Speaker 1: It sounds impossible, nearly insurmountable, but wolf with full effort
Speaker 1: here over the next hour on the Big Red Rage
Speaker 1: presented by satan Ford and Gilbert, we are satan Ford.
Speaker 1: I think it is achievable. I think that the real
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football can save America and at least Arizona
Speaker 1: from Jets Broncos's that's our save America from the own
Speaker 1: three Jets against the Owen three Broncos from don't call
Speaker 1: him Mark Rippin, It's Brett Rippin, and Sam is not
Speaker 1: the man Darnold coming off the two picks, sixes and
Speaker 1: three interceptions in his last game. You know, even though
Speaker 1: I might have gotten a little over my skis at
Speaker 1: this time a week ago when I said the Cardinals
Speaker 1: at two and oh, we're about to save us all
Speaker 1: from twenty twenty, that might have been a little paully premature,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna have to back off that a little
Speaker 1: bit right now, Sam Darnold actually run forty six yards
Speaker 1: for a touch shock. Is that what you're trying to
Speaker 1: tell me right now? Paul? My phone has not been
Speaker 1: compatible with Thursday night Football, So I have no idea.
Speaker 1: I have no I tried to stream it right here.
Speaker 1: I can't. I have no clue. You tell me, yeah,
Speaker 1: I actually, Paul, I'm trying to hunt that down myself,
Speaker 1: because that was a rumor. That was a rumor floating
Speaker 1: around the newsroom here in studio Shangra Law at some
Speaker 1: house some way. This guy ran for forty six yards
Speaker 1: at a touchdown. I don't believe it, but you're gonna
Speaker 1: have to confirm it a little bit later, because right now, Paul,
Speaker 1: we're doing a show. What's upon a time? Didn't Steve
Speaker 1: Bono goes seventy something yards on that end around right
Speaker 1: against sun Double Stadium? We all remember that. Yeah, when
Speaker 1: you when you say Sam Darnold going forty six yards,
Speaker 1: that's what I think of right away. But yes, it's
Speaker 1: it is Thursday night, it is a Cardinals team coming
Speaker 1: off the loss against Detroit, and a few of us, Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe yours truly maybe got a little premature with a
Speaker 1: whole Heymatt, Patricia, you're gonna need another pencil. One isn't
Speaker 1: enough for the legs and armor Kayler Murray, And yes,
Speaker 1: we may or may not have had him going five
Speaker 1: and zero entering Monday night football against So will if
Speaker 1: you tell me what happened and what level of concern
Speaker 1: do you have, if any? Right now? I'm really not concerned, Polly.
Speaker 1: And the reason why is because Kyler Murray went out
Speaker 1: and through three interceptions. Two of those I think we're
Speaker 1: bad interceptions, and I think Kyler Murray would tell you
Speaker 1: that himself. Two of those interceptions that were turnovers deep
Speaker 1: in the Cardinals own zone. The Lions got the ball
Speaker 1: on the twenty two yard line and the twenty six
Speaker 1: yard line, you're basically giving up six points at that
Speaker 1: point in time, you're giving up six points. Well, the
Speaker 1: defense did a nice job going out there and keeping
Speaker 1: it to ten. Okay to me, yeah, it would have
Speaker 1: been great if they would have been able to just
Speaker 1: keep it to six points. But that's a tough proposition
Speaker 1: for any defense to go out there, quick change after
Speaker 1: a turnover and keep the other team out of the
Speaker 1: end zone right there. I thought they did a nice
Speaker 1: job actually, And that's the one area. One of the
Speaker 1: areas that the Cardinals defense really is playing pretty well,
Speaker 1: Polly is in the red zone. Yea, their number two
Speaker 1: is a matter of fact, and red zone defense that's
Speaker 1: pretty dog gone good. Number two in red zone number
Speaker 1: one and third down, Hello, they've been good and quick change.
Speaker 1: As you just documented. Here's the thing. They don't have
Speaker 1: any interceptions. And it was a game where the offense
Speaker 1: committed three turnovers with the picks and there were zero takeaways.
Speaker 1: And the percentages say that is a monumental challenge to
Speaker 1: get a win. And sure enough, that last second field
Speaker 1: goal was Zeros on the clock was like a kick
Speaker 1: to the gut that game winner, and the Cardinals end
Speaker 1: up on the short end twenty six, twenty three, And
Speaker 1: now they get a Carolina team that just ended a
Speaker 1: ten game losing streak, albeit minus Christian McCaffrey. But it's
Speaker 1: on the road, and we all know that Matt Roland
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury have a history. So there are a lot
Speaker 1: of intriguing storylines on that one. Did we mention that
Speaker 1: Andy Isabella is joining us tonight on the Big Red Rage?
Speaker 1: After a two touchdown performance run hopeful, just getting rolling,
Speaker 1: all brought to you by Santan four. Murray takes play action,
Speaker 1: Murray moving to his left, jukes a defender in the
Speaker 1: five dies but the end zone in his end but
Speaker 1: a touchdown. He did it again. He made the defender
Speaker 1: look silly out in space. Woooooooooooo wall. That was nasty
Speaker 1: right there, rights the move that Kyler murtherer he put on.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Stooges couldn't have done it any better
Speaker 1: than that Wolf? Was that Larry? Was that Curly? Was
Speaker 1: that Shemp? Who was that? That was Curly? Right there?
Speaker 1: Not Larry, of course, not moll Curly, of course, sure
Speaker 1: because on the sideline. Remember I used to say, welcome
Speaker 1: back into the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford
Speaker 1: and Gilbert Andy Isabella straight ahead on this edition, our
Speaker 1: week four edition. Remember I used to say that nothing
Speaker 1: would get the sideline up and off the bench and
Speaker 1: fired up like a running back. Just trucking a defender
Speaker 1: Wells was great. David Johnson, Right, Okay, there's a new
Speaker 1: one though. When Kyler Murray does that, When Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: just clowns especially a dB in space and then houses it,
Speaker 1: even if it's a one yard run like that, it
Speaker 1: just I cannot tell you how everyone gets fired. Probably
Speaker 1: the moment on the Sunday without any fans to feed off.
