Denver Broncos DC Vance Joseph Admires How Arizona Cardinals Play the Game

Arizona is really good at time of possession right now. What is it that they do well to sustain such long drives? The quarterback's a grown-up. I mean, he is not putting the ball in harm's way. They run the ball very well. It's a well-coached group. It's Rams similarities with the 13 personnel, you know, so they can get big on you. That big can go small, you know, with the pass game with 85 McBride. So they do a great job. They have a bunch of good players that are smart and tough, And they just do it right, right? So when you watch the tape as a coach, it kind of makes you proud, you know, how well they play the game, you know. So it's our job to kind of stop the run and keep the big plays off of us and break their drive. They're first in the league, I think, with 10-plus play drives, you know. So that kind of burns clock and leads to points. Vance, what gave you confidence in Taylor, in Taylor Rapp, who plays such a significant role on the defense, after basically missing training? Yeah. Signing Taylor was purpose for us, you know. We needed a veteran safety who can play without reps, and obviously that was a short week for all of us. For him to go in the game and play 60-plus snaps and play at a high level and make every call, it's been impressive to watch. But his first week in training camp, we saw it, and I was like, man, this is cool. If we can get him back in some capacity moving forward, it's going to be a big part of our defense. Again, it was perfect. They have Rapp in the inner circle.
