Here's Craig Grilou, 12 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 1: Mike Jarecki and Bertrand Berry. Five days later, still disappointments. 13 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: It is remaining twenty eight twenty one. The Cardinals lose 14 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: on Thursday Football to the Seattle Seahawks. Certainly nuts the 15 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,199 Speaker 1: way the Cardinals anticipated Week eleven beginning, and of course 16 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: enjoying a three day break Friday, Saturday and Sunday. That 17 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 1: loss lingering and the Cardinals back on the practice field 18 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: today because, as they say, you have to turn the 19 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: page and get ready for the next week, and that 20 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: means focusing on the New England Patriots. We will as well, 21 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: but first we do have to kind of look back 22 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: at what happened five days earlier, because the Cardinals did 23 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: be trained to have an opportunity in front of themselves 24 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: be in first place in the NFC West by themselves 25 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: obviously until the Rams play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on 26 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: Monday Night football, so they would have had a share 27 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: of first place, if you will, because the Rams won 28 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: last night, and again Cardinals didn't play well enough to win. 29 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: That was my biggest takeaway. What was yours My big 30 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: seg was just missed opportunity. They had a great opportunity 31 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: to really solidify their standing in the NFC West, in 32 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: the nfcat as a whole, because I think had they 33 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: won that game, with the momentum that they would have 34 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: had coming off of that Buffalo game, beating a really 35 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 1: good football team and then beating another good team in Seattle, 36 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: they would have been considered one of the top top 37 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: teams in the NFC. So it was an opportunity blown. 38 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: But I still think that everything is in front of 39 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: them as far as all of their season goals, and 40 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: you just hate to see an opportunity like that slip 41 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: away at the stage in the season. Yeah, the Cardinals 42 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: still right there as far as the postseason is concerned. 43 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: They are seventh in the NFC, and remember seven teams 44 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: make the playoffs here in twenty twenty. But the Cardinals 45 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: certainly had an opportunity to potentially be even higher than 46 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: that MG and then look at perhaps hosting a first 47 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: round playoff game. But we're getting way ahead of ourselves 48 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: looking at that Thursday night football contest. The Cardinals never 49 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: led in that contest. They were within twenty five twenty one, 50 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: or I should say they were within twenty three twenty 51 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: one after Chase Edmonds scored on a three yard reception, 52 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: But after that it was all Seahawks. They added a 53 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: safety and then a field goal, and then they were 54 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: able to run out the clock because a lot of 55 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: that Cardinals just hurt themselves. Yeah, and he talked about 56 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: missed opportunities, shooting themselves in the foot. The penalties for 57 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifteen yards, you know, four falls starts, 58 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna have holding penalties, you know, and then you 59 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: just you can't for the you know, the mental air penalties. 60 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: Another slow start though, Craig. I mean, it only had 61 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: twenty three yards in the first half, and you would 62 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: think that those are scripted plays from Kingsbury. You know, 63 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: obviously the quarterback and the head coach. You know, twelut 64 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: the week they give you what they like Saturday night, 65 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: you kind of firm it up in this case Wednesday night. 66 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: But the slow starts are that affect him in that game, 67 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: and we knew that Russell Wilson was going to break out. 68 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: He's never lost three in a row. You know, based 69 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: on their remaining schedule, they could be in the driver's seat. 70 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: And I'm sure the Rams are gonna have something to 71 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: say about that and the Cardinals. But just a slow start, 72 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: and you know, you go back to Week seven and 73 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: you know they were able to force some turnamers in 74 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: that game. Russell Wilson had three interceptions to fumble here. 75 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: You know, obviously Kyler Murray taking that hit did not 76 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: help them because Cliff was protecting him when it comes 77 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: to running, and then some of those strolls and late 78 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: in the game probably affected his throwing motion. Yeah, I 79 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: think we're learning more and more about that hit by 80 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: Carlos Dunlap and it was the LJ. Collier sack, but 81 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: Dunlap falling on top of Murray there in the first 82 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: quarter that bothered that shoulder. A reported ac joints. Murray 83 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: though on the practice field earlier today but working out 84 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,799 Speaker 1: on the side, according to Darren Urban of acy Cardinals 85 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: dot Com. So will continue to monitor that as the 86 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: week goes on. But I think it did have a 87 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: factor and how the game was called with respect to 88 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: the offense, because overall, the Cardinals only had eighteen rushing 89 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: attempts for fifty seven yards. Kyler Murray only ran five 90 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: times for thirteen yards. Here's head coach Cliff Kingsbury. I 91 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: gotta give Seattle credit. They to get planned to try 92 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: and you know, make him hand the ball off. And 93 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: that's basically what it came down to. Cardinals with their 94 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: fewest rushing attempts this season and their fewest excuse me, 95 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: their fewest rushing yards of the season as well. And 96 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: we talk about at MJ you need to establish the 97 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: run in order to get open up the passing game. Yeah, 98 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: and we've been very complimentary of the offensive line, and 99 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: rightfully so. They're still ranked in the top when it 100 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: comes to rushing the football five point two yards to carry. 101 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: But they didn't have their best day in the offensive line. 102 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: Now in the in the first game against you know, 103 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: the Seahawks and Murray was maybe hit once this time 104 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: seven times. And you know, those guys get paid. And 105 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: we knew that Carlos Dunlop and getting Jamal Adams back, 106 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: we're going to be a factor. But yeah, the offensive 107 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: line that was wasn't one of their best days. And 108 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: I'm sure that Googler's in the meetings right now. I 109 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: was saying, we got to get back on track. Also 110 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: got to give some credit to the Seahawks defense. B Train. 111 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: What did you see that the Seahawks did to bottle 112 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: up that Cardinals running game. Well, the one thing I 113 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: saw them do one they played with great leverage on 114 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: the outside. They didn't allow the Cardinals to attack the 115 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: edges of their defense and and a lot of that 116 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: was a going scheme. A lot of that was just 117 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: a better play from the defensive linemen. They were much 118 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: more physical with their hands than the first time out, 119 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: and you have to give them a lot of credit. 