He discussed Kyler Murray’s injury status, Jacoby Brissett stepping in and how he has played, the development of Marvin Harrison Jr., and Arizona’s defensive approach under Jonathan Gannon. Urban also highlighted storylines around the running game, pass rush, and whether the Cardinals could make key stops against Dallas’ offense.

00:00Is this gamesmanship with Kyler or is he really not going to play at all tonight?

00:22You know, I guess we'll see.

00:25I don't know if this is really gamesmanship per se as much as, you know, he got a foot injury.

00:33I think the Cardinals have played it pretty close to the vest in terms of how extensive it might have been.

00:39So I think this has more to do, again, with where he is health-wise.

00:44And, you know, Kyler is going to be one of those quarterbacks who, you know,

00:48if he's not able to move around in terms of scrambling and running, it's different than maybe if Joe Burrow perhaps has something similar

00:59where, you know, it takes a lot out of Kyler's game if he can't move around.

01:03And I think that might be part of the equation.

01:07Darren, how has Jacoby Brissett played?

01:10It's looked like just watching him this week and keeping an eye on, you know, how Arizona's played the last few weeks.

01:15It looks like Jacoby Brissett's held things down pretty well while Kyler Murray's been out.

01:20Well, to be fair, the passing offense has looked even better since Brissett's played these last two games.

01:29Again, they're totally different types of quarterbacks.

01:32I mean, Jacoby Brissett's a guy who's just going to stand in the pocket and get blasted while he's waiting for his receivers to get open.

01:39And it's paid off for them in a couple of different ways.

01:42I mean, in terms of the passing offense, it's been more effective the two games that Brissett has played.

01:49And one of the things that's pretty noticeable is that the wide receivers beyond Marvin Harrison have gotten a lot more involved.

01:55And so they've been effective in that way.

01:58Obviously, it's not paid off in victories.

02:00And, you know, it's gotten frustrating with this team, quite frankly, because of how close they've been.

02:10I mean, to have a five-game losing streak and to have the total points that you've lost by his 13 has been hard for these guys.

02:18But in terms of the offense, Brissett's done a very nice job.

02:22And the question is, can they run the ball?

02:24They're down their top two running backs.

02:27They have not run the ball as consistently as they have the past two years.

02:30That was supposed to be the identity of this team.

02:33And I'd be curious to see what happens, especially against the Dallas defense, obviously, that struggle against the run.
