Speaker 3: Well, it is good to be back, especially good to

Speaker 3: be back with you two fine gentlemen, and producer Cody

Speaker 3: Fincher on the other.

Speaker 5: Side of the glass as well.

Speaker 6: For sure, don't leave out Cody.

Speaker 5: Cody just pumped his fist in the air. He's ready

Speaker 5: to go.

Speaker 3: Yeah, anytime Cody gets an on air, I mentioned he's

Speaker 3: very excited.

Speaker 5: This is true, He glips him. But I will say

Speaker 5: this and I were here before July fourth, Yeah, we were.

Speaker 5: We had a good show going.

Speaker 3: I listened, Oh, he listened I did not, and I

Speaker 3: still have not been to Bucky's.

Speaker 6: All right. He did. Frankly, I'm surprised they brought you

Speaker 6: back the way we were vibing, you know, the two

Speaker 6: of us.

Speaker 3: Man, there was some concern I might get Wally chipped.

Speaker 5: That's okay, that's okay, Zach. You want to trans know,

Speaker 5: it's okay. I after July fourth, and now we need

Speaker 5: some time to recover. Yeah, thinking about doing a show

Speaker 5: two days later, it was not going to be the

Speaker 5: most fun objective. But now I pass over that honor

Speaker 5: responsibility to you, all right, I.

Speaker 3: Appreciate that our first show of the month. And by

Speaker 3: the way, has anyone really checked the calendar? Because one

Speaker 3: month from yesterday the Hall of Fame game, We are

Speaker 3: that close. Two weeks from tomorrow training camp begins, players reports,

Speaker 3: and then the following day of the first training camp practice.

Speaker 3: That is how quickly this offseason has flown by.

Speaker 6: All I can say is thank goodness.

Speaker 7: Oh.

Speaker 6: The USA men's national team last night a big stinker

Speaker 6: and lost, So there goes that. And you know, baseball

Speaker 6: is just kind of baseball. Basketball is done, Hockey's done.

Speaker 6: So yeah, I'm dying over here for some football man, we.

Speaker 5: Could always be Egypt fans. That is true.

Speaker 3: That by the way, as we speak to you here

Speaker 3: on this Tuesday morning, that was an incredible five plus

Speaker 3: minutes watching Argentina and Egypt before we hit the air

Speaker 3: here on the Cardinals Red Superport. Just do I acknowledge

Speaker 3: what is happening outside of this building?

Speaker 5: Correct? Well, because of what's been going on outside the building,

Speaker 5: I think it's been pretty It's been good to have

Speaker 5: so many different sports going on because this is the

Speaker 5: quiet part of the offseason. But it wasn't until after

Speaker 5: the US lost and all the tweets started coming out saying, hey,

Speaker 5: well a month from today football takes place, and then

Speaker 5: started to realize, wait a minute, that's the Cardinals that

Speaker 5: are going to be the team that are going to

Speaker 5: be jogging out there. So it's exciting. The calendar has

Speaker 5: officially flipped July and we're getting ready to go with

Speaker 5: some football.

Speaker 3: At what point, Rob, when you were playing did training

Speaker 3: camp enter your mind?

Speaker 6: I think early in the month of July, usually two

Speaker 6: or three weeks before you had to report. Is when

Speaker 6: you as a player, you start getting a little surly,

Speaker 6: start getting a little short with people's questions and maybe

Speaker 6: getting a little agitated. I just I think that you're,

Speaker 6: you know, you're building up, you're callousing not only your

Speaker 6: body but your mind and getting getting ready for you

Speaker 6: kind of getting in that training camp mode. So I

Speaker 6: don't know if it's like that anymore, given the you know,

Speaker 6: the just the nature of training camp and the lack

Speaker 6: of constant physical contact. But you know, I do think

Speaker 6: the competition coming up, and especially at some key positions

Speaker 6: for the Arizona Cardinals, I think there's a lot of

Speaker 6: guys that are a little edgy right now.

Speaker 3: When you played, there was more of a separation between

Speaker 3: mini camp and training camp, meaning guys did get away,

Speaker 3: they didn't come back to the facility.

Speaker 5: Here on this.

Speaker 3: Tuesday morning, there's a good number of cars in that

Speaker 3: players lot, so guys are still coming into the facility,

Speaker 3: getting in some work, ramping up their bodies. It is

Speaker 3: a three sixty five type of profession, not that it

Speaker 3: wasn't when you played, rob but I think players are

Speaker 3: more in tune with their own bodies and what needs

Speaker 3: to be done during the offseason to be healthy for

Speaker 3: a full regular season.

Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's the key point as players, especially veterans,

Speaker 6: the older guys, the guys that have been around for

Speaker 6: a while. It's interesting. After the season ends, they might

Speaker 6: take a week off and then they're right back in

Speaker 6: the weight room. They're right back in there getting ready

Speaker 6: because they know. The older they get it takes them

Speaker 6: more time to prepare their body, more time to get healthy.

Speaker 6: And so, yeah, the rookies, the young guys, they can

Speaker 6: get away for a few weeks after the season and

Speaker 6: this time of year before training camp. But those vets man,

Speaker 6: they're around a lot.

Speaker 5: One of the things that Michael Ford talked about in

Speaker 5: the Cardinals Overtime feature that is now on the official

Speaker 5: YouTube channel for the Arizona Cardinals was the fact that

Speaker 5: one of the reasons why people love signing with the

Speaker 5: Cardinals and becoming an Arizona Cardinals because they get to

Speaker 5: be in Arizona and this weather and all the opportunities

Speaker 5: that they do have out here. So that's also part

Speaker 5: of the reason why there's a lot of cars that

Speaker 5: are still at the building because where else would you

Speaker 5: rather be. I do know that, you know, there's a

Speaker 5: lot of football adjacent things that are taking place. You

Speaker 5: have the Sack Summit, which is taking place in Las

Speaker 5: Vegas this weekend. You had tight End you taking place

Speaker 5: in Nashville a few weekends ago. So the guys are

Speaker 5: still The good thing is is that this is the

Speaker 5: time of the year where you start to wonder, maybe like, well,

Speaker 5: what are the guys doing? Because of social media and

Speaker 5: because we're here in this building, you could see that

Speaker 5: the guys are still very active and very around. And

Speaker 5: I can confirm because I did see him at the airport,

Speaker 5: Josh Sweat. He did say that he's going to be

Speaker 5: in Miami, just like he typically does. He's also working

Speaker 5: out game right to go for the twenty twenty six season.

Speaker 3: Speaking of Josh What, the NFL top one hundred players

Speaker 3: getting released and unveiled, and Josh checks in at number

Speaker 3: seventy Eight's a improvements from last season when he was

Speaker 3: number ninety five, Josh What coming off a career high

Speaker 3: twelve sacks. We'll talk more a little bit a little

Speaker 3: bit later on about tid End University, but you bring

Speaker 3: up Trey McBride recently social Media Busting with the Boys podcast.

