McBride calls Seattle the toughest city to play in
Mike Florio discusses Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride's comments regarding what it's like to play against the Seattle Seahawks, who have gotten the better of the Cardinals in recent history.

He was talking on the Bussin' with the Boys podcast about the NFC West stadium he least likes to play in, and he made it clear it's Seattle.
First of all, he said the defense is a bunch of shit talkers, which it works, and it's just loud and it's hard to play in it.
And the Cardinals are 0-8 against the Seahawks during McBride's career.
But when they lost in Seattle this year, I believe the score was 44-22, McBride had, I think, 127 receiving yards.
So he's a guy who stands out on a Cardinals team with no expectations.
Will Johnson, their second-year corner, recently said they have an opportunity to surprise a lot of people.
They can surprise everyone because no one expects anything from the Cardinals.
0-17 would not be a surprise.
1-16, not a surprise.
They have to deal with the other three teams, all of whom are Super Bowl caliber in their division twice.
Their schedule is not otherwise easy.
They could be destined for the first overall pick in the draft.
So anything they do, if they win five games, that'll surprise people.
If they're in playoff contention, that'll surprise people.
So look, we've seen it before.
We spend so much time in the offseason talking about who's gotten better, who's gotten worse, who's going to contend, who's not going to contend.
That completely overlooks necessarily the reality that people are going to get injured and that's going to change everything.
You can't factor that into your conversations about what's going to happen in the upcoming season.
But there are teams that end up being better than we thought they were going to be.
Maybe Mike LaFleur goes in there as the new head coach and he lights the right fire and they just take off.
So regardless, they got to go to Seattle at some point and Trey McBride doesn't like playing there.
And boy, it would be a great opportunity to catch the Seahawks flat-footed because it's one of the soft spots in their schedule.
And that's the thing about having the target on your back.
The other team always brings the A game.
You never get a team that is coasting.
You're the one that's more likely to do the coasting.
