1 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: Mandatory mini camp. What does it mean? What can we expect? 2 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: What do we hope to see? God Danny Surrek joining 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: me to talk about all of the above. Bird Gang. 4 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: Also we talk offense, an efficient offense, one that's under 5 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 1: pressure to succeed this season, and that's how they want it. 6 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: It's Cardinals Cover two, episode eight ninety one, and it 7 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 1: starts now. 8 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 2: Welcome to Cardinals Cover two. Budda Baker, What Heart? 9 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: What rent? 10 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 2: This guy's unbelievable. Cardinals Cover two is presented by Hyundai, 11 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 2: proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals, and by Arizona Cardinals Podcast. 12 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 2: Visit Azycardinals dot com slash podcast. 13 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: He's at the ten half of five. He's it again? 14 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: Some more hurry magic. 15 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 2: Whow Here's Craig Griolu. 16 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: So it occurred to me as I was getting ready 17 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: for this edition of Cardinals Cover two, presented by Hyundai, 18 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 1: probably partner of the Arizona Cardinals. As we speak, this 19 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: is the final week of players and coaches being in 20 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: the building. Now. I think some rookies might hang on 21 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: a little bit through a couple of weeks towards the 22 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: end of June. But as we embark on mandatory mini camp, Danny, 23 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: this is it until six weeks from now when we 24 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: all reconvene at State Farm Stadium for training camp. Now 25 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: we'll be here. There's plenty of work to be done, 26 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: but as far as coaches in the building, players in 27 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: the building getting ready for the regular season, this is now. 28 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: After this week, this is when they get their break, 29 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: their time away and get to recharge. 30 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 3: You got to do it now because by the time 31 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 3: they come back for training camp, it is full steam ahead. 32 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 3: I mean, that's the point in the off season. People think, oh, 33 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 3: the off season, the dead time must be right when 34 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 3: the season ends. Nope, dead season is in about four days. 35 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think if there's ever a slow time 36 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: National Football League, whether that's Cardinals or league wide, and 37 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: I think it's after Mini camp, that period of time, 38 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: that month month and a half between Mini camp and 39 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: the started training camp. Because other than that, even at 40 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: the quote unquote end of the regular season and postseason, 41 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: there's always well there's a scouting combine, and then there's 42 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: free agency, and then there's the draft and all that 43 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: preparation leading onto those tent pole events. You don't have 44 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: that after you get to mid June, before the end 45 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: of July. 46 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 3: And at this point, if you're a veteran free agent, 47 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 3: there's a good chance you're not getting signed until training camp, 48 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 3: until teams are seeing the players they already have on 49 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 3: their rosters how they look on a football field, or 50 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 3: somebody gets hurt. So yeah, we're about to be in 51 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 3: the true dead season of the offseason. 52 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: It's a good point. Why sign now when there's nothing 53 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: to work on because there's no availability of the building 54 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: or coaches. So yeah, as far as signings to happen, 55 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: unless and hopefully, knock on wood, that doesn't happen with 56 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: the AARs and the Cardinals, the team that we will 57 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: see on the field this week is the team that 58 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: will report to State Farm Stadium. Now we just have 59 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: to wait and see. Now, I do think and this 60 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: is good news Cardinal fans, that this should be these 61 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: next three days Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mandatory mini camp. 62 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: The only difference is that it's mandatory. The difference between 63 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: mini camp and OTAs is that it's mandatory. You're still 64 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: can have contact, you're not in pads. You can do 65 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: eleven on eleven, but no one on ones. But I 66 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: do believe that these three days should be controversy free. 67 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: No one's holding out, no one's got big time injuries 68 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: that are the real or not real because they need 69 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: a contractor would hope to get a contract. But I 70 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: think for the most part, it's pretty easy to see 71 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: what the news should be and it should be all 72 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: on the field. 73 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 3: As a boes off, Yeah, I mean, and then that's 74 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 3: just how the Cardinals are set up right now in 75 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 3: the off season. Not to say every other team is 76 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 3: going to find themselves in that positions, but the Cardinals 77 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 3: don't have any players that are currently waiting for a 78 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 3: new contract, extension or a whole new contract altogether. Given 79 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 3: the voluntary attendance throughout OTA's the last two weeks, there's 80 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 3: really not a lot of big names that you're not 81 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 3: expecting to see at mandatory mini camp. So we'll see. 82 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 3: That is the first thing you're gonna do. If you're 83 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 3: going to talk about the differences as watching practice, that's 84 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 3: the first thing you do is you're going to take 85 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 3: attendance and you're going to look and see who was 86 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 3: not here at mini camp or at OTAs rather, and 87 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 3: who's here at mini camp, and if someone's not there 88 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 3: a mini camp. That's when you're your start to burk up, right, 89 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 3: you're starting to wonder okay. And the questions will be 90 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 3: to head coach Jonathan Gannon, who will speak all three 91 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 3: days of mini camp this week, is why is this 92 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 3: person not here? Are they hurt? Were you aware they 93 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 3: weren't going to be here, and what's the plan moving forward? 