10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 4: Here we go one.

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 3: Hand to catch it a touchdown?

12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 4: Oh baby, I'm that fail.

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: Here's Craig Brielud, Paul Calvic, and nine year NFL veteran

14
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: Rob Frederickson.

15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 5: So today can either be a great day or your

16
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 5: worst day or yes there's a third option, just a

17
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 5: bump in the road you try to become an NFL players,

18
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 5: We say welcome on this deadline Tuesday, one pm. All

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 5: NFL teams must have a roster that is no more

20
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 5: than fifty three players. And this is a day that

21
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 5: again dreams are made, rob or dreams are crushed. And

22
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 5: then there are those players that get released, slide through

23
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 5: waivers and find their way back onto a practice squad

24
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 5: and then potentially to the fifty three man roster at

25
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 5: some point during their career.

26
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it's a tough day for some guys

27
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 6: and it's a great day for others. It's a life

28
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 6: changing day for some. And so, you know, inside the

29
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 6: locker room on a daylight today, it's the mood is

30
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 6: generally kind of subdued, a low level in terms of excitement,

31
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 6: and guys aren't hooting and hollering. It's it's kind of

32
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 6: respect for everyone that's kind of going through this situation.

33
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 6: And you know, you hope the best for for the

34
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 6: guys that are released. You hope they get on with

35
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 6: another team and maybe even get onto the practice squad

36
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 6: for the Arizona Cardinals and have an impact in that way.

37
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 6: But it's certainly a weird day for for for the players,

38
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 6: for for the coaching staff, for the front office, and

39
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 6: it's it's, you know, it's it needs to be handled

40
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 6: with the with the care.

41
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 2: Our flag at Calvisi Consulting is flying half staff already. Reportedly,

42
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: Marquis Hayes, big mole, big no, come on, no mo

43
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: Marquis Hayes as uh, he's been released reportedly, and so, uh,

44
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 2: you know, we never really even actually talked to him.

45
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 2: We just admired him from Afar. You never want to

46
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: actually meet your hero I was gonna say, don't. You

47
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: don't want to meet your heroes. And Marquis Hayes, you know,

48
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: every rep was half football, half usc UFC that is,

49
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: and he was just like man just watching him.

50
00:02:59,000 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 7: Uh.

51
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: You talk about the fight for fifty three. He put

52
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: the fight into it all right, and unfortunately apparently he lost.

53
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: We'll see if he ends up on the practice squad.

54
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: But it's tough. It's stuff deal there. And not going

55
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: to say I'm totally surprised in that the second and

56
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: third team all line didn't fare all that well in

57
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: the preseason games. Let's keep it real, and so I

58
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 2: think they're looking perhaps outside the organization more than any

59
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: other position group. What else is out there in terms

60
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: of backup offensive lineman. I'm real curious to see where

61
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 2: this one ends up, not only after final cuts, but

62
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: after they go through all the waiver claims. SCUZ Cardinals

63
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: are picking forth.

64
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 5: Half a dozen players officially released on Monday, a handful

65
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 5: more already on this Tuesday, according to reports, including Paul's

66
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 5: guy Marquise Hayes and also quarterback Desmond Ritter, which we

67
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 5: can talk about. And then there was the reported trade

68
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 5: of Cameron Thomas to the Kansas City Chiefs for a

69
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 5: seventh round pick. So this again a lot of things

70
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 5: so potentially could be happening here over the next hour

71
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 5: on the Cardinals Red Sea Report. We'll do our best

72
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 5: to keep everyone up to date, but typically the Cardinals

73
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 5: don't make their roster moves official until later in the afternoon.

74
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 5: But if something does cross the wire or social media,

75
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 5: will make sure we get out that information. But let's

76
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 5: just kind of go big picture here, Robin. The preseason

77
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 5: overall three games, the final one on Sunday, Cardinals lose

78
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 5: in Denver, falling into the Broncos by the score of

79
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 5: thirty eight to twelve. But overall those three preseason games,

80
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 5: and then what you've seen and what you've heard, how

81
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 5: do you think record aside because the Cardinals didn't win

82
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 5: a game, but how this team performed knowing that there

83
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 5: wasn't a single starter outside of Marvin Harrison Junior for

84
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 5: three snaps on offense, and then maybe Roy Lopez and

85
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 5: Starling Thomas on defense that saw any preseason action.

86
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's hard to kind of get a gauge on

87
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 6: what this team is going to look like when the

88
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 6: starters don't play in the preseason. But you know, given

89
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 6: given that and just the players that did play, because

90
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 6: that's really all we can look to and all we

91
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 6: can evaluate. There was some some guys that really popped,

92
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 6: some guys that flashed. In terms of the rookies, I thought,

93
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 6: you know, number one, top of the list, Xavier Thomas.

94
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 6: He really flashed in terms of just his pass rushing

95
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 6: ability in a position group that was really thought to

96
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 6: be one that is, you know, kind of lacking in

97
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 6: terms of production, he could very well be the most

98
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 6: natural and the best fit in terms of producing and

99
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 6: creating some disruption from the edge. So you know, I

100
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 6: thought his individual performance in the preseason was certainly one

101
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 6: that's noteworthy. And then you know Trey Benson. I think

102
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 6: he really came on in the second preseason game and

103
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 6: really looked comfortable and and explosive. He did a good

104
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 6: job in that second preseason game. He didn't didn't see him,

105
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 6: uh this has preseason game, but I think he did

106
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 6: enough to to really solidify that number two running back position,

107
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 6: and then you know when you look at wide receiver,

108
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 6: you know just what Xavier Weaver did I think in

109
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 6: the preseason is something of note. And you know, given

110
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 6: the given the suspension of Zay, you know you got

111
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 6: to look at that and say, you know, he's he's

112
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 6: got himself an inside track of being in this fifty

113
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 6: three man roster.

114
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 5: I'd i'd had Rabbit as well as far as part

115
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 5: of that rookie class that certainly is gonna have an impact,

116
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 5: have a role this season.

117
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 2: I mean, you have a twelve player draft class plus

118
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 2: Xavier Weavers, so really it's a Baker's dozen, and you're thinking,

119
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: if if, if you can get a mediate return on

120
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: half those guys, you're winning historically in the NFL, and

121
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 2: it's a lot more than half. Marvion Aarrison Junior, Daris

122
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: Robinson when he's healthy. In order, Max Melton is pushing

123
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 2: Starling Thomas the moment, Starling Thomas Felters. Here's Max Melton,

124
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 2: the round two kid, Trey Benson. I think it'll be

125
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: Thunder and Thunder James Connor and Trey Benson this year.

