So props to 24 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: Danny six. 25 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 4: Hard work for the Dallas MAVs and the Dallas Stars 26 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 4: coming off the Rangers World Series title. 27 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: So I even forgot about that. You're just on a roll. 28 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, there's just one team not involved, Craig. 29 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 3: Yes, we don't. 30 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: Care about that team. 31 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 4: A lot of people are expressing that same sentiment online. 32 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 4: Very exciting. Thank goodness that they have the dual screen 33 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 4: option when you're watching TV, to have the MAVs and 34 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 4: the Stars and just quickly go back and forth with 35 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 4: the sound during intermission breaks or whatever you gotta do. 36 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 4: That's been clutch. 37 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: So my question is I kind of transition to football 38 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: because as we speak here on Wednesday, the team is 39 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: done fine, well, the first week of OTA's is all over. 40 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: They've got the weekend off now and it is an 41 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: extended weekend with Memorial Day. So my question is, because 42 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: we did see him at a Dallas Mavericks game earlier, 43 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: does Kyler show up to either the Mavericks or the Stars. 44 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 4: I don't know that he's a big hockey guy. Okay, 45 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 4: it would probably depend on I guess when he would 46 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 4: want to go. Is he wanting to go to a 47 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 4: game in Dallas or is he wanting to travel again? 48 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 4: I mean, he was already in Norman when he went 49 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 4: to the game against the Thunder, So I wouldn't be surprised. 50 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 4: I would be surprised if he ended up going to 51 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 4: a Stars game. I just I don't know that he's 52 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 4: a big hockey guy. 53 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: Okay, Well, the Mavericks first home game is Sunday, So 54 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: do we see him in Minnesota later on? And just 55 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: just a few hours from now here as we speak 56 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: on Wednesday? 57 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 4: Why else would you go to Minnesota. You're probably go 58 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 4: in for the game and then turn around and leave 59 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 4: on your private jet, I would imagine. 60 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: So kind of keep an eye on what K one 61 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: decides to do this weekend. 62 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 4: Because it decides to hang with Charles Barkley been there 63 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 4: in twenty years, that's true. 64 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: Does Kyler wind up on the TNT set, that would be. 65 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 4: Something shooting some more threes. We'll see. 66 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: How many of his teammates might be traveling with him 67 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: this week, and it has been fun to kind of 68 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: watch the traveling circus, if you will, a handful of guys, 69 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: typically most of the offensive lineman, but we've seen Andre Bichelli, 70 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: Michael Wilson, and Greg Dertsch as well. Whether that's a 71 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: basketball game or a d Backs game. I do think 72 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: it means something that Kyler is spending time not only 73 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: here in the facility, but away with his teammates. 74 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 4: I mean, this is what people have been asking for 75 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 4: for years now. He could have been doing this and 76 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 4: not have been as public yes about it, but I 77 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 4: do think this is great. This's what you want out 78 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 4: of a franchise quarterback, as somebody who's going to be 79 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 4: here when they don't have to be because OTAs are voluntary. 80 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 4: And Will Hernandez, his offensive lineman, when he spoke to 81 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 4: the media on Monday, said yeah, it's voluntary, but it's 82 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 4: really mandatory. If you've got Kyler, Murray, James Connor, Budda 83 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 4: Baker out here in the field, why would I not be. 84 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 4: That's the type of leader you want. And now Kyler 85 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 4: is also showing the type of teammate he is and 86 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 4: building that camaraderie in that chemistry. And he took a 87 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 4: group to Norman and they played on you know, oh 88 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 4: U's baseball field, and they saw the Heisman statue, and 89 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 4: they went to a basketball game and all of that 90 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 4: stuff that fans have been wanting to see. And I'm 91 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 4: glad that they're getting a chance to see that from 92 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 4: their quarterback this offseason. 93 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,799 Speaker 1: By the way, Paris Johnson Junior was on with Wolf 94 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: and Luke earlier this week and that video of him 95 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: and the batting cages missing everything. He joked that that 96 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: was the only the swings and misses were. What was 97 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: posted that he did make contact hitting the baseball, So 98 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: I'll take him out his word for it. I don't know. 99 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 4: I feel like the older I get, the more I 100 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 4: realize how difficult it is to really make contact with 101 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 4: like a good fast pitch. I didn't grow up like 102 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 4: a huge baseball I hated playing softball growing up because 103 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 4: it was so slow for me. So I do at 104 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 4: least have some grace for Paris of yeah, it's a 105 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 4: lot harder than it looks. 106 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: A round stick trying to hit a round ball. It's 107 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: not the easiest thing. It might be the most difficult 108 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: thing as far as you try to do in sport. 