94 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: And if they're hurt or they're coming off of an injury, 95 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: are they working out inside as opposed to outside where 96 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: we are watching practice, because that's also a possibility. Yes, 97 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: they're here, we just might not see them. And that's 98 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: probably been the case for a handful of the vets 99 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: that were mia during OTAs. You were here during OTAs. 100 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: I made a very clear last time I was on 101 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 1: this show with Darren last week that I put the 102 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: voluntary into voluntary otis and left for a week and 103 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: a half. So I am reporting from mandatory mini camp. 104 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: I just was not here for the two open OTAs. 105 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 3: And the first thing you're gonna look at is, even 106 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 3: if players are here, is what does a player like 107 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 3: Bijo Jelari look like one Is he out on the 108 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 3: field participating in two? Is he a full participant to 109 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 3: the level that these players can at this point in 110 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 3: the offseason. Somebody who training camp last year had a 111 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 3: season ending knee injury, and if he's not out there, 112 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 3: the question is, okay, where is he at in his 113 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 3: rehab process? 114 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: Right? 115 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 3: Jonah Williams the first week of OTAs, was working out 116 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 3: on the side, was participating the second week of OTAs. 117 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 3: Where is he in mini camp? 118 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: Right? 119 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 3: Are we going to see back to back weeks? These 120 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 3: are the type of questions Ballall Nichols, the defensive lineman, 121 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 3: we didn't see out there during OTAs. He was still 122 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 3: working off on the side during the open portion of 123 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 3: practice that I was out there that first week. Where 124 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 3: is his level of participation? That's kind of what you're 125 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 3: keeping an eye on, And it's not necessarily something to 126 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 3: get concerned about. It's just now it's an appropriate time 127 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 3: to ask the questions of where are they at in 128 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 3: their rehab process? 129 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: And those are the two names that I wrote down 130 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: as far as right are they out there? If they're not? Okay? 131 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: What's there where they are in their rehab Because to 132 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: my knowledge, and you can correct me if I'm wrong, 133 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: those are the only two names as far as players 134 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: who are coming off of injury that we have not 135 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: seen at least participates or work out on the side. 136 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: Correct it's been Bjo Juli and Belall Nichols. Justin Jones 137 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: was out there, which is a good sign because I 138 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: think Justin Jones and Bla Nichols are very interesting pieces 139 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: to this puzzle. Because a year ago at this time, 140 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: what was the talk of the defense additions to the 141 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: D line? Justin Jones, Bolon Nichols, guys who were you 142 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: could count on, who are consistent, they were healthy, and 143 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden both get hurt and you 144 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: don't see him and it's out of side, out of mind, 145 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, since then, a number of 146 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: new faces have been added to that D line. So 147 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: where do Jones and Nichols fit within that defensive front? 148 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: And it makes it even harder to figure it out 149 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: if they're not even participating. 150 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 3: Absolutely, yeah, you put on the nose. How are you 151 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 3: to know what you have if they're not out there 152 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 3: participating and you don't want to rush your recovery. But 153 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 3: it was good to see that Jones was back out 154 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 3: there during OTAs and able to work out with the 155 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 3: team after having that season any triceps injury. 156 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: Three veterans that are healthy that we have not seen, 157 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,239 Speaker 1: fairly confident that we will see this week Kalais Campbell, 158 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: Dalvin Tomlinson and Josh What And as we peel the 159 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: curtain back a little bit here on Cardinals cover two 160 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: Monday Content Gathering Day, Media Day, I could safely say 161 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: I saw all three of those in Cardinals uniforms going 162 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: through station to station to station. So they are here. 163 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: And I guess, Danny, if you're here on Monday, you're 164 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: going to be here Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. You're not 165 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: just going to show up for a photo shoot and 166 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: then disappear. So and again, you're talking about three players 167 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: who've been in the league. They're veterans. They know what 168 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: the offseason is all about. And the example of them 169 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: being here on the