This is the athletic football show.

Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays.

Good show for you guys today.

We're continuing our lingering question series. We've done six divisions so far. This is our seventh. We're doing the NFC West today. For those of you who haven't listened to other shows in this series, I wanted to go back and just look at some of the questions that we felt like were unanswered from the23 season. That's for a variety of reasons.

We're going to talk about the Cardinals today. I don't think a lot of people watched a lot of Arizona Cardinals football down the back half of the 2023 season. So what that run game looked like when they were succeeding, what Trey McBride looked like. We're going to talk a little bit about that today. I don't think a lot of people watched the Arizona Cardinals defense last year. what was the Cardinals defense?

So those are the types of things

we've been digging into

with pretty much every single division. We're hitting the NFC West today with my friend Sean Siyadh from Sumer Sports. Does a great job over there. You know, does a ton of film stuff on Twitter and, you know, somebody that watches a ton of football and really was excited to get his insight on all of the

teams in the NFC West and what he was taking a look at. So let's get to it.

Joining us now for the seventh of eight shows we're doing for this lingering question series,

it is Sean Siyadh from Sumer Sports. Sean, how you doing, man? Robert, I'm doing great. I'm so glad that we got the NFC West to talk about. I think such an interesting division. I'm excited to get into it. Yeah, I saved a good one for you. As I was going through my list of people I wanted to have on for these, and I tried to zero in on like the seven or eight biggest film nerds that I could think of. You were definitely on that short list.

So I was excited to include you and very happy that you got a very interesting division.

Even the quote unquote bad teams in this division are some of the, I mean, there's

only one like quote unquote bad team in this division.

But the bad team in this division is one of the ones I was most looking forward to as part of this exercise because they were interesting in a bad way or bad in an interesting way.

And I think that's exactly what makes for a ripe discussion when you're looking at it through this lens.

So let's start with that team because I really wanted to dig into the Arizona Cardinals as part of this entire thing. What is your lingering question

from 2023 about the Arizona Cardinals? You know, teams that just don't have that many expectations,

they're so fun to watch because, you know, when we get to Seattle, like, I was getting frustrated

just watching Gino run around. But in Arizona, just throw whatever you want at the

wall. I think on offense. It's so true. It's the best. And on offense, when Kyle Burr returned,
