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.