Speaker 1: It's a big deal. Patrick Peterson came over this big,
Speaker 1: flying faux karate kick, you know, just celebrated. It's just
Speaker 1: to put that in perspective. And Rob Frederickson and Bertrand
Speaker 1: Berry we're talking about on the pregame show. Guys fear that,
Speaker 1: don't they not just getting beat but getting embarrassed. Oh,
Speaker 1: no doubt about it, bully, they really do. Nobody wants
Speaker 1: to get trucked. Nobody wants to get run over in
Speaker 1: front of their wife sitting up in row five right
Speaker 1: in four kids. I'm just saying small though they might be.
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to get embarrassed out there when you've got
Speaker 1: your family sitting in the stands. While not now with
Speaker 1: COVID of course, but you get my point, Bolly overall
Speaker 1: watching it's the same thing with players. Players don't want
Speaker 1: to be embarrassed. They know they're gonna sit down watch
Speaker 1: the tape on Monday, and suddenly you're one on one
Speaker 1: with Barry Sanders. Yeah, you're gonna drop your drawers metaphorically speaking. Well, look,
Speaker 1: that was a highlight, but there were things that Kyler
Speaker 1: was not happy with. In fact, he took the blame.
Speaker 1: It's Kyler took the blame for the turnovers three interceptions.
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury took the blame for his play calling. Coach
Speaker 1: is always hard on himself. And here they are after
Speaker 1: the game talking about the twenty six twenty three last
Speaker 1: second loss to the Lions as part of the game
Speaker 1: and playing his game. My whole life dealt with obstacles,
Speaker 1: ups and downs. There's gonna be adversity in every game.
Speaker 1: That's just part of it. We understand that if I
Speaker 1: will turn the ball over three times a day. We
Speaker 1: put ourselves in a better chaft to one day game.
Speaker 1: Definitely pushing the m love. He's trying to make a
Speaker 1: lot of plays and create and you got to walk
Speaker 1: that fine line and you know he's going to be
Speaker 1: aggressive and that's what we want. And even with all that,
Speaker 1: we had the ball at the chance to win the
Speaker 1: game at the end, and his kind of playmak ability
Speaker 1: allows us to do that even more or not playing
Speaker 1: at our best, he keeps us in those games. But
Speaker 1: we'll continue to clean that up and I think as
Speaker 1: the season goes on, that'll be less of an issue.
Speaker 1: On game Plan his weekly TV show Wolf that we host,
Speaker 1: I asked coach Kingsbury, was there a lesson learned there
Speaker 1: for a young team? And he said, you can't give
Speaker 1: away games. That's a game that I feel like we
Speaker 1: should have won. Yeah, to you, what stood out big
Speaker 1: picture on that? Well, honestly, I didn't think the team
Speaker 1: overall played poorly in all three phases. I really didn't
Speaker 1: believe that. Paula. I think the offense I Kyler Murray,
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. You can't talk about the
Speaker 1: offense without talking about Kyler Murray. But I thought the
Speaker 1: other ten guys on the field went out there and
Speaker 1: they competed, and I thought Kyler competed as well. It's
Speaker 1: going to happen to some young quarterbacks. It's going to happen.
Speaker 1: You're gonna go out there as you're developing and you're
Speaker 1: gonna throw picks. Again, I think only two of them
Speaker 1: you could really put at Kyler's feet. Now, I don't
Speaker 1: know schematically if Cliff Kingsbury would disagree with that and say, no,
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have called that play in that situation. But
Speaker 1: I thought there were two picks that you could look
Speaker 1: at Kyler and say, boy, those were bad. The one
Speaker 1: where he got his arm hit, that one to Dan
Speaker 1: Arnold where it was batted up in the area. I
Speaker 1: think that's PAULI that's gonna happen. But what I love
Speaker 1: about all of this, Number one, the accountability from Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1: I love that Paul, just the fact that he said
Speaker 1: it the way that it is. You know what, if
Speaker 1: I don't go out there and throw those three picks,
Speaker 1: we probably win this game. He said it the way
Speaker 1: that it was. I absolutely love the accountability coming from
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, but asked me, if I'm worried, Paul asked me,
Speaker 1: if I'm worried this kid. You listen to this kid
Speaker 1: talk right here. This Kyler Murray is so resilient, Paul resilient.
Speaker 1: He's got a fierce spirit as well. This guy is
Speaker 1: a winner. There's not Kyler Murray is the least of
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals problems going forward, and he's still learning.
Speaker 1: He just made his nineteen start. And for example, he
Speaker 1: talked this week about how in the first two games
Speaker 1: against the Niners in Washington, they got a somewhat similar
Speaker 1: defensive look, similar defensive personnel, the way those defenses are constructed,
Speaker 1: and it was radically different what Matt Patricia did. There
Speaker 1: were multiple looks, there were disguised coverages. They didn't necessarily
Speaker 1: go after him. They try to box him in rush
Speaker 1: three or four, drop seven or eight. It was a
Speaker 1: different challenge for Kyler Murray in week three. I guess
Speaker 1: my question is now, do other teams, because as a
Speaker 1: copycat league, start to replicate that, Yes, Polly to your answer, yes,
Speaker 1: this is something I think they're going to continue to
Speaker 1: work on. Of course, listen, the book is still forming
Speaker 1: on Kyler Murray. But the mush rush is something that
Speaker 1: I think we're going to hear an awful lot of
Speaker 1: a strategy that teams are going to start using it,
Speaker 1: I think against Kyler Murray. And it's a strategy that
Speaker 1: was used many times against Russell Wilson earlier in his career,
Speaker 1: and to some degree, they still used this approach on
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson right collapse the pocket around him, a four
Speaker 1: man rush. Sometimes if you want to bring five, that's fine,
Speaker 1: but drop back play coverage, depend on your secondary in
Speaker 1: your DBS to make plays rush for don't open up
Speaker 1: the lane for that quarterback to get out of that pocket.
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be the approach a
Speaker 1: lot of zone being played as well, and then maybe
Speaker 1: the surprise every now and then we'll be jumping into
Speaker 1: man and hoping he makes a mistake. But yeah, we're
Speaker 1: gonna see it again. You better believe it well. As
Speaker 1: Corey Peters said, team captain, sometimes winning can be a
Speaker 1: band aid over things that we do wrong. And so
Speaker 1: guess what the band aid was just ripped off and
Speaker 1: now you can address a few things. And as good
Speaker 1: as a defense has been, Corey Peters said, it himself.
