardinals team 557 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 4: that ran for twenty three hundred plus yards in a season. 558 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:32,479 Speaker 7: And then look at what they did at the end 559 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 7: of the season, right, two hundred and twenty one rushing 560 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 7: yards at Philadelphia, two hundred and six rushing yards against 561 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 7: Seattle with Kyler Murray. The Cardinals led the NFL with 562 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 7: five point twenty seven yards per carry and there were 563 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 7: number two in rushing yards per game with Kyler Murray. 564 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 7: So when a defense has to account for an athletic quarterback, 565 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 7: it opens up other opportunities. That's how you end up 566 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 7: number one in the NFL in twenty plus yard run 567 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 7: the explosive runs. So once again, if you're going against 568 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 7: a forty nine Ers team, you're going against a Rams team. 569 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 7: And this to me is job number one in the 570 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 7: offseason effective next season. You gotta be more competitive against 571 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 7: those two dominant teams in your division. At least they're 572 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 7: dominant in those head to head matchups, and this is 573 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:18,959 Speaker 7: the way you go about it. To me, You go 574 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 7: right at them and you dominate the ball and you 575 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 7: keep it away from Brock Purty and all those weapons. 576 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 7: You keep it away from Matthew Stafford and that Sean 577 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 7: McVay offense. And that's I think where this Cardinals offense 578 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 7: is going to continue to evolve, and they're going to 579 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 7: invest in this offensive line. 580 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 6: To that point. 581 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 4: Sometimes your best defense, depending on the matchup that particular week, 582 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 4: is your offense because you sustain drives. I'm in possession 583 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 4: and you keep a Matthew Stafford on the sideline of 584 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,640 Speaker 4: Ginos Smith on the sideline where they can't do anything 585 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 4: because they're watching the Cardinals move the ball. 586 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 6: Up and down the field. 587 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 4: Join the Arizona Cardinals season ticket priority list today twenty 588 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 4: twenty four.

As we continue here 592 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 4: on the Cardinals Red Seaver Report presented by Seek Your Ticket, 593 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 4: The Great Seats the second half, we'll focus on Championship Sunday, 594 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 4: our thoughts on the NFC and AFC title games and 595 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,239 Speaker 4: Super Bowl fifty eight in under two weeks. This is 596 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 4: the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. 597 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 12: Curti is under center. He takes the snappy backpedals a step. 598 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 12: Zero's on the clockets over the sidelines, empty, but the 599 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 12: comeback for the Ages. The forty nine Ers are going 600 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 12: back to the Super Bowl and ripping the heart out 601 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 12: of the Lions. San Francisco over comes seventeen point half 602 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 12: time deficit to Peak de Troit thirty four thirty one, 603 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 12: and for the eighth time, but forty nine Ers will 604 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 12: play further than Swimbardi. 605 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 4: Trophy, tied for the third largest comeback in a conference 606 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 4: championship game. It was twenty four to seven at halftime. 607 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 4: Then the forty nine Ers outscore the Lions seventeen to 608 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 4: nothing in the third quarter alone win the game thirty 609 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 4: four to thirty one. And I'm not gonna lie Kyle. Yes, 610 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 4: I was on the Lions bandwagon. I'm tired of the 611 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 4: forty nine ers. They're in the NFC West. I don't 612 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 4: like to see our division rivals do well and the 613 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 4: forty nine ers once again, as you heard Kevin Harlan 614 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 4: on Westwood One, an eighth NFC championship and another opportunity 615 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 4: at a Super Bowl. 616 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I like most people thought, with the 617 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 5: lines up seventeen and a half, I thought I thought 618 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 5: the game was in the bag. I thought they you know, 619 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 5: they were moving the ball with ease on offense. Again 620 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 5: to our I think it was Paul and both your 621 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 5: earlier point, like the Lion's ability to run the ball 622 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,719 Speaker 5: against that San fran defense, particularly in the first half 623 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 5: with the Lions offensive line, and really looking back at 624 