Speaker 3: Trey McBride on what he has seen from the young

Speaker 3: players that the Cardinals drafted, specifically Jeremiah Love and Carson Beck.

Speaker 7: Jeremiah sits right next to me. He's very quiet, hardly

Speaker 7: talks it all. Carson is kind of the same way.

Speaker 7: He's pretty pretty quiet, believe it or not. He's just chill,

Speaker 7: wants to kind of do everything the right way, right,

Speaker 7: So what's to believe it or not?

Speaker 8: Mean?

Speaker 7: Well, it's just like I feel like, you know, a

Speaker 7: lot of people would would think he's kind of like

Speaker 7: a but he's not.

Speaker 9: He's really you know, you know howadays as a player

Speaker 9: like you can have this perception publicly, but if you're

Speaker 9: all ball like, you're going to be a guy that's

Speaker 9: especially rookie. What surprised me the most about Arson was

Speaker 9: the build on that cat. He's a way bigger dude

Speaker 9: than I expected him to be. Yeah, he's huge, He's

Speaker 9: got a little something to him. Yeah he looks like

Speaker 9: a tight end. I'm like, bigger than me, you know.

Speaker 9: But no, he's he's a stud and he he throws

Speaker 9: the ball really well. He's a I think he has

Speaker 9: a chance to be a really good player in the STU.

Speaker 9: Yeah you think he's week one. I don't know about

Speaker 9: week one unless something crazy happens. But he definitely has

Speaker 9: a chance to be a guy for sure. But Jeremiah,

Speaker 9: on the other hand, that dude's a stud bro. He's

Speaker 9: gonna the few practices that we had together, he his

Speaker 9: route running and his ability to make plays is pretty

Speaker 9: cool to watch. Yeah, so I'm excited to have him

Speaker 9: on our side for sure.

Speaker 3: Very complimentary Trey McBride. And you can understand a little

Speaker 3: bit different kind of a podcast, a little bit more relaxed.

Speaker 6: The beats.

Speaker 5: I'm glad the button works.

Speaker 6: What do those mean?

Speaker 3: You want to fill in the plane cross, But it's

Speaker 3: what you like to hear, especially from a Trey McBride,

Speaker 3: when you have a Jeremiah Love who comes in with

Speaker 3: a top five drafting and then Carson Beck, who eventually,

Speaker 3: I think is what you heard from Trey McBride. Maybe

Speaker 3: not right away, but something Beck has shown at least

Speaker 3: something here in this offseason that can that Trey McBride

Speaker 3: can see that, hey, yeah, there's a future at Carson

Speaker 3: Beck at quarterback.

Speaker 6: Yeah. And what I liked about what Trey McBride said

Speaker 6: is just the intentionality of these guys. They're withdrawn, they're quiet,

Speaker 6: they're observing, they're they're you know, they're taking it all in,

Speaker 6: and especially Carson Beck because they mentioned, you know, you

Speaker 6: wouldn't think that based on a lot what a lot

Speaker 6: of people's perceptions were of him coming into the draft,

Speaker 6: And I'll put my hand up on that one too.

Speaker 6: I totally misjudged him in terms of his personality and

Speaker 6: off the field stuff. This guy's all ball and he's

Speaker 6: here to prepare in twelve thirteen hours a day and

Speaker 6: putting in the time and he wants, truly wants to

Speaker 6: be great and so and I think the same for

Speaker 6: Jeremiah Love.

Speaker 5: I think the way that Michael Fores talked about is

Speaker 5: slow playing these guys into the mix of things. They

Speaker 5: are still learning what it's like to be a professional

Speaker 5: at the end of the day, and you also are

Speaker 5: trying to get the rest of the guys on the

Speaker 5: offense to make sure that they're caught up to speed,

Speaker 5: and you don't necessarily need to have a rookie that's

Speaker 5: there along the way. That's why you bring in guys

Speaker 5: like Gardner Minshew so that they could run the offense

Speaker 5: while Carson Beck or Jeremiah Love is still learning the

Speaker 5: ropes of what it takes to actually be a pro

Speaker 5: and to digest and understand an NFL playbook. I think

Speaker 5: it's good though that Trey McBride, he's one of the

Speaker 5: leaders on the team and what he says matters, especially

Speaker 5: what he says behind a microphone. And for him to

Speaker 5: say that both of these guys have been intentional in

Speaker 5: their approach and their process, I do take that pretty

Speaker 5: pretty strongly.

Speaker 3: We'll hear a little bit more from Trey in our

Speaker 3: next segment talking about tid End University. A little bit

Speaker 3: later on here on the Cardinals Red Seat Report presented

Speaker 3: by Dignity Health, Hello, human kindness, we will look back

Speaker 3: and hear some of the top plague by play calls

Speaker 3: from Dave Pash because the biggest news since we were

Speaker 3: last all together is that the Cardinals long time at

Speaker 3: least twenty four years, Dave Pash has stepped down and

Speaker 3: has accepted an exclusive role with ESPN. Props to him, congratulations,

Speaker 3: well deserved. But it is at our loss because it

Speaker 3: is a big loss when you lose. We always talk

Speaker 3: about face of the franchise, Well, the voice of the

Speaker 3: franchise was Dave Pash.

Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's a huge loss for not only

Speaker 6: the Arizona Cardinals, but for the NFL in general. I know,

Speaker 6: I know he's gonna carry on that role with ESPN exclusively,

Speaker 6: but man, he just over the years, over the past

Speaker 6: twenty four years, to have that constant, consistent voice that

Speaker 6: would call it straight down in the middle. He would

Speaker 6: call balls and strikes. He would he would come out

Speaker 6: and say, you know, if the Cardinals stunk, he would

Speaker 6: say they stunk. And I think when times have been

Speaker 6: tough for Arizona Cardinals fans, they needed that that honesty,

Speaker 6: they needed that cut through it kind of broadcast, and

Speaker 6: Dave Pash always brought it with with such grace and intelligence,

Speaker 6: and so you know, it's it's again, it's I think

Speaker 6: it's just going to be a big loss.

Speaker 5: Spoke the truth. Yeah, he was the voice of the fans.

Speaker 5: He was not just the voice of the organization, but

Speaker 5: he was the voice of the fans. And I think

Speaker 5: that's one of the reasons why people always find such

Speaker 5: a strong connection to their hometown broadcasters. It's going to

Speaker 5: be a change. It's bittersweet because you don't want to

Speaker 5: lose a guy like Dave Pash, But to know that

Speaker 5: he's taking a step, it's a it's a positive thing,

Speaker 5: and we're happy for the guy too.

