Cardinals Cover 2 - Jeremiyah Love, Carson Beck Join Entire Rookie Class On The Field
Ep. 1007 - It was just the start, but no less important. For the first time since the draft, the rookie class, including first-round pick Jeremiyah Love, was on the field, wearing Cardinals gear and doing football-related activities. It wasn’t a full-blown practice, but it did represent the first time this group of players experienced life in the NFL. Their college days are no more. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what they saw and, more importantly, what they heard both on and off the field during rookie minicamp; from Love describing how he plans to handle his life-changing money to Carson Beck and head coach Mike LaFleur talking about the importance of a quarterback’s cadence. Plus, we now know when the 2026 schedule will be released.

Speaker 1: The rookies are here, first time in the building, first
Speaker 1: time on the field. God, Zach Gerstman, Whipenberg Gang, what
Speaker 1: we see, more importantly, what we hear from the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty sixth draft class. Plus this is the week the
Speaker 1: schedule is released. It's Cardinals Cover two and it starts now.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Cardinals Cover two.
Speaker 3: Who to Baker?
Speaker 1: What Art?
Speaker 3: What rent? This guy's unbelievable.
Speaker 2: Cardinals Cover two is presented by Hyundai, proud partner of
Speaker 2: the Arizona Cardinals, and by Arizona Cardinals Podcast visit Azycardinals
Speaker 2: dot Com, slash podcast cop.
Speaker 3: Right Up the five, hit the ends up for the
Speaker 3: Cardinal touchdown.
Speaker 1: Drey McBride, He's been an absolute monster.
Speaker 2: Here's Craig Griolo.
Speaker 3: So there is.
Speaker 1: Great synergy, I believe, among the proteins here in Arizona.
Speaker 1: And I say that because I want to bring up
Speaker 1: something that was informed or at least acknowledged by the
Speaker 1: gentleman sitting across from me, and that would be young
Speaker 1: Zach Gershman, who revealed a certain record of his when
Speaker 1: attending Arizona Diamondbacks games. Unfortunately, this record doesn't translate to
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. But it does, I think, say a
Speaker 1: lot about the synergy that we here in the Dignity
Speaker 1: Health Arizona Cardinals Training Center can bring to other teams.
Speaker 4: So I have attended eleven Arizona Diamondbacks games. My eleventh
Speaker 4: was this weekend, and I'm eleven to zero in attendance
Speaker 4: at Dbacks game.
Speaker 3: So I'm not saying.
Speaker 4: They need to give me season tickets, but if you do,
Speaker 4: you know I could help.
Speaker 1: You might just want to find your way to chase
Speaker 1: feel a little bit more often.
Speaker 3: Who is the kid that they just called up?
Speaker 4: Ryan Walsh Ryan Walshman, Oh, Cody, you know once again,
Speaker 4: team hit over here, Cody Fincher.
Speaker 3: I'll go in on some season tickets with you. It
Speaker 3: means we win somewhere.
Speaker 4: Look, all I'm saying is I know when I'm in
Speaker 4: attendance it's eleven and oh I'm not sure, Cody. What
Speaker 4: I do know, though, is you know, there was a
Speaker 4: lot of excitement around his first game, and I didn't
Speaker 4: even realize I was in attendance for his first game,
Speaker 4: or at least I think it was his first game,
Speaker 4: first start, first series, first start, and they really should
Speaker 4: have been excited about me. Walking into the building, because
Speaker 4: you know, at least when I walk in, they know
Speaker 4: it's going to be an automatic w put the duves
Speaker 4: in the air.
Speaker 1: You were walking in with what Diamondbacks gear or just
Speaker 1: no regular.
Speaker 4: Black shirt, white pants, h and an Arizona Cardinals hat
Speaker 4: representing try my best. I try to elevate the brand
Speaker 4: anywhere we can because I try to bring that synergy together.
Speaker 4: I want the Diamondbacks to fill the support from the
Speaker 4: Cardinals in as the representative and attendance. You're welcome eleven
Speaker 4: and oh that's a good record. We'll have to when
Speaker 4: the rookies go back to Chase Field and we'll have
Speaker 4: Jeremiah Love likely throwing out the first pitch. It's a
Speaker 4: kind of a yearly tradition for the rookies to go
Speaker 4: attend a Diamondbacks game and then that first round pick
Speaker 4: throws out that first pitch. I've seen back to back
Speaker 4: wins with that. So if I when I go again,
Speaker 4: whenever that game does take place, then the record will
Speaker 4: once again be tested.
Speaker 1: Okay, see, now the pressure is on now that we've
Speaker 1: officially acknowledged it's this pressure for me.
Speaker 3: It's got my team. Sorry about it, but.
Speaker 1: You want to maintain that, of course record.
Speaker 4: Of course, well, I mean, I just think it's cool
Speaker 4: that it's happened this long. I mean to I think
Speaker 4: I could have bought like a mini season ticket package
Speaker 4: and have been undefeated at that rate it is.
Speaker 1: It is pretty impressive. So we'll keep an eye on that.
Speaker 1: You bring up attendance and the rookies and this past
Speaker 1: weekend rookie mini camp.
Speaker 3: I like that transition, sir.
Speaker 1: Sixteen total players. There were seven draft picks, seven undrafted
Speaker 1: rookie and then two quote unquote veterans, if you will,
Speaker 1: wide receiver Tejon Palmer and tied end Rivoldo fairweather. So
Speaker 1: sixteen players, not a lot.
Speaker 3: It was one.
Speaker 1: It was good weather, eighty six degrees awesome on Friday,
Speaker 1: better than it was if today was the start of
Speaker 1: Rooking mini camp. Because I just checked Zack, it is
Speaker 1: ninety eight degrees here on a Monday before noon.
Speaker 3: That's not fun.
Speaker 1: No, it is not. We are inching closer and closer
Speaker 1: to where. Yeah, this is where it's not all that
Speaker 1: fun to be in Arizona.
Speaker 4: I walked to my car from practice on Friday, and
Speaker 4: even though it's said, you know, it was not that bad.
Speaker 4: We were also shaded and underneath the media tree. My
Speaker 4: car said it was in the low one hundreds, and
Speaker 4: I was like, man, this is hot as the heck.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is summers in Arizona. You gotta get used
Speaker 1: to it. Even for those of us who have been
Speaker 1: here a long time still don't get used to it.