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 5: the Cardinals were the first team to show that they 625 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 5: could run the ball against that defense, to move the 626 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 5: ball at will on the ground, And you know, I 627 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 5: was just so shocked, and it was almost like once 628 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 5: that snowball got rolling down the hill, it became difficult 629 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,239 Speaker 5: for the Lions to stop. And I know, just you know, 630 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 5: on the outside, there's a lot of criticism of Dan Campbell, 631 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 5: his aggressiveness in him going forward on fourth down instead 632 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 5: of kicking field goals that would have been crucial points 633 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 5: at the time and in very makeable field goal type situations. 634 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 5: But you know, you look from the outside end and 635 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,719 Speaker 5: going into this game, what's the strength of the Lions. 636 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,959 Speaker 5: It's their offense, it's their offensive line in particular, and 637 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 5: the weakness of the Detroit Lions was their past defense. 638 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 5: So you got to think that Dan Campbell was being 639 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 5: ultra aggressive, which he had been all season, but knowing 640 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 5: that the Niners had the ability to strike a com 641 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 5: back with all of their weapons that they have, and 642 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 5: how poorly the Lions defense had played against the pass 643 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 5: all season. So I don't fault in for those decisions. 644 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 5: It's just unfortunate for the Lions that it didn't work 645 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 5: out for them. And you know it's in retrospect, you know, 646 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 5: it's tough to justify them. 647 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 4: Execute the play, don't drop the pass, don't fumble the ball. 648 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 4: I mean, at some point the players have to take 649 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 4: responsibility and protect the head coach. I mean, I think 650 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 4: it's it's you're you're overlooking what the forty nine ers 651 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 4: were able to do, but you're coming down to two 652 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 4: fourth and short decisions in the second half, and maybe 653 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 4: it's just who did Dan Campbell have more confidence in 654 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 4: at that moment, his quarterback or his kicker. 655 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 7: So there was a story in the Wall Street Journal 656 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 7: and they went to the two analytic models that are 657 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 7: most popular, and so on that initial fourth and two 658 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 7: from the Niners twenty eight the Josh Reynolds drop, the 659 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 7: win probability if you convert that is eighty five percent 660 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 7: at that point, because I remember you had a big 661 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 7: lead at that stage. The win probability if you kick 662 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 7: the field goal is eighty two percent. See, to me, 663 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 7: I figured there'll be a much bigger spread in the 664 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 7: win probability from converting to kicking. And then when you 665 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 7: go to the second one, when they were down three 666 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 7: fourth and three from the Niners thirty, the win probability 667 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 7: of converting in that point is only twenty eight percent. 668 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 7: The win probability of kicking it twenty six percent. So 669 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 7: to me, the risk reward in an NFC Championship game 670 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 7: of the ability to tie the game with a field 671 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 7: goal at the very end. Not to mention, if you 672 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 7: turn it over on downs, it's a huge momentum swing 673 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,479 Speaker 7: that analytics never accounts for. You're turning over the ball. 674 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 7: So there was a reason why the three words that 675 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 7: were trending on Twitter, they'll all Sunday evening take the points. 676 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 7: That's why, because of everything involved. So look, I'm all 677 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 7: about being aggressive. I realize analytics are here to stay, 678 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 7: But in that situation, with what was on the line 679 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 7: and what was at stake, and once again, the win 680 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 7: probability difference to me, didn't mandate going forward. 