Speaker 3: Over his twenty four years, Dave Pash a couple of

Speaker 3: NFC championship games, Super Bowl forty three.

Speaker 5: We will hear some.

Speaker 3: Of the top play by play calls from Dave Pash

Speaker 3: a little bit later on in the show, but coming

Speaker 3: up next year on the Cardinals Red Sea Reports, more

Speaker 3: what Trey McBride his time at tid End University and

Speaker 3: what anticipate seeing out of Trey coming up in twenty

Speaker 3: twenty six. That is all straight ahead. It is the

Speaker 3: Cardinals Red Sea Report, presented by Dignittyell Held the Human Kindness,

Speaker 3: Craig rail Low, Zach Gershman, and Rod Frederickson. Here on

Speaker 3: the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

Speaker 1: He set throws over the middle, it is caught by McBride.

Speaker 1: He sets a new Cardinals record for catches by a

Speaker 1: tight end, having one hundred.

Speaker 5: Bus receptions as a receiver.

Speaker 6: That's a great year as a tight end.

Speaker 5: It's a ridiculous year.

Speaker 1: Caught by McBride and pushed out of bounds. There it

Speaker 1: is Trey McBride moves pass. DeAndre Hopkins establishes a new

Speaker 1: Cardinals franchise record most catches in a season pulled in

Speaker 1: by McBride. He's tackled at the forty one. Tray McBride

Speaker 1: has set a new NFL record for catches by a

Speaker 1: tight end in a single year.

Speaker 3: What didn't Trey McBride accomplish in twenty twenty five? That's

Speaker 3: the question you have to ask. You're listening, Todave Passion,

Speaker 3: Q Shipley. There are the number of team records, the

Speaker 3: number of league records, no question, Trey McBride the number

Speaker 3: one tied end going into twenty twenty six, at least

Speaker 3: for my money. As we say, welcome back, it is

Speaker 3: the Cardinals Red Sea Report presented by Dignity Up, Hello,

Speaker 3: Human Kindness, Craig real Lo, Zach Kershman and Rob Frederickson.

Speaker 3: We heard from Trey in our first segment. We'll hear

Speaker 3: more from Trey here momentarily. But numbers aside Rob and

Speaker 3: what Trey did individually, you speak with him, whether publicly

Speaker 3: or privately. Yeah, my numbers are okay, but we didn't

Speaker 3: win or we need to win more games. And I think,

Speaker 3: answering my own question, what's next is okay? If you're

Speaker 3: Trey McBride, what more can I do? To help this

Speaker 3: team win on Sundays.

Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a great question because I don't know that

Speaker 6: there's an answer to it. What more can Trey McBride do.

Speaker 6: I think he's improved his blocking. That might have been

Speaker 6: one area where you could look to and say, hey,

Speaker 6: that's kind of a weakness. I don't think it is anymore.

Speaker 6: He's not going to ever be a dominant blocker. That's

Speaker 6: not his thing. But he's always going to put his

Speaker 6: face in front of somebody. He's always going to get

Speaker 6: in front of somebody and engage and and uh, you know,

Speaker 6: work that block. So you know, I think he's come

Speaker 6: a long way in that department. Obviously, the receiving, that's

Speaker 6: that's really what people gravitate to, and and uh, why

Speaker 6: wouldn't you it just I guess you could look back

Speaker 6: and say, you know, you just he never sealed the deal.

Speaker 6: He never would would convert those drives and get touchdowns.

Speaker 6: And boy, last year I think with Jacobe Brissett he

Speaker 6: really unlocked that, especially in the red zone. So look,

Speaker 6: Trey McBride is a total package. He's the number one

Speaker 6: tight end in my estimation in the NFL. Obviously I'm biased,

Speaker 6: but when you when you look overall at what he

Speaker 6: does and what he brings to the team. Not only that,

Speaker 6: but I mean he's a hype monster. I mean he

Speaker 6: if he can't get you up and get you fired

Speaker 6: up about foot ball, than nobody can. So for that reason, yeah,

Speaker 6: I don't think there's anything he can do. Craig.

Speaker 5: He could be very soft spoken in a lot of ways, Trey,

Speaker 5: like we could hear times in the locker room. Then

Speaker 5: there are times when he's unbusting with the boys and

Speaker 5: you get to start to see a little bit more

Speaker 5: of his competitive nature and the way that he observes

Speaker 5: the game. The question opposed to YouTube gentlemen is last

Speaker 5: year because we talked about Josh Swt landing at seventy

Speaker 5: eight on the NFL's top one hundred last year with

Speaker 5: one hundred eleven receptions one hundred and forty six yards,

Speaker 5: that being the twenty twenty four season he finished sixty

Speaker 5: fifth in the top one hundred. Now that he finished

Speaker 5: with one hundred and twenty six receptions, twelve over twelve

Speaker 5: hundred yards and eleven touchdowns, what would the where do

Speaker 5: you kind of expect for him to land in this year's.

Speaker 6: I think he's top thirty. Yeah, yeah, I think he's

Speaker 6: going to be in that area.

Speaker 5: I would even say maybe top twenty, just because he proved.

Speaker 5: And it's similar to what Aq said in the in

Speaker 5: the rejoined there when he said, like one hundred yards

Speaker 5: for a wide receiver is great. Receptions for a wide

Speaker 5: receiver is great. One hundred receptions for a tight end

Speaker 5: is unheard him. And for him to get one hundred

Speaker 5: and twenty six Craig, I could even see it in

Speaker 5: the top twenty.

Speaker 3: I certainly think top thirty, no question, and I think

Speaker 3: his profile is only increasing. We talked about tight End

Speaker 3: University with George Kittle and Travis Kelsey while those two

Speaker 3: are on the back end of their careers and Trey

Speaker 3: McBride is ascending to the point where when Tray is

Speaker 3: the guy at tight End University, and I think you're

Speaker 3: seeing that a little bit more. He was featured on ESPN.

Speaker 3: They were broadcasting live from tight End University, NFL network

Speaker 3: ransom stuff, and Trey was, along with Kittle and Kelsey,

Speaker 3: part of that triumvrent if you will, with Greg Olsen

Speaker 3: as the godfather, so to speak, running tight End University.

Speaker 3: But I think Trey is next in line, if you will,

Speaker 3: when you're talking about great tight ends in the NFL.

Speaker 3: He is great now, but he's still in that category

Speaker 3: with Travis and Kittle.

Speaker 6: It's a lot like the Pro Bowl, right, you know,

Speaker 6: you probably deserve being in the Pro Bowl, but because

Speaker 6: maybe it's your first year, you don't quite get the notorization,

Speaker 6: maybe you don't get the credit that you normally would.