Speaker 1: But on Friday, inside of the Cardinals, the rookies were
Speaker 1: on the field Friday Well attended, Michael Bidwell was out there,
Speaker 1: Monty Austin Ford's a lot of the front office personnel
Speaker 1: and scouts. What we did see was not a whole
Speaker 1: heck of a lot, and I'll be honest with everyone.
Speaker 1: We saw a team stretch. We saw some position drills
Speaker 1: as far as guys working to be gunners, and then
Speaker 1: a lot of position drills. The rookies were spread out
Speaker 1: amongst their own position coaches. I believe the most at
Speaker 1: any one position, I think.
Speaker 3: Was two offensive line at three.
Speaker 1: Three, okay, offensive lineman there were three. But other than that,
Speaker 1: there was a lot of one on one time.
Speaker 4: Lots of it, especially when you look at Jeremiah Love
Speaker 4: on the far field and he was working with coach
Speaker 4: Matt Merritt. And then you looked at quarterback Carson Beck
Speaker 4: and he was working with the Daniel Hackett and Matt Chobb,
Speaker 4: Cam Robertson where it was working with Matt Feeney, the
Speaker 4: outside linebackers coach. So there was a lot of one
Speaker 4: on one attention and I think that's a good little
Speaker 4: smooth transition before they all get together on Monday and
Speaker 4: they all start practicing together.
Speaker 1: And that's what head coach Michael Laflor was mentioning that
Speaker 1: what we saw over the weekend that rookie minicamp was
Speaker 1: simply an extension of the class work and what you
Speaker 1: were being taught, told, instructed in your position room. Could
Speaker 1: you take it out onto the football field again, not
Speaker 1: at full speed, not even at half speed.
Speaker 2: But.
Speaker 1: Can you figure out what you're being told to do
Speaker 1: and do it with the instructions of one on one
Speaker 1: or one on two, one on three without having the
Speaker 1: entire team and everyone staring at you.
Speaker 4: Well, that's because he said once once it's go time,
Speaker 4: it's go time. You know, the veterans, they understand that
Speaker 4: they're all competing starting today or whenever they actually do
Speaker 4: get out on the field altogether, and they recognize, like
Speaker 4: you were here to put food on my plate, and
Speaker 4: I'm here to put food on yours. And we do
Speaker 4: that by making each other better. And we do that
Speaker 4: by winning some football games and making some money while
Speaker 4: doing it. And as a professional, you don't have time
Speaker 4: to slowly adjust your way into it because that impacts
Speaker 4: everybody else around you. So a lot of these rookies,
Speaker 4: I mean, from what we were able to see, they
Speaker 4: all come from big Power five institutions for the most part,
Speaker 4: unless you're Caleb Procter, who comes from the FCS level,
Speaker 4: but you already kind of have that level of professionalism.
Speaker 4: That's what NIL has done to a lot of these
Speaker 4: guys is they've turned them into professionals a little bit
Speaker 4: faster than they otherwise might have been. But it's a
Speaker 4: whole different ballgame when you start practicing and you were
Speaker 4: wearing the shield and the bird head on your helmet.
Speaker 4: So I do think it's going to be a little bit.
Speaker 3: Of a transition.
Speaker 4: But if you're a rookie, you can't make it seem like, man,
Speaker 4: I'm drowning right now, because you're going to have an
Speaker 4: All Pro player right next to you that's going to
Speaker 4: say we'll pick it up. We all got to do
Speaker 4: this together.
Speaker 1: A lot of the attention, a lot of people focused
Speaker 1: on Jeremiah Love Carson Beck. Unfortunately, where we were positioned
Speaker 1: on the practice fields was about as far away as
Speaker 1: possible that you could get practice fields, and watching what
Speaker 1: Jeremiah was doing, watching what Carson was doing, we did
Speaker 1: see them interact together. It was basically Carson Beck taking
Speaker 1: the snap under center, which he has experience with in college,
Speaker 1: but under center, working handoffs and then I thought was interesting.
Speaker 1: And then he would roll out almost like a play action,
Speaker 1: and a football would be tossed to him, and then
Speaker 1: Carson would take that football and throw it. So it
Speaker 1: was almost you're doing two different things in one drop back,
Speaker 1: which again you're utilizing the time that you have on
Speaker 1: the football field. And when you don't have a lot
Speaker 1: of bodies out there, what can you do to make
Speaker 1: it more efficient?
Speaker 4: Yeah, and when you had a lot of these routes,
Speaker 4: like a lot of these swing routes to Jeremiah Love,
Speaker 4: then they have to get turned into an open field
Speaker 4: running drill that Jeremiah has to do. How is he
Speaker 4: going to shake by defenders, try to make try to
Speaker 4: take advantage of the open space that he does have,
Speaker 4: and you could only do so much when you have
Speaker 4: sixteen total guys that are out there on the practice field,
Speaker 4: and the case we're talking about, only two of them
Speaker 4: are actually working together in Carson Beck and Jeremiah Love,
Speaker 4: and it was from a distance and we couldn't see
Speaker 4: at all. But you're trying to take advantage of the
Speaker 4: time you have. They only were out there for about
Speaker 4: an hour. A large part of what this rookie mini
Speaker 4: camp experience is about is really spent in the classroom.
Speaker 4: We heard from a lot of the guys, and something
Speaker 4: that I thought was a little bit new and a
Speaker 4: little bit telling was how many of them talked about
Speaker 4: zoom calls with their position coaches during the weeks since
Speaker 4: they've been drafted, where they've gotten to play install, where
Speaker 4: they've tried to learn as much as they can, and
Speaker 4: then after they learn, like you're not learning on day
Speaker 4: one how to install the play with some of these rookies,
Speaker 4: you are installing a lot of different things, but they
Speaker 4: are already a step ahead of where they otherwise might
Speaker 4: have been in the past. So I think you have
Speaker 4: to just try to take advantage of the twenty four
Speaker 4: hours in a day that you get because now these
Speaker 4: guys are out here and in most cases they don't
Speaker 4: have apartments, they don't have houses yet that they're living in,
Speaker 4: so they're all rooming together. They're at a hotel, and
Speaker 4: that's kind of every team has that for their rookie
Speaker 4: mini camp, and I think in this case, you are
Speaker 4: really spending a lot of time together. You're bonding together
Speaker 4: because this rookie class is going to be linked together
Speaker 4: in history for one reason or another, and you hope
Speaker 4: it's for all the good reasons.