Speaker 1: They didn't get off the field at the end of
Speaker 1: the first half on a scoring drive and obviously at
Speaker 1: the end of the game. So we'll talk more about
Speaker 1: that and the latest. But out out one of the
Speaker 1: stars of the game gonna join us next. Andy Isabella
Speaker 1: on deck on the big red raiding Tylan Murray's got
Speaker 1: the ball, dropped back to throw a lot passed right
Speaker 1: corner of the ends. One on the money to Andy
Speaker 1: Isabella for the touchdown. What a pass by Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: and you see the confidence of Andy Isabella soaring for
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Thro straw grasshopper snapped the Murray rolls right,
Speaker 1: throws right, Isabella caught it. Pandy stumbles, dives and in touchdown.
Speaker 1: Andy Isabella with his second touchdown catch of the day.
Speaker 1: One step up the field and wham, run that out.
Speaker 1: He chucked the dB, he met the press and he
Speaker 1: threw him out of the way. Day passed Ron wolfully,
Speaker 1: not one but two touchdown catchers in the Cardinals last
Speaker 1: game against the Lions. The thirteen yard or the four
Speaker 1: yarder against press. The man is getting some serious separation
Speaker 1: and Wolf maybe the best news of all. If you
Speaker 1: remember back to a couple of months ago when we
Speaker 1: had one of our favorites, Andy Isabella, on the Big
Speaker 1: Red Rage. Remember what he revealed about that game ball
Speaker 1: from last year, the eighty eight yard touchdown gable, and
Speaker 1: that he was using that for his training. So now Andy,
Speaker 1: welcome to the Big Red Rage. Good evening. But you
Speaker 1: can finally put that on a shelf where it belongs,
Speaker 1: because now you have a couple other touchdown balls you
Speaker 1: can incorporate into your daily training routines. Yeah, that the
Speaker 1: eighty eight yarders getting a little old, So I got
Speaker 1: two more and two more to work with, so we'll
Speaker 1: get a lot more this season. So so I have
Speaker 1: a lot going into this all season. No, it's only
Speaker 1: three games. But how are you feeling, buddy, how are
Speaker 1: you feeling overall about the start of this season? Well,
Speaker 1: I've never felt better. It's been awesome started. I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we had we had the tough loss
Speaker 1: last week for two and one going into Carolina, and
Speaker 1: I mean, I think everyone's on a good page and
Speaker 1: we're ready to move past Detroit and we're ready to
Speaker 1: get this win. I guess both. Earlier in the show,
Speaker 1: Lesson learned on the first loss of this season. What
Speaker 1: stood out to you and what do you think, guys
Speaker 1: take away from that game? You mean, we're two and
Speaker 1: o riding high. This toy was owen two and Um,
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't take any game for granted. And
Speaker 1: the coach said that wasn't us. He in the locker
Speaker 1: room said that wasn't us. But he said, maybe it's
Speaker 1: the best thing for us. And um, but we had
Speaker 1: a we We've had a great week of practice so far,
Speaker 1: and we'll be ready to go here in Carolina. You know, Andy,
Speaker 1: you've made a lot of big plays. You've had a
Speaker 1: lot of big plays only three games into the season.
Speaker 1: Big guy, you made a lot of big plays so far.
Speaker 1: What is that doing for Your confidence is sky rocketing.
Speaker 1: And I mean it's not even I don't think it's
Speaker 1: making a big plays, just being being confident at all
Speaker 1: times and and just something my mind is. My coach says,
Speaker 1: keep a call mind, and that's what I've done. I
Speaker 1: cut the call mind this this whole these through these
Speaker 1: first three games and has really helped me. Um, just
Speaker 1: being the moment on the field and being that moment
Speaker 1: and capture that moment um, capture every opportunity that comes
Speaker 1: my way because when we talked to you at the
Speaker 1: beginning of the season, you had mentioned your rookie season
Speaker 1: that that was a key part if your evolution into
Speaker 1: becoming a pro right, gaining that confidence that if you
Speaker 1: had to give some advice to a young guy, a
Speaker 1: rookie this year, it would be no for sure that
Speaker 1: you belong here. I mean that that's a big deal,
Speaker 1: isn't it. Yeah? Absolutely, Just just being calm and taking
Speaker 1: every day and working every day and not looking too
Speaker 1: far ahead, and just being present every day and being
Speaker 1: present every every opportunity you get. And he was there
Speaker 1: a moment where you were just I don't know, you
Speaker 1: couldn't sleep one night. You were up at two three
Speaker 1: in the morning recently, and you're watching the shadows creep
Speaker 1: across the ceiling, and you said to yourself, I I
Speaker 1: belong here. I mean, I just have you had a
Speaker 1: moment where you know deep in your heart that you're
Speaker 1: going to go on, Lord willing have a ten year
Speaker 1: career in the NFL. Absolutely, I mean that's whatever you
Speaker 1: gotta visualize, You gotta visualize it, visualize that in your
Speaker 1: head um and may make it happen. I mean that's
Speaker 1: That's just one of my big things that've done this
Speaker 1: off season. Just he's met it. And visualize, visualize my success,
Speaker 1: and visualize visualize all the things that are calling my way. Well,
Speaker 1: what's the old saying, you plan your work, work your plan.
Speaker 1: Here's Cliff Kingsbury talking about Andy Isabella. He's done a
Speaker 1: nice job all through training camp, came back, game is
Speaker 1: slow down for him. Really worked hard at this craft
Speaker 1: and it was good to see him having that success
Speaker 1: once again. We got to continue to find ways to
Speaker 1: get him the football, and we have some talented white outs.
Speaker 1: We got to maximize those guys. If you were to
Speaker 1: take your film from the first month of last year
Speaker 1: to the first month of this year, three games in,
Speaker 1: where would you see the noticeable differences in your game?
Speaker 1: You think, Um, I think that just some the ability
Speaker 1: to read what the defense is doing and just having
Speaker 1: that calm mind and not not rushing. I think that
Speaker 1: was one of the things last year that was rushing
Speaker 1: everything and being this year just being calm and really
Speaker 1: making it, making it, making making it happen. You were
Speaker 1: like trying to be fast instead of just letting your
Speaker 1: speed take over. I totally you stand not as a
Speaker 1: guy that was fast, right, I was a fullback, Eddie,
Speaker 1: give me a break here, But I totally understand what
Speaker 1: you're saying here. The name one big play that you've
Speaker 1: made this year, one big play that stands out more
Speaker 1: than any other. Oh, I think that that um, the
Speaker 1: one on the goal line. I mean we're that three
Speaker 1: yard route. I mean it wasn't a great look. He
Speaker 1: he was type press and m and I stay calm.