Speaker 6: And I honestly, because of the recent results of the

Speaker 6: Cardinals in terms of their schedule, in terms of their

Speaker 6: wins and losses, that's a knock against him from a

Speaker 6: national perspective, and so he's got to fight all that

Speaker 6: to really ascend to that highest level. Unfairly in my estimation.

Speaker 6: But you know, because when you look at what he does,

Speaker 6: his accomplishments on the field, there really is no peer.

Speaker 5: George Kittle was always great with the forty nine ers,

Speaker 5: even in their down years, and one of the ways

Speaker 5: that he was able to kind of reach that spotlight

Speaker 5: was because the forty nine ers and everybody else around

Speaker 5: them started to improve and they started to play in

Speaker 5: a lot more of those big time games. He was

Speaker 5: always great, and now I think the national level started

Speaker 5: to pick up on it once the forty nine ers

Speaker 5: all started to improve. I think it could be a

Speaker 5: very similar case with Trey McBride in the Cardinals. Fantasy

Speaker 5: football helps in a lot of ways for Train McBride

Speaker 5: to start to become the face in that spotlight of

Speaker 5: the tight end position. But as long as the Cardinals

Speaker 5: continue to take steps, Tray McBride and along the way

Speaker 5: is also going to start to reach those new heights.

Speaker 3: And especially with a new head coach with Mike lafor

Speaker 3: and there what that might mean for Trey McBride. Remember,

Speaker 3: coming from the Los Angeles Rams, who ran three tight

Speaker 3: ends more than any other team. Cardinals by the way,

Speaker 3: third most three tight end sets. Trey McBride busting with

Speaker 3: the Boys, talked about his new head coach and what

Speaker 3: it's been like with him as the new guy running

Speaker 3: the offense.

Speaker 7: I just like the offensive minded thing. You know, he's

Speaker 7: in every offensive meeting, he's teaching the receivers tight ends

Speaker 7: how to run routes what he wants to see. So

Speaker 7: it was cool just to hear it straight from the

Speaker 7: head coach exactly what he's looking for. And he's the

Speaker 7: one in running the meetings too, so I think it's

Speaker 7: cool to have the offensive head coach again, just being

Speaker 7: on the offensive side, to have the head coach in

Speaker 7: your corner. And they love the titand and it's twelve, thirteen,

Speaker 7: fourteen to fifteen person whatever out there quarterback for this one.

Speaker 3: Five, Sure we'll have six, but yes, the case can

Speaker 3: be made to have more tight ends on the field.

Speaker 3: So that's Trey talking about Michael Lafore, how about we

Speaker 3: hear from Mike talking about Trey. This is back mid

Speaker 3: last month when the Cardinals were still involved in mini camp.

Speaker 10: I love Trey. I think this guy's the limit. For

Speaker 10: this guy, I really do. And I can say that

Speaker 10: because he's made of the right stuff, like he's about

Speaker 10: his process. I've loved the practice we've had in terms

Speaker 10: of seeing some stuff that he's done well throughout his

Speaker 10: career and then you know, trying some new stuff. It's

Speaker 10: been a pleasure to work with. I think he's been

Speaker 10: in the run game. When he said some advantageous looks

Speaker 10: with six eyes and stuff like that, I think he's

Speaker 10: done a great job of tripling. I said, you watch yourself,

Speaker 10: You're gonna have your hand down a lot. But if

Speaker 10: you keep on blocking that way too.

Speaker 3: And might be the next step for the next evolution

Speaker 3: for Trey. To your point, his blocking has improved, do

Speaker 3: we see more of it more with his hand the

Speaker 3: dirt alongside and Elijah Higgins or a Tip Ryman knock

Speaker 3: on wood. Tip is healthy now all of a sudden,

Speaker 3: what does that do for Jeremiah Love, A Tyler al Jeer,

Speaker 3: James Connor, Trey Benson, everyone in that running back room.

Speaker 3: Because if you can run the ball now, all of

Speaker 3: a sudden, it does open.

Speaker 5: Up the rest of the offense.

Speaker 6: Yeah, sure does. And thirteen personnel, so one back, three

Speaker 6: tight ends, that's going to be a lot more reps

Speaker 6: for Elijah Higgins and Tip Ryman. And I think this

Speaker 6: team really missed tip Ryman last year, especially in the

Speaker 6: run game, just the things that he can do in

Speaker 6: terms of the wham blocks and the down blocks and

Speaker 6: really clearing out the run lanes for the running backs.

Speaker 6: I think Jeremiah Love is going to certainly benefit from

Speaker 6: Tip Ryman and Elijah Higgins and obviously Trey McBride being

Speaker 6: in that thirteen personnel that the Cardinals will most likely

Speaker 6: run a fair amount.

Speaker 3: Of course, if you're running more three tight ends, sets,

Speaker 3: that's one or two less wide receivers, one or two

Speaker 3: less running backs, and all of a sudden, you're trying

Speaker 3: to figure out where are guys getting their touches and.

Speaker 5: Who do you highlight? Who do you spotlight?

Speaker 3: Bottom line is whatever is going to be successful for

Speaker 3: this offense, that's what Michael Floord is going to do.

Speaker 5: Yeah, And it's how you evolve and develop into being

Speaker 5: one of those teams. Because during Michael four A's introductory

Speaker 5: press conference, I asked them about the Rams usage of

Speaker 5: thirteen personnel and just how eager that makes him to

Speaker 5: work with Trey McBride and Elijah Higgins and Tip Briman,

Speaker 5: and he said, like, we didn't think we are going

Speaker 5: to be a thirteen personnel team. We just developed and

Speaker 5: became that as the year went along. We knew last

Speaker 5: year with Drew Petson at the Helm that as the

Speaker 5: play caller, that this was going to be a thirteen

Speaker 5: personnel team, that that was going to be what you're

Speaker 5: going to see them in a very often oftentimes being

Speaker 5: out there because of the injuries. Even though the Cardinal's

Speaker 5: still finished in the top three and thirteen personnel usage

Speaker 5: that came on the heels of not having Tip Briman

Speaker 5: out there and being down in so many games. So

Speaker 5: I think Michael four he comes to this team saying, Okay,

Speaker 5: in the past with the Rams, we had to figure

Speaker 5: out if that's the type of team we wanted to be,

Speaker 5: be that thirteen personnel team. He now joins the Cardinals

Speaker 5: and he says, all right, we already have thirteen personnel

Speaker 5: built in here. How can we develop it and evolve

Speaker 5: it to make it something that we could use our

Speaker 5: advantage to your points act. Last season, the Rams number

Speaker 5: one and three tight end sets. In twenty twenty four,

Speaker 5: they ranked thirtieth yep. So how do you adapt to

Speaker 5: your personnel and how do you bring the best out

Speaker 5: of the players you have because of injuries or what

Speaker 5: is working what is not working in order to be successful?