Speaker 1: The on field work, where we were positioned is where
Speaker 1: we've typically been positioned, and that is right in front
Speaker 1: of where the defensive lineman work, and it was our
Speaker 1: first chance to see new defensive line coach Pete Kwakowski
Speaker 1: work and a lot of it was detail. And when
Speaker 1: I say detail, it was footwork, close attention to where
Speaker 1: these guys planted their feet. And then when you're up
Speaker 1: against the heavy bags, okay, what are you doing with
Speaker 1: your hands and the explosion coming out of your stance,
Speaker 1: even with the offensive linemen on the other side of
Speaker 1: the field. Justin Frye and Chris Cook, it's always about
Speaker 1: the footwork because these college wherever you went, you were outstanding.
Speaker 1: You are very, very talented and sometimes the most talented
Speaker 1: player on the field. Now you're in the NFL and
Speaker 1: everyone is talented, everyone is big, everyone is strong, everyone
Speaker 1: is fast. So what separates the talent to where you
Speaker 1: become elite? A lot of it is the attention to detail,
Speaker 1: meaning your football knowledge, your football IQ, what you can process.
Speaker 1: But it's technique and what do you do what you
Speaker 1: have to do to be in position to be successful,
Speaker 1: whether you're offense or defense. Because sometimes the biggest, the strongest,
Speaker 1: the fastest, they're not successful because the guy opposite them
Speaker 1: is just a little bit better, either in their get
Speaker 1: off or their route running or their hand placement, And
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're winning your one on ones,
Speaker 1: even though maybe physically side by side you're not nearly
Speaker 1: you don't measure up.
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna go one direction in them and come
Speaker 4: right back to it. And it's something we might talk
Speaker 4: about it we might talk about in future weeks. But
Speaker 4: I'm putting together a story at some point about the snapcount.
Speaker 4: And it's something that seems so basic and so simple.
Speaker 4: Everybody kind of has their own, and in the case
Speaker 4: of Carson Beck, He's coming from college where all you
Speaker 4: did was the clap, and I know that Miami for
Speaker 4: a little bit had a little bit of a verbal cadence,
Speaker 4: but then they shifted back to the clap as the
Speaker 4: rest of the season went along. And that was something
Speaker 4: that I asked coach Lafleur about and Mike said, even
Speaker 4: with the veterans, we spent the entire first week not
Speaker 4: even doing anything with plays. It was a matter of
Speaker 4: being in the huddle and what that pre snap snap
Speaker 4: cadence actually sounds like, because you need everybody's to sound
Speaker 4: the exact same. And the question was asked, why do
Speaker 4: you spend a week on something that's as simple as that,
Speaker 4: because that seems like a long time, and coach willfour said,
Speaker 4: I will do this this year and five years in
Speaker 4: fifty years like that will never change because when you
Speaker 4: could excel at the basics, then you become dominant at
Speaker 4: everything else. And in the case of the defensive line, yes,
Speaker 4: strength is a power for both offensive and defensive lineman.
Speaker 4: In college, your strength could beat up a lot of
Speaker 4: different offensive linemen just simply based off of your your frame,
Speaker 4: your stature, and the sort of havoc you could cause
Speaker 4: up in the middle and the trenches there in the NFL,
Speaker 4: you're not bulldozing Yell Defroholt or Isaac Samalu or Paris
Speaker 4: Johnson Junior or any of the NFL offensive linemen with
Speaker 4: lots of experience unless you have the proper technique, the
Speaker 4: proper strength, the proper fundamentals, and are able to also
Speaker 4: use that football IQ to absolutely outsmart them. So Coach
Speaker 4: Quitkowski PK is what I heard that they was what.
Speaker 3: They call it does.
Speaker 4: Although Quitkowski is a pretty cool name, he was locked
Speaker 4: in very different than what we had with Coach Debo,
Speaker 4: not saying coach Debo wasn't locked in. Debo just handled
Speaker 4: things a little bit differently. He had the cleets on,
Speaker 4: he was hands on with the guys. Coach Kwitkowski looked
Speaker 4: like he was just kind of standing there like the
Speaker 4: principal that's just watching the students do the work and
Speaker 4: trying to nitpick anything that he possibly can. Kayleb Proctor
Speaker 4: Dominic Williams who comes from Oklahoma. If I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 4: with the two guys that were working there and that
Speaker 4: defensive line drill rotation that they had, and there are
Speaker 4: two talented guys. There's a reason why Kayleb Proctor, as
Speaker 4: a D one DOAA type of guy, was able to
Speaker 4: get drafted where he was in the fourth round and
Speaker 4: be that Southland Conference Player of the Year. But PK
Speaker 4: is going to be watching and he's going to nitpick
Speaker 4: on absolutely everything, because in the NFL you do need
Speaker 4: to nitpick to try to be the best version of
Speaker 4: yourself that you could be.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with what you just said, and then
Speaker 1: I want to come back to the Cadence thing because
Speaker 1: it's a fascinating conversation. We had Aq Shipley here in
Speaker 1: studio not too long ago, and we were talking about
Speaker 1: the offensive lineman and arm length, and it's a not
Speaker 1: a touchy subject, but it's a subject that we've talked
Speaker 1: about a lot with Aq because he has short arms,
Speaker 1: and he's made that very publicly clear. Yet he spent
Speaker 1: ten plus years in the NFL very successful center with
Speaker 1: quote unquote short arms because of his football IQ and
Speaker 1: his technique able to outlast very many others who are
Speaker 1: coming in to take his job. And I think that's
Speaker 1: what you saw on Friday and Saturday is okay. Regardless
Speaker 1: of what position you play, there are certain there are
Speaker 1: certain ways we need things done. Where your feet are,
Speaker 1: where your hands are, where your eyes need to be.