126
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: Tip Ryman absolutely and twelve and thirteen personnel who wants them,

127
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: and then you got rabid Xavier Thomas might be your

128
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 2: premier edge rusher on third and long on third and

129
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 2: obvious passing situations, a sub package. And then you get

130
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: down to Xavier Weaver, who I think is gonna have

131
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: a role on game day, albeit perhaps the return game

132
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: to start, but right now, I'd say he's wide receiver. Five.

133
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 5: So twelve rookies as far as the draft class and

134
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 5: Xavier Weaver to your point, Paul one of those undrafted

135
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 5: rookie free agents overall. Jonathan Gannon on how he thought

136
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 5: the rookie class performed this offseason.

137
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 7: You know, I would say a lot of our rookies

138
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 7: did a really good job, guys, you know, for their

139
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 7: first year, just you know, getting acclimate and how we

140
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 7: do things, being all in on that, practicing the right way,

141
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 7: preparing the right way, going out, making plays, you know,

142
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 7: busting their butt. I think the entire Ricky class did

143
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 7: a good job.

144
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 5: So those thirteen players plus last year's first group under

145
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 5: GM Monti Austin. For now, you try to figure out,

146
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 5: all right, you go from ninety to fifty three, who

147
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 5: are our best players to fill out this roster, and

148
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 5: that is what has been going on since well, basically

149
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 5: since preseason began, but certainly after Sunday's game in Denver,

150
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 5: and in all day Monday, and of course all day

151
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 5: today on Tuesday. The challenge of building a fifty three

152
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 5: man roster. Once again, here's the head coach.

153
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 7: It's a challenge that you have to do well. You know,

154
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 7: you're looking at the fifty three and then the practice squad,

155
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 7: the roles will be defined. You know what that looks

156
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 7: like and how important every role is. And I feel

157
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 7: really good about the guys that we're picking from to

158
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 7: fill out those roles.

159
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 2: It's like a puzzle, Paul.

160
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 5: You're trying to figure out which pieces do you have

161
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 5: to fill out the puzzle, and then maybe you're missing

162
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 5: a couple of pieces and you see someone get released.

163
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 5: All right, let's put a claim in. A year ago,

164
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 5: the Cardinals put a claim in on I don't know

165
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 5: how many total, but they were awarded six waiver claims.

166
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 5: Four currently still remain on this team. So yeah, it's

167
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 5: keep an eye on your team and the rest of

168
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 5: the thirty one others as well.

169
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,359
Speaker 2: Think about the fact they snags starling Thomas Roy Lopez

170
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: those sort of guys last year. There's no doubt. The

171
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 2: hallmark one hallmark one sign of a really effective and

172
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: productive front office is when they know their own players

173
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: better than you, and they know your players better than you.

174
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 2: When you go and rip guys away from other teams

175
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: who have been let go, when you identify that sort

176
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: of talent and you have a good enough sense of

177
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: what you have, and then also the free market and

178
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: the thirty one other teams, And there's no doubt Manias

179
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 2: of Warp believes in that greatly, especially at this stage

180
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: of the rebuild. And don't think for a minute it's

181
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 2: not a rebuild. Remember we told you this is the

182
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 2: six Purge movie all over, because the number right now

183
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 2: is five. There are five I remaining draft picks from

184
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 2: the four previous draft classes prior to many Austin for it,

185
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: I mean you talk about let MONI cook, right, I

186
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 2: mean he's starting with all new ingredients, goes thirty two

187
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 2: draft picks and the four draft classes before him, and

188
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: five remain as of right now. You're looking for a

189
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 2: particular person, I think first and foremost and then all right,

190
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 2: what are they as a player that's been made very

191
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 2: clear as far as who they've brought in talking about

192
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: this front office and who they've said, Yeah, we just

193
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 2: don't have room for you anymore.

194
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's tough. I mean, they certainly have a player

195
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 6: type that they want, right They want a personality type.

196
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 6: They want a guy that fits into the culture and

197
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 6: fits into what they're trying to accomplish. But at the

198
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 6: end of the day, it's about players and really who

199
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 6: are the fifty three best players to go out there

200
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 6: on Sundays? And so that's what today is all about. Yeah,

201
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 6: you want them to fit in terms of the culture,

202
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 6: and that's that's very important. But you know who's going

203
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 6: to best help this team on Sundays. That's what today's

204
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 6: all about.

205
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 5: One more from JG when he met the media on Monday.

206
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 5: Now that the preseason is over, you have this week

207
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 5: and then Labor Day begins, your first week of the

208
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 5: regular season, going into Buffalo Week one. It is here

209
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 5: before you know it, here's head coach Jonathan Gannon.

210
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 7: Since urgencies high as I'm sitting here right now, and

211
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 7: I think it goes into what we just talked about

212
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 7: with cuts for us too. There's a starting line now

213
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 7: that's becoming very clear in your vision. So I don't

214
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 7: want to say that our urgency is going to pick up,

215
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 7: but it needs to pick up.

216
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 5: There's excitement and yet at the same time, Paul, you've

217
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 5: watched Jonathan Gannon and this entire coaching stuff, how they

218
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 5: interact with players. It's not that they single out the

219
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 5: stars or the first round draft picks. They make connections

220
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 5: with all ninety players, everyone that walks into this building.

221
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 5: So it's that balancing neck. You're excited about, Hey, this

222
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 5: is our team, yet at the same time, there's a

223
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 5: whole bunch that are not a part of the team anymore.

224
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, the excitement just went up next level. As I'm

225
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 2: sitting here to use those words from Jonathan enn And

226
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: I can tell you having filmed his weekly TV show,

227
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 2: that regular season intensity has arrived. Regular season urgency is

228
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 2: now part of the formula. And to Rob's point about

229
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: certain players, you know, you think of JG and you

230
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 2: know it's now a year and a half into his

231
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 2: era as Cardinals head coach. You think of energy, you

232
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 2: think of physicality, you think of accountability. Those are the

233
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 2: three things to me, first and foremost that he brings

234
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: as a head coach and then in terms of the

235
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: sort of player, there's no doubt they're looking for guys

236
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 2: who are deadly serious about football all ball. Will Hernandez

237
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: talked about that that if you come into this locker

238
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 2: room now and you don't fit, if you're not serious

239
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 2: about your profession and you're not a professional, you won't fit.

240
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 2: It's a matter of you have to conform or get out.