field, not just in the locker 170 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: room and out of sight from the media, I think 171 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: it does. It does mean something to have them in 172 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: the building at least for only a week if that's 173 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: all they've been here. 174 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, but you're leaving out the most meaningful part is 175 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 3: why they're going to be their Tuesday crag. They've been paid. 176 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 3: That's what this all stems from if a player is 177 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 3: not at Mini camp, it has something to do more 178 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 3: times than not with money. While all that is great 179 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 3: to have a veteran here and you want to get 180 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 3: them caught up to speed and you want to get 181 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 3: that chemistry and that camaraderie going. Absolutely that's all still important, 182 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 3: but the players have been paid, right, so it's definitely 183 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 3: something to keep in mind of, Oh my gosh, great, 184 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 3: this new veteran is here this week at Mini camp. 185 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 3: They must really care about getting acclimated. Well, yes, to 186 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 3: a certain extent here because they got paid. That's really 187 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 3: what it boils down to for people who show up 188 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 3: in Nolt Trump to Manicanop and it. 189 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: Just seems to me so easy, especially if you live 190 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: here in Arizona. If you don't live here, I know, 191 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 1: I get it. But at the same time, to your point, Danny, 192 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: if you don't show up, there are consequences, meaning you 193 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 1: lose money, and it's money that you cannot recoup and 194 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: so fines build. But again, those are twenty nine, those 195 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,719 Speaker 1: are thirty one. Excuse me, there are thirty one other 196 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: teams that are dealing that. With that potentially, I just 197 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: don't see that with the Arizona Cardinals, given how Manti 198 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 1: Austin Ford in this front office have constructed this team 199 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: through now three off seasons and making sure that those 200 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: players that they want here have been taken care of, 201 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 1: either with a contract extension and that something that has 202 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: been dragged out if you. 203 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 3: Will, Yeah, absolutely, they've put themselves a knight's position of 204 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 3: making sure financially that players are set and ready to 205 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 3: go and bring in the right type of players that 206 00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 3: want to be here, to make sure that everybody's getting 207 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 3: on this page. I expected to see everybody out there 208 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 3: on Tuesday. 209 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 1: Case in point, if a contract extension had not been 210 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: worked out with Trey McBride, would he show up. That's 211 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: I think what we're getting at, because now all of 212 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: a sudden, it's you don't want to cost yourself, you 213 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: don't want to get hurt even though you're not going 214 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: full speed, and then all of a sudden that hurts 215 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: your future earnings. But again, that was taking care of 216 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: well in advance of mandatory mini camp, and again that's 217 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: the benefit of the team getting it done early, setting 218 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 1: the market and then seeing George Kittle reset the market, 219 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: and then for the player knowing that it's off my shoulders, 220 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: I can strictly talk about football. 221 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, one less thing to worry about. 222 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: Speaking of the offense, and Trey McBride comments the last 223 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: two weeks when we've had a chance to hear from 224 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: Drew Petsing McBride and James Connor, the offense is running 225 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: the back. The only new addition to that starting line 226 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: as we speak here is your starting right guard. Now 227 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: we'll have to see if that changes between now and 228 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: August and September, if Will Hernandez somehow is brought back. 229 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: But that is the only change to this starting offense 230 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 1: unless because you're looking at me. 231 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 3: Like am Adams, I'm talking talking as your right guard. 232 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 1: No, that's what I mean. That's the only difference from. 233 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 3: Week one because Isaiah Adams has a ton of chemistry. 234 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: I was talking about who was penciled in week one 235 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 1: and now penciled in week one this year, because if 236 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: you're looking at last year in Buffalo, it's will Hernandez. 237 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: So that's that would be the only difference as far 238 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 1: as going into twenty twenty four versus going into twenty twenty. 239 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 3: Five kind of, I mean, Isaiah will Hernandez got hurt 240 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 3: early in the season, right like Week four San Francisco. 241 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 3: So then you started rotating Isaiah Adams in So yes, 242 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 3: on a technicality, that is the only difference from your 243 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 3: starting lineup from week one twenty twenty four season to 244 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 3: where you are expecting your starting lineup to be where 245 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 3: things stand right now in twenty twenty five. At the 246 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 3: same time, the change in right guard is somebody who 247 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 3: spent more than half the season getting snaps there. So 248 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 3: it's it's yes and no. Like yes on a technicality, 249 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 3: that is true that the starting lineup is different, but 250 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 3: Adams has a ton of experience. It doesn't necessarily mean 251 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 3: there is in competition for depth at right guard as 252 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 3: somebody going into their second year in the league. But 253 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 3: that consistency there still transfers over that still means something 254 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 3: to the offensive line. 255 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: And I'm glad you said that because it's it's not 256 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: a new name that's coming in that's different from last season. 