681 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 4: Even a couple of days after that game, Dan Campbell quote, 682 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 4: I don't regret those decisions. I understand the scrutiny. That's 683 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 4: part of the gig. Just didn't work out. What did 684 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 4: work out was what the forty nine ers did in 685 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 4: that second half, flipping the script rock perty in the 686 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 4: second half alone thirteen of sixteen fo one hundred and 687 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 4: seventy four yards and a touchdown. Did Kyle what he 688 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 4: did late in the game against the Packers, He delivered 689 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 4: in a big moment in a big time game. And 690 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 4: here he is in year two going to his first 691 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 4: ever Super Bowl. 692 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think his biggest asset. You know, everybody wants 693 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 5: to pick apart his game. It's his decision making. He 694 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 5: makes quick decisions. Teams throughout the season tried to blitz him, 695 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 5: you know, still a young, inexperienced type quarterback. Every time 696 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 5: teams brought pressure, he knew exactly where to go with 697 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 5: the ball. 698 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 6: Got rid of it quickly. 699 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 5: To me, you know the difference in this game, and 700 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 5: you know, again this is a sign of, you know, 701 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 5: the value of Kyler Murray. It was his two scrambles 702 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 5: for twenty one yards in the second half that extended 703 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 5: drives that you know, it's he's you don't you know 704 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 5: pick him out of He's not even in the top 705 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 5: half of starting quarterbacks in this league with his running ability, 706 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 5: his mobility, But when the moment called for him to 707 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 5: do it, he knew exactly what to do. He recognized 708 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 5: this his man coverage, everybody on defense has their back 709 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 5: turn to me, I have an opportunity to pick up 710 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 5: some yardage and keep the clock moving, move the chains, 711 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 5: advance the ball down the field. You know, that's that's 712 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 5: to me where he's next level. It's his his intelligence, 713 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 5: his quick decision making, and his poise under pressure. And 714 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 5: you know, even even if they win the Super Bowl, 715 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 5: I'm sure you know, the media around the country is 716 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 5: going to find ways to pick apart his game. But 717 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 5: all he does is go out there and lead his 718 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,359 Speaker 5: team to victories. And and you know, again, like to 719 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 5: your point, his ability to continue to rally his team 720 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 5: when they're down in in crucial situations in the playoffs. 721 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,400 Speaker 5: It shows his value as a quarterback. 722 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 7: Remember the game winning drive against Green Bay. Niners have 723 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 7: been zero and thirty one when down five points entering 724 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 7: the fourth quarter. 725 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 6: So he navigated through that. 726 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 7: Obviously, had the huge second half after you're down seventeen. 727 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 7: But to Kyle's point, not only did he rally his team, 728 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 7: but you see a forty nine Ers team that's rallying 729 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 7: around him after the game. Christian McCaffrey saying, you know 730 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 7: what all he's done since he's been here is playing 731 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,879 Speaker 7: an elite level. Everything starts with him. We're lucky he's 732 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 7: our quarterback. He takes a lot of heat for absolutely 733 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 7: no reason. 734 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:25,280 Speaker 6: End quote. 735 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 7: Trent Williams has come to the defense of Brock party. 736 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 7: You've heard Deebo, Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk. So this team 737 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 7: rallies around him because so many people call him a 738 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 7: game manager, and they wonder is he just a byproduct 739 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 7: of ball those weapons and all those Pro bowlers on 740 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 7: the Niners offensive side of the ball. But Brock Purty 741 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 7: showed that he was the catalyst and I love the 742 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 7: way he went. Patrick Mahomes with those two runs in 743 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 7: crucial situations to keep the defense on. It's it's something 744 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 7: I thought Lamar Jackson should have done a lot more 745 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 7: of in the AFC Championship game. 746 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,240 Speaker 4: Party is a seventh round pick versus a first round pick. 747 00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 4: If he's a first round selection, we're not having this 748 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:03,800 Speaker 4: game discussion. And it's reminiscent of Tom Brady, a sixth 749 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 4: round pick those. 750 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 6: First three Super Bowls. 751 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 4: He had a great defense and he didn't have to 752 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 4: do a whole heck of a lot, and he matured. 