I'm your host Ian Hartz here to talk all things Arizona Cardinals.

Number two team from the NFC West. Obviously didn't quite have the playoff push that everyone was hoping for.

But you know what, still got Kyle Murray still got plenty of offense of weapons. Still got clip Kingsbury.

Not sure how you feel about that, but still got him and this podcast is still got the one the only Dwayne the great the rock McFarlane Dwayne how are you?

Man, I'm doing good like it's MBS day on Twitter for me. So you know people probably think I I probably need to set the record clear that actually I hope MBS is successful.

I would actually much rather MBS be successful and everyone just to come gets to come back and dump and just done got me all I'm really sharing is just like my process and the data that I find and it's like you always say it's like

hate the ADP not the player. My problem is just like ninth round I could have you know MBS or you know I could have this other you know fantasy asset like my mind is binary just thinking you know and probability.

I don't do it man. Let him do it and you me and the listeners here will know not to reach on MBS that should be our strategy.

Yeah, that is the strategy. So like fine. He slides past ADP I want him. But you know how it gets because sometimes I do think man like if the player were to pull this up they would think I'm just a complete dick like I hate them.

And I don't and so that make that's the part that makes me feel bad about it because the ultimate outcome would be man I would love to look up and people who act dwayne you are an idiot MBS just went off for 1500 yards and touchdowns.

I just say it ain't happening. I had someone yesterday be like Ian I used to like you on a and fantasy but now you become the king of hot takes and I'm like look if you just look at my Twitter account I guarantee you probably will come away with that impression but just realize and I's all you listeners know

it's way and I do usually talk through the things enough where yeah you know when there's one quote graphic out there saying I take Renfro over Devon T Smith I understand why you might be like oh well he's a shooting from the hip but usually we do have a couple data points to back up what we're trying to say

Dwayne so that's that's the one thing that he's been going obviously we're going to miss here but I do think people will be challenged to go back you know through our episodes and find too many irrational discussions going on.

Now that we've gotten you know our little emotional therapy session out of the way here let's talk some Arizona Cardinals football baby because again Cala Murray's here we got a big addition of Marquis Brown sacra Tronday O'Mour that the Andre Hopkins suspension for Bieber tranquilizers like a lot of stuff just really going on with the Cardinals this off season it's an exciting time though because even if they haven't quite you know reach the expectations maybe some half or cliff and collar it's a competitive team in the most prolific you know side of the country I don't want to put the NFC West over the AFC West Nessie.

But we are like that I like that stay classy stay classy and and San Diego of course but and San Diego let's go ahead team now but whatever.

Let's go ahead stick to our usual format first we're going to look at the coaching changes then the roster moves before getting to the nitty gritty quarterback running back while your seeber and tight at room so Cardinals will continue to be led on offense by head coach and the fact of offense a coordinator clip Kingsbury on defense by Vans Joseph for the fourth consecutive season.

So when Kingsbury was coming out of Texas Tech a lot of people were expecting you know the air raid to become the new hot thing Cardinals to use for wide receiver base sets just pass the ball all around the yard hasn't exactly been the case to rain the one consistent we have seen as Kingsbury using this shelter shelter pace they have actually ranked fourth first and

seventh in situation neutral pace per the friends over at football outsiders but the passing game it's actually been more repounds that balance overall offense in 2019 they were 10th and pastly rate and non-garber's time situations but back to back years they've been 17th at 61%.

Do you think this is just a two year sample and now a color going to year four really good see them throw in the ball all around the yard or is this just a fact where hey this clip Kingsbury professional offense is going to lean on the run a bit more in the public real.

Well I think honestly you know even going back to college and looking at it I remember when he first came to the league and I was having to that first year project the Cardinals you know I had some conversations with some folks I was like this just isn't going to be 70 30 that's not what air raid is air raid is up tempo it's a lot about the concepts that get used right and the way that they think about you know reacting the coverages and getting open running the open space.

All those sort of things but it was never really like just this hyper only you know pass heavy offense you know for cliff now in his playing days Texas tech you know there's definitely some of that but as a coach it was just never really that now the positive is you know you kind of mentioned the pace.

Plays per game in regulation because because we can't we can't predict over time as much as you know E and I want to predict things like that's one we're probably just not going to get no matter what so last year sixth in place per game the year before fifth in place per game just to kind of give some additional context to what you had