Speaker 5: And Michaelafoor, along with Sean mcvah and the Rams last

Speaker 5: season showed how they were able to adapt even mid

Speaker 5: season with their offense.

Speaker 3: Coming up next here on the Cardinals Red Sea Report

Speaker 3: presented by Dignity Help. Hello, human Kindness. As I mentioned

Speaker 3: training camp two weeks from tomorrow, Well, there's some of

Speaker 3: the the top camp battles we'll be having our eye on.

Speaker 5: We know that. Next here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio network.

Speaker 6: With a thirty fourth fig.

Speaker 5: In a twenty twenty six NFL draft, the Arizona Cardinals

Speaker 5: select Chase Bysontis, star Texas.

Speaker 11: AMM thought he had a chance to go in the

Speaker 11: first and when he fell to the second, we took him.

Speaker 5: I was like, Yes, this kid is a stud. So

Speaker 5: he brings nastiness.

Speaker 11: He's physical, he's got the size, he's got that Northeast

Speaker 11: mentality of like, hey, like shits me against the world,

Speaker 11: back against the wall. I just love everything this kid brings.

Speaker 3: The announcement by James Connor, the evaluation by a Q

Speaker 3: Shipley talking about Chase Bisontis, who the Cardinals selected in

Speaker 3: the second round.

Speaker 5: Is he your starting right?

Speaker 6: Gr Yeah? Why is that a Northeast mentality? What do

Speaker 6: you say? A cute talking about there? What is that?

Speaker 3: Do I since some Midwest what would you call?

Speaker 6: Yes?

Speaker 3: Okay, so Midwestern versus Northeast tension here?

Speaker 6: I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 5: As the Northeast guy sitting here, I agree with AQ.

Speaker 6: Your lobster roles, let's let's play football.

Speaker 5: I agree with AQ. There's something about being in Jersey

Speaker 5: City that it's going to make you, uh tough. And

Speaker 5: I think that.

Speaker 3: In other words, to paraphraser put words in Zack's mouth,

Speaker 3: he's calling you soft, Rob from where you grew up.

Speaker 6: Apparently that's okay.

Speaker 5: Look, look, Rob still looks like he could play in

Speaker 5: the NFL. I am not saying that at all. Let's

Speaker 5: make sure this is clear. I'm just saying that Chase

Speaker 5: Besontas is a little bit different in his own ways,

Speaker 5: not in comparison to Rob Frederickson, but Chase pasts is

Speaker 5: still he's that guy.

Speaker 6: Well, Zach, you can say whatever you want, call me

Speaker 6: whatever you want, as long as Chase Bysontis proves you correct.

Speaker 5: I hope so, because not just me, but proves the

Speaker 5: fact that a lot of people have already penciled him

Speaker 5: to be that starting right guard. And I think that

Speaker 5: in the case of Isaiah Adams, this time of year

Speaker 5: last year, everybody was penciling him in to be the

Speaker 5: starting right guard, and going into training camp, he looked

Speaker 5: really strong, struggled to open up the season. You have

Speaker 5: to now see though there is going to be a competition.

Speaker 5: Last year this time of year, Will Hernandez was not

Speaker 5: in the building, the Cardinals had not signed him. It

Speaker 5: was Isaiah Adams spot and he looked strong in training camp. Now,

Speaker 5: going into this camp, there is a battle between Chase

Speaker 5: and Isaiah Adams. We talked in the last segment about

Speaker 5: easing in the rookies. Once training camp starts, They're not

Speaker 5: going to be eased in anymore. It's going to be

Speaker 5: full go now.

Speaker 3: During OTA's in mini camp, during the open portion of practice,

Speaker 3: it was Isaiah Adams running with the first team and

Speaker 3: Chase Besontis was with the second team. Now does that

Speaker 3: hold true throughout training camp in preseason?

Speaker 6: Who knows?

Speaker 3: Adams last season eleven starts started the first five, got benched,

Speaker 3: and then started the last six. So he began the

Speaker 3: season and ended the season.

Speaker 5: As the starters.

Speaker 3: What happened in between something Adams talked about during the year.

Speaker 12: I think it was like a huge wake up call,

Speaker 12: kind of get your dreams taken from you, and then

Speaker 12: there's only kind of two options to either fold. Are

Speaker 12: you kind of taking on the chin? So it was

Speaker 12: good to get reset in other areas of my life

Speaker 12: and address those areas off the field that may be

Speaker 12: impacted on the field. So it meant a lot to

Speaker 12: me that is probably going to remember that for the

Speaker 12: rest of my career.

Speaker 3: The right mindset for a player who loses their job

Speaker 3: able to regain it. Now, the question is can he

Speaker 3: hold off a Chase basantis coming for his job as

Speaker 3: a second round pick talking about Chase Adams was a

Speaker 3: third round selection. Now, draft positioning matters some, but once

Speaker 3: you get on the field to play Roberts, who's more talented,

Speaker 3: not where were you selected?

Speaker 6: Yeah, I think draft positioning matters, like if you're a

Speaker 6: top ten pick, but second round, third round, it's best player,

Speaker 6: best player, gonna play. And I'd love to see this

Speaker 6: be a true open competition. I'd love to see it

Speaker 6: open up to some other players too. You know, I'm

Speaker 6: a I'm a huge fan. I have great affinity for

Speaker 6: John Gaines and I think the world of that guy,

Speaker 6: just the way he plays through the whistle and his

Speaker 6: tenacity and toughness and dog which I think the old

Speaker 6: line needs more of. But you know, he's a little raw,

Speaker 6: so you know that's that's that's coaching, and that's that

Speaker 6: needs to be he You know, some guys on this

Speaker 6: offensive line roster, they they need some coaching up they

Speaker 6: need some refinement in terms of their techniques, but I'm

Speaker 6: looking forward to seeing how this all kind of works

Speaker 6: out at that right guard position.

Speaker 3: It's the only position, at least in my mind, up

Speaker 3: for grabs along the offensive line. Now, as far as

Speaker 3: the rest of the offense, okay, you can talk about quarterback,

Speaker 3: running back, I do believe at some point Jeremiah Love

Speaker 3: is going to be that guy, even though it was

Speaker 3: Tyler Algier during the offseason. And then tight end, well,

Speaker 3: that's Trey McBride, wide receiver, one, A, one B, your

Speaker 3: ex you'r wy, it's Marvin Harrison Junior and Michael Wilson.

Speaker 3: So to me, the true battle, at least that I

Speaker 3: see it offensively, is that right guard. Everything else is okay.

Speaker 3: Guys are gonna get their touch, is gonna get their

Speaker 3: playing time. But when you get that name announced at

Speaker 3: the beginning of the game with that first snap, right

Speaker 3: guard to me is still kind of in pencil.