241
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: That's what they want, the culture from the inside out

242
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 2: of that locker room. And then also to a certain degree,

243
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 2: I think they firmly believe it's a big man's game.

244
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: They're building a roster that's much more physical, much bigger.

245
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: A few exceptions here and there, if you're a really

246
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: dynamic playmaker like a Xavier Weaver, is only a buck

247
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 2: seven you or Greg Dorts, you have a role bought

248
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: the tip Rymans of the world, Trey Benson, you know

249
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,599
Speaker 2: you you. They are coming out with a certain mentality,

250
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 2: and I think we'll see it. The whole Kramat Vertical

251
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 2: doesn't just go for the run game. I think it

252
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: describes the DNA of how they want to play football,

253
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 2: and no doubt we will see it Week one in Buffalo.

254
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 5: The line of scrimmage whether that's the offensive line or

255
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 5: the defensive line, run the ball, control the line of scrimmage,

256
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 5: flip it, and it's can you stop the run? And

257
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 5: I think that's still a big question for this team.

258
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 5: But they made that defensive line of priority in the offseason.

259
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 6: They did through free agency and the draft, and so

260
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 6: you're right, it's still a question mark. But they addressed

261
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 6: that defensive line, that front seven, and so that's that's

262
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 6: really where they're at and that's where this this roster

263
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 6: is gonna go.

264
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 5: Week one, right around the corner. Week two, the home

265
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,040

Speaker 5: Rob did Zay Jones unavailable the first five games of

271
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 5: the regular season. What does that mean for the wide

272
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 5: receiver room. We'll get to that next here on the

273
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 5: Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

274
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 3: Shotgun Snap too Trouble, flushed out of the pocket on

275
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 3: his right side, now launches a deep down field weaver

276
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 3: far aside lunges and makes the catch before he touched

277
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 3: to the ground of the twenty seven yard line. That's

278
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 3: a gain of forty three yards of gorgeous throw down

279
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 3: field by two.

280
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 4: Oh, that is big time right there by Clayton tuned

281
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 4: six guys standing on the line of scrimming. Somehow, some

282
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 4: way he got around the unblocked guy to his right.

283
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 5: Use that building, now, Paul, we need to inform Dave

284
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 5: Hash should Savior Weaver make the roster, that it is

285
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 5: we were the receiver and that is what he is

286
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 5: now referred to on this potential fifty three man roster

287
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 5: if he does make the team.

288
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 2: You know what, Dave's up there, you know, in his

289
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 2: ivory tower known as the climate controlled broadcast Booth. I'm

290
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 2: not sure how much he really, you know, believes some

291
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 2: of our analysis from down on the sideline, the ham

292
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 2: and Egger. You know, we grind it out down there. Yes,

293
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 2: we were. The receiver. Was identified before camp. We threw

294
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: him out there, the poly pickskin breakout player at camp.

295
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 2: It's about time. We've had a dry spell for a

296
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 2: few years in that category. But every once in a

297
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 2: while we do hit on a guy.

298
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 6: Right, it'd be the dream Weaver.

299
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 2: Oh, I got what you did there, Go there. Now

300
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 2: Rob's getting in on the action. Yeah, this is what happens. Yep,

301
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 2: everyone jumps the bandwagon line forms to the right. Rob

302
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: that forty three.

303
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 5: Yard catch in the second quarter. Later on that drive,

304
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 5: Weaver had a third teen yard reception on third and six.

305
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 5: That's set up first and goal. Of course, that drive

306
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 5: into in a fumble. But hey, details, But yes, Xavier Weaver,

307
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 5: an undrafted rookie free agent out of Colorado. Rob someone that. Again,

308
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 5: you're undrafted, and it's difficult to make a roster already.

309
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 5: You come in here and you've got Marvin Harrison Junior,

310
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 5: Michael Wilson, Greg George Z Jones, Chris Moore, Zach Passio

311
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 5: and you're like, wait a second, but you come in

312
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 5: and what do you do when you are given an opportunity?

313
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 5: How do you perform? And Weaver has been that guy

314
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 5: more times than not. And then all of a sudden,

315
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 5: Jay Jones suspended violates the league Personal Conduct policy. Not

316
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 5: going to be available the first five games in the

317
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 5: regular season opens up a spot. Now, all of a sudden, Hey,

318
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 5: potential for an undrafted rookie to be in that wide

319
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 5: receiver room.

320
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, and the versatility of Weaver too in the return game.

321
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 6: What he did in the preseason in the return game,

322
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 6: to me, that just kind of puts him a little

323
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 6: bit higher in terms of just what he can bring

324
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 6: to this team. But Xavier Weaver, you know, it's it's

325
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 6: don't count your reps, make your reps count, and he

326
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 6: epitomizes that. Really. What he did every time he was

327
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 6: on the field and every time he was targeted seems

328
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 6: like he was making a big play. You look back

329
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 6: a couple of years ago, and you know, that's what

330
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 6: Greg Dortch was doing. He was making plays when he

331
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 6: was given opportunities the last few years. And Greg dorts

332
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 6: now is one of those guys that on cut day

333
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 6: like today, he didn't have to worry about it, right

334
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 6: because he made the most out of his opportunities. And

335
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 6: I looked at at Xavier Weaver at an exact same

336
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 6: light as that he's he's making the most of his

337
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 6: opportunities and he's got a great one now.

338
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 2: And you know what, the OC Drew Petsen spoke about

339
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 2: Xavier Weed the Weaver in the exact same way you

340
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 2: just did, and went as far as to call him unflappable.

341
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: We said it's really rare for an undrafted rookie, and

342
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 2: you look back at his background. He played four years

343
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 2: at South Florida and then he went to Colorado under

344
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: Dion for his final year. But he played in more

345
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 2: than fifty college games. He's twenty three, about to be

346
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 2: twenty four, so you know, he has a maturity about him.

347
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 2: And to Rob's point, every time, seemingly now. He did

348
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: have one drop in the final preseason game, you know,

349
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 2: and immediately wrapped himself up and said that was my bad.

350
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: He was already looking ahead downfield because he had some

351
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 2: space and it was just an easy throw out of

352
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: the backfield. Otherwise, he was making contested catches on a

353
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 2: daily basis, just like Greg Dortch and Camp. There was

354
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 2: a lot of that. That's a good comp.