120 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: They didn't allow Kyler to really get loose in the 121 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: run game. He had some some plays and you know 122 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: he's gonna make some plays, but uh, it was those 123 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: huge plays that really get the momentum going in offense 124 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: his favor that they really didn't allow the Cardinals to do. Now, 125 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: as Mike said, you know, when you shoot yourself on 126 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: the foot and you have these penalties and you started 127 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: with negative guardish plays, it's really hard to get those 128 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: uh plays to keep the chains moving and keep drives going. 129 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: But um, they they had a good game plan. You 130 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: have to get to Norton Junior a lot of credit. Uh, 131 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: they were a little different than what they were the 132 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,239 Speaker 1: first time around on something, and you know, they played 133 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: well enough to get to win a much contested battle. 134 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: And you know, unfortunately they made one or two more 135 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: plays than we did. Cardinals, despite the struggles and the 136 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: run games, still number two in the league and rushing 137 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: yards per game and number one in the league as 138 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: far as rushing yards per carry. But it was not 139 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: on display on Thursday Night Football. But we're reason why. Well, 140 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: here's Chase Edmonds. They really played us in the side 141 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: of the look a lot of times against our run looks, 142 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: meaning five defensive linemen, so that way we couldn't really 143 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: have no key combo blocks going up to the second level. 144 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: They did a great job of just kind of dictating 145 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: the line scremers on that on that end, and obviously 146 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: you got to give credit one credit is due. I 147 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: think one thing that we got to find a way 148 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: to do is just really when we have those type 149 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: of games where it's kind of slow, just find a 150 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,559 Speaker 1: way to where we can kind of get efficient runs 151 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: so we can continue to have confidence in calling run plays. 152 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: The number one total offense and the NFL held more 153 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: than one hundred yards below it's season average. The Cardinals 154 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: just three hundred and fourteen yards of offense. It's sixty 155 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: three plays, and they averaged five yards every time they 156 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: ran a play from scrimmage. Kyler Murray on what bothered 157 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: him the most about the loss of the Seahawks. Probably 158 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: just a little you know, self inflicted penalties. Uh, you know, 159 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: just really shooting ourselves in the foot. I mean that's 160 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: just a you gotta be better. We say it every week, 161 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: you know, try to give ourselves the best possible chance 162 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: to win the game. And that's that's Uh, that doesn't 163 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: help you. You both have brought up the penalties ten 164 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: of them. The offense had eight accepted penalties, four false starts, 165 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 1: three holding, one intentional grounding. And you look at the 166 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: four starts false starts, MJ. There were no fans and 167 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: attendance in that ball game. Yeah, that's that was a 168 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: disappointing thing because we know about the twelves and obviously 169 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: State Farms stadium and protecting the nest. You know you're 170 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: gonna get some false start ponies. But you know, maybe 171 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: they just realized that. You know, you don't want to 172 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: be laid on a place, so you get excited maybe 173 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: or you feel like I need to get the first 174 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: step in. But again, anything pre snap or post snap, 175 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: those are mental aires. And it's gone on all year, 176 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: and you know, there was a couple of weeks ago 177 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: maybe they didn't have as many penalties as their opponent, 178 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: but this is still happening. And first of all, you 179 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: gotta beat your opponent, but you also can beat yourselves, 180 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: you know, and they've been doing that just based on 181 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: the penalties, putting you behind the sticks, negative plays, and 182 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you know it's third and 183 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: thirteen versus you know, third and three, three penalties stand 184 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: out betrayed obviously, the Drake ker Patrick taunting call, the 185 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: intentional grounding call which was followed up by the holding 186 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: call by j R. Sweezy, and the end zone that 187 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: resulted in a safety. Those three penalties alone directly contributed 188 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 1: to Seahawks points to where the Cardinals instead of driving 189 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: for a game time touchdown, very well, it could have 190 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 1: been driving for a game tie field goal or if 191 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: nothing else, maybe just a game winning drive at that 192 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: last possession of the ball game. Anytime that you have 193 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: a penalty that costs you points, that that's a dagger 194 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: that that definitely kills you and you just can't have it. 195 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: And I know Sweezy wasn't trying. It was an effort play. 196 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: He just got beat inside and he tried his best 197 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: to protect his quarterback. Some of those you can live 198 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: with because you know why he did it, but you 199 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: do have to you do have to remind them that 200 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: you just can't. You just got to be better. And 201 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: when you have plays that that that put you out 202 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: of scoring positions and scoring situations, yeah, those are the 203 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: ones that hurt a little bit more than the other ones. 204 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: But I would say if if there were penalties that 205 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: were more frustrating for this team. It had to be 206 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: the false starts because those are direct mental lasses and 207 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 1: the fact that you didn't have a crowd to contribute 208 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: to that that that's just mental focusing and that's completely 209 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: on the players, and that's something that you just can't have. 210 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: And I know if you had to put a hierarchy 211 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: on those penalties, I know coach Coogler and Coach Kingsberry 212 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: are going to look at those those false starts and 213 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: be like, man, we absolutely cannot have those. The Drake 214 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: or Patrick won that that's just that best Philly and 215 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: you definitely can't have that. But those those false starts 216 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: are the ones that are really going to stick with 217 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: those guys for a while. And that goes back to 218 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: something you said earlier, m J. And all of a sudden, 219 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: you're playing from behind the sticks, so to speak, and 220 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: then that just completely narrows your play calling ability because 221 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: instead of a first and ten, it's the first and 222 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: fifteen or second and four, it's a second and nine 223 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: and then third downs. Third and seven goes to third 224 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: and twelve. You can't have those kind of penalties, regardless 225 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: of what what stage of