257 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: It's a good point. It's the difference is that one snap, 258 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: that first snap in Buffalo. But to your point, and again, 259 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought it up, because it's not like 260 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: there's a fresh face potentially at right guard. It's someone 261 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: that's been there. 262 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,239 Speaker 3: I get the point you're making of you kept consistency 263 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 3: here for a reason for this offense, because this coaching staff, 264 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 3: in this front office believes in the players that they 265 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 3: have across the board on that side of the ball. 266 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 3: Now is the time to step up. Okay, they have 267 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,959 Speaker 3: proven their confidence and your ability as individuals and as 268 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,599 Speaker 3: a group. So you need to go out there and 269 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 3: needed to make a difference. They have beefed up this 270 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 3: defense really in the trenches, that defensive line, to keep 271 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 3: your quarterback on the field longer. You have paid your 272 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 3: tight end. You have your number one wide receiver who's 273 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 3: been making gains physically and you know in his physical 274 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 3: game right out on the field going into year two. 275 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,839 Speaker 3: So you have the pieces that you need. You now 276 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 3: have to go out there and you have to be 277 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 3: more consistent and you have to win more games. 278 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: More efficient. That's the phrase that JG used when he 279 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: was asked about It was specifically about Kyler Murray, but 280 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 1: then he turned it into a larger conversation about the 281 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: offense overall. Be more efficient. Now, what does that mean? 282 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: This offense was twelfth in scoring, seventeenth in the red zone. 283 00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: Be more efficient? Means obviously score more points, but be 284 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: better when you have possession of the football, you get 285 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: into that red zone, Danny, you score touchdowns, you don't 286 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: settle for field goals. And yes, it's okay to punt sometimes, 287 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 1: but if you are an efficient offense, you are not 288 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: putting your defense at a disadvantage. Yeah, it's gonna happen, 289 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: but to me, being more efficient means obviously score more points, 290 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: keep possession of the football. Now it just becomes all right, 291 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: how are you more efficient? Does it look any difference 292 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: because this offense is being run back or there're gonna 293 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: be some tweaks or I mean Trey McBride brought it up. 294 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: He said, it's quote definitely a lot more complex. Now 295 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: what does that mean again to the eye test versus 296 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: what they are running and the different concepts and maybe 297 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: it does look somewhat different, but maybe not radically different 298 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: in our eyes versus what they're being asked to do 299 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: on the field. Talking about the. 300 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 3: Players, that's what I want to hear McBride talking about. 301 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 3: They're working on having more restap motions and adding in 302 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 3: a few differences in the offense because now you can 303 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 3: you're going to year through with this coaching staff, with 304 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 3: this offensive Cooridnat or Drew Petsing who was also the 305 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 3: play caller year three for a lot of these players, Right, 306 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 3: you have that continuity not just within themselves as players, 307 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 3: also with the coaching staff and the play caller. Would 308 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 3: it makes sense to have things feel different this point 309 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 3: in the offseason than they did this time last year. Right, 310 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 3: you should be adding new things to the offense and 311 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 3: becoming less predictable, right, and giving yourself more of an 312 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 3: advantage against these defenses. When you're talking about efficiency, the 313 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 3: first thing that comes to my mind is ball security. 314 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 3: The amount of times the Cardinals fumble the ball. Now 315 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 3: they might not have lost possession, but they had a 316 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 3: hard time with protecting the ball last season. Interceptions, especially 317 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 3: late the season, we're a problem. So when you're talking 318 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 3: about efficiency, it's not just putting more points on the board, 319 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 3: it's taking advantage when you have the ball in your 320 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 3: hands regardless, and don't put yourself in a position or 321 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 3: you are getting in your own way. And there are 322 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 3: gonna be games where you're gonna have to rely on 323 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 3: the run a little bit more games we're gonna have 324 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 3: to rely on the pass. A little bit more. The 325 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 3: run game was consistent, you could rely on that. Last 326 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 3: year for this team. Couldn't say the same about the 327 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 3: passing game. It was just too inconsistent and how it flowed. 