355
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like that comparison because you're making your mark

356
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 5: on special teams and then all of a sudden you

357
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 5: get elevated to have a bigger role on offense, like

358
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 5: we expect to have to see out of Greg dorts

359
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 5: this season. Perhaps that's the way Xavier Weaver makes his

360
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 5: mark with the Arizona Cardinals. Head coach Jonathan Gannon, going

361
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 5: back to Sunday in Denver postgame with you, Paul asked

362
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 5: about Weaver's performance against the Broncos.

363
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 8: He did a really good job in the return phase.

364
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 8: It was wendy out there. I'm sure you guys couldn't see,

365
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 8: but it was windy down there. And made some plays

366
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 8: in the passing game. You know, he's done that all camp.

367
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,479
Speaker 8: You know, he shows up, the ball goes to him

368
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 8: and he makes place.

369
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 5: And that's all you ask of any of these players

370
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 5: when their name is called. Can you make a play?

371
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,479
Speaker 5: Can you flash on film and make an impression of

372
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 5: this coaching staff.

373
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 2: And here's what we don't know. Are they going to

374
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 2: use Greg Dortch in the return game? Do you risk

375
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 2: your number three receiver, your slot guy in the return game? Now,

376
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 2: Dortsch is really looking forward to the new dynamic kickoff.

377
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 2: He thinks he's gonna excel in the new format. Bod

378
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 2: is that too risky? And if you have a guy

379
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 2: like Xavier Weaver's pretty darn dynamic and he runs into

380
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 2: the darkness, I mean, he does not hesitate. You saw

381
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: him fielding kicks and punts all over the field throughout

382
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 2: the preseason and in camp. So I am curious, especially

383
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 2: now without Jay Jones. If number thirty and by the way,

384
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 2: he's gonna have to do something about that numbers the receiver,

385
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 2: is he not If indeed he makes this team, he

386
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 2: gets a new number and then he gets a new role.

387
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 2: Is maybe in the receiver rotation.

388
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 5: I like your thinking there, Paul, because yeah, thirty just

389
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 5: looks a little bit off what they want wide receiver height.

390
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 5: We've been hyping him up. We've been talking about Zavier Weaver.

391
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 5: Let's hear from the former Colorado Buffalo post game on

392
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 5: Sunday in Denver.

393
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 9: I saw the case a lot in a way, you know,

394
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 9: I feel like, show what I can do off the field,

395
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 9: on the field in return game and stuff like that.

396
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: But you know, I just felt like I was myself

397
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 2: and that's all you ask of these players.

398
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 5: Again, Robin again, If it's not here with the Arizona Cardinals,

399
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 5: we hope it is because he has it performed well.

400
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 5: But it's thirty one other teams that have seen film

401
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 5: for three games now of Xavier Weaver not only catching

402
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 5: balls but returning as well.

403
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 6: I have a strong suspicion that if he's let go,

404
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 6: he does not clear waivers. I don't think there's an

405
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 6: opportunity to bring him back on the practice squad, So

406
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 6: it's make the fifty three or say goodbye. So I

407
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 6: think the Cardinals are going to keep him for sure.

408
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 6: Xavier Weaver has done enough in my estimation, to be

409
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,479
Speaker 6: impactful to this offense and special teams I looked at.

410
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 6: That's really the area where I think he's gonna shine initially,

411
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 6: is going to be in the return game.

412
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 2: And you know what, he's certainly not an unknown now,

413
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 2: and he really wasn't going into camp. Word was. Once

414
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 2: the draft ended, his phone lit up. Him and his

415
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 2: agent start getting a lot of calls, and the Cardinals

416
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 2: gave him a lot of money for an undrafted rookie,

417
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 2: reportedly over two hundred and fifty grand guaranteed as an

418
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 2: undrafted rookie, which is unusually high. But if you look

419
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 2: at how they did this year with a twelve player

420
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: draft class, they say, you know what, we're not bringing

421
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 2: in ten undrafted rookies. We'll bring in three guys. We'll

422
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 2: spend a little bit more money to bring in three

423
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 2: quality guys and see if they can compete. And it

424
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 2: looks like they hit a home run, at least so

425
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 2: far in Xavier Weaver.

426
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 5: Overall, you look at the wide receivers and there are

427
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 5: three Marvin, Michael and Dortch and you just wonder like, Okay,

428
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 5: what do you do if you need a fourth or

429
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 5: is that the tight end position?

430
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 2: Is that a running back?

431
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 5: If you carry so many running backs, then all of

432
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 5: a sudden you need to find a role for maybe

433
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 5: a Michael Carter or a Trey Benson in the past game,

434
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 5: because that's you have all these options if you're Drew Petsing,

435
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 5: So again, make your mark on special teams if you're

436
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 5: Xavier Weaver. But yeah, the wide receiver overall, how many

437
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 5: times are we actually going to see four or five

438
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 5: wide during the course of the game.

439
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 2: And you know how it goes. Drew Petsing loves to

440
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 2: be multiple. You'll get thirteen personnel and then the next

441
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 2: snap he'll go empty. We saw it. You get all

442
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 2: these different personnel groups. I was telling Craig on Cover

443
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 2: two yesterday, Rob, you know what I want Kyler Murray

444
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: to be accused of this year, of being brock perty,

445
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 2: of being a game manager, of having so many weapons.

446
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 2: All he needs to do is distribute the football and

447
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 2: then on the rare occasion when he needs to be

448
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 2: the best athlete on the field and dial it up

449
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 2: to keep a defense accountable. On third and eleven, he's

450
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 2: got to run for the sticks. Great, but until then,

451
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 2: just get the ball out. Be precise in your decision making.

452
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 2: You have enough weapons at your disposal, use them.

453
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 6: Ten percent of the offensive snaps. Last year, the Arizona

454
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 6: Cardinals were in thirteen personnel, three tight ends, one back,

455
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 6: so you know, and then twelve person they're in a

456
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 6: twenty percent of the time, so thirty percent of the

457
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,719
Speaker 6: offensive snaps. They're in multiple tight end sets. That limits

458
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 6: the number of wide receivers you have out on the field.

459
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 6: So again, you know, when it becomes a numbers game

460
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 6: and you're thinking of creating your final roster, you might

461
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 6: have some leeway there in terms of the number of

462
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 6: wide receivers you actually keep on the active roster.

463
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 5: You're comparing that fifth or sixth wide receiver and their

464
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 5: value versus maybe the ninth or tenth offensive lineman or

465
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 5: the fifth or sixth corner or defensive back. Trying to

466
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 5: figure out how do we construct the best fifty three.

