You can't. If Azrael absorbs a projectile, he is completely safe. It is the same as Hakumen countering a move. It is invincible throughout the recovery of it. He can just re-growler if he sees you trying to 5C his growler recovery.
Wouldn't it be better to try doing the anti Azrael backdash OS while he is recovering from growler if you want to rush him down?