Speaker 1: And I think this is it could be very similar
Speaker 1: to what you were taught in college, or it could
Speaker 1: be drastically different. But with the Arizona Cardinals, this is
Speaker 1: how it's done. And going back to the veterans, for
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys, new coaching staff, new position coaches,
Speaker 1: this is what we are teaching. And some of it
Speaker 1: could be an adjustment because in the case of Justin
Speaker 1: Fryley was here a year ago. All Right, what did
Speaker 1: we learn last year to that worked well, Let's keep
Speaker 1: it going. Okay, this didn't work well, how do we
Speaker 1: tweak it and make it better. So a lot of
Speaker 1: the offseason is about refining what you're teaching and then
Speaker 1: the proper technique and you slow play it until you
Speaker 1: get to training camp, preseason, and ultimately the regular season.
Speaker 4: And I think with a rookie a Chase Pasontas, Justin
Speaker 4: fry we know he had the recruiting history trying to
Speaker 4: bring a Chase Pasontas to Ohio State. He's kind of
Speaker 4: had a vision for how he would want to use
Speaker 4: a guy like Chase for a long period of time,
Speaker 4: and then I think once it became a little bit
Speaker 4: real that the Arizona Cardinals could be in position to
Speaker 4: select Pasontas if he slides to the second round, then
Speaker 4: you could start to probably see those wheels turn again
Speaker 4: for Justin Frye as to Okay, I remember when I
Speaker 4: was when he was back in high school, how I
Speaker 4: planned to use him in college, and how I wanted
Speaker 4: to make him turn into this pro style player. Now
Speaker 4: he is at the pros, he already has that experience
Speaker 4: from his time at Texas A and M, and now
Speaker 4: you're able to say, like, Okay, how can he mesh
Speaker 4: well on our offensive line unit? And I think it
Speaker 4: goes back to that first year The second year jump
Speaker 4: is what we talk about a lot with players. It
Speaker 4: applies to coaches too, and I think it goes to
Speaker 4: what we talked about with Yeldefrojo when the Phase one
Speaker 4: opened up and we spoke with the center. He said,
Speaker 4: coach Frye is a different coach than he was last year.
Speaker 4: You learn a lot, and I think as you want
Speaker 4: to have that consistency and continuity along the offensive line
Speaker 4: that you at least thought you were going to have
Speaker 4: going into the season. Then because of all the injuries
Speaker 4: that that team that that offensive unit faced, you never
Speaker 4: really had that. And it sucks because you want to
Speaker 4: see what you're able to actually do with a consistent
Speaker 4: offensive line the same five different players out there. But
Speaker 4: I think it says a lot about an offensive line
Speaker 4: coach when you are able to have to coach and
Speaker 4: need to coach so many different players and have to
Speaker 4: mixmatch all these different rotations. And I think in this
Speaker 4: case right now, when you're looking at the rookies that
Speaker 4: are coming in right now, I think Elijah Wilkinson as
Speaker 4: the starter, but if Jada Williams puts enough on tape,
Speaker 4: I think there's a fair competition between Elijah Wilkinson, Josh Freyer,
Speaker 4: Christian Jones, and Jada Williams, regardless of the fact that
Speaker 4: he was drafted in the seventh round. And same with
Speaker 4: Chase Besonta's going up against Isaiah Adams, and I think
Speaker 4: this is where you're going to see the coaching really
Speaker 4: come into effect from coach Fry.
Speaker 1: And then how do you learn that playbook, whether that's
Speaker 1: offense or defense, Because that's step number one. Going back
Speaker 1: to what you mentioned about cadence. Both Carson Beck late
Speaker 1: last week and Mike laflor talked about how much that
Speaker 1: can be a quote weapon and quarterbacks cadence, because, as
Speaker 1: Lafleour mentioned, we know when we're going to snap the ball.
Speaker 1: The defense doesn't. But if you've got smart players along
Speaker 1: that defensive line that can time it perfectly. That's why
Speaker 1: sometimes while that was a great get off, well one,
Speaker 1: it could be just their natural instincts and athleticism, or
Speaker 1: it's they've done enough tapework, enough film study to where
Speaker 1: they either hear something or your mannerisms and they know
Speaker 1: when that ball is going to be snapped, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you're on the backfield and the play
Speaker 1: gets blown out.
Speaker 4: Well, I think, yes, that is a part of it.
Speaker 4: But I think another part of it is the when
Speaker 4: you were so accustomed to just doing one thing your
Speaker 4: entire career. And this is in the case of if
Speaker 4: Carson Beck.
Speaker 3: Were to get the nod and have to be the
Speaker 3: starting quarterback.
Speaker 4: When you're so accustomed to doing one thing your entire career,
Speaker 4: it's very tough to sometimes shake that. And yeah, you're practicing,
Speaker 4: but when you're actually in a game setting and you're
Speaker 4: looking across, and it's not the same eleven guys that
Speaker 4: you've been practicing against that are going to be staring
Speaker 4: you down. It's gonna be a different jersey that's going
Speaker 4: to be looking to try to get into the backfield.
Speaker 4: Sometimes you could those habits, those bad habits, those unused habits,
Speaker 4: can now start to come back to life again. It's
Speaker 4: something that the Cardinals had to deal with during Cliff
Speaker 4: Kingsbury and Kyler Murray's first year, and it drew a
Speaker 4: lot of different penalties. And I remember there was a
Speaker 4: situation when I was researching that pretty sure was Brett
Speaker 4: Hunley that there was. You know, there was some challenges
Speaker 4: there with the false clap that they were trying to
Speaker 4: do and all these different things. So you want to
Speaker 4: be able to get rid of all of that. Carson
Speaker 4: Bex played a lot of college football, and that's why
Speaker 4: I bring it up in the way that I do
Speaker 4: because six years in the game, it's very different than
Speaker 4: some of the guys that come in with just three years.
Speaker 4: You have doubled that now, So I do think that
Speaker 4: that's something that's important. The other thing, though, Craig, is
Speaker 4: what Mike was saying about when you look at. We
Speaker 4: don't know who our starting quarterback is going to be,
Speaker 4: but the one thing we do know is all three
Speaker 4: are going to sound the exact same because we want
Speaker 4: to make sure that our offense is all on the
Speaker 4: same page. Because, like you said, we know when the ball.
Speaker 3: Is going to be snapped.
Speaker 4: The game is in our hands, it's in our control,
Speaker 4: and because of that, we need everybody to be on
Speaker 4: the same page.
Speaker 1: This goes back to something Lafleur brought up during his
Speaker 1: introductory press conference and then a little bit later when
Speaker 1: he was on with Bickley and Murradi, and he mentioned quote,
Speaker 1: we're going to operate better than anyone in the NFL,
Speaker 1: And I really believe that because that takes no talent,
Speaker 1: meaning the pre snap operation, how do you break the huddle?