753 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 4: And what do we talk about all a quarterback as 754 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,279 Speaker 4: judge by what's your one lost record? How many Super 755 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 4: Bowl appearances? How many Super Bowl wins do you have? 756 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 4: Hard to beat seven that Tom Brady has. And we'll 757 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 4: get into Patrick Mahomes here in our next segment. But 758 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 4: you don't need to do a whole heck of a lot. 759 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 7: My only question is if brock Perty wins the Super Bowl, 760 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 7: is he gonna get his own place? Because right now 761 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 7: he still has a roommate on a seventh rounders contract, 762 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 7: So with all the bonuses and everything else he's gonna 763 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 7: get from endorsements if he wins the super Bowl, even 764 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,280 Speaker 7: in the ultra expensive Bay Area, in the Silicon Valley. 765 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,479 Speaker 7: I think he'll be able to afford his own place. 766 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 4: Still can't extend him because you can't do that until 767 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 4: after year three, I believe, and you know we'll get 768 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 4: a two years in and who's to say year one 769 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,359 Speaker 4: if he didn't get hurt against the Eagles in that 770 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 4: title game, that the forty nine Ers wouldn't be playing 771 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 4: the Chiefs for a second straight year. 772 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,360 Speaker 7: So if the key play, by the way, was the 773 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 7: fifty one yarder to Brandon Ayuk that bounced off the 774 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,359 Speaker 7: Detroit DB's face mass and then Ayuk after the game 775 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 7: saying that a lady bug landed on my shoe. So 776 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 7: who would have thought that would have been the key 777 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 7: to the game. I don't know if that was a 778 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 7: prop bet in Vegas, but I guess it should have been. 779 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 4: We're looking for ladybugs in Las Vegas, looking for Taylor 780 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 4: Swifts in Las Vegas. Yeah, yeah, I had to go there. 781 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 4: We'll talk about the Chiefs heading once again as they 782 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 4: knocked off the Ravens and all of a sudden the 783 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 4: Kansas City Chiefs Road Warriors here in the AFC playoffs. 784 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,200 Speaker 4: We'll get into that next here on the Arizona Cardinoles 785 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:35,400 Speaker 4: right to do a network. 786 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 13: The homes takes a knee, and that is it. The 787 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,800 Speaker 13: Kansas City Chiefs are going back to the Super Bowl 788 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 13: for the fourth time of the last five years. Viva 789 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 13: lost Vegas for case, they've done it again. They win 790 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:09,759 Speaker 13: the AFC Championship seventeen to ten over the Ravens and 791 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:14,280 Speaker 13: end Baltimore season here at M ANDT Bank Stadium. 792 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 4: Final call of the AFC Championship game. Iron Eagle on 793 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:22,959 Speaker 4: Westwood One a surprise, Maybe we shouldn't be surprised, considering again, 794 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,959 Speaker 4: as Iron Eagle just mentioned, fourth trip to the Super 795 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 4: Bowl in five years, Chiefs three to zero in the postseason, 796 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 4: two wins on the road, and they go in to 797 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 4: the number one seed, the Baltimore Ravens, and they win. 798 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 4: And not only did they win, I mean I think 799 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 4: the score pol was a little bit closer than maybe 800 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 4: if you watched it, that was that was a one 801 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,400 Speaker 4: sided contest for much of that game until late in 802 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 4: the fourth quarter, because the Chiefs could do no wrong 803 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 4: offensively or defensively. 804 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 7: I mean, you had a Baltimore team that had three turnovers, 805 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 7: they had nine flags, five personal fouls. So the players 806 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 7: were aer prone. I thought the coaches were aer prone. 807 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 7: Todd Monkin, you had eight runs by Lamar Jackson, and 808 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 7: half of those were scrambles, and then you had eight 809 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,760 Speaker 7: runs beyond that. 810 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:10,840 Speaker 6: That's inexcusable. 