00:00the Arizona Cardinals, but not as a team.

00:01We want to put that focal point here, Joe Waniere,

00:03on their quarterback itself, which is Kyler Murray.

00:06Now, coming into the NFL, so talented, hard to tackle,

00:10a water bug out there, but it hasn't equated necessarily to wins,

00:14included wins at the biggest times here.

00:16If we take a look at his seasonal statistics this year,

00:19anticipated 3,375.5 passing yards, 20.5 touchdown passes,

00:24475.5 rushing yards, and an MVP price of 50 to 1.

00:28I look at this and say to myself,

00:29that seems like rookie numbers out there

00:32that they're placing on Kyler Murray.

00:35Now, granted, he's been injured in the past,

00:36but if he stays healthy, he should wreck those numbers out here.

00:39So buy or sell to you, Joe Waniere.

00:41This is a make or break season for Kyler Murray.

00:45It absolutely is.

00:47And listen, last year was a season in which

00:50that's kind of what we expected from Kyler Murray

00:53with what they went through

00:54and what they were expecting from him when they drafted him.

00:58He started all 17 games last year.

01:01He posted his best numbers for not only yards,

01:04but touchdown passes since 2021,

01:07which also happens to coincide with being the last time

01:10Arizona made the playoffs.

01:13So without a doubt, Donnie, you're spot on.

01:15Kyler Murray is the engine here

01:17that is going to decide,

01:18what are we going to get?

01:20Jonathan Gannon, much better last year

01:23than his first as the Cardinals coach there.

01:28So when you go from four to eight wins in a year,

01:31that's pretty impressive for a rookie coach.

01:34But I could also make the argument

01:36they did underperform

01:38because they lost a lot of games

01:39they should not have lost last year.

01:42I think the defensive side of the ball

01:44is going to be the biggest question.

01:45If Kyler Murray in a make or break year

01:49can give you at minimum what he gave you last year

01:51or maybe improve on it with, you know,

01:54James Conner there.

01:55And now you've got receivers.

01:57They have a tight end.

01:58They locked in Michael Wilson's there.

02:01You've got a ton of weapons offensively.

02:04It's the defensive side of the ball.

02:06That's going to be the challenge with this team.

02:08Can they stop anybody

02:10with Calias Campbell at 100 years old

02:13returning to the team that drafted him in what, 2005?

02:17So yeah, I expect offensively

02:19for them to be just as good.

02:22My question is still on the defensive side with this team.