Speaker 1: I got that look in practice. I knew what to do. Um,
Speaker 1: I didn't rush. I didn't Rushian, I didn't rushing. Run
Speaker 1: right out there, I stay calm the slope, slope plate
Speaker 1: in the and then bolted out, bolted out there. Man.
Speaker 1: I love that you said that Andy right there, because
Speaker 1: that really is That's something we all know about your speed.
Speaker 1: We know you can run by, folks, We know you
Speaker 1: can you can run by, and we could throw the
Speaker 1: ball in fifty four yards later there it is, Andy's
Speaker 1: a eighty eight yards later, right, you could touch down
Speaker 1: r exactly. We all know that. But man, when you're
Speaker 1: running these short routes and you're showing that burst stand
Speaker 1: in in a short area, a small area, that burst
Speaker 1: like you did on that touchdown. That's a playmaker right there. Andy.
Speaker 1: How does that feel? It feels great. It feels all
Speaker 1: all the harder work that I've done this all season,
Speaker 1: all the time I put in, um, it shows. I
Speaker 1: mean I worked so hard and I realized, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone works harder, and you know I
Speaker 1: got to make that happen on the field. Well, my
Speaker 1: favorite cash thanks for asking, would be two games ago.
Speaker 1: Not the fifty four yarder necessarily, but it was the
Speaker 1: quick slant. I loved it, and it was a little
Speaker 1: bit behind you and boom, you open up the hip
Speaker 1: and there you are. You throw the hands out and
Speaker 1: take us through that play because that was a bullet.
Speaker 1: That's a tough grab de great difficulty for a receiver,
Speaker 1: isn't it. Yeah, when that's when do you say that?
Speaker 1: When he threw? When he threw and I look back
Speaker 1: at that ball, zombie quick um. But that's just that's
Speaker 1: just the calm, calmness in my mind. It didn't It
Speaker 1: didn't spook me like maybe last year it would have
Speaker 1: spooked me to getting that ball coming out quick. But
Speaker 1: this year I've got to come in with a calm
Speaker 1: mine and everything slowed down, and I'm able to make
Speaker 1: players like that without even being in any panic whatsoever.
Speaker 1: When you on the on the jugs machine, you still
Speaker 1: work the jugs machine, don't you? And you can you
Speaker 1: take some of those fastballs just rep after rep? Yes? Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I did a lot of that. It's all season back
Speaker 1: home in Cleveland. Nice because that's why I think of Wolf.
Speaker 1: That's why. Then on the quick slam like that Kyler
Speaker 1: with a velocity and he's got that arm, I think
Speaker 1: of a pass that's that quick and then boom. That's
Speaker 1: where that sort of training pays off. That's funny, boy,
Speaker 1: because when I think of Cleveland, I think of Westlake.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I just immediately can go to Westlake. Isn't
Speaker 1: that weird? You know exactly? Shaker rights Andy? Yeah, shake
Speaker 1: out at Shaker. It's old school there, and you don't
Speaker 1: want to hear his story where what you're a rookie
Speaker 1: and you took the dog bone, you threw it into
Speaker 1: the dog pounds from the apollo. We don't want to
Speaker 1: talk about that problematic and he No, Larry Fitzgerald will
Speaker 1: do some talking about Andy when we come back. In
Speaker 1: the Big Read Rage presented by Satan Ford and Gilbert
Speaker 1: second and nine of the twenty nine two receivers right,
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald the left, Warner barking off the called playclock at three,
Speaker 1: Kurt got the play away back to throw. Warner with
Speaker 1: a ton of time, throwing right side, fits open, caught
Speaker 1: at the five, heading for the pilot man. He is
Speaker 1: gonna be ruled, Yo, Cardinal Wharry Fitzgarrol do you believe it?
Speaker 1: And Warry Fitzgerald Frampton down their throw. Larry Fitzgerald, you
Speaker 1: are absolutely ridiculous. Oh my goodness, two thousand and eight
Speaker 1: Divisional round playoff win Cardinals at Carolina, advancing to the
Speaker 1: NFC Championship Game. With that victory, Wolf, did I say
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, Yes, two thousand and eight. That's
Speaker 1: back before you had your weight under control. You're a
Speaker 1: good two seventy plus back in those days. I'm curious
Speaker 1: I violate our rule no math. Andy Isabella is our
Speaker 1: guest here on the Big Red Rage. The last two games,
Speaker 1: six catches of buck fourteen, that's nineteen yards of catch,
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. But our question to you, Andy Isabella, is
Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight, if our math is correct,
Speaker 1: you would have been about twelve years old? What were
Speaker 1: you doing at age twelve? About the time that Larry
Speaker 1: and that touchdown was made into a Fitz figurine because
Speaker 1: he was all angular at the pylon. And that might
Speaker 1: have been the first year I actually from the pad,
Speaker 1: actually play playing football. Um, so that's crazy to think
Speaker 1: about my first year playing. So how old would that
Speaker 1: have been, Andy, when you first put on the pads?
Speaker 1: Fifth grade? Fit this year my mom finally finally gave
Speaker 1: in and lovely play. Oh, there's the there's that picture
Speaker 1: of you wearing a Fitz jersey where you would have
Speaker 1: been about ten, eleven, twelve years old. Maybe you know
Speaker 1: that picture I'm talking about, right? Oh? Yeah, yeah. Did
Speaker 1: you ever show that picture to Larry that you had
Speaker 1: his jersey and we're wearing his jersey as a ten
Speaker 1: year old kid? Yeah, he's seen him before and he
Speaker 1: was he was He showed me a picture or someone
Speaker 1: was showing it and he was just yes, and it's
Speaker 1: like it was all good. Andy. I gotta tell you
Speaker 1: right now, I was twelve years old when Walter Payton
Speaker 1: first broke into the league, the great running back for
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears. Do you know who Walter Payton is? Oh? Yeah, Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: Dad did the greatest running back. Andy. Don't let anyone
Speaker 1: tell you otherwise. He was the greatest running back ever
Speaker 1: to play for all number of reasons that I can't
Speaker 1: mention right now, but I can tell you I was
Speaker 1: mesmerized with him, and I got the opportunity in nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty six, my first Pro Bowl to actually go out there.