109 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 4: I think, I think scientifically it is one of, if 110 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 4: not the hardest thing to do in sports. Is at 111 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 4: least the professional right the highest level is to make contact. 112 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: So for Kyler Murray and his teammates, it's throwing a football, 113 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: catching a football as we talk about OTA's and I 114 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: know a lot of it this week has been the 115 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: news that Paris is moving to the left side and 116 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: Jonah Williams will start at right tackle. But just kind 117 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: of looking over some of my notes during Monday's practice 118 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: and I kind of lost sight of the fact that 119 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: there were a number of players that ended last season 120 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: on IR that we just kind of lost track of, 121 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: and one in particular, and we knew he was going 122 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: to be out there because we had heard from him 123 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: earlier in the season or elither of this offseason. Kaisi, 124 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: you're white wearing number seven out there, paired with Mac 125 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: Wilson Senior. As far as your two inside linebackers, you 126 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: missed seeing number seven out on the field, whether there 127 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: was a practice or a game day. But to have Kaizer, 128 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: and again you're not going full speed, it's half speed, 129 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: but just the fact that he's out there period, I 130 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: think is a huge boost to the defense. 131 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 4: When we got a chance to talk with Kaizer roughly 132 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 4: a month ago, I mean it was still phase one 133 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 4: of the offseason workouts. He had said he wasn't even 134 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 4: able to be one hundred percent in the weight room 135 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 4: at that point. So you're right to see him out 136 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 4: on the field for what is now Phase three in 137 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 4: OTAs is a big deal coming off that biceps injury 138 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 4: he suffered in Houston against the Texans, and that was 139 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 4: a big loss for the defense, which we saw immediately 140 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 4: of just how good Kaizer is at leading and calling 141 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 4: the defense and how strong of a tackler he is. 142 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm pretty sure he was still your team's 143 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 4: top tackler, like one right, he was like had one 144 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 4: more tackle or two more tackles than Buddha Baker did. 145 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 4: And Kaiser missed, however, many games, like five or six, right, 146 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 4: final six games. Yeah, so that was a huge drop off. 147 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 4: So seeing Kayzier back on the field and seeing him 148 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 4: next to Mac Wilson the Cardinals acquired this offseason was 149 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 4: definitely a nice sight to see. 150 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: Number seven and number two paired together at inside linebacker. 151 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: Also got to see Dante Stills on the field now 152 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: in talking with him at the end of last season. Yeah, 153 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: he was placed on IR with a knee injury, but 154 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: it wasn't anything serious, So the fact that he was 155 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: out there during OTA's not a big deal. John Gains, 156 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: we did see him and Danny in fact, that was 157 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: the first player what I exactly the first player that 158 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: I saw walking out to watch practice, like, hey, there's 159 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: John Gaines always not in unit. 160 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 4: It's just become a thing now of just look it. 161 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 4: It's possible when he tore his acl against the Vikings 162 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 4: in the final preseason game last year that sometimes when 163 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 4: you go in for surgery it's worse than you thought. 164 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 4: We don't have that. That's possible that that's what happened. 165 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 4: And also he's a bigger guy. The talk with Kyler 166 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 4: Murray or even zach Ertz right rehabbing the knees was okay. 167 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 4: Typically when you look around the league for you know, 168 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 4: a clean tear right successful surgery typically nine to ten months. 169 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 4: We don't know that John Gaines may or may not 170 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 4: have needed multiple surgeries. And as a bigger guy as alignman, 171 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 4: you would imagine just with the size and the weight 172 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 4: and he's trying to keep weight on to a certain 173 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 4: extent right like it would probably take I would imagine 174 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 4: closer to the ten twelve month range. So it really 175 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 4: is not to me shocking or concerning that Gaines is 176 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 4: still in sweats this early in the off season, as 177 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 4: he's rehabbing. It's a great sign that he's out there. 178 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 4: I'm just wondering, like he was backup center right And 179 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 4: the fact that Evan Brown, the offensive lineman the Cardinals 180 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 4: brought in in the offseason, well I say that we 181 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 4: saw him playing at some guard, but every offensive lineman 182 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,119 Speaker 4: was playing at every position from what we saw OTA's 183 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 4: on Monday. I am just curious of where John Gaines 184 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 4: will fit in when he comes back and how high 185 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 4: he will be on the depth chart when he makes 186 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 4: his return. 187 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: Remember when Gaines got hurt, Gannon mentioned that there was 188 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: going to be a role, a game day role for 189 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: John Gains and was just unfortunate that he hurt that knee. Now, 190 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 1: from my vantage point, couldn't quite tell if he had 191 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: a brace on the knee or not. But if you 192 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: just kind of look at where injured players kind of 193 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: their progress in the regular season, if you're out there 194 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: in practice, that means you're not rehabbing anymore, or at 195 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: least not as much. You're now kind of graduated to 196 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: the field to watch, and that's what Gaines was doing. 