Speaker 1: How do you line up? Are you in the right
Speaker 1: spot before the ball is snapped? Literally takes zero talent.
Speaker 1: You and I, Cody, we can all go out there,
Speaker 1: break a huddle and line up on the football field. Now,
Speaker 1: obviously we're clearly a successful I can picture it to
Speaker 1: my mind, but that is what happens before the ball
Speaker 1: is snapped, So you should be able to do that
Speaker 1: without a penalty, and I went back and looked last season,
Speaker 1: the Cardinals had forty pre snap penalties. That was fifteenth
Speaker 1: most so right in the middle, tied with three other
Speaker 1: teams eighteen false start penalties, ten of which were on
Speaker 1: the road. And I remember most coaches will say this,
Speaker 1: Jonathan Gannon certainly did during his time with the Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 1: But the pre snap penalty non negotiable. The post snap penalty,
Speaker 1: meeting after the whistle non negotiable. So as easy as
Speaker 1: it sounds, do you get up to the line of
Speaker 1: scrimmage with plenty of time on the playclock? Shouldn't be
Speaker 1: that difficult. Are you where you are supposed to be
Speaker 1: as a running back, of tight end, a wide receiver
Speaker 1: and offensive lineman. Are you on the line of scrimmage?
Speaker 1: Do you have to be told, hey, move up a
Speaker 1: little bit or move back so you don't have too
Speaker 1: many men at the line of scrimmage? All this is
Speaker 1: pre snap. And then if you're motioning before the snap,
Speaker 1: are you able to get set before the ball is
Speaker 1: snap so there's not a false start? This is all
Speaker 1: again before the snap. And to hear Lafleur talk about,
Speaker 1: we spent a week on it, and again you're like, what,
Speaker 1: But it's the details going into that before the ball
Speaker 1: is snapped. That if you're able to get to the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage with what twelve, thirteen, fourteen seconds on
Speaker 1: the play clock or maybe even more now, all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, you're the quarterback, you're looking at the defense,
Speaker 1: and the play is called, Oh wait, nope, can't run
Speaker 1: that play based off what I'm looking defensively, let me
Speaker 1: check out of it. Well, if you're up at the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage with four seconds to go, more difficult
Speaker 1: to check out of a player.
Speaker 4: And that was one of the things that made Matthew
Speaker 4: Stafford such a great quarterback when working with Sean McVay
Speaker 4: and with Michael Floor was the fact that he was
Speaker 4: able to check out of so many different things. And granted,
Speaker 4: that's what happens when you're in the league for over
Speaker 4: fifteen years and you've seen every single defense that the
Speaker 4: game has to offer, and you're playing at an MVP
Speaker 4: level and then you win the MVP. That's what Matthew
Speaker 4: Stafford brings to the table. I think in the case
Speaker 4: of the quarterback situation here, you have two quarterbacks that
Speaker 4: have played tons of football and Gardner Minshew and Jacoby Brissett.
Speaker 4: You also have another quarterback that has played tons of
Speaker 4: football in Carson Beck, albeit at the college level. Do
Speaker 4: you know that they have seen a lot of different defenses.
Speaker 4: Obviously for Beck it'll be a little bit of an adjustment. Still,
Speaker 4: the game is still the same, but the way that
Speaker 4: teams disguise their defenses is going to be a little
Speaker 4: bit of a transition for Carson. But you want to
Speaker 4: make sure that everybody has enough time at the line
Speaker 4: of scrimmage to make sure that they're all on the
Speaker 4: same page. Because it goes back to that first press
Speaker 4: conference where he said the number one thing he learned
Speaker 4: from Sean he being Michael Floor, was that the worst
Speaker 4: play call is a late play call, and when you
Speaker 4: go to the line and you're rushing, that forces everybody
Speaker 4: to kind of get out of their element because they don't
Speaker 4: have enough time to actually get set, and that's what
Speaker 4: causes a lot of those pre snap penalties. I'm sure
Speaker 4: I'm curious out of the forty pre snap penalty penalties
Speaker 4: that they had how much of them was because how
Speaker 4: many of them were because they got to the line
Speaker 4: with only let's say ten seconds left. I'm not sure
Speaker 4: I didn't draw up those.
Speaker 1: They haven't looked at all the plays.
Speaker 3: No at NFL dot Com.
Speaker 4: No, not yet, No, not yet, but now I know
Speaker 4: what I'm going to be doing. But I do think
Speaker 4: you see something like that and you go, Okay, that's
Speaker 4: the that's the basics, that's the fundamentals, and that's what
Speaker 4: this time of year is really all about for this
Speaker 4: for all NFL teams. But I think especially with a
Speaker 4: new there's gonna be a new voice in the headset
Speaker 4: this year, and there's gonna be a new voice potentially
Speaker 4: in that huddle and at least new play calls that
Speaker 4: are going to be shouted out by whoever it's going
Speaker 4: to be the quarterback that that is going to be
Speaker 4: calling them out. So I do think that this is
Speaker 4: the time of year where you do have to look
Speaker 4: at the fundamentals. You can't hit anybody now, you can't
Speaker 4: put on the paths, you're not really wearing the helmets.
Speaker 3: So what are you able to do?
Speaker 4: You have to excel in the classroom and practice as
Speaker 4: much of this pre snap stuff as you can.
Speaker 1: And this goes defensively as well. Pay attention to any
Speaker 1: head coach, college, high school, even pro as far as
Speaker 1: what bothered them the most is when all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: a first and ten becomes a first and fifteen, or
Speaker 1: a second and two becomes a second and seven because
Speaker 1: someone false started, or on the other side, a first
Speaker 1: and ten. Now all of a sudden is a first
Speaker 1: and five because the defense jumped the gun. So it's
Speaker 1: those pre snap penalties that will bother any head coach.
Speaker 1: So there was some new who was late last week
Speaker 1: as far as roster moves, and not a big deal.