the ball game you're in, Yeah, 226 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: and it affects their up tempo offense. So you can't 227 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: go up tempo and go three and out. Well, you 228 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: only had the ball for a minute thirty, so this 229 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: offense is predicated I'm being able to run the football 230 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: and then it sets up the pass and you know, 231 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: you know, you still look at Drake and Edmonds as 232 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: your one two punch and you know Kyler Murray, but 233 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: you have to win into line of scrimmage. But you 234 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: have to avoid those negative plays because you know, when 235 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,959 Speaker 1: you look at your playbook three and thirteen, maybe we're 236 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: just gonna throw screen passers or training to play for 237 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: field position where a third and three I can do 238 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 1: a lot of different things. Cardinals are the most penalized 239 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: team in the league. Head coach Cliff Kingsbury, I just 240 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: got to refocus and be better moving forward when that 241 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,839 Speaker 1: occurs most of the time that they're already feeling bad 242 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: about the situation, and so you just try to make 243 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: sure we can get past it and not allow it 244 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: to happen again and not allowed to effect us moving forward. 245 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,239 Speaker 1: We train, or a coach do as far as correcting 246 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: these penalties, because how much is it on coaching how 247 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: much it is on the players. It just appears on 248 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 1: the type of punalties that the false arts are completely 249 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: on the player because you've got to know what this 250 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: nap count is. You've given that before they break the huddle. 251 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: Those other type portunalities, those are effort Those are you 252 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 1: just you coach those up and you show the member's stake. 253 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: Then you add you mcourage them to do better. But 254 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: the mental ones are the ones that are most difficult 255 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: and mass up to the players themselves. Bert Gang update 256 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: to the Linux version of the Cardinals mobile app today. 257 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 1: The app features an all new redesign a home screen experience. 258 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: Visit easy Cardinals dot com slash app four more as 259 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: we continue here on the Cardinals Red Sea Report. On 260 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: the other side, there was a bright spot on that 261 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: Thursday night contest, and we'll talk about it next right 262 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. Snap to Wilson, 263 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: Cardinals bringing some pressure. It's picked up Wilson with time 264 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: in the pocket now and trouble and sacked about four 265 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 1: Cardinals in the backfield. But it's Isaiah Simmons of the 266 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: rookie that gets the Russell Wilson first to force a 267 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: fund shotgun snapp to Wilson, straight drop back, steps up 268 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: in the pocket, takes off running far side at the 269 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: forty and drilled by Simmons at the forty one. Isaiah 270 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: Simmons is balling shotgun statt Wilson quick throw to the left, 271 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,719 Speaker 1: flat Metcalf caught it at the thirty eight, drop by 272 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons for a loss at the thirty seventy yard line. 273 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: Simmons has played terrific football tonight, the rookie really starting 274 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: to get comfortable out there. Without question, is best game 275 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: of the season. Isaiah Simmons ten tackles, one sack, two 276 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: tackles for loss, one quarterback hit. Perhaps the only bright 277 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: spot from Thursday Night's loss to the Seahawks on Thursday 278 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: Night Football twenty eight twenty one. I guess maybe the 279 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: other bright spot. The Cardinals, despite how poorly they played 280 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: in all three phases, did have an opportunity to tie 281 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: that ball game up with that last drive that fell 282 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: shorts when Kyle the Murray was sacked on fourth down 283 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: and the Cardinals turned it over on downs. As we 284 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: continue here on the Cardinals Red Sea Report, Craig Rayelu, 285 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: Mike Darecki and Bertram Berry focusing though on the positive, 286 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: and that would be Isaiah Simmons. And how about this 287 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: betraying Simmons's first career sack, his first career interception. I 288 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: guess Russell Wilson not bad. And when you started talking 289 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: about things that you will remember at the end of 290 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: your career, that would definitely be one of those feathers 291 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: in his cap that he'll be able to brag to 292 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: his friends and guys that he played with. It is like, hey, 293 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: I was able to get a sack and a turnover 294 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: and an interception against one of the best quarterbacks arguably 295 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: of all times. So that's that's great for him. I 296 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: think with each play his confidence grows more and more. 297 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: And I know for Vans, Joseph and the Cardinal's defense, 298 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: they are definitely happy to see him starting to come 299 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: into his own because it's much needed. With all of 300 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: the injuries that the Cardinals have suffered on the defensive side, 301 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: they're definitely going to need as many playmakers as possible 302 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: to step up, and the rookie finally was able to 303 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: come in and do just that in a big way. Yeah, 304 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: you can go back to you free agency they signed 305 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: them Andre cam Bowl obviously had Jordan Hicks in the mix. 306 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: And then the draft comes around. The draft Isaiah Simmons, 307 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: who they had rink. We're very high on their board 308 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: in the you know, fan baseball. Why is he you know, 309 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: he's not getting playing time. I give Vans Joseph a 310 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: lot of credit here because they've been very consistent about 311 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: slow play. He's playing the will linebacker position, but we're 312 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: watching him get a chance to cover. He's playing on 313 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: special teams, making tackles, And to me, Craig, I mean 314 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: you could say this for a lot of players, because 315 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: we do see jumps from one year to the next. 316 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: But give Isaiah Simmons an entire offseason, okay with OTAs, 317 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: and then a preseason, and I'm telling you he'll be 318 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: a three down player next year and he'll be a 319 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: starter on this roster. That first meeting against the Seahawks, 320 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: played only five defensive snaps, and it was that fifth 321 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: defensive snap in which he picked off Wilson. So if 322 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: you look at a seven game sample size and now 323 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: what he has done over his last three games weeks nine, ten, 324 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: and eleven, his snap count has grab has really increased 325 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: thirty two, thirty two and a season high forty five 326 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: this past Thursday against the Seahawks. He's played one hundred 327 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: and nine snaps the past three games eighty three total 328 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: snaps over his first seven games. He's obviously more comfortable, 329 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: The coaching staff is obviously more comfortable with having him 330 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: out on the field, and of course his teammates like 331 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 1: seeing him on the field. Here's Jordan Hicks. The sky's 332 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: the limit with Isaiah. I surprise not at all. You know, 333 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: he's he's done great things out there on the practice field. 