Derrik KlassenHOST
Mm-hmm.
Robert MaysHOST
Right? Whether it's Budda Baker dropping, Budda Baker dropping down.
Robert MaysHOST
Just so many different ways of, again, squeezing that area, and the car- the Chargers really had no other place to go.
Robert MaysHOST
And then the other element of this game that is worrying for the Chargers, because this is not something that's probably gonna get better, the interior of the offensive line looks like it's going to be a problem again.
Bob FescoHOST
And so the Chargers though, man, watching that game yesterday, and that...
Bob FescoHOST
I, I don't wanna say it was the last play of the game, but it was pretty much the last play of the game, where there was the, the, the two-man blitz where Budda Baker comes in and just absolutely destroys Justin Herbert.
Bob FescoHOST
Eventually, guys, we have to stop making excuses for Justin Herbert and say, "You've gotta carry your team," because you're either gonna be a win with guy or a win because of guy.
Bob FescoHOST
And Justin Herbert right now, he may be a win with guy and not a win because of guy.

Oh, they come and they get him again, a third sack.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This time, Budda Baker.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Why-
Liv MoodsHOST
You had three guys blocking.
TomHOST
He was filling gaps, shedding blocks, and essentially acting as the defensive quarterback out there.
TomHOST
Budda Baker was also anchoring the secondary, ensuring that Herbert didn't have any easy completions downfield.
SarahHOST
[horn honking] And let's give some credit to the pass rush.
SarahHOST
Troy Dye only got half a sack for the Chargers, but Dante Stills got the full sack.
SarahHOST
You see guys out of position, communication breakdowns in coverage.
SarahHOST
Who do you think takes the first hit from this speed? Is it Budda Baker having to read options faster, or is it the secondary dealing with rapid route combinations? [static]
TomHOST
I think it's the edge rushers first.
TomHOST
Look at the personnel.
SarahHOST
[whistles] No holding the ball, that's the mantra.
SarahHOST
Let's pivot to the defense again.
SarahHOST
Who else should we be watching besides Budda Baker? The secondary looks solid on paper with Will Johnson and Max Melton, but against a fast-paced offense, depth matters.
SarahHOST
Who steps up if there's a substitution cycle? [bell dinging]
TomHOST
I suspect the fast-paced label leans toward Beck's arm talent and ability to extend plays.
SarahHOST
And the Cardinals' secondary? They have Budda Baker, Max Melton, Will Johnson, K'Trell Clark.
SarahHOST
That's a young, athletic group.
SarahHOST
Can they handle the speed?
SarahHOST
Do we stick with that?
TomHOST
I'm sticking with it.
TomHOST
The Cardinals defense, led by Budda Baker, will make enough stops to win a low-scoring affair.
TomHOST
I predict a 24 to 20 Cardinals victory.
Field YatesHOST
He is, I would argue, their best defensive player.
Field YatesHOST
Maybe Budda Baker, but at least in the conversation.
Mike ClayHOST
Mm-hmm.
Field YatesHOST
Um, this is an opportunity for this Chargers team to come out white hot.
David DroegemeierHOST
I, and I'm not trying to be, like, facetious or, or, uh, or, or funny here.
David DroegemeierHOST
I, I just, I see a couple of good players o- on the defensive side, right? You know, with, with Budda Baker.
David DroegemeierHOST
Uh, you know, o- obviously we, we, we talked about Josh Sweat having 12 sacks.
David DroegemeierHOST
But, like, there's not a whole lot of, like s- like, firepower superstar type of players on this Cardinals defense.
SarahHOST
Who are the X factors for Arizona this weekend? [drum roll]
TomHOST
First up, Budda Baker.
TomHOST
He's the quarterback of the secondary.
TomHOST
Against a fast-paced offense, his ability to communicate coverage adjustments is vital.