811 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,719 Speaker 7: You're the number one rushing team. It was never more 812 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,840 Speaker 7: than a ten point game. I just didn't understand that. 813 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 6: Why. 814 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 7: It's almost like teams going to play Patrick Mahomes and 815 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 7: they're like, oh boy, it's Patrick Mahomes, it's Andy Reid. 816 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 7: We better just change things up. We got to be 817 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 7: extra extra, super extra, and then they get out of 818 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,080 Speaker 7: their identity. And it just seemed to me that that's 819 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 7: what happened to Baltimore. That and the fact that when 820 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 7: the Ravens get down, they're not equipped to come back. 821 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 7: The stat now is the Ravens are zero to twenty 822 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,760 Speaker 7: three win trailing by ten plus at halftime since twenty thirteen, 823 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,799 Speaker 7: and then obviously predates Lamar Jackson. They're just once they 824 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:51,320 Speaker 7: get down, lookout big stage. Maybe going back to the Lions. 825 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,800 Speaker 4: Their first opportunity in a title game, not the first 826 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,720 Speaker 4: opportunity for the Ravens, but it was for Lamar Jackson, 827 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 4: and sometimes to Paul's point, com maybe you you operate 828 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,920 Speaker 4: a little bit differently. You think it's just another game, 829 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,440 Speaker 4: but the stage is so much larger, so many more 830 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 4: people are watching, and for many you win that game, Yeah, 831 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:10,399 Speaker 4: your season is made. 832 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:11,800 Speaker 6: Yeah you get to go to the super Bowl. 833 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 4: But sometimes winning that game sets you up further, and 834 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,440 Speaker 4: a loss in that game might be more crushing than 835 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 4: a Super Bowl loss. 836 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 5: No, you're right, and playoff experience. Experience in big games matters, 837 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 5: And at this point you could pencil in the Chiefs 838 00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,400 Speaker 5: in the AFC Championship game every single year because that's 839 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,880 Speaker 5: that's just the way it's worked out. And they showed 840 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 5: and to Paula's point again, Baltimore made a lot of 841 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,720 Speaker 5: mistakes and they were self inflicted wounds and stupid, stupid, 842 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,399 Speaker 5: stupid mistakes that you cannot make in those big type 843 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,480 Speaker 5: of games. But to me, the MVP of the game, look, 844 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,719 Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes had a good game, you know, thirty of 845 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,680 Speaker 5: thirty nine, one one touchdown, put the ball where it 846 00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,879 Speaker 5: needed to go, manage really well, made a great play 847 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:53,719 Speaker 5: at the end of the game to seal the game 848 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:58,919 Speaker 5: to Marquez Veldezkantling. But you know, to me, the key 849 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 5: was Steve Spagnolo, I mean for him. Look, they loaded 850 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,280 Speaker 5: the box. They took away whatever run looks that Baltimore 851 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 5: wanted to get. In the regular season, Lamar Jackson led 852 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 5: the NFL in completion percentage in intermediate passes from ten 853 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,799 Speaker 5: to twenty. He completed one of those balls in this game. 854 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,279 Speaker 5: They took away those intermediate passes that he is so 855 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,320 Speaker 5: good at, forced him to hold the ball thirteen dropbacks. 856 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,600 Speaker 5: He held the ball more than four seconds, which is 857 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,719 Speaker 5: an eternity in this league when you can force a 858 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 5: quarterback to hold the ball for four seconds. So you know, 859 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,799 Speaker 5: it's it's unfortunate because look, Lamar Jackson is one of 860 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 5: the best. I mean, he's gonna be the MVP this year. 861 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 5: He's one of the best quarterbacks in recent history. But 862 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 5: for whatever reason, he continues to falter in big games 863 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:45,120 Speaker 5: in the playoffs. And it's no longer a small sample size, 864 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 5: and in six career playoff games, he's got a fifty 865 00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:52,480 Speaker 5: seven percent completion percent, six touchdowns and six interceptions and 866 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 5: a whopping twenty four secs in those six games. So 867 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 5: you know it's they've got to figure out and he's 868 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 5: got to figure out a way to care over that 869 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 5: regular season's success, when he looks like the best player 870 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,839 Speaker 5: in the league, when he looks unstoppable at times into 871 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 5: these huge playoff games. 872 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,120 Speaker 7: Well, and to your point about spags, they blitzed twenty 873 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 7: times at Kansas City defense, they had four sacks too often. 