328 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 3: And so when you're talking about efficiency, what comes to 329 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 3: my mind with the offense is ball security and more 330 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 3: consistency and being a threat in the passing game. 331 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: All right, let's take these two points. First, the more 332 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: efficiency as far as taking care of the football, because 333 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: towards the end of last season, you were keeping track 334 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: and I don't remember the stat off the top of 335 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: my head, but how many games in which the Cardinals 336 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: had the ball on the ground meaning not a drop, 337 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: but and you brought up fumbles Whether there's lost fumble, 338 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: there's fumbles, then there's lost fumbles. I mean, Kyleer Murray 339 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: had a number of fumbles, but he maintained possession of 340 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: the football. But what that means is instead of first 341 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: and ten, now you're looking at second and thirteen. So 342 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: more efficiency is less negative plays, and ball security falls 343 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: into that, as does pre snap penalties. When all of 344 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: a sudden, you're facing a first and ten, All of 345 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 1: a sudden, it's a first and twenty and you're playing 346 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: from behind the sticks, looking. 347 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 3: At the numbers. Right now, there was not a single 348 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 3: game in which the ball did not touch the ground 349 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 3: or get intercepted. 350 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: Right now. That's now Again, that's you say that out loud. 351 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,400 Speaker 1: Now again, that's not a. 352 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 3: Lost, not necessarily right. And there's some games where it 353 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,719 Speaker 3: was one interception, you didn't fumble the ball. But every 354 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,919 Speaker 3: game last season, at some point the ball hit the 355 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 3: ground or it went into a defender's hands. 356 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,439 Speaker 1: And that that makes it so much more difficult for 357 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: an offense, for a team, And all of a sudden 358 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: you look back at okay, well what separated the Cardinals 359 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: from the postseason? How do you get from eight wins 360 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 1: to nine to ten to eleven? Well, you maintain possession 361 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: of the football. You don't lose the ball, yes, but 362 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: you don't fumble a snap and fall on a maintain possession. 363 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: But again, now you've just wasted a down. And the 364 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 1: more plays you run offensively on one particular drive, that 365 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: leads to more mistakes. And again that word more efficient, 366 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,199 Speaker 1: and how do you define that efficiency? It's not just 367 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: about the point scoring, but can you keep moving forward 368 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 1: as opposed to taking two steps forward? One step back 369 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden like, okay, well this is 370 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: taking forever and you can't do that to be successful 371 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: on a scoring drive when you want it to be five, six, seven, 372 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: eight plays versus nine, ten, eleven, and twelve. 373 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 3: Just you have to be better with the ball in 374 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 3: your hands whoever that is on offense, and you can't 375 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 3: fall behind the stix because then you're under pressure and 376 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 3: you are trying to force things. So it all is 377 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 3: all encompassing. However, ball security has to be one of 378 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 3: the things high on the list for this offense to 379 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 3: really improve on this season. Again when you have this 380 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 3: continuity as well, like there are no. 381 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: Excuses differences on how it might look like when Trey 382 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: brings up a little bit more motion pre snap motion? 383 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: Is that Marvin Harrison motioning across the line of scrimmage, 384 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: which we did not see a whole heck of a 385 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 1: lot of last season. I believe the stat was from 386 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:21,479 Speaker 1: ESPN with there were seven seven total snaps all season 387 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: into which Marvin went in motion before the ball was snapped. 388 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: Does that change? Does that mean Trey McBride lines up 389 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: a little bit more as an outside threat as a 390 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: wide receiver? Does James Connor motion out of the backfield. 391 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: Do we see both James and Trey Benson in the 392 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,239 Speaker 1: backfield a little bit more of a dual threat as 393 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: far as the run game is concerned. And then all right, 394 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: well who steps up to be that other wide receiver, 395 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: Michael Wilson, Zay Jones, Greg Dortch, Xavier Weaver, whomever it is, 396 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 1: because that factors into this as well. Can you be 397 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 1: a little litle bit more efficient in that area with 398 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: that wide receiver. 399 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 3: I'll be curious to see the differences and how Benson 400 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 3: and Harrison are you specifically at those players you were 401 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 3: mentioning going into year two. When Harrison was speaking with 402 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 3: the media a couple of weeks ago, the first week 403 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 3: of OTAs, he was talking about how the game he 404 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 3: can already feel is slowing down for him, and that 405 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 3: is a rookie. It was a lot of I just 406 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 3: need to focus on getting from point A to point 407 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 3: B and doing my job. And now going into year two, 408 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 3: it's already becoming more of let me look at the 409 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 3: big picture when talking about my route or my footwork 410 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 3: and my timing. It's not just about me. What is 411 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 3: the quarterback also looking at and thinking through what are 412 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 3: the other players around me doing? And also what is 413 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 3: the defender showing me? So it's now becoming less about 414 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 3: I just need to get from