Speaker 1: Welcome to the Cardinals Red Sea Reports.

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 2: Swam into the ground by Budda Baker like a torpedo.

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: He came flying into the backfield Connor to the ten,

7
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: to the five, and then to the end zone.

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:26,920

Speaker 2: Here we go one hand to catch at a touchdown?

12
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 4: Oh baby, how's that film?

13
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: Here's Craig Griolou, Paul Calvic, and thirteen year NFL veteran

14
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: Drew Stanton.

15
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 5: So it has become the league's signature events of the offseason. I'm,

16
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 5: of course talking about the NFL Draft. Gentlemen, have you

17
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 5: seen the numbers? Fifty four point four million viewers, three

18
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 5: hundred and twelve thousand fans in attendance over the three

19
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 5: days in Kansas City. And I'm guessing, Drew, that's just

20
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 5: a little bit more than what happened sixteen years ago.

21
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 5: And your two thousand and seven Draft class.

22
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, look, this is a primetime event and

23
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 6: I love what they've done. And this is a fan

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 6: driven sport, and so being able to have the fan involvement,

25
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 6: being able to change the draft location and put it

26
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 6: centrally located in Kansas City was a great host. And

27
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 6: you alluded to the number of people that were there

28
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 6: that this is what it's all about. The NFL wants

29
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 6: to start the momentum and gain steam heading into next fall,

30
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 6: and they did that, and they did it in spades

31
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 6: by the viewership, and it's exactly what you want. And again,

32
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 6: it was an exciting draft. There was so much movement,

33
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 6: all of the record move of what you want to

34
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 6: see because it is suspenseful and we talked so much

35
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 6: leading up to it, right, and there was so much speculation.

36
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 6: But as we said, until that first pick is actually

37
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 6: handed in, you have no idea what to expect. So

38
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 6: a lot of these teams had to deviate from their plan,

39
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 6: they had to adjust, they had to adapt, and the

40
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 6: Cardinals were in that boat as well and did a

41
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 6: tremendous job.

42
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 5: I was listening to ESPN's Adam Schefter this morning. Paul

43
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 5: there were representatives from nine different cities in Kansas City.

44
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 5: This is something that teams, cities, counties are bidding on,

45
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 5: much like the Super.

46
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 3: Hundreds of thousands of fans show up. Massive economic impact,

47
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 3: no question, I mean yeah, there are multiple cities lining up.

48
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 3: And as for the TV ratings, it's the original reality TV,

49
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: is it not. This isn't some semi scripted episode of

50
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 3: The Bachelor. This is a legit Who's getting the big

51
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 3: red Rose? And we had no idea what was happening

52
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 3: after Carolina Houston did a phenomenal job of clouding and

53
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 3: shrouding all the speculation around they were going to go quarterbacks.

54
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: Sure enough, they stuck with quarterback. And then the most

55
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: unpredictable team in this year's draft happened to be the

56
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: team picking number three, your Arizona Cardinals.

57
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 5: All right, let's get into that reality TV if you will.

58
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 5: The moments in the first round, the Arizona Cardinals are

59
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 5: on the clock with the third overall pick. They drop

60
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 5: down to twelve, move up to six. Here's general manager

61
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 5: Monty Austin Fords on what happened in round one.

62
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 7: Not gonna lie it was. It was exciting, man, it

63
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 7: was awesome.

64
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 8: That was fun.

65
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 7: That was a lot of fun. I'll tell you this.

66
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 7: I had a lot of help in there. It was

67
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 7: tense there that the clock was winding down there on

68
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 7: our third pick. When we finally got the deal with

69
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 7: Houston worked out.

70
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 5: The sentiment around the league is that the Cardinals were

71
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 5: looking at Paris Johnson Junior with the third overall pick.

72
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 5: They get him plus a first round pick and a

73
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 5: third round selection next year in a deal to move

74
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 5: just three spots down with the Detroit Lions and Houston Texans.

75
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 5: But picking number six overall, you Land, I'm guessing Drew

76
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 5: a big fan of yours. As a quarterback, you always

77
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 5: want those offensive linemen. Sixty six, three hundred and thirteen pounds.