Speaker 1: But we have four of the seven rookies have signed
Speaker 1: on the line that has dotted at least as we
Speaker 1: speak here on this Monday. Jeremiah Love, Reggie Virgil, Carson Schier,
Speaker 1: and Jaden Williams have all signed their rookie contracts. That
Speaker 1: leaves Chase Basantis, Carson Beck and Caleb Procter. Again, this
Speaker 1: is more of a formality than anything else. These rookie
Speaker 1: deals are slotted. Now when you get to the second
Speaker 1: sometime the third round picks, it can drag on a
Speaker 1: little bit longer because those contracts aren't guaranteed like first
Speaker 1: round picks. Those contracts are guaranteed. So there's a lot
Speaker 1: of language talking back and forth between team and agents
Speaker 1: as far as okay, one hundred percent guaranteed or two
Speaker 1: of the four years or three of the four years guaranteed.
Speaker 1: So that's why sometimes we saw this with Will Johnson
Speaker 1: last season. What was it day day?
Speaker 3: Those reporting day?
Speaker 4: It was the first day of training camp where Will
Speaker 4: Johnson signed his contract and that was because the Houston
Speaker 4: Texans changed the game and they gave their second round
Speaker 4: guys fully guaranteed contracts. And that was a big deal
Speaker 4: because Will Johnson was in the middle of the second round,
Speaker 4: a little bit of the closer to the first round
Speaker 4: than he was to the back end of the second round.
Speaker 4: But he you know all the agents that are saying,
Speaker 4: hold on a second here, I want to make sure
Speaker 4: that my client gets as much money as they possibly can.
Speaker 4: I think it Chase Besonce's case and in Carson Beck's case,
Speaker 4: because they were taking so early in the round, it's
Speaker 4: going to be dependent on kind of the team in.
Speaker 3: Front of them and what they are able to do.
Speaker 4: I think Carson Beckett's it's a quarterback in the third round,
Speaker 4: the first pick in the third round, So how much
Speaker 4: guaranteed money is going to happen from there, if any like,
Speaker 4: I'm not too sure, but those will probably be the
Speaker 4: two that will take quite a little bit of time.
Speaker 3: But that also could change.
Speaker 4: Because the Cardinals are so early in the in the rounds,
Speaker 4: they're the ones that kind of have the cards in
Speaker 4: their hands to do what they feel.
Speaker 1: And I have no worries what soever.
Speaker 3: Everybody. We'll get signed.
Speaker 1: Everything will get worked out. This is the holdouts for war.
Speaker 1: Actually not even a holdout when you're not signed. It's
Speaker 1: not a holdout, but the long drawn out process where
Speaker 1: these rookies are missing a week a day of training
Speaker 1: camp that no longer happens.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is it's a Shemar Stewart case where there
Speaker 4: was so much worry in his contract. They found some
Speaker 4: language there about an injury and how he would not
Speaker 4: get all the guaranteed money. I'm pretty sure if he
Speaker 4: was injured and his agents said no to that, and
Speaker 4: that's when it took some time. I'm pretty sure all
Speaker 4: the way up until week one for him. So I
Speaker 4: don't expect or anticipate for any of that to happen
Speaker 4: in this case. I will say, though it's impressive to
Speaker 4: see how many first round picks have been signed this
Speaker 4: early on. I think Mike erfollow is the one who
Speaker 4: tweet out saying, I think we're at a record pace
Speaker 4: right now for the mount of first rounders that have
Speaker 4: been signed, because typically it'll take some time. I'm pretty
Speaker 4: sure Waltern on the third was signed around June tenth
Speaker 4: around there, so we're pretty early right now in comparison
Speaker 4: between the two.
Speaker 1: It is a big deal when these guys can sign
Speaker 1: their first professional contract. Although it is I think what
Speaker 1: we heard, especially when we heard Jeremiah Love to speak
Speaker 1: on Friday after that first rookie mini camp practice because
Speaker 1: he had signed earlier that day, and yes, he acknowledged
Speaker 1: it's life changing money. However, for him and a lot
Speaker 1: of players in his position, meaning those number one handful
Speaker 1: of players across the country or certain teams, they've experienced
Speaker 1: life changing money this day and age of nil. So
Speaker 1: I did find it interesting that Jeremiah said, look, I'm
Speaker 1: not touching that money. That fifty three plus guaranteed that
Speaker 1: will wind up in his bank account. He's doesn't have
Speaker 1: to worry about it. As he mentioned, I make a
Speaker 1: lot of marketing money, so he'll live off his marketing money.
Speaker 1: But he's always he has been, as he said, well off,
Speaker 1: meaning the last two or three years of Notre Dame,
Speaker 1: he was making a good chunk of change. So this, yes,
Speaker 1: certainly generational wealth now for him and his family, But
Speaker 1: that typical what am I gonna do? What am I
Speaker 1: gonna buy? Most of these players first round, second round,
Speaker 1: they've experienced this and it's no longer the eyes are
Speaker 1: big and what are you gonna do when there's a worry.
Speaker 1: I don't worry about certainly Jeremiah love I Zach, I
Speaker 1: don't know that. The more I hear from him, how
Speaker 1: mature he is, how he sounds, and just has seemingly
Speaker 1: the right response for anything that is asked. And then
Speaker 1: you hear him talk about, yes, I know the spotlight
Speaker 1: is on me because I'm a high pick, and yes
Speaker 1: I'm a running back, But I don't feel that there's
Speaker 1: any more pressure I have, as he mentioned a quote,
Speaker 1: duty though to the Cardinals to give a return on
Speaker 1: their investment in me. And that's what is maybe the
Speaker 1: pressure that he feels.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so if we talk about that first, I think
Speaker 4: he understands the responsibility of what it's like to be
Speaker 4: that first overall, that first round select, the third overall pick,
Speaker 4: and the pressure that that does bring. But he like,
Speaker 4: he goes back to I think the quote that you
Speaker 4: said is one of your favorites, the balance of cool.
Speaker 4: He said, it's very, very tough to rattle me from
Speaker 4: that balance of cool because he is just so even
Speaker 4: keeled with the way that he does everything.
Speaker 3: And even when he's sitting up there getting peppered.
Speaker 4: With questions from us, not knowing what's coming next, his
Speaker 4: way that he thinks through the questions and it's not
Speaker 4: a three word response, it's actually a thought out response.