point A to point 415 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 3: B and only focus on what I can do. And 416 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 3: now it's okay, let me look at all the other 417 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 3: pieces around me and how I can use my skill 418 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 3: set to my advantage and get from point A to 419 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 3: point B. But do so maybe a little more savvy 420 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 3: and win some more contested catches, right like things are 421 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 3: going to change from year one to year two for 422 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 3: the receiver, And how does that also change for Benson 423 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 3: out of the backfield and his skill level, and how 424 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 3: is he going to be used with Connor now that 425 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 3: he is more comfortable. I don't foresee this as a 426 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 3: true fifty to fifty split. However, are they going to 427 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 3: be able to utilize Benson a little bit more and 428 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 3: preserve Connor's health? The question of wide receiver two is 429 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 3: an interesting one because you need somebody who can go 430 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 3: out there and draw a defender's attention. You don't just 431 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 3: want somebody out there and say, okay, well, we're still 432 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 3: mostly just going to keep our eyes on Harrison and McBride. 433 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 3: You need somebody out there, and now is the time 434 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 3: for Michael Wilson going into year three to step up 435 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 3: and prove that he can do that on a consistent level. 436 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: The Marvin conversation is a fascinating one because listening to 437 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: him talk about what he now sees defensively becomes almost 438 00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: more of a mental game for him. The physical traits, yes, 439 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: and knowing what the play call is, yes, he's got 440 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,959 Speaker 1: that down pat but if you're lined up and all 441 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: of a sudden you see something differently knowing that all right, 442 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: well a year ago my rookie year was like, didn't matter, 443 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: I just need to go straight ahead. But now based 444 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: off what the corner is showing me, or I see 445 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 1: the safety or the linebackers shade over, I know now 446 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: I can cut inside because Kyler knows that's where I'm going. 447 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,919 Speaker 1: And there's not that miscommunication. There's not that what fifty 448 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: three percent target rate, it jumps up to sixty five, 449 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: maybe even higher than that, because now both quarterback and 450 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: wide receiver are on the same page. It's an unspoken 451 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: communication because of now, all of a sudden, the wide 452 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 1: receiver and Marvin being more familiar and a little bit smarter, 453 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: the football IQ is a little bit higher. 454 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 3: That's why it makes sense that we didn't see a 455 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 3: ton of pre snap motion last year. Is think of 456 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 3: everything he was having to go through as a rookie, 457 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 3: and he was automatically deserving so getting attention from defenders. 458 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 3: So now that he is more comfortable and what his 459 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 3: individual role is and what the offense as a whole 460 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 3: is doing on every single play, not just him, that's 461 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 3: going to allow him to be able to move around 462 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 3: pre snap and create some different looks for the defense 463 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 3: and still be able to know what he's doing and 464 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 3: get from point A to point B in a reliable 465 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 3: sense for his quarterback. 466 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: The other aspect you brought it up, James Connor Trey Benson. No, 467 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: it's not a fifty to fifty split. James Connor is 468 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 1: RB one and Trey will get as many snaps reps 469 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: as he can and do whatever he can with those. 470 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 1: Do we see more of Trey Benson earlier in games 471 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: to keep James fresher? Do we see Trey Benson more 472 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: early in the season to keep James Connor? That to 473 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 1: me becomes almost Okay, Well, you can't really plan on 474 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: that because if you're the head coach, the play caller, 475 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: the players on the field. You're doing whatever it takes 476 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: to win that particular sunday, not paying attention to what 477 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: happens six weeks, seven weeks from now, because seven weeks 478 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: from now might not mean as much if you don't 479 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: take care of what's happening this particular Sunday. 480 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 3: I can't foresee any situation in which a coach on 481 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 3: this staff is going to James Connor and saying, hey, 482 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 3: we're actually gonna cut back some of your carries in 483 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 3: the first three week. This is somebody who will admit 484 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 3: he gets better the more he gets tackled, the more 485 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 3: touches he gets not just carrying the ball but from defenders, 486 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 3: the better he gets throughout a game. So I think 487 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 3: earlier in the season we will see Benson more often. 488 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 3: I don't know about earlier in games, just because every 489 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 3: single game last year it was Connor who was setting 490 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 3: the tone. That was how this offense really got rolling. 491 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 3: And if that's what's worked, which it did, I can't 492 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 3: imagine them trying to reinvent the wheel with someone who 493 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 3: is a similar runner to Connor. I just think it's 494 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 3: going to be we're gonna see Benson mixed in a 495 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 3: little bit more. Again, the mental side of not being 496 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 3: a rookie anymore and understanding and what your role is 497 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 3: and where your options are, where you can go. That's 498 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 3: going to allow Benson to be able to have more 499 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 3: time on the playing field because the coaching staff is gonna. 