334 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 1: And you know his ability to flash. You're watching film 335 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: and he's not on the on the screen, and then 336 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: the next thing you know, he's making the tackle. So 337 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 1: his ability is there. Man. You've seen him take the 338 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: steps in preparation and and uh, you know, and in 339 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: trying to detail the work. We haven't heard a lot 340 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: from Simmons this season, but we did hear from him 341 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: earlier today. Be trained. And I'm getting this from Kyle 342 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: Utgard of Easy Cardinals dot Com. Simmons to the media, quote, 343 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 1: I've always been the star guy. I'm not going to lie. 344 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: It was tough and quotes and that's in respects to 345 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: having to sit and wait his time. But I'll give 346 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: him credit, Betrain. We didn't hear him be critical of anybody. 347 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: We didn't hear him yellow or scream as tough as 348 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: it is. You know, maybe he had to buy his 349 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: tongue a little bit and wait his time. But as 350 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: Vance Joseph said a couple of weeks ago, his time 351 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: is now. Yeah, his time is now, and I think 352 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 1: for him, he wants to come in and he wants 353 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: to justify why he was a top tick in the draft. 354 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: And as he said, he's always been the guy. He's 355 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: always been the leader of his unit. And to not 356 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: have that that that responsibility early in his career, yeah, 357 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 1: it's frustrating for him. But I think everybody needs to 358 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: understand that this is a marathon, not a sprint. This 359 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: is just your one And as Mike just talked about, 360 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: when you don't have an off season, you don't have tage, 361 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 1: you don't have mini cans. Those are critical reps for 362 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: a guy that's getting to this league and lying how 363 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 1: to be a professional. He basically had to learn on 364 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: the fly. So I think that he's come along really 365 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: according to schedule and the fact that they didn't put 366 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: him in harm's way to potentially ruin his confidence for life. 367 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: I think a lot of credit goes to coach Joseph 368 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: and coach Kingsbury and and the rest of the defensive staff, 369 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: because could have put him out there when he wasn't ready, 370 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,360 Speaker 1: you could have damaged him and he man never recovered. 371 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: So I love the fact that he starts. He's coming 372 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 1: along slowly but surely, and I think it's gonna end 373 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: up with a big crescendo these last six games. There 374 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 1: was a plan in place MJ with respects to playing 375 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: time with Simmons. You hear slow play a lot. But 376 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: there was also another aspect of this, and that was 377 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: the signing of Devandre Campbell and free agency ahead of 378 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 1: the draft. There was in week one, Week two, week three, 379 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 1: there was really no need to force feed Isaiah Simmons. Now, 380 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: circumstances are different thing. Yeah, you play them, but the 381 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: Cardinals at that point of the season did not have to, no, 382 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 1: and they were trying to win games. And you know, Campbell, 383 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: I thought he got off to a good start. He's 384 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 1: been dealing with some injuries and you know, I think 385 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 1: that we should see more of a rotation there between 386 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 1: Hicks and Campbell and then Isaiah Simmons. And again he 387 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: can play in the slot, he can play, he can 388 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: rush the pastor we obviously got a chance to see there. 389 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: He's playing the will and there are times that he's 390 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: going to get a chance to, you know, cover a 391 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: tight end down the field. So you just talk about 392 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: skill set and just the upside and when nothing was 393 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 1: given to him, he's earned it. And after the bye week, 394 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 1: he said he came back van stole as he came 395 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: back a different guy. He said, I'm ready and in 396 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: Hassan Roddick told us law you know, the game before that, 397 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: he came to the sidelines that I can play in 398 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: this league. So we know about confidence and being comfortable 399 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: and playing faster. I think they approached it the right way. 400 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: You know, they're trying to win games, and you have 401 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 1: a veteran guy that they paid a lot of money 402 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: to in Campbell, but I think he's going to get 403 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: more playing time down the stretch. There was a reason 404 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 1: why the Cardinals invested the eighth overall pick and Simmons, 405 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: and I think now we're starting to see it now, 406 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: meaning US fans and the media who don't get to 407 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: see all of practice and all of the work behind 408 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: the scenes. Here's head coach Cliff Kingsbury. It's definitely exciting 409 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: for us to see. You know, he wanted to play 410 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: a lot initially, and I think our defense staff at 411 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: a treminish job of bringing him along at the right 412 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: pace to give him stuff that he could be successful 413 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: at and put him positions to be successful early on. 414 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: And now he's getting a field for the game and 415 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: slowing down for him. He's getting more of the playbook 416 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,239 Speaker 1: in and we need him to continue to step up 417 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: and we're seeing the entire I wouldn't say the entire 418 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: skill set, but the versatility of an Isaiah Simmons be 419 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: trained because at inside linebacker, yeah, you have to be 420 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,719 Speaker 1: able to rush the quarterback at times. You also have 421 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: to set the edge, get the running back at the 422 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: ball carrier and then drop into coverage. And it hasn't 423 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: been a lot, but Simmons has shown that ability as well, 424 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: whether it's a slot receiver or a tight end, and 425 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: that's what you want. You want him to be able 426 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: to show you the entire package. You're not going to 427 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: get at all in one game. To say, but if 428 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: you're getting in the small sample size. Like you said, 429 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: the last three games, you've seen his workload increase and 430 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: we've seen the production increase. And that's that's what you want. 431 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,479 Speaker 1: You want him to slowly build and get better as 432 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 1: time goes on. And I think confidence is something that's 433 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,719 Speaker 1: so underrated. When you talk about the NFL. People just 434 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: assume that because you've made it to that point that 435 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: everybody has all the confidence in the world. Well that's 436 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: just not true. There could be things that happen. You 437 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 1: could be in a situation like Isaiah where he's behind 438 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,479 Speaker 1: the guy, a veteran, and he starts to doubt himself. 