467
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 2: You know, reportedly Blake Whiteheart has been released. What's the

468
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 2: future with Travis vocal act Bernhard's Psychowitz. Now, are these

469
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 2: guys are gonna be game day activations from the practice squad? Perhaps,

470
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 2: But if there's a notable waiver claim out there at

471
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 2: tight end, I think that's where your fourth tight end

472
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 2: comes from. Is one of the thirty one other teams.

473
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 5: Cardinals right now fourth in that waiver claim order a

474
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 5: year ago, six players after cut down. We'll see how

475
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 5: going to the Cardinals might add here over the next

476
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 5: twenty four forty eight hours. Well, we mentioned the reported

477
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 5: trade of Cameron Thomas to the Kansas City Chiefs. We'll

478
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 5: dive to that more what it means for that front seven.

479
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 5: Next here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio.

480
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 3: Network, Third and goal in the six, Wilson takes the

481
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 3: shotgun snap facing a four man rush standing in the pocket.

482
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 3: Now in trouble in sack, Luketta got him back at

483
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 3: the eleven yard line. Boy Jesse Luketta continues to shine

484
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 3: and forces Denver into a field goal.

485
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 10: That's a big play right there, Jesse Luketta coming off

486
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 10: the edge from the right side of Zach Wilson. That

487
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 10: is well done by Jesse Luketta getting the arm under

488
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 10: and then making the play.

489
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 5: A sack a couple of quarterback hits from Jesse Luketta.

490
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 5: On Sunday in Denver, the preseason finale Cardinals finished with

491
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 5: four sacks eight quarterback hits in a thirty eight to

492
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 5: twelve loss. As we say, welcome back here to the

493
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 5: Cardinals Red Seat Report Craig raylu Paul Calvic, and Rob Frederickson,

494
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 5: as we kind of discuss what is going on decision

495
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 5: day here, the fifty three man roster teams by one

496
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 5: pm Arizona time have to have no more than fifty

497
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 5: three players on the roster. There have been some reported

498
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 5: moves already, but the key is as far as the

499
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,959
Speaker 5: front seven is concerned. We kind of hinted at it

500
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 5: off the top robin. That is, according to reports, Cameron Thomas,

501
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 5: the outside linebacker traded to the Kansas City Chiefs for

502
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 5: a seventh round pick, and that was someone like a

503
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 5: Jesse Luketto or a Victory D. Mccagee in that outside

504
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 5: linebacker room fighting for a spot, fighting for a role

505
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 5: depending on how many edge rushers this team decides to keep.

506
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think Cam Thomas is his performance in

507
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 6: the preseason really helped him and helped the Cardinals get

508
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 6: some value for him in terms of a trade. But

509
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 6: when I look at this room, you know, and and

510
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 6: you you came back with with Jesse Looketta highlight there.

511
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 6: He's a he's a guy, he's he's a Jonathan Gannon

512
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 6: all ball kind of guy that you know that we

513
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 6: talk about. He's he's a guy that you know it's

514
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 6: just all effort, you know. And he's a he's a

515
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 6: player that you know, he can do multiple things. He

516
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 6: can he can play full back. You know, Wolf loves that.

517
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 6: But you know it's looking at this room. You got

518
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 6: d McCage, you got Luketta, Xavier Thomas. I think is

519
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 6: is really you know, his emergence in this preseasons has

520
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 6: given them a little latitude in terms of what they

521
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 6: can do. And so they went out and made that

522
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 6: made that move with Cam Thomas. And it might still

523
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 6: be a position group that the Cardinals are looking to

524
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 6: improve upon uh in free agency and and there are

525
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 6: some guys out there so that that may still be

526
00:26:54,880 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 6: an area that that they address. But given given where

527
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 6: they're at right now, I like the group with Gardak

528
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 6: and Zavon Collins and Xavier Thomas d Mucage and Luketta.

529
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 6: I think that's a that's a solid group. And don't forget,

530
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 6: you know, the the versatility of a mac Wilson senior

531
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 6: and his ability to rush on the outside. And and

532
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 6: I think the inside linebacker position is deep with Owen

533
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 6: Popo and Chris Barnes. Those guys can come in and

534
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 6: if if mac Wilson needs to go up and rush.

535
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 6: So there's some versatility there. There's some options for the Cardinals.

536
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 5: That's the wild card right there is mac Wilson Senior.

537
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:37,719
Speaker 5: I know you call him a man a mystery, but

538
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 5: I don't know if I think we're that might no

539
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 5: longer be the case, especially with Bjo Julari done for

540
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 5: the season. And now if you're looking for a rotation

541
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,479
Speaker 5: or just guys to get after the quarterback, mac Wilson

542
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 5: Senior could be one of those guys.

543
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I would not be shocked if Week one

544
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 2: at Buffalo, mac Wilson Senior off the edge, Zavon Collins

545
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 2: goes inside on a third and obvious, you know Nick

546
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 2: Ross has dialed up a lot of that sort of stuff,

547
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 2: trying and create those those mismatches, and you know, use

548
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,479
Speaker 2: that athleticism to get to Josh Allen. I mean so,

549
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 2: and then with Owen Papo, as you mentioned in his speed,

550
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 2: and he's really taken a leap from year one to

551
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 2: year two. He got a lot of game reps the

552
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 2: end of last season. You can trust him in coverage,

553
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 2: you know, that's always the question, Okay, is that backup

554
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 2: inside linebacker able to really check a running back run

555
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 2: with a tight end, And so far Papo appears to be.

556
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 2: You know, he is a freak. That is his Twitter handle.

557
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 2: He does have the athleticism, so at least there are options.

558
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 2: And then of course, you know, you look at Victor d. Mucage.

559
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 2: You easily arguably should have had three sacks in the

560
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: second game. And you look at his pressure rate efficiency

561
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 2: from last year. The analytics say when he got his reps,

562
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 2: he got to the quarterback Dennis Gardex pressure rate was

563
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 2: pretty hard high. So maybe, as kV B has talked about, Okay,

564
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 2: you have a bunch of guys with different body types,

565
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: different rushing styles. You know, Zavian's very different from guard.

566
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 2: Who's different from the raging bowl that is Victor d. McCage.

567
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 2: And then you have Xavier Thomas, another man of mystery,

568
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 2: at least in terms of the regular season. Who puts

569
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 2: the speed in a speed rusher. Maybe there's enough initially

570
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 2: the first month of the season. And if you're if

571
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 2: you have a winning record and you just have this

572
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 2: you real deficit at edge rush, then maybe you go

573
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 2: out before the trade deadline.