Speaker 5: I think too. Matt Pryor is a name, a guy

Speaker 5: who played for the Philadelphia Eagles, tons of experience both

Speaker 5: on the left side of the line and the right

Speaker 5: side of the line. I've seen him in these practices.

Speaker 5: He is big, huge, and I think that is something

Speaker 5: that on the interior of the offensive line. How much

Speaker 5: of a threat that that poses to the opposing defensive

Speaker 5: line because of just having so many big bodies that

Speaker 5: are going to be out there, and to plug him

Speaker 5: next to Elijah Wilkinson, to have another big body out

Speaker 5: there the right side of the offensive line, I think

Speaker 5: is the one that a lot of fans have talked

Speaker 5: about in the ways that the Cardinals feel like they

Speaker 5: have improved the position is the fact that they brought

Speaker 5: in a lot will Consinu, who started every game for

Speaker 5: the Atlanta Falcons last season at right tackle, replacing Joonah

Speaker 5: Williams from the year prior, and then that change at

Speaker 5: right guard by drafting Chase Bysontis. Everybody wanted the Cardinals

Speaker 5: to take an offensive lineman early and to try to

Speaker 5: shore up that union. They made the biggest offensive line

Speaker 5: move by bringing in Isaac Saamaalu at left guard in

Speaker 5: free agency. He was the best guy, the best offensive

Speaker 5: lineman tier offensive lineman outside of Tyre Lindenbaum from the Ravens.

Speaker 5: To see what he was able to do in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 5: He was kind of the guy out there for the Steelers,

Speaker 5: Isaaca Malu. You brought in the big fish and free agency. Congrats.

Speaker 5: Now you need that right side of the line. I

Speaker 5: think Chase Basantis and Isaiah Adams, Matt Pryor, you know

Speaker 5: all these other guys, John Gains, Hayden Connor. There's going

Speaker 5: to be a lot of competition, not just for who's

Speaker 5: gonna be right guard one, but who's going to be

Speaker 5: right guard two and right guard three, and so on

Speaker 5: and so forth. Matt Pryor listed at six seven, three

Speaker 5: thirty two and he's got twenty five career starts at

Speaker 5: right guards.

Speaker 6: I mean, just get in front of people. You don't

Speaker 6: have to move him. Just get in front. They won't

Speaker 6: be able to see it down here.

Speaker 3: Yeah, make it difficult to get into the backfield. As

Speaker 3: far as defensive battles, when we talk about training camp,

Speaker 3: is it cornerback? Is it the inside linebacker position next

Speaker 3: to Mac Wilson. How many inside linebackers are you actually

Speaker 3: going to see starts and play a lot? Could it

Speaker 3: be just mack by himself because you play with an

Speaker 3: extra dB, or you're an extra edge rusher, an extra

Speaker 3: defensive lineman. So probably cornerback might be where who's opposite

Speaker 3: Will Johnson or is it Will Johnson Denzel Burke and

Speaker 3: then we figure out the rest who might be three,

Speaker 3: four and five.

Speaker 6: Yeah. I think the way Denzel Burke played last year

Speaker 6: when he was kind of thrust into that role and

Speaker 6: just just the competitiveness and the way he performed certainly

Speaker 6: gives him a leg up in my estimation. Now, Max Melton,

Speaker 6: He's highly drafted and you know, there was a lot

Speaker 6: of good thinking about him coming out and you know,

Speaker 6: for whatever reason, uh yeah, maybe some some injuries, but

Speaker 6: he just didn't perform consistently and I may have landed

Speaker 6: him a little bit in the doghouse. And so we'll

Speaker 6: see where he does and start. Star Thomas coming back,

Speaker 6: I think is a good player that that could have

Speaker 6: a role in this as well.

Speaker 5: I would also say Key Trell Clark is another name

Speaker 5: just because of his experience and towards the back end

Speaker 5: of the season, because of the injuries, he was somebody

Speaker 5: that was out there quite a bit. So I think

Speaker 5: that that's somebody to keep in mind. But I would

Speaker 5: say the wild card though in all of this, is

Speaker 5: Starling Thomas. The experience that he has as an every

Speaker 5: game starter prior to his injury, coming in as an

Speaker 5: undrafted guy. Those guys play with a chip on their shoulder,

Speaker 5: and the chip on their stilt on their shoulder stays

Speaker 5: with them all throughout their career. I was just watching

Speaker 5: Kendrick Bourn's vlog. He was out with the with the rookies,

Speaker 5: some of the rookies wide receivers, with Reggie Virgil and

Speaker 5: Trey Wallace, Harrison Wallace the third, and he was talking

Speaker 5: about Trey and said, like Sun Draft guys, they have

Speaker 5: a chip on their shoulder, and I think that it's

Speaker 5: very similar for guys like Darling Thomas.

Speaker 6: You know, real quick changing positions. You mentioned Mac Wilson.

Speaker 6: I think I don't know who's the defensive MVP last season,

Speaker 6: but I think it was him. It should have been him,

Speaker 6: even though he was hurt for most of the season.

Speaker 6: Without him, that defense went south and win south quick.

Speaker 6: He is the emotional heart of that defense. He gets

Speaker 6: everybody lined up and he is physical and fast. So

Speaker 6: we got to come up with somebody that's going to

Speaker 6: play opposite of him. Is it going to be Gibbons,

Speaker 6: Is it going to be Cody Simon who saw a

Speaker 6: lot of time last ye.

Speaker 5: Well, the defensive Player of the Year according to Cardinals

Speaker 5: Awards last year was Josh Sweat and Mack Wilson Senior

Speaker 5: did get a vote, but it was Josh Swat by far.

Speaker 6: Yeah.

Speaker 3: By the way, Cody Simon nine starts last season, Jack

Speaker 3: Gibbons eight starts last season. Now with the Arizona Cardinals,

Speaker 3: how does that inside linebacker room shake out?

Speaker 5: Moving forward training camp? July? Twenty seconds is when players

Speaker 5: report when we come back.

Speaker 3: We tip our cap to Dave Pash. Next on the

Speaker 3: Arizona Cardinals radio.

Speaker 1: Network, First and goal on the two Cardinal's looking to

Speaker 1: tie the game. Snapda Palmer gonna throw lops at left

Speaker 1: side of the end zone for fits. He's on the

Speaker 1: ground and he still bought it for cent Drey Mark for.

Speaker 13: Larry Fitzgerald career touchdown number.

Speaker 1: One hundred and the Cardinals tie the game at twenty.

Speaker 8: You'll light him up in the slot and throw the fade.

Speaker 8: Larry touches the ball as he's going down and somehow

Speaker 8: nd into his helmet.

Speaker 5: What a catch by Larry. Should we expect anything else?

Speaker 1: A historic moment and a ridiculous catch for the future

Speaker 1: Hall of Famer.