197 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: He was an observer watching his fellow off Fenil Lime. 198 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: So I take that as a positive whether we see 199 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: him doing anything, whether that's the rest of OTA's or 200 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: mini camp or wait until training camp. But I'm like 201 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: you very curious. Is it backup center? Is it in 202 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: the mix for left guard? Is it a backup right 203 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: guard to Will Hernandez? You drafted him for a reason. 204 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: It's still the same front office and coaching staff that 205 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: selected Gains out of UCLA. So I would hope for 206 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: his own sake that there is a spot for him 207 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: this season. 208 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 4: I would imagine there is. I don't know how significant 209 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,959 Speaker 4: that's going to be, assuming he comes back in a year, 210 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 4: let's say August. I mean, I don't know how significant 211 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 4: his playing time is going to be in September or 212 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 4: even October, as he just gets reacquainted and back into 213 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 4: playing shape and getting comfortable right and finding his routine again. 214 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 4: I do think the second half of the year, right, like, 215 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 4: assuming he is picking up where he left off, Yeah, 216 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 4: I do think that there will be some role for him. 217 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 4: It might just be a situation where it's kind of 218 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 4: let's get what we can out of you this year, 219 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 4: and then this time next year. Next offseason is the 220 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 4: big push for him, So. 221 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: We keep our eyes on number fifty nine and hopefully 222 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: see that fifty nine uniform on the field at some 223 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: point this offseason. A couple of other observations, and this 224 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: is all it is in observation, not a report. Heck, 225 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: things might have changed in the days that we were 226 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: not on the football field. But when these players break 227 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: up into position drills so their position groups, hard not 228 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: to notice that Cameron Thomas and Victor d. Mucagee a 229 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: couple of outside linebackers. We're getting some work in with 230 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: the defensive lineman. And again maybe that was just a 231 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: one day thing trial see if it works. But if 232 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: this defense is going to go a little bit more 233 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: heavy on defensive lineman, whether that's four down linemen or 234 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: a five down lineman and maybe a little bit less 235 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: in that outside linebacker room, makes sense, especially for Cameron 236 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: who did play a little in that three point stance 237 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: at San Diego State. Not so sure about Victor at Duke, 238 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: but you have two guys that are kind of like, 239 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: not as big as far as size or wait as 240 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: a Darius Robinson, but maybe in that frame to where 241 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: you could play with your hand in the dirt as 242 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: a defensive end, not in the interior, but as an 243 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: edge guy. 244 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 4: Victor d mcagee was two years ago as a draft pick, 245 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 4: so that's the old front office, same with cam Thomas. 246 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 4: The cam Thomas if this is an official move, which 247 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 4: if you read the tea leaves, based on what we 248 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 4: saw this time last year with Zaven Collins working with 249 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 4: the outside linebackers, that wouldn't make sense for cam Thomas 250 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 4: to move to the D line group. He could be 251 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 4: a player they kind of move around depending on the 252 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 4: downs or the packages or whatnot. But based on his 253 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 4: size and the fact that he hasn't had true consistency, 254 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 4: hasn't really been that sort of threat, that makes sense. 255 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 4: The Victor d mccagee move is interesting to me. I 256 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 4: wonder if this is just this coaching staff in front 257 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 4: office trying to find a place that works best for him. 258 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 4: I think it's pretty clear though, to have this move 259 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 4: that it's an important year for the two of them. Look, 260 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 4: it's an important year for everyone, right. You're always playing 261 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 4: for your job, you're coaching for your job. I get 262 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 4: that we've seen that there is there's no allegiance. Right, 263 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 4: So if you're coming in and you're going into year 264 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 4: three and you're having a position change, you really need 265 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 4: to prove that you are making the most that and 266 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 4: you are grasping that very quickly and proving your value 267 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 4: to being on this roster. Saban Collins is a great 268 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 4: example in his third year last year making the move 269 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 4: fully outside outside linebacker. I know his fifth year option 270 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 4: didn't get picked up, and that makes sense because they 271 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 4: were really going off of one year. But he did 272 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 4: make an impact and there are high expectations for him 273 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 4: to make a jump going into this year, and I 274 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 4: believe even