574
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 5: You got to be able to get into third and

575
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 5: obvious passing situations. And I think that falls now all

576
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 5: of a sudden on that entire front seven and the

577
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 5: defensive lone. How much can you get out of Justin

578
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 5: Jones below, Nichols, l Roy Lopez, Dante Stills, guys to

579
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 5: kind of force that quarterback to get rid of the

580
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 5: football and maybe some pressure up the middle as opposed

581
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 5: to the outside.

582
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 2: And guys, correct me if I'm wrong. But to Craig's point,

583
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 2: as a four win team a year ago, you were

584
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 2: trailing to most of the games, and Rob, you know

585
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 2: where does the bulk of the sacks com Usually it's

586
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: when you have a nice touchdown lead, two score lead,

587
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 2: pin your ears back, let's go hunt. Yeah, it didn't

588
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 2: happen a whole lot to the Cardinals because they didn't

589
00:29:58,960 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 2: have the lead a whole lot.

590
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 6: Last No and they didn't have the lead, and they

591
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 6: didn't have most of their defensive linemen. They were on

592
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 6: the sidelines with injuries, and teams were running the ball.

593
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 6: They had they had a lead, they were chilling, taking

594
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 6: their time, running out the clock, running the football. Cardinals

595
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 6: couldn't stop the run. Why pass you know?

596
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 10: So?

597
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 6: So, yeah, you're right. The sack opportunities, the pressure opportunities

598
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 6: might not have been there as frequently as you would

599
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,719
Speaker 6: think in an NFL game, But be that as it may,

600
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 6: the Cardinals really needed to address both the pressure in

601
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 6: terms of a pass rush and also stopping the run.

602
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 6: And I think they've done that.

603
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 5: And specifically with outside linebackers. This defense asks a lot.

604
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 5: It's not just rush the quarterback. It's setting the edge,

605
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 5: it's stopping the run. Can you drop into coverage and

606
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 5: either take the tight end or the running back coming

607
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 5: across the middle. So yeah, losing Cameron Thomas might have

608
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 5: been a surprise for a lot of people, but a

609
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 5: year ago he was a ninety four percent off the

610
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 5: edge on blitz situations and that was basically about it.

611
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 5: This defense asked more of their outside linebackers. Case in point,

612
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 5: Jesse Luketta, the more you can do. Let's go back

613
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 5: to his performance on Sunday postgame, what he thought he

614
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 5: was able to do in the preseason.

615
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 9: The game slowed down. I say, really, just you know,

616
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 9: honing in on you know my keys, honding on the game,

617
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 9: understanding situations. It's just it's been flowing. So it's going

618
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 9: out there and just playing ball.

619
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 5: Can play defense, can play offense, and then special teams.

620
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 5: If you're a Jesse Loketta or Victor de McCage, and

621
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 5: you're gonna be in that room, Paul, if you're a

622
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 5: Cameron Thomas, you're gonna be in that room. What's your

623
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 5: role on special teams? And I don't know how much

624
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 5: of a role Cameron had on special teams. And if

625
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 5: you're the fifth or sixth outside linebacker, well you're not

626
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 5: gonna have a uniform on game day.

627
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 2: By the way, Jesse Loketta does endorse Canadian Army Knife.

628
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 2: We've we've confirmed that with him. He is a first.

629
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 2: He does like that, the first player that's endorsed the nickname.

630
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 2: I just said, he likes the old Canadian Army knife thing,

631
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 2: and it is an apt description. Now, I don't know

632
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 2: if he's going to be a fullback this year. I know,

633
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 2: are they hiding that. I'm not exactly sure where that

634
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 2: might be tracking, but he is on all the teams

635
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 2: and he's very effective and seemingly with the new dynamic

636
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 2: kickoff he has the body type that you need. You

637
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 2: don't need like the four to three guy anymore. Necessarily,

638
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 2: you need a Jesse Luketta type who has enough speed

639
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 2: and then has enough power to get through you know

640
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 2: that that five yards of chaos and shed a guy

641
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 2: and make a tackle. So I think his value with

642
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 2: the new kickoff rule has been enhanced. That's my opinion.

643
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 5: Different body types, different skill sets in that outside linebacker room.

644
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 5: More from Luketa on having different guys in that room

645
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 5: to kind of form a rotation on game day.

646
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 9: Fresh legs, you know how I guess during during the season,

647
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 9: you know, we have a defense with you know, defensive

648
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 9: coordinator Nikralis, who wants to go out there and go

649
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 9: get him who want to hunt. So the opportunity that

650
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 9: it presents having fresh legs and guys who are able

651
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 9: to go out there and ex be violent playing upside.

652
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 2: And by the way, but it looks like he's playing faster,

653
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 2: he says. He is. He says he is quicker. His offseason,

654
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: he slimmed down a little bit, you know, worked on

655
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 2: some of that game speed, you know type stuff. I

656
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 2: think that's shown up in a lot of reps. A

657
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 2: lot of guys notice that down on the sidelines. Wow,

658
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 2: forty three looks quicker. And then he said the game

659
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 2: slowed down for him mentally at this point, he's seen

660
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 2: enough in the game, he's gotten enough reps where he's

661
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 2: a little quicker with this decision making as well.

662
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 5: Look, in a perfect world, do you want that multi

663
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 5: that double digit sat guy that team scheme for and

664
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 5: prepare for sure, But in the absence of that rob

665
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 5: I think what you have on the roster, you have

666
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 5: to have that rotation to kind of keep that offensive

667
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 5: line and the offense overall guessing, all right, who's coming now,

668
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 5: what are we doing? And remember what sometimes you do

669
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 5: in the first quarter sets up something you do in

670
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 5: the second half.

671
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 6: And I think the bolstering of the interior defensive line

672
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 6: through free agency and the draft with Darius Robinson, you know,

673
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 6: I think that will really help the guys on the outside.

674
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 6: It'll it'll create some pressure up the middle and force

675
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 6: the quarterbacks to maybe move in and out of the

676
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 6: pocket and create some opportunities for this, you know, a

677
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 6: rush by committee, which is what we're gonna have. Yeah,

678
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 6: it's it's not necessarily the fact or the hope that

679
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 6: one of these guys gets multiple ten plus sacks per season.

680
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 6: I don't know if that's gonna happen, But if there's

681
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 6: enough pressure from enough guys on the outside, I think

682
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 6: that I'm fine with that.

683
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 2: Right For example, like LJ. Collier has been really disruptive,

684
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 2: really really getting upfield, getting into the backfield. So often

685
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,240
Speaker 2: does the sack begin with that interior d lineman getting

686
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 2: up field, getting into the backfield, flushing a quarterback out

687
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 2: and then boom, one of the edge guys just jumps them.