78
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's athletic, He's everything you need. And again, when

79
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 6: you've invested that much in a franchise quarterback, you want

80
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 6: to do everything you can and you build through the

81
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 6: draft with this type of elite talent. You talk about

82
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 6: guys that have the ability to be difference makers right

83
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 6: when they show up and to be able to step

84
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 6: foot in this building and contribute. And this is a

85
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 6: guy that can do that. And I think that's why

86
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 6: you look at this this is why you make the move,

87
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 6: and you're also again trying to do everything you can

88
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 6: to make your franchise quarterback comfortable coming back off of

89
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 6: injury and really growing within the nucleus. You look at

90
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 6: somebody like DJ humphreyes that came in super young when

91
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 6: I was still here and has now established himself as

92
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 6: a veteran. He can help bring him along as well.

93
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 6: So this is a great move. I think it's exactly

94
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 6: what is needed, and it allowed them some flexibility. They

95
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 6: got some extra picks and priming them for what was

96
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 6: the arrest of a really good draft.

97
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 5: You bring up DJ Humphreys, Paul, you have to go

98
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 5: back to that Humphrey selection. The last time the Cardinals,

99
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 5: either in Day one or two, drafted an offensive lineman.

100
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 3: It's the third offensive lineman taken in the first two

101
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 3: rounds in the last fifteen years, and I think it

102
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 3: marks a different philosophy by the new GM. He is

103
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 3: gonna build from the inside out. You saw the reaction

104
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 3: from some of the other guys on the offense when

105
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 3: Hollywood tweets out let's rock James Connor love this all

106
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 3: the other reaction because everyone on offense knows that you

107
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 3: can have as many weapons as you want, but if

108
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: you're getting dominated up front, you'll be stuck in neutral.

109
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 3: That offense isn't going anywhere. So you bring in Paris

110
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 3: Johnson Junior. He's absolutely plug in play and the current roster,

111
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 3: whether it's at guard, whether it's at right tackle, we

112
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 3: don't know. But maybe the best part of the whole

113
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 3: thing was what you got in return from Houston to

114
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 3: move down to twelve. And when I heard Mark Ross

115
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 3: on NFL Network, of former NFL front office guy now

116
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 3: an NFL insider, saying, I quote, I thought Houston gave

117
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 3: up way too much. Dang, that's the double ding you

118
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 3: were looking for if you're Moniascifort, because now you have

119
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 3: a pair of picks in the first round in next

120
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 3: year's draft that could easily be top five.

121
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 5: Ten draft picks, plus the projected compensatory pick for losing

122
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 5: Zach Allen eleven total picks next year, six in the

123
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 5: first three rounds. That's next year. This the areo you're

124
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 5: looking at Paris Johnson Junior. And what stood out to

125
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 5: the Cardinals about the young offensive lineman.

126
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 9: Here's more for money.

127
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 7: High high football character, highly intelligent, well spoken, mature, dependable,

128
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 7: and you can tell that he's made of the right things,

129
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,679
Speaker 7: the things that we want not only our offensive lineman

130
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 7: to be made of, but but our entire team.

131
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 5: Question now, though, and you referenced Paul because of his

132
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 5: versatility being able to play left tackle at Ohio State's

133
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 5: right guard two years ago at Ohio State, where is

134
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 5: he playing along that offensive line here this season? Provided

135
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 5: that he is ready, and look, he'll get a chance

136
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 5: to compete somewhere on that offensive line? Are they going

137
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 5: to give Calvin Beacham competition at right tackle? Is Josh

138
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 5: Jones even a factor out there? He's having a great offseason.

139
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 5: Some of the players have raped which Ashtones looks like

140
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 5: and what he's been like out on that field. But

141
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 5: is he capable of playing the right side? We'll find

142
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 5: out if not. Paris Johnson moves inside and he's told us,

143
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 5: and he told us, you know, just a few days ago,

144
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 5: he has absolutely no problem doing that.

145
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 6: Drow Yeah, well, I think that you know, he is

146
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 6: athletic and he does all these things. But there's the

147
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 6: mental capacity that you have to do too. And when

148
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 6: you draft somebody as high as you drafted him, right.