874 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,600 Speaker 7: Baltimore looked unequipped to really handle those blitz schemes and 875 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,920 Speaker 7: the trail blitzers that they send, and Lamar look confused 876 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 7: or at least he hesitated what the kids call buffering 877 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 7: back there, Where do I go with the ball? Should 878 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 7: I take off? 879 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:26,239 Speaker 6: Should I not? 880 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,120 Speaker 7: But in terms of an MVP, and it really pains 881 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 7: me to say this, Travis Kelcey with eleven catches on 882 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 7: eleven targets, including a touchdown, He had a lot of 883 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,720 Speaker 7: really good blocks. He played with an edge, he played 884 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,440 Speaker 7: with an attitude, and for him to make Kyle Hamilton, 885 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,200 Speaker 7: the All Pro safety, look stupid, I mean, honestly, how 886 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 7: many times is a yelling on my screen. 887 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 6: Cover Travis Kelcey to vote two guys to him? I mean, 888 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:55,320 Speaker 6: just take away Kelsey and force all those pedestrian receivers 889 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,360 Speaker 6: by Kansas City to beat you, and yet teams can't 890 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 6: do it. I just don't. I'd love to see what 891 00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 6: the Niners do as they try and defend Kansas City 892 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,240 Speaker 6: in this Super Bowl. What can they do of anything 893 00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:07,480 Speaker 6: to stop Travis Kelcey. 894 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:11,360 Speaker 4: Kelsey now has the record for postseason receptions, a record 895 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,440 Speaker 4: held by Jerry Rice, arguably the number one wide receiver 896 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 4: pass catcher the game has ever seen, and now Kelsey 897 00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 4: has that. Mark Patrick Mahomes again, all he does is 898 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,960 Speaker 4: win in the postseason fourteen and three. So yeah, maybe 899 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,600 Speaker 4: the Chiefs are underdogs, but it is hard to count 900 00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 4: them out because at least this season, Kyle, it seemed 901 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 4: as much as people were writing them off because they 902 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,239 Speaker 4: lost last week one at home to the Lions. They 903 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,600 Speaker 4: didn't look good well when games mattered the most late 904 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,240 Speaker 4: in the season. It's almost like they flipped the script, 905 00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,359 Speaker 4: or they flipped the switch, i should say, and all 906 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 4: of a sudden, Travis Kelcey, he was thought to be done. 907 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 4: He's playing some of his best ball late in the 908 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,240 Speaker 4: season and here in the playoffs. 909 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, and and you know two takeaways for that is 910 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,520 Speaker 5: the Chiefs throughout the season found a way to reinvent themselves. 911 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:02,080 Speaker 5: They overcame the state, they overcame weaknesses, found out what 912 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,880 Speaker 5: works best for them on offense, sometimes leaning on you know, 913 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 5: Isaiah Pacheco in their run game, leaning on their defense, 914 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:11,440 Speaker 5: you know, not things that the Kansasity Chiefs hadn't necessarily 915 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,360 Speaker 5: done in the past. And then to your second point, 916 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,440 Speaker 5: you know, you always want to be playing your best 917 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:19,040 Speaker 5: football late in the season, you know, in December, early January, 918 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:21,279 Speaker 5: and that's what they did. They were able to put 919 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,359 Speaker 5: it together late in the year and build on that 920 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 5: momentum into the playoffs. And again looking at this Arizona 921 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 5: Cardinals team, they were playing their best football at the 922 00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,280 Speaker 5: end of the season, and I think that that lessened 923 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 5: their ability to adapt to get better throughout the course 924 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:35,880 Speaker 5: of the season. Play their best football late is going 925 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:36,839 Speaker 5: to help them down the road. 926 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,239 Speaker 7: At one point this season, Kansas City had lost five 927 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 7: of eight. They ended up negative eleven and turnover differential 928 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 7: at the end of the regular season. Only three teams 929 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,120 Speaker 7: were worse. And yet they played a flawless game in 930 00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,680 Speaker 7: the AFC Championship game turnover free, drop free, they led 931 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 7: the NFL and drop passes zero against the Ravens. Now, 932 00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:58,360 Speaker 7: we've got a rematch of Super Bowl fifty four game 933 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:03,200 Speaker 7: that the Chiefs won thirty one to twenty back four 934 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,319 Speaker 7: years ago. Much more talk on Super Bowl fifty eight's 935 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:07,319 Speaker 7: in the days and. 936 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:07,960 Speaker 6: Weeks to come. 937 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 4: Special thanks behind the scenes, Jim Almahundro, Cody Fincher, Aliy 938 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,279 Speaker 4: Narini from Paul Calvic, Cavenabosh, I'm Craig Real Lou.