Speaker 4: And I remember the question I asked him was about
Speaker 4: if he feels any responsibility to kind of be a
Speaker 4: leader amongst the rookie class, you know, bring the guys along,
Speaker 4: because he is that third overall pick. He is the
Speaker 4: headline name in that class. And he was like, yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, I have a responsibility to be myself and everything,
Speaker 4: and then he kind of shift theirs, I do also
Speaker 4: have a responsibility to these guys. I kind of could
Speaker 4: see where that comes from, and you could start to
Speaker 4: see the way he thinks through a lot of these things.
Speaker 4: When it comes to the money. Yeah, and His dad
Speaker 4: even said that he had an opportunity to get even
Speaker 4: more money in college if he didn't stay at Notre Dame.
Speaker 4: But that's but it's the loyalty that he stayed there for.
Speaker 4: The one thing though, is with like the nil you
Speaker 4: have a lot of these guys that come into the league,
Speaker 4: into the NFL, and the first thing they want to
Speaker 4: do is they want to buy the house.
Speaker 3: They want to buy the car, They want to buy this,
Speaker 3: they want to buy that.
Speaker 4: Not all of them will have the marketing money that
Speaker 4: Jeremiah Love will have. Some might even have more, you know,
Speaker 4: But I do think it's taught these guys how to
Speaker 4: handle their money a little bit more at a young
Speaker 4: age when they are in college. Because Jeremiah Love, Like,
Speaker 4: for example, he already said he has his dream car.
Speaker 4: He did that in a red carpet interview with ESPN
Speaker 4: with Katie Feeney, Like, he already said that he has that.
Speaker 4: So now he could come into the NFL. He already
Speaker 4: has what he's spent a lot of money for. He
Speaker 4: has a year of experience of handling all that. Now
Speaker 4: he's ready to just focus in on football. He said,
Speaker 4: let my financial advisors handle that. I love how he
Speaker 4: did say I will know what's going on though you
Speaker 4: better and then he said, but it's right now, it's
Speaker 4: just about football and making sure that this isn't the
Speaker 4: only contract that he gets. It's signing that first contract
Speaker 4: is awesome and it's amazing, it's a milestone. But the
Speaker 4: contracts that everybody talks about is that second contract and
Speaker 4: what you're able to do with it. And a position
Speaker 4: like running back. It has definitely been in question about
Speaker 4: how much the value is of a running back, especially
Speaker 4: when they are aging in a little bit banged up
Speaker 4: and they now are getting set for the second contract.
Speaker 4: But I think of guys like Bijon Robinson and Saikwon
Speaker 4: Barkley and Jamior Gibbs have showed anything like you can
Speaker 4: be worth it and still play at an elite level.
Speaker 1: And I think the value of a Jeremiah Love is
Speaker 1: his skill set, a three down running back who has
Speaker 1: wide receiver skills, something that when we spoke with Marcus
Speaker 1: Freeman not too long ago here on Cardinals Cover Too,
Speaker 1: mentioned that there was a stretch in which they were
Speaker 1: going to use Jeremiah as a wide receiver. He's just
Speaker 1: too talented that you could use him though more out
Speaker 1: of the backfield as a wide out, but still hand
Speaker 1: the ball off to him. And I think that's where
Speaker 1: Jeremiah believes he could separate himself from everyone else in
Speaker 1: the running back room here across the league. Is his
Speaker 1: skill set as a wide receiver and how hard he's
Speaker 1: worked to be a wide receiver.
Speaker 4: Remind me, was it in this press conference or it
Speaker 4: might have been another or an interview I watched where
Speaker 4: he said like he wanted to be a receiver growing up.
Speaker 4: It was this past Friday, I believe so, because he
Speaker 4: talked about running back was something that he did since
Speaker 4: he was I think six, and it was just.
Speaker 1: Because it's for him, is natural. I had to work
Speaker 1: at being a wide receiver and probably looking at the
Speaker 1: wide receivers, they catch the passes, they score the touchdowns,
Speaker 1: and the running backs are the ones getting pounded and
Speaker 1: hit at the line of scrimmage. So and then typically
Speaker 1: wide receivers make more money than running backs.
Speaker 4: And you could be a little bit of a diva
Speaker 4: if you want to be. No, I'm kidding, I wouldn't
Speaker 4: expect that from Jeremiah Love. I do think that that
Speaker 4: was an important change for him obviously, it's what put
Speaker 4: him in this position for him to be the talented
Speaker 4: RB that he is. But it goes to our conversation
Speaker 4: with coach Freeman where he said, like, we spent spring
Speaker 4: practices a good chunk of them just having him just
Speaker 4: practice at wide receiver. We knew he didn't necessarily need
Speaker 4: to work as a running back. He was already very
Speaker 4: talented and gifted. As we got closer to the season,
Speaker 4: will then have no problem shifting him over to his
Speaker 4: primary role. But you want to get the reps and
Speaker 4: the experience as much as you can.
Speaker 3: So that's why he.
Speaker 4: Said, like, hey, we could throw him into the slot
Speaker 4: and see what he's able to do.
Speaker 3: And it goes back to the quote.
Speaker 4: From coach Freeman where he said, I believe that Jeremiah Love,
Speaker 4: if you put the work in, could be a really
Speaker 4: talented NFL wide receiver, not just an NFL running back.
Speaker 4: I think the Cardinals could have a threat in the
Speaker 4: backfield that also could be motioned out wide if needed,
Speaker 4: and it totally could put defenses on their heels.
Speaker 1: And then depending on how you utilize the rest of
Speaker 1: the running backs, maybe there are multiple running backs on
Speaker 1: the field, whether in the backfield, or you have Jeremiah
Speaker 1: split out wide or in the slot with a James
Speaker 1: Connor or Tyler Aljier, Trey Benson, whomever it may be
Speaker 1: in the backfield. And that's where Michael Flora has got
Speaker 1: to figure out how do I best utilize the talent
Speaker 1: that I have. You always hear at the best eleven.
Speaker 1: Who are the best eleven with that particular play that
Speaker 1: series that quartered the game and ultimately able to get
Speaker 1: the job done.
Speaker 4: And I'd like to think that the Cardinals took one
Speaker 4: of the best eleven that were available that can make
Speaker 4: a difference. And I know that there's still a lot
Speaker 4: of discourse about the position of need. You could have
Speaker 4: taken an edge rusher and Rvel Reese, You could have
Speaker 4: taken an offensive tackle in Spencer Fano or in Francis Marinoa.