149
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 6: When you invest that much in him, you want to

150
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 6: put him there, and you want to say this is

151
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 6: your position for the future, this is where you're going

152
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 6: to be. And if it's at right tackle, as long

153
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 6: as DJ Humphries is up the left side, then so

154
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,239
Speaker 6: be it. But you don't want to start moving around

155
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 6: because all of a sudden, you know, you want to

156
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 6: give him a chance to just build confidence, and I

157
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 6: think the right side is the best place to do it.

158
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 6: You know, the left side, it's a different mentality, and

159
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 6: maybe he is better at the left and you have

160
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 6: DJ to go.

161
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: To the right.

162
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 6: Who knows what's going to happen. But I think where

163
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 6: you drafted him at that premier spot, he's got to

164
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 6: be a tackle. He's got to be a guy that

165
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 6: you can sit in there and say, hey, this is

166
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 6: a decade worth of Maybe he turns into the right

167
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 6: best right tackle in football right Lane Johnson of the

168
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 6: draft of this year, because he has that kind of capability.

169
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:04,679
Speaker 3: And when you're.

170
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 6: Changing the mindset of this organization and you said build

171
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 6: it from within the inside out, you want to be

172
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 6: able to because the offensive philosophy is not changing. This

173
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 6: is not a spread them out, get the ball out

174
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,239
Speaker 6: of your hands, you know, fast break on turf, whatever

175
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 6: you want to say, they're going to have a different mentality.

176
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 6: And when you have a centerpiece or a cornerstone like

177
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 6: you want to have in Paris Johnson Jr. You put

178
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 6: him in one place and you put his mind at

179
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 6: ease and say you're going to be this guy until

180
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 6: you maybe move to the left and you become that

181
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 6: premier pass that protector.

182
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 3: Two years ago to Ohio State, he started all thirteen

183
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 3: games of right guard. Does he go to right guard

184
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: and then will Hernandez goes to left guard where he

185
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 3: played the majority of his career in New York? Maybe

186
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 3: not sure. I'll say this much. You go back to

187
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty draft and if you had to redo

188
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 3: it all over again, you know who was sitting there,

189
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 3: Tristan Wurfs And how valuable is he to Tampa at

190
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 3: right tackle? You know you played with him over there.

191
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 3: So look, I mean everyone talks about left tackle, but

192
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 3: you tell me, if he's a franchise right tackle for

193
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 3: the next decade, what's his value? Exactly?

194
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 6: That's exactly what you're looking at as you want a

195
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 6: guy that you can just say, oh, Nope, we're good.

196
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 6: We don't have to even talk about that position when

197
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 6: you get into draft meetings, when you get into free

198
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 6: agency or any of this stuff, because when you have

199
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 6: a guy like that, and again, defenses are looking at

200
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 6: where's your weakness, where can we attack it? They can

201
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 6: overload that right side just as easily as they can

202
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 6: the left side, the blind side, all of this stuff,

203
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 6: the misconceptions that exist if you have a weakness anywhere

204
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 6: across the front five. These defenses are so versatile now,

205
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 6: they're so good at exposing those weaknesses. If you are

206
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 6: upfront not as stout as you need to be, they're

207
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 6: going to send line games, they're going to do all

208
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 6: these things. And again with the stats and everything, they

209
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 6: have analytics involved nowadays, they will be able to pick

210
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 6: that apart for you. So being able to shut that

211
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 6: down on the right side and feel good about a

212
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 6: healthy DJ humphrees, that's where it all begins. And then

213
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 6: you kind of start to put the pieces together on

214
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 6: the inside.

215
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 5: The less moving parts, the better for me along the

216
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 5: offensive line. But I'll go back to what Moni said

217
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 5: on Saturday when asked specifically about the center position. Quote,

218
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 5: all those guys up front are going to play multiple

219
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 5: positions end quotes. But to your point, Drew, you want

220
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 5: to just plug and play keep that guy barring injuries,

221
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 5: of course, I just I know what said in April.

222
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 5: What is being done though in August and.