Speaker 1: And I walked into that NFC locker room and they
Speaker 1: had put my locker right next to Walter Payton's eddy.
Speaker 1: I walked into that I just started hugging him. He
Speaker 1: had no idea, he had no idea who I was, Andy,
Speaker 1: and I was just hugging him. And it was like Walter,
Speaker 1: Walter you Yeah, imagine being a twelve year old kid
Speaker 1: collecting all his cards and growing up and why he
Speaker 1: was ten years in the NFL when I finally saw him,
Speaker 1: And the lessons that he taught me, Andy were just
Speaker 1: off the chart. So I'll ask you this question, what
Speaker 1: have you learned from Larry? If anything? I mean is
Speaker 1: everything from route route running to how how he carries
Speaker 1: himself and um, just a teammate he's been, I mean,
Speaker 1: he asked me sometimes he's like he's like, am I.
Speaker 1: He's like, yes, he asked me, Am I a good teammate.
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's like, what can I do or what
Speaker 1: can I do better to be a better teammate. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, I mean you go above and beyond?
Speaker 1: What what what a what a good teammate would do? Um?
Speaker 1: Just from from being interactive with us to everyone, UM
Speaker 1: sitting down he looks with us, telling stories and just
Speaker 1: being a great, great team player. I mean, he's the
Speaker 1: best and he's awesome to work with. Is he ever
Speaker 1: like start stories where he's talking about Tiger Woods, a
Speaker 1: Barack Obama? You know, I mean, come on, he can
Speaker 1: do some serious name dropping. Do you get a lot
Speaker 1: of that from Larry? He does? He does. He does
Speaker 1: here and there, and he'll do it like he'll do
Speaker 1: it kind of like under Like he'll he'll make no
Speaker 1: big deal about it and he'll be like play you
Speaker 1: played to play golf with him? What? Yeah? Right? So Andy?
Speaker 1: What about on the field? What about in between the
Speaker 1: white lines? Is there something a trick of the trade,
Speaker 1: so to speak, that he has taught you? This thing
Speaker 1: is just keeping them that calm mind and and every
Speaker 1: everything's slow and framing the football and and just that's
Speaker 1: one of the big things catching the football, he says,
Speaker 1: is just being under control is one of the biggest things.
Speaker 1: And kept that into accounting. And I've been under control
Speaker 1: and kept that calm mine and I think he's made
Speaker 1: the game and made catching the football a lot easier
Speaker 1: for me. Well, I see your Instagram post where you
Speaker 1: have the picture of you and Larry. He's got his
Speaker 1: arm around you. You guys are on the field in
Speaker 1: pads and it's learned from Greatness. You captioned the picture,
Speaker 1: and then you posted Kobe's five Rules, ten rules for
Speaker 1: Greatness and number five was learned from Greatness? So that
Speaker 1: where what what inspired you to post that? I actually,
Speaker 1: as I found someone someone had sent me that. I
Speaker 1: saw it online Kobe's Kobe's ten Rules, and I got
Speaker 1: hung it up on my wall and I kind of
Speaker 1: pick kind of kind of pick one each and every
Speaker 1: day to kind of go by um and do. And
Speaker 1: when I when I saw that picture, I immediately thought
Speaker 1: of the Kobe Kobe sits rule would learn from greatness,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I gotta post this. I mean,
Speaker 1: I've been kind of found this, this Kobe thing Kobe's
Speaker 1: ruled every day, and so it was just meant to
Speaker 1: be almost in other ruse rules. I enjoyed posting and
Speaker 1: hopefully motivated motivated someone else to maybe live by those
Speaker 1: ten rules and helped gun down the road well Wolf.
Speaker 1: Listen to Larry today as Parry Jim Almahandro about his
Speaker 1: friendship with Andy Isabella. We talk all the time, and
Speaker 1: I really him enjoyed getting to know Andy. He's like
Speaker 1: one of the when when you come from a family
Speaker 1: as large as him he's got He's got six brothers
Speaker 1: and sisters. Um, he's a very close knick guy, so
Speaker 1: like once he feels like he's a part of the group.
Speaker 1: You know, he would literally take his shirt off for you,
Speaker 1: I mean, give you food, invites you by the house,
Speaker 1: cooked for you. I mean he's that type of person
Speaker 1: you know when you were a maid man with Larry.
Speaker 1: This is my observation. Andy, you can tell me if
Speaker 1: this is true or false. When you when he stuffed
Speaker 1: you into the locker during your rookie season, we were
Speaker 1: all there and now apparently I was told later that
Speaker 1: you had a coming, that there was something you did
Speaker 1: to Larry. I don't know, prank or something like that.
Speaker 1: So then that was that was something that you had earned. Apparently,
Speaker 1: can you can you elaborate on that? I think he
Speaker 1: was he was messy. He always starts to his numbers.
Speaker 1: He probably done so that I think I try to
Speaker 1: tackle him or something, and I know that was his
Speaker 1: way as the player, give me back, tackle me in
Speaker 1: the locker. Well Wolf, here's Larry on the Isabella work
Speaker 1: ethic in his admiration. There's nobody that works harder and
Speaker 1: tirelessly than than Andy. I mean, you look at his
Speaker 1: numbers from his you know, we wear these trackers every day.
Speaker 1: There's nobody that has more yardage and you know the
Speaker 1: speed and output that he puts in and when you
Speaker 1: see him be able to make those plays, and you know,
Speaker 1: it's great to reward to guys who do it the
Speaker 1: right way, who prepare the right way, and he's one
Speaker 1: of those guys, and you know it makes you makes
Speaker 1: you really happy as a friend to see that. How
Speaker 1: much exposure do you actually have to those next gen
Speaker 1: stats and those trackers for your practice as Andy, they'll
Speaker 1: they'll they'll they'll notify us to play like it's it's
Speaker 1: it's we got a high number. But it's mostly we
Speaker 1: mostly do it in camp. Those were one of the
Speaker 1: numbers are the highest. Okay, so they will check those
Speaker 1: out and then and then, um, just most of the camp,
Speaker 1: but they definitely keep eyeing him. They they they'll they'll
Speaker 1: let the coaches know, but uh, we need a tone dating,
Speaker 1: a tone back or something. But it's kind of cool
Speaker 1: to see the stats here and there. I was actually
Speaker 1: looking at him last week, um, without training. So what's
Speaker 1: your top speed? Miles per hour? What's your top speed?