Speaker 3: The one hundredth Larry Fitzgerald's career came against the New

Speaker 3: England hatreots back in twenty sixteen. As we say welcome back,

Speaker 3: it is the Cardinals Red Report presented by Dignity Up

Speaker 3: although Human Kindness, Craig rail Low, Zach Gershman, and Rob Frederickson.

Speaker 3: As we teased off the top, Dave Pash after twenty

Speaker 3: four seasons, is stepping down as play by play voice

Speaker 3: of the Arizona Cardinals, now exclusive to ESPN. Very good,

Speaker 3: excellent for Pash, but it does leave a large hole

Speaker 3: for the Arizona Cardinals that will be filled at some

Speaker 3: point before the season begins. But with that said, how

Speaker 3: about we take a look back or listen back to

Speaker 3: some of the best moments. By the way, I was

Speaker 3: not a part of this committee, this panel that came

Speaker 3: up with the top five play by play calls, so

Speaker 3: feel free to disagree. For those listening as well, feel

Speaker 3: free to disagree and direct all hate mail or just

Speaker 3: mail to Cody Fincher.

Speaker 6: Yeah, because I didn't see a poll out there. I

Speaker 6: must have missed the poll where we the fans ranked these.

Speaker 5: One of our values as an organation is to value

Speaker 5: every voice.

Speaker 6: Oh well said speaking, We value you.

Speaker 3: Cody speaking voices Dave Pash with number five on the

Speaker 3: top five. Dave Pash calls as play by play voice

Speaker 3: of the Arizona Cardinals.

Speaker 1: Hopkins to the left, three receivers to the right. Cardinals

Speaker 1: trail by four. They're out of timeouts. Eleven seconds left

Speaker 1: in the game. First down at the Buffalo forty three.

Speaker 1: Now the Bills dropped two men back twenty five yards downfield.

Speaker 1: Murray back to throw, flushed out, rolling left, in trouble,

Speaker 1: slips a tackle, Gotta launch it. He does left side

Speaker 1: into the end zone, jump ball and it is Is

Speaker 1: it caught?

Speaker 13: Is it caught? Oh my goodness, it's caught. DeAndre Hopkins

Speaker 13: caught it. Hey caught it for a duckdown with one

Speaker 13: second left. I can't believe it. You've gotta be joking me.

Speaker 13: Hopkins reaches up with three defenders around him. He pulls

Speaker 13: it in the hard just laid at thirty two to

Speaker 13: thirty quit a second lap the hill.

Speaker 3: Murray in twenty twenty against the Buffalo Bills. If you

Speaker 3: listen real closely, you can hear a little bit more

Speaker 3: than what you typically hear, as far as nat sound

Speaker 3: because you heard a lot of play by play in

Speaker 3: there from the calls on the field. That's because there

Speaker 3: were hardly any fans in the stands at State Farm

Speaker 3: Stadium because twenty twenty that was the COVID year.

Speaker 5: So you heard a little bit more from what was

Speaker 5: happening on the field amongst the players. But you also

Speaker 5: heard the emotion from passion. That's why I think the

Speaker 5: fans are definitely gonna be missing. So that was number five,

Speaker 5: all right.

Speaker 3: So from five, we'll go to number four on the

Speaker 3: top five day patch. Play by playfall third and.

Speaker 1: Five of the twenty five yard line of Green Bay,

Speaker 1: A minute gone by in overtime. Three receivers right and

Speaker 1: one to the left. Huge play for the Cardinal defense trying.

Speaker 5: To get it for their offense.

Speaker 1: Shotgun snap, Rogers dropping back, trouble Rodgers hit, fuck it up.

Speaker 13: Cardinals had a dance may please get a star there

Speaker 13: doing it or Carlos dance me took it away from Rogers,

Speaker 13: took it to the house.

Speaker 1: Fifty one forty five the Cardinals beat the Packers.

Speaker 5: It looked like a fumble.

Speaker 1: Adams hit Rogers and then the ball hit Rogers foot

Speaker 1: and popped up into the air, Dansby grabbed it and

Speaker 1: ran for a touchdown.

Speaker 3: The two thousand and nine NFC Wild Card game against

Speaker 3: the Green Bay Packers. Always when the Cardinals and Packers

Speaker 3: mets and meets in the postseason wild finishes, whether it's

Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers with one two Hell Mary's or Kurt Warner

Speaker 3: with more touchdown passes than in completions. But that was

Speaker 3: an exciting game once again at State Farm Stadium.

Speaker 5: It's also the realization of we're going to New Orleans.

Speaker 5: I think that's the best part of that call is

Speaker 5: because you hear the excitement of the playoffs. It's survive

Speaker 5: in advance or it's to go home.

Speaker 6: Man.

Speaker 5: The Cardinals just kept on going along.

Speaker 3: So that was two thousand and nine. We're down to

Speaker 3: number three here on the top five play by play calls.

Speaker 3: I'm trying to build suspense here because we all have

Speaker 3: our favorite pass play by play calls and favorite pash

Speaker 3: moments that he called. This might be number one for

Speaker 3: somebody comes in at number three here on the Cardinals

Speaker 3: Red Sea report.

Speaker 1: Second and ten at the Cardinal thirty six twins left,

Speaker 1: twins right, Warner and the gun Errington flanks into his left,

Speaker 1: Cardinals moving left to right, Warner to pass with time,

Speaker 1: fires over.

Speaker 5: The middle of the Fits caught it.

Speaker 13: The forty five fifty fits loos forty thirty goodbye hed five.

Speaker 13: Cardinals lead touchdown Larry.

Speaker 1: Fitzgerald a sixty four yard touchdown pass by Warner to Fitzgerald.

Speaker 1: Then the Cardinals lead Super Bowl forty three with two

Speaker 1: thirty seven to go.

Speaker 5: Okay, So couple of things here.

Speaker 3: One, I still get goosebumps every time I hear that

Speaker 3: play by play and then the final words with two

Speaker 3: three seven to go, because we all know what happened.

Speaker 3: Cardinals did not finish off super Bowl forty three and

Speaker 3: ultimately lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Speaker 6: Yeah, and I wish we had the last play of

Speaker 6: the first half, the James Harrison long run and just

Speaker 6: the disgust from Dave Pash that you could hear. You know,

Speaker 6: I know this is his best calls, but that call

Speaker 6: to me, just man, that was so hard for every

Speaker 6: Cardinals fan to swallow.

Speaker 5: We talk about it being the voice of the fans.

Speaker 5: He felt that heartbreak and that's what that was conveyed

Speaker 5: through that call.

Speaker 3: So the Larry Fitzgerald touchdown for sixty four yards probably

Speaker 3: could have been higher, maybe even number one, if the

Speaker 3: Cardinals had finished off Super Bowl forty three. I think

Speaker 3: that's why it came in at number three. So that

Speaker 3: leaves two and this next one might be my favorites.