Speaker 4: I think the more we sit there and listen to
Speaker 4: Jeremiah Love, we could see what this runoff is saw
Speaker 4: in terms of their desire to select a guy like
Speaker 4: him out there. And I know it was from a distance,
Speaker 4: but he will good doing the drills as well, So
Speaker 4: I think it'll be fascinating once we actually do get
Speaker 4: the training camp they put the pads on and what
Speaker 4: it's gonna be like for the for the first time.
Speaker 4: We just saw just the sixteen guys out there on Friday.
Speaker 4: What's it going to be like when that practice feels
Speaker 4: turns to ninety one. That's what it'll be interesting. Because
Speaker 4: the Cardinals did put val Sen as their exempt for
Speaker 4: their International Player of the Year or International Pathway player.
Speaker 1: And they released Andre Bicelli on a failed physical, so
Speaker 1: they currently have ninety You could get to ninety one
Speaker 1: because sends exemption on the roster. This week is the
Speaker 1: final week of Phase two. You still have the rookies
Speaker 1: and veterans together for the first time, so that's the
Speaker 1: importance of this week. Next week, a week from today,
Speaker 1: phase three begins, meaning you can actually go seven on seven,
Speaker 1: eleven on eleven, still no contact, but you're able to
Speaker 1: now kind of simulate foot ball activity as opposed to
Speaker 1: just position drills and walk throughs. And then this week
Speaker 1: later on this week on Thursday, we get the schedule.
Speaker 1: You know, we know the teams, we know the where,
Speaker 1: we just don't know the when. And for those that
Speaker 1: do we know the where.
Speaker 3: There's a chance that we could have an international.
Speaker 1: Gain the potential of being in Mexico City against the
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, the potential of being in Paris against
Speaker 1: the Saints, although there was a report earlier this offseason
Speaker 1: that the Saints were going to play the Cleveland Browns
Speaker 1: in Paris, So sorry about that.
Speaker 4: Said, that's okay, I will I will be okay, I'll survive,
Speaker 4: but it'll be exciting for once the schedule actually does
Speaker 4: get released and we could start to, you know, play
Speaker 4: schedule maker and schedule decider because there's teams like the
Speaker 4: Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 3: What's Patrick Mahomes's health going to be? Like when you're.
Speaker 4: Going to Arrowhead and you're trying to compete against them,
Speaker 4: you look at some of the injuries that these teams
Speaker 4: have and you're trying to plan it all out and
Speaker 4: try to when you could get these victories.
Speaker 1: Cardinals will play the NFC West, NFC East, AFC West,
Speaker 1: plus the Lions, Saints, and Jets, and everyone plays the game.
Speaker 1: Is it better to get a team with a new
Speaker 1: head coach early in the season or late in the season,
Speaker 1: And then obviously when you play that schedule game in May.
Speaker 1: A lot happens between now and when Week one begins.
Speaker 1: Because you just brought it up. If you have the
Speaker 1: Chiefs on the schedule, is Patrick Mahomes ready week one?
Speaker 1: Do you want the Chiefs in Week one or week
Speaker 1: eleven when presumably Mahomes is healthy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we will say this because I've seen so
Speaker 4: much of this on social media. The Cardinals have one
Speaker 4: of the toughest strength to schedules. At the end of
Speaker 4: the day, though it doesn't matter, I understand a large
Speaker 4: part of that is because of the division that this
Speaker 4: team plays in, and knowing that you're going up against
Speaker 4: the NFC East and the AFC West, who have You're
Speaker 4: playing against a lot of teams that have made Super
Speaker 4: Bowl appearances within the last handful of years. I don't
Speaker 4: know the fact that you have the ragning super Bowl
Speaker 4: champs within your own division in the Seattle Seahawks, but
Speaker 4: we know that the NFL is a one score game.
Speaker 4: It's always what it comes down to. So yes, this
Speaker 4: is a tough strength to schedule. But I do believe
Speaker 4: that the Cardinals are going to find themselves in a
Speaker 4: lot of one score games and it's just gonna be
Speaker 4: a matter of which team makes the least amount of
Speaker 4: mistakes and puts up of the most amount of points
Speaker 4: on the board.
Speaker 1: And it goes back to what Michae Laforr is preaching,
Speaker 1: and that is your preparation and what happens before the
Speaker 1: ball is snapped, whether that's offense or defense. We come
Speaker 1: full circle here on this Monday edition of Cardinals Cover two.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the schedule, not the NFL schedule again
Speaker 1: that gets released on Thursday. The Diamondbacks are on the
Speaker 1: road this week, Zach, So you are off the hook
Speaker 1: that are back in town next week.
Speaker 4: All right, then are you buying me my tickets?
Speaker 1: I'm just letting you know.
Speaker 4: Okay, look, if you're buying me the tickets, I'll go.
Speaker 1: I wonder if we can figure out a work.
Speaker 3: Well, we'll have that when that's true, only going to
Speaker 3: be in a month, Okay, that's usually what late time
Speaker 3: in the mid June mid June.
Speaker 4: Are So Cardinals Cover two on location?
Speaker 3: How about that we could do that.
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll get Cody out there.
Speaker 3: Cody's doing this because he wants to go.
Speaker 1: Don't forget about me, guys. Good stuff, Zach, And again,
Speaker 1: schedule lease. The NFL schedule is coming up on Thursday,
Speaker 1: five pm. And I believe there's a little bit of
Speaker 1: a way that you might be able to get it
Speaker 1: thirty minutes early. At least that's what I've heard throughout
Speaker 1: the NFL. So the NFL with ESPN and NFL Network,
Speaker 1: there are shows at five, but there's potential of an
Speaker 1: email being sent out thirty minutes ahead of that.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: So if people want to get a jump on maybe
Speaker 1: home games or perhaps see the Arizona Cardinals away from
Speaker 1: the state of Arizona, sign me up whatever I can
Speaker 1: do to get the schedule a little bit earlier. On
Speaker 1: that note, we will put a lid on this edition
Speaker 1: of Cardinals Cover two presented by Hyundai, probably partner of
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals Special Thanks as always to our executive
Speaker 1: producer Jie Mamhunre, our associate producer Cody Fincher for Zach Kershman,
Speaker 1: I'm Greig real Lou. We'll talk to you next time
Speaker 1: you're on Cardinals Cover two.