Speaker 1: I think it was somewhere somewhere in the twenty one.
Speaker 1: I don't try. I don't trust those things. I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: I could go fast. I'm like, I think's not recording me, right,
Speaker 1: So talk to me about the wide receiver room. Like,
Speaker 1: you're a young guy. You're a young guy. You're coming
Speaker 1: into the National Football League, and I know this is
Speaker 1: year two, right, and this probably happens an awful lot
Speaker 1: I would imagine in your rookie season. But now, all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you you're in a wide receiver room
Speaker 1: with Larry Fitzgerald and DeAndre Hopkins and Christian Kirk, some
Speaker 1: pretty talented dudes. Man, how often you get hit up
Speaker 1: from your high school buddies like, Hey, Andy, Andy, what
Speaker 1: is it? What is it like actually be in the
Speaker 1: same room with DeAndre? Do you get these kind of questions?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, all the time. They're like like especially when
Speaker 1: DeAndre got a tree to do ask, everyone was texting
Speaker 1: me like, do you hear you got DeAndre Hopkins. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I know, it's awesome. I can't I can't wait to
Speaker 1: meet them too. I can't wait to meet them. So
Speaker 1: it's fun. We got a great, great room, a great
Speaker 1: group of guys. I mean everyone everyone looks for each
Speaker 1: other's success. Everyone wants each other to succeed. There's no
Speaker 1: there's no big egos. Everyone is works hard for each other.
Speaker 1: I mean I'm talking from from Larry DeAndre all we
Speaker 1: down to our practice squad guys, Um Drey and a J.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just such a great group group of
Speaker 1: guys where everyone's encouraging each other. Everyone. You could learn
Speaker 1: literally anything from anyone in the room. Um And it's
Speaker 1: been awesome to work to play with these guys. Um
Speaker 1: And we definitely have a very special room. So I'm
Speaker 1: definitely cherish that. How about DeAndre Hopkins and yards after catch?
Speaker 1: How about his ability just to run with it after
Speaker 1: he catches it. Oh, it's this, That's that's unbelievable. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm playing my mom my mom on my mom. She
Speaker 1: was like, DeAndre Hopkins unbelievable. I know. I guess I
Speaker 1: get to watch it clothes. That's awesome. Hey, when you
Speaker 1: get mom weighing in on DeAndre Hopkins, that's the ultimate
Speaker 1: seal of approval, right there, you know, yeah, right there?
Speaker 1: But Mom, what do you know about? Hey? Joined the

Speaker 1: It is a big red rage presented by Santan forty
Speaker 1: and Gilbert with Andy Isabella two receivers to the left
Speaker 1: of Kyler Murray, who's in shotgun two tight ends to
Speaker 1: the right, snap to Murray, drops back, the throw has time,
Speaker 1: fires a deep ball middle of the field. Isabella White
Speaker 1: open cut of the thirty to the twenty five and
Speaker 1: tackle that the twenty three yard line boy. That thing
Speaker 1: traveled about forty five yards on a line drive by
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray to Andy Isabella. Andy Isabella running down the
Speaker 1: middle of the field by everybody else. That four three
Speaker 1: one on display for everybody here. Dave Pash instantly get
Speaker 1: excited a few seconds into that play call because he
Speaker 1: realizes he was looking left to right. He's like, whoa,
Speaker 1: Andy Isabella is way behind the secondary And that was
Speaker 1: a fifty four yard grab. A couple of weeks ago
Speaker 1: against Washington. We're wrapping up with Andy Isabella, our special
Speaker 1: guest and the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford
Speaker 1: in Gilbert. And when we see a play like that, Andy,
Speaker 1: how many reps have been put in over the last
Speaker 1: two years? You and Kyler that chemistry where he's able
Speaker 1: to recognize and boom, react and fire you the ball.
Speaker 1: There's a lot that goes into that over more than
Speaker 1: a year, isn't it? Absolutely? I Mean, we priced that
Speaker 1: play in camp to all all the first week and
Speaker 1: um a whole the second week, and um, it was funny.
Speaker 1: He actually overthrew me um in practice um on the
Speaker 1: friday before that game, and um he did it twice
Speaker 1: to play. We ran it back to back and they
Speaker 1: overthrew a overthrew me two times in a row, and
Speaker 1: I was like, then, coach is gonna take this one out.
Speaker 1: But he left it in there and it ended up
Speaker 1: ended up hitting and it was it was kind of
Speaker 1: funny to laugh at. We were all like, and we
Speaker 1: should he should open throw me more. In practice, he
Speaker 1: talked to us a little bit about why that play
Speaker 1: is so important to you in your development. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, um, you know, I don't get
Speaker 1: many opportunities right now. I mean, I'm working to get opportunities,
Speaker 1: and that was like one of my one of the
Speaker 1: big opportunities that I was going to have this year. Um,
Speaker 1: each so they get that in the game, I mean,
Speaker 1: you got you got to execute. I mean, um, let's
Speaker 1: all this thing that Tom Brady has said as a
Speaker 1: young guy, you know, you ever know when your next
Speaker 1: opportunity is going to be. So when you get that opportunity,
Speaker 1: you got to you gotta act like it's your laugh opportunity.
Speaker 1: And some of those that's that's what I've been doing.
Speaker 1: Some of those DB's going back up a little as well,
Speaker 1: and right conn happen, give you a little room maybe
Speaker 1: to ruminate and use that space. Oh yeah, when do
Speaker 1: you know that you have a DV When do you
Speaker 1: know that all this guy's toast because I'm about to
Speaker 1: hit the turbo boost. I'm going to hit the nitrous
Speaker 1: button and I'm gone. Do you you know that over
Speaker 1: the course of a route, at some point, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, when they're kind of just sitting there and
Speaker 1: they're they're kind of just they don't really know what
Speaker 1: to do. And when when the dB looks kind of
Speaker 1: like I'm not sure, you know, that's when you know
Speaker 1: you got them. Do we overthink this? Do we overthink this?
Speaker 1: Or are you a believer in chemistry? No? Absolutely, I
Speaker 1: mean you gotta, you gotta have kind of showing a
Speaker 1: great example. I mean, um my, my, my college. And
Speaker 1: in college we had just route where I could take
Speaker 1: it on a high angle or take it on a
Speaker 1: low angle, and we had missed it um in this
Speaker 1: one game and I went low and the quarterback do
Speaker 1: it high. And then we had it back in Georgia.