500 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: Trust him earlier, tell JC that we're gonna sit you 501 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 1: out a little bit here on this particular drive. Now, 502 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 1: I've seen that a couple of times, but that's only 503 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: because James has had like ten twelve straight carries all 504 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: of a sudden you need a breather, and okay, you 505 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: take a series off. But yeah, it's I think maybe 506 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,919 Speaker 1: more so, maybe we do see more two back sets, 507 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 1: just to get them both on the football field, because 508 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard to keep six on this sideline. 509 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,959 Speaker 1: They'll all say this, watching James Connor as a spectator 510 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 1: and then seeing Trey Benson do something, well, James is 511 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 1: the first guy up to congratulate. I mean, that's that's 512 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: the relationship that those two have, which is great because 513 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: it beats the alternative where you feel threatened if you're 514 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: James Connor because you invested a Day two pick and 515 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Oh, I see my playing mortality 516 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 1: ahead of me, And all of a sudden, there's that 517 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: tap on the shoulder and like, okay, here comes Trade 518 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 1: Benson and I'm out the door. Now that's not the 519 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: case here, but it is a good problem to have 520 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 1: when you have two backs, one a veteran. You know 521 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: what you're getting out of and you've seen flashes in 522 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: Trey Benson. 523 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 3: Well. Also, I mean just look look at the position 524 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 3: as a whole around the league. It's no seekert. That 525 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 3: is a tough position as a player to stay fully 526 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 3: healthy the entire year. So it really only benefits Connor 527 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 3: if Benson is growing and getting better every single day, 528 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,959 Speaker 3: which is only going to be easier for Benson if 529 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 3: he has Connor's support and he has that knowledge and 530 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 3: advice coming in. Because the more that Benson could do again, 531 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 3: the healthier Connor is going to continue to be, and 532 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 3: the less of a drop off there is going to 533 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 3: be if Connor's not on the field for that offense. 534 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: I thought James said something great when he addressed the 535 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: media during OTAs because he was asked about this particular 536 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: thing as far as the offense being run back as 537 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: far as the continuity, the number of players who are 538 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 1: returning and the familiarity within this offense, and does that 539 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: mean something to those guys in the room. Is there 540 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: more pressure on you guys because there's not a There 541 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: wasn't an overhaul like there was defensively, so there might 542 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: be a little bit more of a little bit more 543 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 1: of a rope for the defense because they're still trying 544 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: to figure things out. For the offense. You should be 545 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: coming out of the gate on fire. That's that's day one, 546 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: week one, And James said, quote, it's up to us 547 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 1: to own up to that responsibility and understand it. And 548 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: he mentioned that pressure is good for us. And I 549 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: do think and we'll probably have this conversation several times, 550 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: but if you talk about which side of the ball 551 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 1: has more pressure on them going into year one, it's 552 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: easy to say, well, the defense because of the different changes. Well, 553 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the offense and leaning more on the 554 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 1: offense to score more points, to be ahead of the defense, 555 00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 1: just because as we've been talking about, nothing's changed. All 556 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: you've done is tweaked some things with the same personnel 557 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: because all your major players are still here. 558 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 3: One hundred percent the rope is shorter for the offense 559 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 3: because from the top down it has been very well. 560 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 3: It has been made very clear these are the pieces 561 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 3: they believe can help them win games, and they've brought 562 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 3: in those pieces on defense, and it is going to 563 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 3: take a little bit of time as you get through 564 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,120 Speaker 3: a couple games of the season of figuring out how 565 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 3: do you want to utilize players and what kind of 566 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 3: schemes you want to use in all of those things. 567 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 3: You already know that with this offense. Now there's still 568 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 3: going to be competition when you're talking about depth. There 569 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 3: may be at this wide receivers two or three spot 570 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 3: that we've been talking about, but for the most part, 571 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 3: you know what you have and they clearly like what 572 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 3: they have in the players here, so you need to 573 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 3: step up again. There's no excuse. Everybody has had multiple 574 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 3: offseasons now working together. They've had multiple seasons with this 575 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 3: coaching staff, multiple seasons with the play caller. The time 576 00:28:58,760 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 3: is now. 577 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: The one major change offensively free agency with cha Kobe Prissett, 578 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: and that's your backup quarterback, someone you hope to never 579 