439 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: But he fought through that and now he's at a 440 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: point where he's definitely on the upticking and I think 441 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 1: with the timing of it, it couldn't have been better. 442 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: And I know for him this only means that the 443 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 1: future is awfully bright for himself and for us as 444 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 1: Cardinal fans who was going to watch him. And you 445 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 1: know what, he's become a better special teams player. I 446 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: mean you see him running down the field covering kicks. 447 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: I mean, he's got the size, he's got the speed, 448 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 1: and I'm not afraid to hit, so you know, you 449 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: always had your normal special teams guy and guardick Zeke Turner, Trencherfield. 450 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: But he's done a good job going down there. And 451 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: that's another opportunity. When you're not getting a lot of 452 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: playing time and you want to be active on game day, 453 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 1: you have to play on special teams. And that might 454 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: be the most impressive thing about Simmons because you obviously 455 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: want to play. You want to be on that field defensively, 456 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: but if you're not, how do you react when you're 457 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: told you have to play special teams when maybe you 458 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: haven't always played special teams high school, college, As he 459 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 1: said earlier, he's always been the star guy. Well, star 460 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: guys don't play special teams. Yet here is the number 461 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: eight overall pick, and there are some tackles MJ that 462 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: you're just open up your eyes going wow, because he's 463 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 1: one of the first down the field, whether it's kickoff 464 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: or punt coverage exactly. And that's something I didn't even 465 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: think about because when you're drafted eight overall, Yeah, his 466 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: snapcount is going up. But that's the way you you 467 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: you know, you build chemistry and you could trust from 468 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: your Jeff Rogers, the special teams coach. And then when 469 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: your numbers called on defense and you know he's playing 470 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: a lot more free, and you can see he's more 471 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 1: confident and more comfortable, and that makes a huge difference 472 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: where you're not thinking you can react and play a 473 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 1: lot faster, a team high ten tackles in that game 474 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: against the Seahawks on Thursday Night football, and I'll be 475 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: training that's I wouldn't say that's the bar, but now 476 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: we know what Simmons is capable of doing, and it's 477 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 1: up to him to now to string along a good 478 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: game one after another after another. And I think he's 479 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: very capable of doing it, and I anticipate that he will. 480 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: And to really further that point, when you start talking 481 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 1: about special teams, it's the quickest way to get your 482 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,479 Speaker 1: confidence up. If you go down there, you run down there, 483 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: your kickoff and you blow something up where you make 484 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: a big key tackle and really tinting that that offensive 485 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: back there, that's only going to increase and then you 486 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: get that love and adulation and from your teammates that 487 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: that's only going to make your confidence skyrocket. And I 488 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: think it was probably one of those plays that really 489 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: contributed to him playing well on the defensive sight, and 490 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 1: so a lot of guys kind of poo poo special 491 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: teams and look at it as a demotion to some degree. 492 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,439 Speaker 1: But there's no quicker way to affect the game than 493 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: to run down there and really flip the field in 494 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: the favor of your team. Let's go back to Week one. 495 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: I mean it was very clear from the first you 496 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: know possession with the San Francisco forty nine ers, Kyle 497 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,360 Speaker 1: Shannon was going at him. I mean he targeted him 498 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: just because didn't know this natural position, obviously didn't have 499 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: preseasons and have an offseason, and what you know. Here 500 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: we are a couple of months later, and it's a 501 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 1: huge difference and again playing at a high level in 502 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: confidence wise. I see him as a three down starter. 503 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 1: Whether it's this year, but I definitely think next year. 504 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: So all the next opportunity for Simmons this coming Sunday 505 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: at New England Gillette Stadium, eleven am, Arizona time kickoff. 506 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: We will talk about the New England Patriots.

However, the 520 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: Patriots lost at the Texans twenty seven to twenty. As 521 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: we welcome back to the second half the Cardinals read 522 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: Sea report Greig Rayolu, Mike Drecky, and Bertram Berry. As 523 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: we turned the page. Now looking at week twelve, the 524 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,959 Speaker 1: Cardinals on the road at New England Gillette Stadium. Eleven 525 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 1: am is the kickoff six thirty am. Pregame coverage begins 526 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 1: on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. This Patriots team four 527 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: and six, third place in the AFC East, the eleven 528 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: seed MG They have made the playoffs every year since 529 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, and that year they didn't get 530 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: in despite an eleven and five record. Here they are, 531 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: though obviously no Tom Brady, no Rob Gronkowski. They had 532 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: eight players opt out before the season began because of 533 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen, and here they are on the outside and 534 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 1: really on the outside looking in as far as trying 535 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: to get into that playoff picture. Yeah, disappointing loss because 536 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: you know, they beat the Ravens a week before. They 537 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: ran them all thirty nine times for one hundred and 538 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: seventy three yards. And you know, Belichick was on his 539 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 1: radio show on Monday on WEI and they were saying, 540 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: why didn't you go back to the same game plan. 541 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: He said, well, cam through for three fifty five. Now, 542 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: he did throw a fifty yard pass towards the end there. So, yeah, 543 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: when you beat the Ravens and you hold Lamar Jackson 544 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: to less than two hundred and fifty yards, and you know, 545 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson had fifty five yards. But you know, it 546 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: seems like Demir Bird had a good game. Myers just 547 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 1: had a good game. You know, it looks like Rex 548 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: Burkehead's going to be out a knee injury. They love 549 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: the Harris Kid. You know, you got James White, Sony Michelle, 550 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: So you would think they want to run the ball, 551 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: but you know they're gonna obviously take advantage of the matchups. 552 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: But you know, I thought they would run the ball 553 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: more than they pass it in that game, Patriots just 554 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: four wins be trained and it's another one of those 555 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: games that on paper, the Cardinals certainly have a distinct advantage. 