general manager Mani Austin for it, says that 275 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 4: they want to end up having Zave and Collins be 276 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 4: a cardinal for a long time. You just need to 277 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 4: see more of him and need to see that jump 278 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 4: in year two. So it's just as important now for 279 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 4: Cam Thomas and Victor d mccagee. Assuming that these are 280 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 4: official moves to being more with the D line rather 281 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 4: than your pass rushers. That tells me, okay, like spotlight 282 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 4: is on you, you really need to earn your spot 283 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 4: this year. 284 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: Size wise, Cameron Thomas sixty four two sixty seven, Victor 285 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: D McCage six two two sixty two compared to Darius 286 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: Robinson sixty five to eighty five Dante still sixty four 287 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: to two eighty six height wise, not that much of 288 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: a difference, but a twenty twenty pound difference in weight 289 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: as far as those pair of players, and again this 290 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: is what they're listed on the roster. Not exactly sure 291 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: where Cameron is weighing at right now, or even Victor. 292 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: But to your point about the previous front office, there 293 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: are just six total players including Cameron Thomas and vict 294 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: you're do mcagee six out of the total of thirty 295 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: two over the previous four draft classes, not counting twenty 296 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: twenty three. Just six players. So trying to find is 297 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: there a spot on the roster for these guys, Otherwise 298 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: they're going to be along with a lot of different 299 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: players that just didn't quite make it with this new front. 300 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 4: Office, right And I think there is an opportunity, especially 301 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 4: when you're looking at the physical traits of a Cam 302 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 4: Thomas to really fit in with this D line group. 303 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 4: It's just something that I think is really going to 304 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 4: get a lot of attention, especially come training camp, because 305 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 4: that's really where you gotta Those are the final opportunities 306 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 4: you have to prove your value. 307 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: Speaking of the D line, got to shout out defensive 308 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: line coach Derek Leblant. He is out on the field, 309 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: even though we were told on Monday that not to 310 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: expect him on the football field because he tore his 311 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: achilles and his squad playing with some of his kids, 312 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: and there he was grandkids. Okay, and he's out there. 313 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: Not only is he out there, he's coaching a little bit, 314 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: but leaving some of that to William Piegler, the assistant 315 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: D line coach. But he's out there on crutches, using 316 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: the cart to get around, on a wheelchair to get 317 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: from the downstairs to the upstairs. So I give him 318 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: a lot of credit for being out there and toughen it. 319 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: I think he just got sick and tired of being 320 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: in the office and not being outside. 321 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 4: I mean being in the heat. When you've got his 322 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 4: entire right leg is wrapped in a cast in a 323 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 4: brace so it has to stay straight, I mean oof. 324 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 4: That sounds miserable. So props to him for being out there. 325 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 4: Plus thankfully that the D line area for most of 326 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 4: their work is shaded good point, so that I'm sure helps. 327 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: He and wide receiver coach Drew Terrell probably the two 328 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: happiest coaches following the draft, So to some extent, I'm 329 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: sure Derek wanted to be actually on the football field 330 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: to see some of these new pieces that were either 331 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: signing for agency or added in the draft. So yeah, 332 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: those those two, they have a big smile on their 333 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: face and that's going to continue until well throughout these 334 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 1: entire season. 335 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 4: I think, well, yeah, they each got a first round pick. 336 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: Well, and Derek basically had his entire room rearranged and 337 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: reorganized with Justin Jones, Blall Nichols, and Kyrie's Tonga. So 338 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: plus L. J. 339 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 3: Collier is back. 340 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: That's basic. That's that's that's the room right there. Needed 341 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: a lot of help, more help coming for this Arizona 342 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: Cardinals team as we continue here on Cardinals Cover two 343 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,479 Speaker 1: presented by Hundai, probably partner of the Arizona Cardinals. And 344 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: this is in the area of running back Trey Benson, 345 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: the Cardinals rookie tailback. We had a chance Stanny and 346 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: I had a chance to talk with the third round 347 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: pick after rookie mini camp. So this was a couple 348 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: of weeks ago. We've held it in the can. But 349 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: now that these players are on the football field going 350 00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: through somewhat of a football activity. Thought we would play 351 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: that interview now because I do believe Danny that Trey's 352 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: going to have a role on this team. Just how 353 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: much of a role depending on the availability of a 354 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: James Connor. Do you keep him fresh, you spare him 355 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: a little bit as far as reps, but you draft 356 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: a running back in the third round, the second running 357 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: back selected in the draft, Yeah, You're gonna see a 358 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: lot of Trey Benson this season, I would believe. 