688
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 2: You know. KVB said it's no fluke Is three Pro

689
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 2: Bowls when he played with Albert Hainsworth and then dominic

690
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 2: ensue because those guys were beasts inside.

691
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 5: Or you have someone lined up as a defensive end

692
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 5: and getting to the quarterback. And let's not forget knock

693
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 5: on wood Darius Robinson. If he is missing time, it's

694
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 5: not a lot of time. That's another name to consider

695
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 5: as far as being able to get after the quarterback Paulie.

696
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 6: What's the difference between a Canadian army knife and a

697
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 6: Swiss army knife. Well, it is just nicer, no it

698
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 6: don't you know.

699
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 2: I didn't get that in depth with Jesse Luketta. I

700
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 2: just want to he just he smiled and he said,

701
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 2: I'm all about it. You know the Canadian right now,

702
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 2: there's the Danish army knife too, with the older Froholt,

703
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 2: so he's used that. Moniker. You're right, we need to

704
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 2: get to the bottom of this. We need a powerpole.

705
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 2: You know which nation's army knife is superior concerning That's right, Okay,

706
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 2: we'll get on that.

707
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 5: A lot of weapons in that locker room, skilled guys

708
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 5: in in just nicknames as well. By the way, Ohio

Speaker 5: Azy Cardinals about the Italian army knife.

713
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 3: Snap to Murray doesn't back just throw us quickly and

714
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 3: it's caught for a first down by Higgins, powered.

715
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,959
Speaker 2: His way through a tackle attempt to get the first down.

716
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 10: That is right on the Nats behind throwing his tight

717
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 10: end open, hurry to throwing third and goal from the pocket,

718
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 10: backing up, lobbing it left corner, Higgins got it touchdown.

719
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 2: First career touchdown for Higgins. What a great throw by

720
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 2: Tyler Murray.

721
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 5: Elijah Higgins one of those players that the Cardinals claimed

722
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 5: following roster cuts a year ago and still on this

723
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 5: roster and dare I say, probably gonna have a pretty

724
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 5: big role behind Trey McBride as a tight end. As

725
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 5: we say, welcome back to Cardinals Red Sea report Craigielu,

726
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 5: Paul Calvic and Rod Frederickson. Another reason, Paul we like

727
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 5: Elijah Higgins is because of the alma mater.

728
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 2: What no, absolutely not. Somehow he overcame his Stanford background

729
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 2: and actually has a spot on the fifty three to

730
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 2: the point where he didn't see a lot of preseason action.

731
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 2: Did you see any? Is hec? I mean, that's a

732
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 2: good question. Actually that's better because we do plan on

733
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,919
Speaker 2: drafting him late going in the fantasy football draft. Okay,

734
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 2: he's gonna be a real sleep. In fact, let's not

735
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 2: talk about Elijah Higgins because we want to keep him

736
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 2: as an unknown. He's a real sleeper. But you guys,

737
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 2: are right. This team used more thirteen personnel than any

738
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 2: team in the NFL. Right now they have three, count

739
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 2: them three legit tight ends on this roster and his

740
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 2: ability to run routes and separate as a former receiver,

741
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 2: it is real. He will get targets. I think he

742
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 2: will get catches and there will be yards after catch

743
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 2: as well. You saw him in December and January last year.

744
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 2: He started to earn the trust to Kyler Murray and

745
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 2: they had a couple of good games, a couple of

746
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 2: good connections, and he had a touchdown. Quick check.

747
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 5: He did not play and out of the last two

748
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 5: preseason games Elijah Higgins. So yeah, that tells you right away,

749
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 5: Rob that all right, you're one of those guys that, Okay,

750
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 5: maybe you need to knock the rust off on that

751
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 5: first preseason game, but after that, now we're gonna put

752
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 5: you in bubble wrap and make sure you're ready week one.

753
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 4: Yeah.

754
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 6: Well, him, along with Tip Ryman and of course Trey McBride,

755
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 6: that's a that's a good tight end group. I like

756
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 6: that tight end group. But the question is, you know,

757
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 6: because we talked about the propensity of this offense to

758
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 6: go into multiple tight end sets, thirty percent of their

759
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 6: offensive snaps last season. We're multiple tight end sets, so

760
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 6: do you need a fourth tight end or is that

761
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 6: somebody that you bring in if needed based on injury,

762
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 6: if needed off the practice squad. That's really going to

763
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 6: be the question mark when this final roster situation unfolds

764
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 6: today and.

765
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 5: Then you see who might be available after these final

766
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,280
Speaker 5: roster cuts are made this afternoon. Head coach Jonathan Gannon

767
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 5: on just that bringing in players who were a part

768
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 5: of another team but now you want for your week

769
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 5: one roster.

770
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 7: We're watching everybody right now. That's part of the job

771
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 7: in these next this next week, honestly, and Mani's staff

772
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 7: and the personnelse I does a really good job of

773
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 7: setting the table for the coaches. Hey, here's the thought

774
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 7: of this guy, how would that fit? You know? But

775
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 7: then you got a weigh a bunch of factors into

776
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 7: that too. So they do a good job of keeping

777
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 7: that list pretty tight. But there's definitely a list you're looking.

778
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 5: At the waiver claim and then guys that you want

779
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 5: back that you had to release because there's just no

780
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 5: room for him. You do have a sixteen man practice squad.

781
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 5: It can be as many as seventeen if you have

782
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 5: that international player. And I say that because, according to reports,

783
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 5: Bernhard Psychovitz one of those early cuts on Tuesday that

784
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 5: the Cardinals have made in that tight end room. Same

785
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 5: report mentioned that they want Psychovits on the practice squad

786
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 5: and a new rule this year that past couple of seasons,

787
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 5: Paul If Psychovitz was placed on the practice squad after cuts,

788
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 5: he was only on the practice squad.

789
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 2: Now, as an.

790
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 5: International player, he can be one of those tight ends

791
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 5: that gets elevated. That particularly to give you that fourth

792
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 5: or fifth tight end, depending on what they decide to do.

793
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 2: It reinforces our thinking the strategy like, okay, wait a minute,

794
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 2: if you're leading league in thirteen personnel, how can you

795
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 2: only have those three tight ends on the fit fifty three?

796
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 2: But if you have Blake Whiteheart, Travis Vocalek, and Bernhard

797
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 2: Psychowitz all in the practice squad, all eligible for call

798
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 2: up on game day at least the first half of

799
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 2: the season until you'd have to make a roster move. Now,

800
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you see perhaps the strategy behind

801
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 2: what you're doing in the tight end room.