556 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: Yet why does this contest bother me? All? Two reasons. One, 557 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: it's on the road at Gillette State, heum, we never 558 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: know about the weather. And two was that gentleman who 559 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: wears a hoodie on the other side of the field 560 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: by the name of Bill Belichick Because he can make 561 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: the best teams look silly on any given Sunday, No question, 562 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: this has been one of his greatest challenges as far 563 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: as trying to get a team to play well and 564 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: play consistent when you don't have the numbers that you 565 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: talked about with guys out there now, and also injuries 566 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: and guys that have moved on. It definitely makes it tough. 567 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: But I wouldn't bet against one of the more accomplished 568 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: quarter of our coaches, I should say, in the history 569 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: of the game. And so he's going to figure out 570 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: a way to try to make you play less handed 571 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: in And one thing you can say about the Patriots, 572 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: even though it's been a down year, they haven't had 573 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: the success that you usually see. We're not blown out 574 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: of games. These games are usually close. These games are 575 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: usually coming down to one possession, And when you looking 576 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: at it from that perspective, I think he's done a 577 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: really good job of keeping the together with everything that 578 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: has kind of gone on around him and everybody who 579 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: wants to be in Caount Newton, everybody wants to blame 580 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: coach Belichick, but neither one of those individuals have made 581 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 1: any excuses. They've stood there and they've owned their responsibility. 582 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: And I think this is going to be another tough 583 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: game that's going to come down to the wire, and 584 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: we just have to make sure that we don't beat 585 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: ourselves with the penalties which have ultimately cost us the 586 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. Yeah, and by the way, the 587 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: Patriots the least penalized team in the National Football League. 588 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 1: That's the matchup on the field. Now, there is the 589 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: other storyline here, and that is the two head coaches, 590 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury and Bill Belichick. Kingsbury, drafted by the Patriots 591 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: with the two hundred first pick in two thousand three, 592 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: spent that season on injured reserve with an arm injury. 593 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: But it's what he did with that time, even though 594 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: he was not playing, he was doing a lot of 595 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: work with the offensive coaching staffs, trying to figure out 596 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: maybe if coaching was in his future. And it's a 597 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: time and Kingsbury his life, especially his playing career, that 598 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: he looks back on very very fondly. Kingsbury earlier this 599 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: week about him and Belichick. He's obviously a legend, and 600 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: there's definitely an intimidation factor there even when you're done playing, 601 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: just because of always accomplished and you know what he's about. 602 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: But he's been amazing to me over the years. And 603 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: even when I got fired there a text teach. He 604 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: reached out and you know, I allowed me to come 605 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: up there when I was a Texas tech and sit 606 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: in on meetings and go to practices and can't thank 607 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: him enough for all he's done for me. So just 608 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: to be on the same field with him and in 609 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: this capacity will be a huge honor. And like I 610 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: said before, it just very grateful for the opportunity. Now. 611 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: Belichick also a very complimentary of Kingsbury. When Belichick held 612 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,239 Speaker 1: a conference call with Arizona reporters on Monday, didn't go 613 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: into a lot of depth he never does, but did 614 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: say that Kingsbury quote has done an outstanding job. Good 615 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: young team that continues to get better. It's a good 616 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: football team end quote. But that relationship where Kingsbury can 617 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: go to Belichick and say, hey, you know what about this, 618 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: and it's something that the two of them have been 619 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: able to keep in touch over the years. Probably not 620 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: this week, but it is a relationship that I know 621 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: Kingsbury values very much. Oh well, I mean just to 622 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: be a sponge and he was on an injured reserve 623 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: and he basically gave him projects where you know, he 624 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: just helped breaking down film and you know, obviously trying 625 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: to look at how they can you know, move the ball. 626 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: So it really started to cut his seat there. But 627 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: he says he still uses some of the Belichick things 628 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: that he learned playing there, and then obviously over the 629 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: years just having a relationship with him that he applies 630 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: with the Arizona Cardinals and you know, when you think 631 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: of Bill Belichick, you think of want situational football. And 632 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: he said Kingsbury would say on a Friday, they would 633 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: go over and over and you're thinking this is never 634 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: going to happen, and then three weeks later it happened. 635 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: So but to me, Craig, when you know, obviously after 636 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: the pleasant trees at midfield, you know, and before the game, 637 00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: I gotta think Cliff's gonna have some butterflies though, looking 638 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: across the field, going that's the guy, you know, I mean, 639 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 1: Cliffs aren the right to be a head coach in 640 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: the NFL. I think he's definitely made strides. I think 641 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: it's still a work in progress with him and Kyler Murray, 642 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 1: you know, trying to close out games. But I gotta 643 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: think he's gonna have some butterflies. And you know, we 644 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: looked at last week they only had twenty three yards 645 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: in the first first quarter, and they gotta get off 646 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: to a better start. And that comes down the scripted 647 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: plays in execution. Yeah, the one thing about any Belichick 648 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: coach team is when he's on that sideline, the one 649 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: thing that he is very good at and getting the 650 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 1: word across to his defense is taking away your best 651 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: option in this case, perhaps that's Kyler Murray, maybe that's 652 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. Kingsbury on what to expect from Belichick this 653 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: week from an offensive perspective, I think, you know, Bill 654 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: is going to do a tremendus job of kind of 655 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: taking away what you do. Well. Yeah, I think a 656 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: lot of the folks is gonna be on us just 657 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: eliminating those negative players. If we have the same number 658 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: of negative plays and penalties as we did last week, 659 00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: we won't have a lot of success up there, and 660 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 1: our us know that, so a lot of focuses on 661 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: us improving in those areas and making sure we're playing 662 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: downhill more. There is a very interesting chess match here 663 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 1: on Sunday b train because it wouldn't be the first 664 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,439 Speaker 1: time and it probably will not be the last time. 665 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 1: But there are a lot of coaches that even before 666 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: the ball is kicked off, they're already beaten when they 667 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: go up against Bill Belichick, and he's got to understand 668 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: that that mental warfare is going to be key, especially 669 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,919 Speaker 1: in that first quarters, because you don't want to find 670 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: yourself in a big hole and then playing from behind 671 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 1: the rest of the game. And I know, of course 672 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: he's got a great reverence rightfully, So for Belicheck, I'm 673 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,359 Speaker 1: kind of curious where he keeps the ring. That's what 674 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 1: I want to I want to ask which Kingberry where 675 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: he keeps the ring. But I think that even though 676 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: he has that reverence, when you look at at mentor, 677 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,240 Speaker 1: there's nobody that you want to beat more than your mentor. 