359 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 4: I agree. I am interested to see what the plan 360 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 4: and the thought process is of utilizing all of the 361 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 4: skill sets in that room. We know that offensive corner 362 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 4: Drew Petsing is going to run the ball. That's not 363 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 4: a question. He has the talent. But when you look 364 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 4: at the rest of the room, everybody brings something a 365 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 4: little different. When you add a rookie and Trey Benson, 366 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 4: he has the size of James Connor, but he is 367 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 4: fast and I'm not saying that as a knock on 368 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 4: j Seep. Benson has got wheels, he's got size, and 369 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 4: he's got speed. Is he your true numbernumber two? And 370 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 4: then you supplement with a Michael Carter or is Michael 371 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 4: Carter going to be your number two, and you'll just 372 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 4: supplement Benson whenever Connor needs arrest. They're just And how 373 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 4: does Amari de Mercado, who was your big, you know, 374 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 4: third down back, going to play into this? Because you've 375 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 4: also got DJ Dallas who you signed this offseason, likely 376 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 4: for more of a special teams role. But do we 377 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 4: really see the Cardinals hanging on to five or if 378 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 4: they bring in another in camp six running backs? I'm 379 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 4: not so sure. 380 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: I do. I believe James Connor Trey Benson both locks 381 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: on the roster, and everything after that is kind of 382 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,959 Speaker 1: maybe up in the air, depending on how you feel 383 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: this roster is going to be offensively and the special 384 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: teams the importance of that. But Trey Benson, six feet 385 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: two hundred pounds ran a sub four forty at the combine. 386 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 1: Let's hear from the Cardinals sixty six overall pick, third 387 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: round selection out of Florida State. Let's start here. We've 388 00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: all seen the draft call video that the Arizona Cardinals 389 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: posted on social media. There was an extension of that 390 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 1: video that you posted as well, and included the phone 391 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: call conversation that you had with Florida State head coach 392 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: Mike Norvell. I bring that up because it wasn't that 393 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: long ago. He was talking about coaching Novell just down 394 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 1: the street as the offensive coordinator at Arizona State. That 395 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: relationship that you have with him transferring from Oregon to 396 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: Florida State, what does that mean to you? 397 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 5: I mean everything? He so like the porter he called me. 398 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 5: Actually he gave my first offer of the high school 399 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 5: when he was at Methy's. He gave my first offense. 400 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 5: We just we always had the relationship, you know, when 401 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 5: I was intent of high school and I ended up 402 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,199 Speaker 5: going to Oregon. And then once I transferred, he was 403 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 5: the first phone call, you know, he called me first, 404 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 5: and we just picked up what we left off. And he 405 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 5: didn't have to take that chance with me because I 406 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 5: was just coming off a knee injury. I didn't have 407 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 5: no feem and just him taking the chance on me, 408 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 5: I mean a lot. 409 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 4: As you're getting now into rookie mining camp, there's been 410 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 4: a lot of changes, and it's just the start of it. 411 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 4: You you know, haven't even had time to find a house. 412 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 4: You guys are all staying in a hotel together and 413 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 4: it's all football right now. Has it been able to 414 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 4: hit you quite yet. What's been going on the last 415 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 4: two weeks after getting drafted for you to get ready 416 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 4: to come here and you had your first practice on Friday. 417 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 3: It's still I don't know, it still has to hit 418 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 3: me yet. Just still learning and still learning the people. 419 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 5: You know, just I'm all about relationships, So I'm just 420 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 5: really just trying to focus on relationships around me and 421 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 5: learn the playbook and you know. 422 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 3: Just soak it out in. But it's still I don't 423 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 3: think it hit me yet. 424 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: Speak excuse me speaking of relationships. Your relationship before you 425 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 1: even got here. Well, fellow running back Michael Carden, that 426 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: relationship and how much you think that will one, let 427 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: everyone know how you first met Michael and in two 428 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: what that relationship may mean as far as an easier 429 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: transition here to the NFL. 430 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 5: See, I was training in tumble for the combine and 431 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 5: he had he got a seven or seve between him 432 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 5: and his brother, and they had a tournament in Temple, 433 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 5: and I was out there and I seen him, and 434 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 5: I kind of I watched him when I was in 435 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 5: college while I probably was like a senior. I think 436 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,719 Speaker 5: he was in u ain C. Now I watched him 437 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 5: down was like then Michael Carter. So I went up 438 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 5: to him and stuff, and he already knew he alread 439 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 5: knew my name and stuff. 