802
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 6: You can always roll Kelvin Beachum out there and hey,

803
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 6: I'm eligible ref and you.

804
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 2: Know what, we brought that up. So look, I mean

805
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 2: in a rundown, obvious rundown situation, if you want to

806
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 2: go thirteen personnel, why not an extra offensive lineman a

807
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 2: John Gain, someone who is pretty athletic, Calvin Beach, and

808
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,919
Speaker 2: why not stack those guys off, you know, a heavy

809
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 2: set to one side.

810
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,439
Speaker 6: You know it's you talk about culture, but you also

811
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 6: talk about identity. You know, culture is what you do

812
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 6: when no one else is watching. But identity is when

813
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 6: you give the opposing team your playbook and say, yeah,

814
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 6: try and stop us. So I'm not opposed to bringing

815
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 6: out a third offensive tackle and lining them up as

816
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 6: a tight end. And you know, I think teams sometimes

817
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 6: do that, and that would be a possible situation for

818
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 6: the Cardinals.

819
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 2: And you know what, Jonathan Ganny hit on that recently

820
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 2: and he talked about again on his TV show. There's

821
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 2: just those bread and butter things. That's your identity that

822
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 2: you know what back in Ba's days, for example, twenty

823
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,720
Speaker 2: two and twenty three double We're gonna go to Seattle

824
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 2: and we're gonna run that thirty times here it comes.

825
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 6: Can you stop if we don't care if you know

826
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 6: it's coming right right, Yes, we're better than you. That's

827
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,399
Speaker 6: the mentality, that's the identity.

828
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 5: Still a big question with this team, and we'll have

829
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 5: to kind of see how it plays out as far

830
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 5: as what happens as far as the backup to Kyler Murray.

831
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 5: According to reports, Desmond Ritter has been released that leaves

832
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 5: Clayton tune right now as QB two. Does that stay

833
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 5: that way and then a third quarterback is added to

834
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 5: the practice squad? Or Paul, is there a quarterback? Because

835
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 5: there have been a ton that have been made available

836
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 5: today that is either acquired via a trade I ate

837
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 5: Josh Dobbs like a year ago, or you claim and

838
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 5: then all of a sudden you do keep three quarterbacks

839
00:41:58,160 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 5: on the roster.

840
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 2: It's not p posteros to consider. Think about it a

841
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 2: year ago after camp edit, after the preseason ended, you

842
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 2: traded for your starting quarterback who had eight days. We

843
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 2: had like four practices to get ready for a season

844
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 2: opener Week one at Washington, So why would you not

845
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 2: consider doing the same for the backup? So I think

846
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 2: it's definitely in the cards. I really do that it's

847
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 2: a possibility. Taylor Heineke if he gets let go by

848
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 2: Atlanta more than ever teams are sticking with just two quarterbacks. Well,

849
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 2: now you have Kirk Cousins and Michael Pennix. If you

850
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 2: have a thirty year old Taylor Heineke with fifty starts

851
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 2: under his belt, how does that compare with a Clayton

852
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 2: Tune has one career start under his belt. And if

853
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 2: you let Clayton Tune go, does he get snapped up?

854
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 2: Considering all the other quarterbacks in the open market, maybe

855
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 2: you get him to the practice squad eventually.

856
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 6: I think with that second quarterback, and maybe even if

857
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 6: you're considering a third quarterback, what you want is you

858
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 6: want stability. You want confidence in that person to at

859
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 6: least get you through that game. And if it's multiple weeks,

860
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 6: then you can kind of reassess. But as far as

861
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 6: as far as backup quarterback, yeah, in my opinion, you

862
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 6: want somebody that has some experience, number one, and you

863
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 6: have some trust in I think they have some trust

864
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 6: in Clayton Tune, but he doesn't have the experience. That's

865
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 6: going to be the issue.

866
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 5: The knock on Clayton Tune, as well as he did

867
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 5: improve from a year ago, is the final pass attempt

868
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 5: that he had on Sunday and the pick six bad

869
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 5: throw behind Andre Bachelli. Yes, and I know it was

870
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 5: discussed on the broadcast. Paul that his day was done.

871
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 5: Probably told hey, you're good to go. Yet at the

872
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 5: same time, if you're a backup quarterback, you have to

873
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,720
Speaker 5: be ready at a moment's notice, and in that moment,

874
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 5: he didn't do his job.

875
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 2: No doubt. And then there's also the persistent problem of

876
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 2: taking sacks. He took seven of them against Cleveland. I

877
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 2: get it, it was Miles Garrett. They had a number

878
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 2: one d you know, he was your defensive player of

879
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 2: the Year. I get all that, but he's taking his

880
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 2: share of sacks in the preseason. So to the degree

881
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 2: that he is playing faster, is he playing fast enough

882
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 2: for the coaches liking?

883
00:43:59,120 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 9: You know?

884
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 2: Is he still And when you get into the regular season,

885
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 2: you're not going to see any vanilla defenses. You're gonna

886
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:05,800
Speaker 2: see a lot of stuff for the sake of scheming

887
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 2: it up against a young, inexperienced quarterback. So can you

888
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 2: trust him? Ball security is of utmost importance.

889
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 5: It was the biggest storyline of training camp. Yet at

890
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 5: the same time, now we're in the regular season, and Rob,

891
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 5: I hope we're not talking about QB two at all

892
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 5: this season, and that is unless they're holding, because Blake

893
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 5: Gillikin can't hold. But outside that, you hope Kyler Murray's

894
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 5: on the field for every single snap this season.

895
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 6: Oh absolutely, We hope this is never a discussion moving forward.

896
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:39,439
Speaker 6: But I think too, the offensive philosophy and the play

897
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 6: calling can help Taylor of Clayton tune in situations where

898
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 6: maybe he is thrust into playing playing some football, you know,

899
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 6: the play action and doing those things like that that

900
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 6: create kind of a half the field situation where he's

901
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 6: got some room and he's only got a couple options.

902
00:44:57,760 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 6: Those things can help.

903
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 2: And if Kyler Murray is a pro wall caliber quarterback, again,

904
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 2: you don't need to have the world's best roster. A

905
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 2: great quarterback makes up for a lot of other shortcomings

906
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 2: on a roster.

907
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 5: Well, we'll see what the roster looks like in one

908
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 5: week's time when we reconvene here on the Cardinals Red