678 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: So I would actually advise coach Kingsberry to not overdo it, 679 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: to not put too much into this game plan and 680 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: try to do too much, to try to outsmart coach Beltech, 681 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: because he's seen it all, he's done it all, he's 682 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: been through it all, and you just want to be 683 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: who you are, be true to yourself and make sure 684 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 1: that you were concerned about your team playing as mistake 685 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 1: free football and playing with as much energy as they 686 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: possibly can now be. Try. Kingsbury was asked this week 687 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: about that Super Bowl ring, did not say where he 688 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,439 Speaker 1: keeps it, but did acknowledge that sometimes he would bring 689 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,399 Speaker 1: it out on recruiting visits when he was the head 690 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: coach at Texas Tech. Try to close the deal, if 691 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,439 Speaker 1: you will, when you bring out that massive ring. Hey, 692 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: the playing always comes in handy I mean, if you 693 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 1: got it, you gotta flaunt at times and it can 694 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: be a great you know, segue into a lot of 695 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: different things. So I'm not mad at him. If he 696 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: was on the team, he earned it. This just the 697 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 1: fifteenth meeting all time between the Cardinals and Patriots. Yeah, 698 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: when you're in opposite divisions, opposite conferences, you do not 699 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 1: play very often. Once every four years and it's once 700 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 1: every eight years in which you visit the other team's stadium. 701 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 1: More on this matchup in week twelve. As we continue. 702 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,320 Speaker 1: It is the Cardinals Red Sea report on the Arizona 703 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 1: Cardinals Radio Network. The receivers left, one of the right 704 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: dealing in the backfield. If Brady drops and throws pumps 705 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: right and then Brady is sacked by bertrand Berry, there's 706 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 1: a flag down, but Brady's down as well thanks to 707 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 1: bertrand Berry against his first cardinal sack. I wait a second, Pasha, 708 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,799 Speaker 1: there was a flag on the play b train did 709 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 1: that count? Oh? Yes it did? Okay. It was my 710 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 1: first official sack as a Cardinal and it was that 711 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: fun Devil stadium man. I haven't pictures approven, Okay, aside 712 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,240 Speaker 1: from it being your first ever second once again props 713 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: to our first ever sack of the cardinal forever sack 714 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: as the car. Yes, but our fine senior broadcast manager 715 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,839 Speaker 1: and producer Jim and Mahendro always finds these highlights with 716 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,759 Speaker 1: Bertram Berry. But perhaps because of who it was against 717 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,319 Speaker 1: and whether you believe he's the greatest quarterback of all 718 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 1: time or not, you cannot discredit his resume. Is that 719 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,279 Speaker 1: the most impressive or the best sack you've had in 720 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 1: your career? It's up there because of who it is, 721 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 1: And I gotta say this was the record. I do 722 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 1: believe I got him five times. Um, and uh, you know, 723 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 1: proud of each and every one of those, but you know, 724 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: it is what it is when when you when you 725 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,240 Speaker 1: are able to get quarterbacks on the ground, it really 726 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 1: doesn't matter until your career is over. And that being said, 727 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 1: out of my career is over. Yeah, that one, that 728 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 1: one goes up the top of the list because it's 729 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 1: actually tom terrific and so um. I will always treasure 730 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,880 Speaker 1: each and every one of them, but not all sacks 731 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 1: are created each and then uh, you know your former 732 00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 1: teammate when you were playing against the Giant and Kurt 733 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,799 Speaker 1: Warner he had a few. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, 734 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 1: we don't. We don't talk about that one. I love 735 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 1: my brother Kurt, and oh I understand, Hey, we just 736 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: you you helped us get him back here, you know 737 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 1: what I mean, when he obviously got bench and next thing, 738 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 1: you know, he's a quarterback of the Cardinals. So it 739 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,439 Speaker 1: all worked out. By the way, I'm reminded here by 740 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: jim I'm a hunter that the first sack by Bertrand 741 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: Berry and his Cardinal's career, Tom Brady his last sack 742 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,800 Speaker 1: of his Cardinal's career and his career period Aaron Rodgers. 743 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: So that's pretty impressive. Their impressive bookends right there. I mean, 744 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:38,799 Speaker 1: I did what I could do when I could do. 745 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 1: You know what I mean when I when I was 746 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 1: on the field, I gave him what I had and 747 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 1: I was fortunate enough I had some great teammates that 748 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 1: put me in position to make some play. I just 749 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,800 Speaker 1: love it. Every time we talk about an opponent, Jimmy 750 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: finds a you know, nice little highlighting. It's Bertrand's sacking 751 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,279 Speaker 1: the quarterback. It's a good thing. Batran was good at 752 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: what he did. Like I said, I had a lot 753 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 1: of good coaches teammates and had a lot of good fortune. 754 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 1: I would blessed. Well, let's hopefully the Cardinals have some 755 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 1: plays in them this Sunday when they play the Patriots 756 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 1: and try to get back in the win column. And 757 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 1: improved to seven and four on this season. We touched 758 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,920 Speaker 1: on the cardinals lack of a ground game. Well, perhaps 759 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 1: the Cardinals can run a little bit against this Patriots defense. 760 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,280 Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds on what to expect when going up against 761 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: the Patriots and of course won Bill Belichick. I'm gonna 762 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 1: be a big challenge for us this week, obviously, going 763 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: against what most people considered the best coach probably all 764 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 1: time in the NFL. So no easy task, especially going 765 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 1: up to New England. But we gotta just find a 766 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,400 Speaker 1: way win a football game against the talented team in 767 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,400 Speaker 1: the world coach team. And I think we can do 768 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 1: that if we just continue to just execute final ways 769 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 1: to just worry about us and worry about our game 770 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:47,880 Speaker 1: plan and you know, go out there and do what 771 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 1: we gotta do. Now be trained. Two weeks ago, this 772 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 1: Patriots team really clamped down on Lamar Jackson. They did 773 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:59,160 Speaker 1: not have the same success against DeShawn Watson this past Sunday, 774 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: and now you've kind probably got those two quarterbacks, you know, multiplied. 