440 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 3: So you know that just that was surreal to me. 441 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 5: And you know, once I met him, we clicked instantly 442 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 5: and we just all laughed and you thought we known 443 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 5: each other for years. And soon as I got drafted, 444 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 5: I looked at my phone. He was the first face 445 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 5: miss FaceTime car. So I FaceTime back and I said, 446 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 5: let's go. Man, I feel like I met him for 447 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 5: a reason. So and I'm pretty sure he'll take me 448 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 5: on his wing and you know, hit me with the offense. 449 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 4: So how would you describe your style of play? Because 450 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 4: there's a lot of different styles in that running backs room. 451 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 4: It's it's a nice mix right now. And Michael Carter 452 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 4: is a pretty slippery and a gile and talk together. 453 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 4: How would you describe the style you're adding to that room. 454 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 5: Uh, I feel like I'm bigger, like big like James coming. 455 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 5: But I'm fast, like I'm bitch big and fast. Honestly, 456 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 5: I bring that you know that not too many people 457 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 5: had that the size and the speed that I feel 458 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 5: like I have. So really, just you know, just bring 459 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 5: in the running back room and really just soaking it 460 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 5: all in and just learning from those guys and you know, 461 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 5: anything else slacking. They could teach me like anything they 462 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 5: need here, but I can help them even though I'm 463 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 5: a rickie. But I'm really just trying to, you know, 464 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 5: take it out mean and learn from them. 465 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,439 Speaker 1: Have you always been faster? Is that something that you 466 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: kind of developed scrowing up? 467 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 3: Always been fast? 468 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 5: My first day I was touching the football, I just 469 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 5: still got the start, running with and just out ranging everyone. 470 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 5: So I knew it was I knew I was gonna 471 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 5: be fast. 472 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 1: The third fastest combine forty among running backs four three nine. 473 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 3: Happy with that or no? 474 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 5: No, I promise you it could have been way faster 475 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 5: than the fourth three nine. There was my worst start 476 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 5: that I've had there, Like that was my worst start 477 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 5: I had in months. I just didn't run the game 478 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 5: because the four to three was my goal, But I 479 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 5: really feel like I could have hit the late four too. 480 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 4: You know You're gonna fit in very well here because 481 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 4: that's a common argument I feel like in the locker 482 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 4: room of who is the fastest and not just receivers, 483 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 4: running backs, quarterbacks. Kyler Murray's always in that discussion as well, 484 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 4: So you're probably gonna fit and that's how you feel. 485 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 3: I used watching him growing up. 486 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: That's kinda that's gonna make a little older. 487 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 5: I was like in the tenth grade. I used to 488 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 5: watch him, and he was in high school all the 489 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 5: way to college. And it's crazy now just playing with 490 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 5: him on the team. 491 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 4: It's crazy you ended up with number thirty three. Was 492 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 4: that one of the situations where it's kind of random 493 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 4: the numbers given to you or did you pick that 494 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 4: with any intention? 495 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 5: Nah, it was kind of given, but they kind of 496 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 5: looked out for him because I had number three at 497 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 5: my old school. So double it up, double it up. Now, 498 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 5: just give me thirty three, So double trouble now. 499 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 4: Just double trouble. I like that. 500 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: How did it look? How did it feel?

Like? 504 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 3: It didn't feel real at all? 505 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 5: It did don't feel real, Like even though I'm right 506 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 5: here talking now, I don't feel real. 507 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 3: I'm just living in the moment.

He had a lot of 546 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 4: extra energy sitting down excitement when he talked to the 547 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 4: media ahead of Friday's practice. Now that the rookies were 548 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 4: in the building, what were your initial impressions. I know 549 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 4: you probably got a chance to talk them throughout the 550 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 4: draft process, so being here, just initial impressions of JG 551 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 4: and this coaching staff and what the expectations are. 552 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 3: They remind this whole coaster reminds me of the coaster 553 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 3: at Florida State. 554 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 5: So that's all. If I said that didn't mean this 555 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 5: is a great coaching step. 556 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 3: JJ. 557 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 5: You remind me of coach, No, Bill, you know, they 558 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 5: both they probably like the same age, really same age 559 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 5: saying sense of human Uh yeah, So I know, I 560 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 5: just know he's going to be like how I was 561 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 5: in my previous school, and I'm really looking forward to it. 562 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: Trey. We appreciate it, and I know it's kind of 563 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 1: been a whirlwin since the draft and now rookie mini camp. 564 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: So best of luck and very much looking forward to 565 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 1: seeing you on Sundays. 