Speaker 3: One for Dave Pash as play by play voice to

Speaker 3: the Aarzona Cardinals second down and.

Speaker 5: Goal at the five.

Speaker 6: They put Palmer in the gun.

Speaker 5: They can win it with a touchdown.

Speaker 1: They motioned John Brown on the near side, snapped to Palmer, rolls.

Speaker 5: Out and it's a pitch to Fitz.

Speaker 2: Rennicks redhead hit to.

Speaker 13: The ends un of the shovel pass and the touchdown

Speaker 13: of the win the Cardinals at Dance to the NFC

Speaker 13: Championship game on a shovel pass of all things, and

Speaker 13: one of the craziest games ever fits on the shovel

Speaker 13: pass scores and the Cardinals winning it overtime twenty six

Speaker 13: to twenty eight, and Fitz.

Speaker 1: Does it again in the playoffs. He has been a

Speaker 1: legend in the postseason. He set the record in two

Speaker 1: thousand and eight two thousand and nine with the most catches,

Speaker 1: receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns in a single postseason. He

Speaker 1: came back and had a touchdown of the win over

Speaker 1: Green Bay in overtime. Six years later, another overtime win

Speaker 1: against the Packers the playoffs, and it's Larry Fitzgerald with

Speaker 1: two big plays. He had all the yards on that drive,

Speaker 1: seventy five yards on the pass and then five yards

Speaker 1: on the shovel pass for a touchdown. He finishes with

Speaker 1: eight catches a buck seventy six of a game winning score.

Speaker 1: And I got no voice left, really wish.

Speaker 3: That this one was two highlights combined into one, because

Speaker 3: as you heard pass describe, Larry Fitzgerald accounted for all

Speaker 3: yards on that drive two plays. It was Carson Palmer

Speaker 3: dropping back to pass, hitting in his own offensive lineman,

Speaker 3: escaping pressure, finding a wide open Fits in the left

Speaker 3: flat for whatever reason, waft wide open and Fits nearly

Speaker 3: scored on that play, came up five yards short, and

Speaker 3: then finished it off with a little shovel pass.

Speaker 5: The zigzagging through the open field and the dreads flying

Speaker 5: in the background of It's the it's the memory that

Speaker 5: a lot of people are going to think about when

Speaker 5: fitz is enshrined later in August, and that particular play

Speaker 5: or that particular game on Sunday Night Football with Al

Speaker 5: Michaels and Chris Collinsworth, and on the TV broadcast, you

Speaker 5: hear Collinsworth interrupts al Michaels saying, if he scores, it's over. Ultimately,

Speaker 5: Fits didn't score, but he would later score on the

Speaker 5: next play.

Speaker 6: Don't interrupt al Michaels.

Speaker 3: Ever, that's a valuable lesson to learn. But in that moment,

Speaker 3: it did kind of capture what everyone was feeling at

Speaker 3: the time. So we are down to number one the

Speaker 3: top five play by play calls for day Pass during

Speaker 3: his twenty four year run with the Arizona Cardinals.

Speaker 1: Nine seconds to go until Tampa Cardinals lead it thirty

Speaker 1: two to twenty five over the Eagles. First down for

Speaker 1: Philly on its seven yard line, McNabb and the shotgun

Speaker 1: receiver to the left and three to the right. McNabb's

Speaker 1: got it, drops to throw fires over the middle, caught

Speaker 1: by Jackson. Here's the latter role on the far side

Speaker 1: of the ball. It's loose, it's fumble pick up by Jackson,

Speaker 1: far side, breaks it down the fifteen letters.

Speaker 13: It again pick off by Docket Tucking running near side

Speaker 13: of the fifteenth tucking inside the ten that's it. The

Speaker 13: Cardinals have shot the world.

Speaker 2: Try for true. The Cards have done.

Speaker 13: We're going to Super Bowl forty three.

Speaker 3: Not a surprise that that would be number one on

Speaker 3: this list, because as we talked about the voice of

Speaker 3: the fans, you could hear the passion and then the

Speaker 3: excitement again. Another game that was at State Farm Stadium,

Speaker 3: and the unthinkable happens, the Cardinals advanced.

Speaker 6: To the Super Bowl. I remember that game. It was

Speaker 6: so loud in there in that moment. I mean I

Speaker 6: felt like you're standing two feet away from a subwoofer

Speaker 6: at a Metallica concert or something. It was so loud,

Speaker 6: and you know, Dave Pash perfectly encapsulated that emotion there

Speaker 6: in that call. So I kind of agree with that

Speaker 6: being number one.

Speaker 3: So no issues with the list of five that Cody

Speaker 3: came up with. No, So we're in agreement that Cody,

Speaker 3: great job, great list.

Speaker 5: Well, can we confirm that Cody did come up with

Speaker 5: this list? First, we're just gonna gerected all the mail

Speaker 5: towards him. We're just gonna give him. We'll give him

Speaker 5: the credit for those that are not here. Cody gets

Speaker 5: the credit, all right, I understand. I do like that

Speaker 5: last call are the number one call on the list

Speaker 5: because it's the shock the world mentality. Everyone was kind

Speaker 5: of expecting Philadelphia to make their way to the Super

Speaker 5: Bowl that year, and the Cardinals did shock the world

Speaker 5: by at their own stadium at State Farm Stadium.

Speaker 3: Twenty four years as the voice of the Arizona Cardinals

Speaker 3: with hash nothing but the Best now with ESPN still

Speaker 3: will be around. He's not moving out of the state

Speaker 3: of Arizona. He's still gonna call Arizona home, but we'll

Speaker 3: no longer call Arizona Cardinals football games and that is

Speaker 3: going to be something that we will all miss. Hey,

Speaker 3: we will be back next week. Is we missed everyone

Speaker 3: last week? We're back on our regular Tuesday schedule, getting

Speaker 3: closer and closer to training camp. Special thanks to everyone

Speaker 3: behind the scenes, our executive producer Mamma and producer Cody Fincher,

Speaker 3: Technical director Ryan Sacora for Zach Gershman, Rob Friderckson, I'm

Speaker 3: preg Rielou. We'll talk to you in one week's time

Speaker 3: here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

Speaker 2: You've been listening to the Cardinals Red Sea Report.

Speaker 1: Foot a Baker with the Sack, strip the.

Speaker 2: Ball presented by Dignity Health. Hello human kindness.

Speaker 1: And what a pick at the thirty five yard line

Speaker 1: by Mack Wilson. An incredible play hot by McBride pen

Speaker 1: It's a touchdown. I absolutely love the way that Trey

Speaker 1: McBride plays football.

Speaker 13: Touchdown, Cardinals win.

Speaker 4: This has been an exclusive presentation of the Arizona Cardinals

Speaker 4: Football Club.