775 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 1: When you talk about Kyler Murray, what do you expect 776 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,880 Speaker 1: Belichick to kind of dial up when you have a 777 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 1: quarterback who is just as a dynamic throwing the football 778 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,799 Speaker 1: as he is running the football. I think they're going 779 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 1: to try to mix up the coverages in the in 780 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:21,399 Speaker 1: the secondary trying to trying to go after him. As 781 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,320 Speaker 1: far as keeping him in that pocket, I think that's 782 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 1: almost submission impossible, and I think a lot of defensive 783 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,439 Speaker 1: coordinators as well as Coach Belichick has conceded that that's 784 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,720 Speaker 1: not really the best idea against Kyler because he kills 785 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 1: a lot of that. He's got an uncanny knack of 786 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: a sense of awareness, and he knows how to get 787 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,480 Speaker 1: himself out of harm's way. But I think he's going 788 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 1: to really try to try to give him some looks 789 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,440 Speaker 1: that appear one way, but then at the very last minute, 790 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,840 Speaker 1: he's going to try to put those secondary players in 791 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,480 Speaker 1: different positions to try to confuse Kyler a little bit. 792 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 1: Because keep in mind, Kyler, as well as he's played, 793 00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 1: this is still his second year as a professional at 794 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 1: the quarterback position, So there's still allow for him to 795 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:06,560 Speaker 1: learn as far as reading coverages and and seeing different 796 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,520 Speaker 1: looking and knowing where to go with the ball. So 797 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 1: Belichick is not going to give him any break. He's 798 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,399 Speaker 1: not gonna cut him any flack. He's gonna treat him 799 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,319 Speaker 1: like he would treat a season vetteran and try to 800 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,800 Speaker 1: find his weaknesses and try to exploit him. Yesterday on 801 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 1: the conference call, this is what Belichick said about Murray. 802 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,360 Speaker 1: He can hurt you in a lot of different ways. 803 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,520 Speaker 1: He's fast, explosive player with a good arm. He's in 804 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 1: a good offensive system. Cliff puts him in a pressure 805 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,399 Speaker 1: on him with the scheme they run, the running game, 806 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 1: the passing game, the RPOs, the tempo. He gives you 807 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,720 Speaker 1: a lot of things to deal with well. Safety Adrian 808 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,959 Speaker 1: Phillips after that game against the Texans, asked about Deshaun Watson. Quote, 809 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:47,799 Speaker 1: he's one of those magical players and if you let 810 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 1: him out of the pocket, it's going to be a 811 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 1: long day. We have a good opponent coming up this 812 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 1: week and it's going to be pretty much the same thing. 813 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,280 Speaker 1: End quote. So this is a run of those dual 814 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,840 Speaker 1: threat quarterbacks, if you will to where because the Patriots, 815 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 1: and a lot of those players that we talked about 816 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,400 Speaker 1: that opted out before the season came on the defensive ent. 817 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,080 Speaker 1: Now they still have Devin McCarthy, they still have Stefan Gilmore, 818 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 1: although Gilmore has missed three games with a knee injury, 819 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,440 Speaker 1: so we'll have to wait and see just how healthy 820 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:18,080 Speaker 1: he is this week. It is certainly a defense and 821 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,719 Speaker 1: even an offense be trained. That's again, as we say 822 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 1: a lot on this show. On paper, this team has 823 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 1: an advantage, but when you go on the road, sometimes 824 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:31,480 Speaker 1: that advantage it gets kind of put to the wayside. 825 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,200 Speaker 1: It does get put to the wayside. But I think 826 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,240 Speaker 1: with coach Belichick, a lot of those things just don't 827 00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,120 Speaker 1: add up. And you can have a lot of quotes 828 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 1: and cliches and phrases and things of that nature, but 829 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 1: we know his genius is that he goes against the 830 00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 1: green and so a lot of things that you're accustomed 831 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,960 Speaker 1: to doing when you're on the road and trying to attack, 832 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:55,600 Speaker 1: you just can't do that with a Coach Belichick coach team. 833 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,399 Speaker 1: And you're gonna have to make sure that you play 834 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,800 Speaker 1: sound fundamental football. They're going to have to eliminate the 835 00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 1: penalties they cannot beat themselves because as you already stated, Craig, 836 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 1: they don't they don't beat themselves. They don't they don't 837 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:11,239 Speaker 1: have those those mental lasses with penalties and things of 838 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 1: that nature. So this is going to be a fight, 839 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 1: and this is going to be one of those games 840 00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,120 Speaker 1: where it comes down to a possession or two, and 841 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,160 Speaker 1: the Cardinals have to be prepared to make those plays 842 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,879 Speaker 1: when those opportunities present themselves. Defensively, they're giving up three 843 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,279 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty eight yards per games, sixteenth overall the 844 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,880 Speaker 1: rush games, they're ranked twenty first one hundred and twenty 845 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,600 Speaker 1: one yards and then about two thirty six in the year. Um, 846 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,840 Speaker 1: you know, I think when you look at it, you know, 847 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:39,759 Speaker 1: I would assume they're going to try to put a 848 00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,680 Speaker 1: spy on Murray to keep him in the pocket. Now 849 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,799 Speaker 1: easier said than done. And then for the Cardinals defensively, 850 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:50,240 Speaker 1: Cam Newton four touchdowns, seven interceptions, He's been sacked fifteen times. 851 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,759 Speaker 1: Remember he missed some time earlier this season because of 852 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,120 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. He has looked good at times and then 853 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 1: again he's struggled at times as well, but certainly be 854 00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 1: trained a very capable quarterback. No. Matter who he's wearing 855 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:07,719 Speaker 1: the uniform of without question, and you just have to 856 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,239 Speaker 1: put respect on his name and know that he's accomplished 857 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 1: a lot already in his career. And it's going to 858 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,359 Speaker 1: be a great challenge, and I think team was looking 859 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 1: forward to it, and you just can't take anything for granted. 860 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,480 Speaker 1: Both teams are going to be looking for a win. 861 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:27,640 Speaker 1: They're coming off tough losses and it's going to be again, 862 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,200 Speaker 1: who makes a least amount of mistakes and who is 863 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:32,560 Speaker 1: able to scold the ball is the team that's going 864 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,359 Speaker 1: to walk out of Gilest Stadium with a much need 865 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:38,520 Speaker 1: to win. Patriots won the most recent matchup in twenty sixteen, 866 00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:42,560 Speaker 1: twenty three, twenty one. We all remember that contest Cardinals 867 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 1: though one at Gillette Stadium back in twenty twelve at 868 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:50,320 Speaker 1: Game twenty to eighteen.