566 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 3: Okay, wait, thank you. 567 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: So I like that double trouble something that we just 568 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: kind of fell into when we were talking about his 569 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: number going from three to thirty three. So, by the way, 570 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: it looked good on him during the rookie premiere in 571 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. As far as the Players Association, he was 572 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: a Cardinals representative, full decked out uniform in the home 573 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 1: red uniform. It looked good. 574 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 4: Well, see if he keeps it, because now we're at 575 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 4: the point here where we've got ninety players that we're 576 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 4: going to memorize players with numbers through training camp, and 577 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 4: then as soon as the roster gets cut, a third 578 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 4: of these players are going to change their numbers and 579 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 4: it's just going to restart the whole process. All over again. 580 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 3: Yeahs A. 581 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: Jones brought that up. Is like, I couldn't have asked 582 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 1: about his number twelve, which he's sharing right now with Blake, Like, yeah, 583 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: there's too many guys here. I couldn't get a number. 584 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: So yeah, they'll there'll be some turnover. I mean, we 585 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,360 Speaker 1: know the main guys won't, but expect some changes, especially 586 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: from some of those reserve players. 587 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, but it was nice to get to know Trey's 588 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 4: personality a little bit more and get to hear from 589 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 4: the rookie. 590 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 3: Again. 591 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: It's not just us that think Trey Benson has a 592 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: role for this team, but there is a number of 593 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: these players in this draft class that I think has 594 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: captured the attention of people, not only locally but nationally 595 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: as well. And one such person is Mike Clay. ESPN 596 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: senior writer had a big story up on espn dot 597 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,959 Speaker 1: com projecting top five NFL rookie leaders by stat categories 598 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: seven different categories passing, rushing, receiving, touchdowns, tackles, interception sacks. 599 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: Cardinals had players listed in each category but the passing category. 600 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: They don't have a rookie quarterback, But we talk about 601 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: Trey Benson and he had talking about Mike Mike Clay. 602 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: He had Trey Benson number two, two behind Jonathan Brooks, 603 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: who was the Panther's second round pick and the number 604 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: two or the first running back selected, but had Benson 605 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: with five hundred and seven yards and three touchdowns. Projection, 606 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: you had that to James Connor a year ago. That's 607 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: fifteen hundred yards rushing between those two. Knock on wood. 608 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: If everyone stays healthy and year, opportunities are available. 609 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, we talked with us a little off air. I 610 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 4: don't I don't read into this article personally like at all, 611 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 4: if any. I mean, we don't know what his role 612 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 4: is going to be, which is the whole point. It's 613 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 4: a projection, right, Like, we can't sit here and say 614 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 4: he's going to be a one two punch with James Connor. 615 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 4: If that might not be the plan, right as a rookie. 616 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 4: His plan might be to supplement, and we just don't 617 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 4: know what the goal of that is. This was also 618 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 4: written before Kien Williams got hurt in LA and so 619 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 4: Blake Korum would probably jump Trey Benson what twelve hours 620 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 4: after this article was written, So I just I take 621 00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 4: it with a grain of salt. Right, there are certain 622 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,239 Speaker 4: things that make sense having Marvin Harrison junior up there 623 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 4: in terms of rookie wide receivers and Max Melton because 624 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 4: Max Melton doesn't have true competition to start opposite of 625 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 4: Sean Murphy Bunting. So again, yes, it is nice to 626 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 4: have the national attention and recognition of the draft and 627 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 4: the draft class specifically. I don't really take much of 628 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,479 Speaker 4: this information because it's stuff we've already talked about, right, Like, 629 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 4: it makes sense when you're looking at the other rookies 630 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 4: and where the needs were and the fact that the 631 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 4: Cardinals had so many and so many high draft picks 632 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 4: that of course you're expecting these picks to make an impact. 633 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: And to your point, the national perspective on what Monte 634 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: Austin Ford has done now in two draft classes and 635 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: seeing the talent that he has captured onto this roster, 636 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: and now you hope that there are roles for all 637 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: of these. Yes, Marvin Harrison tops as far as rookie 638 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: wide receivers over eleven hundred yards six touchdowns. By the way, 639 00:30:55,560 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: one thousand receiving yards is that one very doable. But 640 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: you expect more from MHJA in year one. What are 641 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: your expectations as a number one wide receiver within this 642 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: offense that has Trey McBride, has James Connor, and we 643 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: know that it's run first, established the run, But could 644 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 1: we see seventy five plus yards on a regular basis 645 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: each week? From Marvin Harrison Junior. 646 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 4: I don't love the idea of putting a stat expectation 647 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 4: on a rookie that I think we've seen catch two 648 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 4: passes in like the two weeks he's been a cardinal. 