Speaker 1: This time I took it high and he knew what
Speaker 1: I was doing because of that dB was playing low
Speaker 1: and he threw it high and he got it to
Speaker 1: on me that it's that chemistry is huge. Um, you
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta know what quarterback I know what you're doing,
Speaker 1: and you gotta and you gotta be in that spot.
Speaker 1: But the quarterback knows you're going to be in. That's interesting,
Speaker 1: Andy Isabella, our guests, I know what Wolf does overstate
Speaker 1: though nicknames and Wolf, I'm not even sure I'm going
Speaker 1: to set up something else from DJ Humphrey's Do you
Speaker 1: or do you not want to share your nickname for
Speaker 1: Andy Isabella Fanzy Is that what you're saying? Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: of course, then yes. Did we determine, by the way,
Speaker 1: whose nickname was better or in this case worse, because
Speaker 1: because Andy I had because in honor of you and
Speaker 1: your speed and the Tyreek Hills and all the perpetual
Speaker 1: motion and always in the Jets sweeps and all that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, I went with eye Andy instead of
Speaker 1: eye Candy. I went with Iye Andy. So you don't
Speaker 1: say that Andy, that's come on? Is he? I'd call
Speaker 1: him is he Paul. I wouldn't walk around like is
Speaker 1: he a uh clip coach clip called me Ai? I
Speaker 1: like that one to anything else. Any other nicknames you've
Speaker 1: heard out in the field from your teammates. By chance,
Speaker 1: I got r Randy stuff going around? Randy? Why why
Speaker 1: do they call you Randy? Well wolf? Why don't you
Speaker 1: listen to it here real quick, because we have a
Speaker 1: clip DJ Humphreys fired at practice from Cardinals flight plant.
Speaker 1: There you go, Randy, Oh, there you go, Randy, Randy.
Speaker 1: There you go, Randy, Randy, Brandy going on? We call
Speaker 1: him Randy, We call and the Della Randy. That's his
Speaker 1: name for the whole Randy is Adela. That's his name.
Speaker 1: I don't know why we call him that. That's his name.
Speaker 1: DJ HP has a smile on his face. He pulls
Speaker 1: it off. You know. That was a montage from practices
Speaker 1: and games obviously, But wow, what is behind Randy? I
Speaker 1: think that's there must be my my author, my author
Speaker 1: ego or something that only comes out certain when when
Speaker 1: I get the line hyped up. So these guys are
Speaker 1: just they walk around, they call you Randy. Is it
Speaker 1: just the offensive line or is this has this caught
Speaker 1: on with the locker room get caught onto a couple
Speaker 1: of the special teams guys? Um, hey, Andy, talk you
Speaker 1: know what, honestly, talk a little bit about that right there?
Speaker 1: Special teams because you're not on as many now, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he I mean I'm kind of a guy
Speaker 1: where like if they need someone, hey, that that's Andy.
Speaker 1: You're going in UM And you know, I mean I've
Speaker 1: when I've been out there, I've been able to make plays.
Speaker 1: And I think this special teams coach trust me and
Speaker 1: I can get more building more trust with him, and
Speaker 1: I think he uses me on that guy guy goes down.
Speaker 1: If he needs a guy, he knows he could rely
Speaker 1: on me to say any any spot he needs to
Speaker 1: be fallable. What about punt returns though? How comfortable are
Speaker 1: you with the punt returns or is it still daunting
Speaker 1: to a certain degree. I mean we're working at We
Speaker 1: work at a ton of practice this week, so I'm competent.
Speaker 1: If he puts me back there this week, then it's
Speaker 1: just gonna be a great week. I'm excited to catch
Speaker 1: one and return one. UM, So we're working on that.
Speaker 1: It says so much about you Andy as a football player.
Speaker 1: The fact that he can put you out on the
Speaker 1: field and cover a kick. We're not just talking about
Speaker 1: punt return man, We're talking about covering a kick says
Speaker 1: a lot about you as a football player. I will
Speaker 1: tie one. Ris Washington. Allen was close over over ended.
Speaker 1: But that's one of my goals to have a couple
Speaker 1: of tackles this year to kick off for punt. So
Speaker 1: hopefully you get the shot to get out there and
Speaker 1: get one. That's awesome. Well, I'll tell you what. I
Speaker 1: hope the game goes as well as this interview. We
Speaker 1: really enjoyed it. We appreciate it. Andy, Randy aizy I, Andy,
Speaker 1: you know all the above. We appreciated the time. Andy. Congratulations, Andy,
Speaker 1: thank you very much. Okay, brother, God bless you man.
Speaker 1: I'm telling him that there's a football player. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and he and he and he says Cardinals have had
Speaker 1: a good week of practice. Dot dot dot. We'll wrap
Speaker 1: this up on the Big Red Raid presented by Satan
Speaker 1: Ford in Gilbert Stafford takes the shotgun staff three step drops,
Speaker 1: looks right in trouble, and he sacked back at the
Speaker 1: twenty yard line, dragged down by Jordan Phillips, grab Matthew
Speaker 1: Stafford and basically put him into the crock pot belly
Speaker 1: Buddy tack to throwo Stafford hit by the former Lion
Speaker 1: Devon Kennard and sacked Kenard with the takedown of Stafford.
Speaker 1: Great prop back Stafford and Trouble wrapped up at sack
Speaker 1: by Tory Peters, who was untouched, was all over Stafford
Speaker 1: as soon as he went back to pass twice Wall
Speaker 1: I'm on eleven sacks for the Cardinals defense through three
Speaker 1: games by seven different players. They've had two four sack
Speaker 1: games in a row. And Chandler Jones, so you figure
Speaker 1: is gonna have a breakout game at some point only
Speaker 1: has one. So Ron Wiefley, if if you are the
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers and you're thinking all stopping the Cardinals pass
Speaker 1: rush is as easy as Chippy number fifty five, the
Speaker 1: elite pass rusher, mister nineteen sacks. Now, hang on, not
Speaker 1: quite that simple anymore, is it? No, it's not, Paull.