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: see on the field at all this season. That's the 580 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: only significance and it's hardly significant if he's not going 581 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: to play. But that was maybe the only quote unquote 582 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: upgrade offensively was trying to figure out, right, something happens 583 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: to Kyler, how are we? How prepared are we to 584 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:35,719 Speaker 1: handle those couple of weeks series? And again, maybe it 585 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: never happens, but at least you've got a solid plan. B. 586 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, you need to be prepared. That is a position 587 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 3: that you don't really want to think about because that's 588 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 3: kind of worst case scenario. But if you think about 589 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 3: it and you plan for it, it doesn't necessarily become 590 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,959 Speaker 3: a worst case scenario. It's just another wrinkle for you. 591 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 3: That's not to say that Brissette is going to go 592 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 3: out and be the exact type of player that Kyler 593 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 3: Murray is. Any means you don't want to have a 594 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 3: drop off. You want to have somebody who can go 595 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 3: in with command and have the football IQ and the 596 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,239 Speaker 3: skill set and the accuracy and the power and all 597 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 3: those things, so you're not having to drop off with 598 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 3: the offense. And the only other change would be your 599 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 3: offensive line coach. Because of Clayton Adam went to Dallas 600 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 3: to become the offensive coordinator, and so now you've got 601 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 3: justin Frye, it's a good point. 602 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: I had not thought about that. And it's a different 603 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: voice in the room. How much does that look differently? 604 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: And you get the same five guys, You got continuity 605 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: along that offensive line, but could there be some tweaks? 606 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: And again to just the eye that we have from Afar, 607 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: maybe we don't notice anything. But is the footwork a 608 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: little bit different? Is a hand placemant a little bit different? 609 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: Are your blocking schemes a little bit different? Bottom line? 610 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: All the fans care about and you and I when 611 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: we talk about what happened on Sunday is all right? 612 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: What was the yardage total? Did they ultimate is? Did 613 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: they win the game? And don't care how it looked? 614 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: Did you get the but a different voice in that room? 615 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: How much is it going to matter to us compared 616 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: to what matters a great deal in that locker room. 617 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 3: We'll get a better look at training camp in a 618 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 3: couple of weeks and we can really start to see 619 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 3: some contact and you can see offensive linemen and defensive 620 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 3: lineman going up against each other. Get a better feel 621 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,719 Speaker 3: for maybe what this coaching staff is leaning towards in 622 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 3: terms of combinations. Although offensive line doesn't seem like it's 623 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 3: really going to change much from what we're expecting, but 624 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 3: something to keep an eye on. 625 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: And we talk all about this going into mandatory Mini Camp, 626 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: yet at the same time, Wor'll only be out there, 627 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: We'll be out there for the duration, but only the 628 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: first twenty minutes or twenty five minutes is open to 629 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: be reported upon. So again, all that stuff that we 630 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 1: hope to see or would like to see, we might 631 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: see just can't discuss it until we get to July, 632 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: late July, early August, and now all of a sudden, 633 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: it's open in front of everyone. But I do think 634 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: we'll get a sense of where things are trending, and 635 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: then we'll see if it holds up during that six 636 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: weeks before or until we get to training camp. 637 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 3: And I don't expect to see a lot of surprises 638 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 3: offensively during that. 639 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 1: Period during mandatory Mini Camp. 640 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, and even those first couple of weeks of training 641 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 3: camp for all the reasons we've set right like, I 642 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 3: don't expect to see a lot of surprises in terms 643 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 3: of what things are leaning towards. For your Week one 644 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 3: starting lineup, Greg Dortsch. 645 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: In the backfield, all of a sudden on Wednesday afternoon. 646 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 3: You know what, Craig, if I had a dollar for 647 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 3: every time we have hyped up Greg Dorts throughout the 648 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 3: off season and training camp and then for whatever reason 649 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 3: he is not a key player for the first ten 650 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 3: games of the season, what is this my favorit? I'd 651 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 3: have four dollars for all four seasons. 652 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: It's an interesting player to keep an eye on. And 653 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 1: could it be this season. 654 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 3: For great Maybe that's wide receiver through it. Maybe that's 655 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 3: maybe answer to our question. 656 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: And that's why at least there's a confidence level amongst 657 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: the front office and coaches in him now because they 658 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: didn't go out and get that. 659 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 3: They continue to bring it back for a reason. 660 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: So get your sunscreen ready for these three days. Although 661 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: it is they say the afternoon, it's it's it's late morning. 662 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 3: When and I work on screen every day.