649 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 4: Not saying he doesn't have the talent from what we 650 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 4: saw him from him getting drafted. I just I don't 651 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 4: love putting a stat expectation of he's got to get 652 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 4: seventy five or one hundred yards and every game is 653 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 4: a rookie, Otherwise he wasn't worth the fourth overall pick, don't. 654 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 4: I don't like that. It depends on so many different 655 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 4: factors of an offense. It depends on your quarterback, it 656 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 4: depends on the defenses you're playing, what type of attention 657 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 4: he's getting. There's so much involved. I do think it's 658 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 4: doable for him to get a thousand receiving yards just 659 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 4: based on him coming in and being a true number 660 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 4: one receiver, and you've got size and skill and capability 661 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 4: opposite in Michael Wilson, and you've got Trey McBride, like, 662 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 4: there are plenty of weapons that are going to demand 663 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 4: attention to where you would expect Mhja to be open 664 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 4: and even if not, make those contested throws. But I 665 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 4: don't want to sit here and say I think it's 666 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 4: fair that he can right off the bat, come in 667 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 4: and say, yeah, he's got to have seventy five receiving 668 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 4: yards every game. That to me, I'm not going to 669 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 4: sit here and do that. 670 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: It's really hard because you draft these players, and if 671 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: you're drafted in the first round, there's an expectation. If 672 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: you're drafted on Day three, there's an expectation, and all 673 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 1: of a sudden, those expectations, Okay, how do you perform 674 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: Week one? And then we react to week one as all, 675 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,479 Speaker 1: you didn't live up to your expectations or you were 676 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: a surprise because we weren't expecting a lot from you. 677 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 3: So I get it. 678 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: And again it's the off season, so you have time 679 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: now to kind of think about this, But how do 680 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: these players fit within the offense or a defense? You 681 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 1: brought up Max Melton fifth among rookies as far as 682 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: tackles according to Mike Clay, fourth as far as interceptions, 683 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: and Darius Robinson, which I do like this as far 684 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 1: as sack totals seconds among rookies, behind only lat To. 685 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: Lat To and Darius Robinson projected to have just over 686 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: five sacks this season. Danny five sacks would rank second 687 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 1: behind Dennis Kardek a year ago. 688 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 4: So would be great. 689 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: If Darius can get a handful of sacks one that 690 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: means he's playing, playing well, staying healthy, and then maybe 691 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: that entire defensive line is a product of whether that's 692 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: Darius on the outside or someone else. But if he 693 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: can get five sacks, I think that's a number that 694 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: certainly everyone would like and you would hope that he 695 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: would have that type of an impact, whether it's sacks 696 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: or whatever, but making an impact each and every week 697 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 1: for these rookies that are out on that football field. 698 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 4: And I think he's poised for success. When you're looking 699 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 4: at that room, he might not even be a starter 700 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 4: week one, just because you've got so much veteran presence 701 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 4: and we don't quite know yet, you know, how many 702 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 4: d linemen are going to be lined up, especially if 703 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 4: you're going to have Mac Wilson and Kay's You're white 704 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 4: out on the field as your linebackers. It might be 705 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 4: ballall Nichols, Justin Jones and maybe an LJ. Collier Right now, 706 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 4: I like that idea of getting Darius Robinson's feet wet, 707 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 4: putting him out there in certain situations. Right you know 708 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:26,840 Speaker 4: it's third and long and it's going to be a 709 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 4: passing situation, and get him out there for a few 710 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 4: run stops as well, and get him in that rotation 711 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 4: which we know we're going to see on the D 712 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,359 Speaker 4: line to begin with. So I'd be happy with five sacks. Again, 713 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 4: I don't feel like they're trapping me in the same thing. 714 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:40,839 Speaker 4: I don't want to sit here and put a number 715 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 4: of expectation on a. 716 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: Rookie in case they all of a sudden they don't 717 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:45,400 Speaker 1: hit that mark and all of a sudden you were 718 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 1: a failure because you didn't get that number. So yeah, no, 719 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 1: I get it. 720 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 4: M I z zou say. 721 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 1: I love how your face just lights up when you 722 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 1: talk about Darius Robinson. 723 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 4: Okays, are you not the one who finds every excuse 724 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 4: under the point? 725 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: I'm right there with you, Yeah, I. 726 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 4: Just just don't have There is a reason why. 727 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: I got Garrett Williams in one interception. So I'm holding 728 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: out hope, Danny, holding out hope. By the way, if 729 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: you want to see these rookies in action, your first opportunity. 730 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:20,359 Speaker 1: We got the preseason schedule finalize home opener.