Speaker 1: The defense has done a great job, and it starts
Speaker 1: to advance Joseph right now, knowing that they've got Chandler Jones,
Speaker 1: Knowing that Chandler Jones is going to dictate an awful
Speaker 1: lot of protections offensively right, and you can kind of determine,
Speaker 1: Paul what those protections might be, right, And because of that,
Speaker 1: you can predict and when you can predict now, all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Pauly, that makes you much more dangerous
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. When you can protect,
Speaker 1: you can predict excuse me, what that protection is going
Speaker 1: to be now, Paul, everybody else gets involved, and that's
Speaker 1: really what's happening right now with this defense, you know,
Speaker 1: and Cliff Kingsbury told us it's weekly TV show game
Speaker 1: Plan that all the attention towards Chandler has opened up
Speaker 1: things for other guys. Advanced Joseph even So said today,
Speaker 1: you know what, we gotta figure out a way to
Speaker 1: free him up a little bit. He's getting chipped constantly,
Speaker 1: so we'll see if there might be something a little
Speaker 1: different in the game plan this week to free up
Speaker 1: number fifty five. We'll see about that. Now, what we
Speaker 1: are going to see are some backups as safety because
Speaker 1: Buda Baker had the thumb surgery this week. We know
Speaker 1: Jalen Thompsonari and I are Chris Banjoe has been banged
Speaker 1: up as well, so you're gonna see. Well, we'll let
Speaker 1: Vance Joseph explain exactly who it's for us. The safety's
Speaker 1: DT and Curtis Riley's going to be our two starters.
Speaker 1: We feel good about that. You know, we have certain
Speaker 1: packages where we can put other guys at similar positions,
Speaker 1: but right now we feel very comfortable with those two
Speaker 1: guys who've been in camp with us, and if have
Speaker 1: running this system for DT for two years and for
Speaker 1: Curtis for a month. Now, I think we're in good
Speaker 1: shape at safety. Now. They signed t J. Ward, but
Speaker 1: he's on the practice squad. Too soon, too much, too soon,
Speaker 1: says Vance Joseph. There, Isaiah Simmons doesn't sound well. At
Speaker 1: least he's not going to start at safety, according to
Speaker 1: Vans Joseph. He says he feels good. How do you
Speaker 1: feel with a fourth and fifth string or as you're
Speaker 1: starting safety? Yeah, that's a tough proposition right there, Polly,
Speaker 1: But what else are you going to do? I do
Speaker 1: like the fact that Riley has experienced playing that it's
Speaker 1: not some young guy that is out there making his way.
Speaker 1: Deontay Thompson is a young guy that is trying to
Speaker 1: do that right now. But the question with Isaiah Simmons, Polly,
Speaker 1: that is so important how they proceed on this. You
Speaker 1: know what I want to see them do. I want
Speaker 1: to see him leave him right there? Where he is
Speaker 1: right now, the week side inside linebacker. Let him learn
Speaker 1: the position, learn what it is that he's got to do.
Speaker 1: Let him develop under those auspices, Polly, and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden when he masters as you can start
Speaker 1: moving him around. But there is a part of me
Speaker 1: as I listen, There is a part of me as
Speaker 1: I listened to Vans Joe so that thinks, here it comes.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be playing safety, isn't he? It's only because
Speaker 1: once again you can't. Can you really believe what these
Speaker 1: coaches are telling the opponent coming up? Paul, No, you can.
Speaker 1: And remember what Cliff Kingsbury said about Isaiah Simmons. I
Speaker 1: know Dances is trying to kind of spoon and feed
Speaker 1: it here and there to not overload him. But he's
Speaker 1: done a nice chap so far picking things up, and
Speaker 1: we just had to keep him coming without the offseason
Speaker 1: particularly and made it tough on him. But he's made
Speaker 1: big strides recently and we continue to try and get
Speaker 1: him more incorporated in the defense. If you want your
Speaker 1: best eleven, your most athletic eleven out there, then Isaiah
Speaker 1: Simmons is part of that group. It's just where and
Speaker 1: how in what capacity you know to me? And I
Speaker 1: know he played all over the field for Clemson. He
Speaker 1: played over one hundred snaps of five different positions, but
Speaker 1: he would seem to be a fairly natural and somewhat
Speaker 1: experienced box safety based on his college career, and put
Speaker 1: him in center field. But yeah, no, I know, Polly,
Speaker 1: I mean Jamal Adams, right, Yeah, that's what you're thinking
Speaker 1: of right now, Chancellor. Yes, yeah, but you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to change. What you'd have to do is go ahead,
Speaker 1: and you know what, You're gonna change your defense as well, Polly,
Speaker 1: because that means you're probably gonna play some cover three
Speaker 1: where you can actually have eight guys down in the
Speaker 1: box and you can still pull off that coverage. You're
Speaker 1: gonna play some man free a lot more. And that's
Speaker 1: what Vance Joseph does, like to play a lot of
Speaker 1: man free where you can have that free safety in
Speaker 1: the middle of the field, you can have man across
Speaker 1: the board, you can play eight guys in the box
Speaker 1: out of that coverage, robber coverage you can actually play
Speaker 1: which is man free with a lurker down low. So
Speaker 1: there's a lot of options right there. And I could
Speaker 1: see that I could see Isaiah Simmons and that kind
Speaker 1: of role. But once again I'm hoping that they leave
Speaker 1: him at week side inside linebacker and let them learn
Speaker 1: one position and then go from there. Other headlines today,
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins did not practice for the second straight day
Speaker 1: with that ankle. Devon Kannard did not practice for the
Speaker 1: second straight day with a calf injury. So we'll see
Speaker 1: exactly what that means on game day. Now we know
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins who's leading the NFL and catches and receiving
Speaker 1: yards and first down catches. We know that he is
Speaker 1: very capable well right a point on game day without
Speaker 1: a week of practice, no doubt about it. I just
Speaker 1: want to say this because we noticed that here in
Speaker 1: Command and Control, Bear noticed that the confidence in Andy's
Speaker 1: voice is amazing. This kid is getting ready to explode.
Speaker 1: And he said it on the quick slant that he
Speaker 1: caught against a year ago. He said, a year ago,
Speaker 1: that would have spooked me, that ball getting on me
Speaker 1: that quick and being behind me. This year he makes
Speaker 1: the catch. You can hear it in his voice, the
Speaker 1: confidence growing. Six graps for one hundred and fourteen yards
Speaker 1: last two weeks. We'll see what happens Sunday in Carolina
Speaker 1: for Jim I'm a hundred on Cody Fincher, on Paul calBC,
Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley. This than the Big Red Rage presented by