223
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 6: September exactly, And that's really where you need to take

224
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 6: an honest assessment of you can put this together. It's

225
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 6: a work in progress. There's a reason you were drafting

226
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 6: number three overall because things were abysmal, especially upfront, and

227
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 6: there were so many moving pieces, so many guys that

228
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 6: couldn't stay healthy. Calvin Beecham was the only one that

229
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 6: was able to sustain an entire season, and he's up

230
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 6: there in years. So in saying that, whatever you want

231
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 6: to do and be able to do that, when you

232
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 6: put that much stock in a guy, then you draft

233
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 6: him that high. He's got to be able to be

234
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 6: where he can naturally be the best fit for you

235
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 6: moving forward. This is an organization looking towards the future,

236
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 6: and that's the mindset they need to have. Will Hernandez's back.

237
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 6: He did an adamot job. Where are they going to

238
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 6: do it? Center all of these question marks, But when

239
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 6: you can say, hey, our bookend tackles are going to

240
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 6: be these two guys for the foreseeable future. That puts

241
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 6: the quarterbacks mind at ease as well.

242
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 5: The other news coming off the weekend, and that is

243
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 5: on the current roster linebacker Isaiah Simmons, that fifth year

244
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 5: team option do today, Well, it was reported on Monday

245
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 5: that the Cardinals were going to decline that option, confirmed

246
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 5: this morning General manager Many Austin Ford on the Day

247
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 5: Patch podcast.

248
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 7: I wouldn't read anything other and then you know that

249
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 7: that just probably wasn't the best decision for us to

250
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 7: do right now. Just as a team. You know, we're

251
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 7: excited about working with Isaiah we and we think he's

252
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 7: extremely talented and has a lot to offer versatility in

253
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 7: our defense. But just right now, I think the decision

254
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 7: to not pick up that option right now is probably

255
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 7: the best for the team right now.

256
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 5: And really probably Paul twofold as far as one how

257
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 5: he fits within this Nick Rolos defense.

258
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 9: And then financially if.

259
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 5: It was picked up, talking about that fifth year option,

260
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 5: you're looking at twelve point seven million dollars and based

261
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 5: on the Cardinal play players that are under contract for

262
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 5: twenty twenty four, Simmons would be the fifth highest paid player.

263
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 3: And you would be a top ten highest paid linebacker.

264
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 3: And it's guaranteed, by the way, that's twelve point seven

265
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 3: million plus guaranteed. So you understand when you're maniasin for

266
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 3: and when there's still a question as to where he

267
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 3: best fits, if he does have a real fit in

268
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 3: this defense, it's a question we don't have an answer to.

269
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 3: At least they're not offering one up right now, so

270
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 3: are you. He's sort of like the modern day ink

271
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 3: blot test. What do you see when you look at

272
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 3: Isaiah Simmons? Do you see a safety? Do you see

273
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 3: an edge guy? Do you see a week side inside linebacker?

274
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 3: What do you see? What is he in the fact

275
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 3: that you still don't have an answer to that, how

276
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 3: problematic is that? And how much pause does that give

277
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 3: the decision maker maniasin for? Again, not a surprise, and

278
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 3: this is not unique to the Cardinals, drew because Simmons

279
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 3: is the fourth draft pick in that class among the

280
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 3: top ten, four out of ten that did not get

281
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 3: that fifth year option exercise.

282
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, sometimes you just need to agle the carrot

283
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 6: out there, right, make them go get it. And I

284
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 6: think you look at how the beginning of last year

285
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 6: started for him, right, you sit there and you scratch

286
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 6: your head and say, okay, you're betting on the com

287
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 6: you want to see him out there more. And then

288
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 6: all of a sudden, he wasn't out there, and everybody's like, well,

289
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 6: what's going on? And you didn't get the answers and

290
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 6: he's saying everything publicly correct, and you want to know, okay,

291
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 6: but does he not fit into the advanced Joseph's scheme?

292
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 6: Is he not capable of running it with the green dot?

293
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 6: Like what are the question marks? And so I think

294
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 6: you look at that and you look at an organization

295
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 6: that is going in a different direction. They want to

296
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 6: make everybody prove their worth for what's going on. And

297
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 6: as Paul talked about, twelve million dollars guaranteed has a

298
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 6: lot to give to somebody with a giant question mark

299
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 6: of why he hasn't been on the field and been

300
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 6: a superstar. Yes he's made plays and splash plays and

301
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 6: done all of these things. That's not warrantine twelve million

302
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 6: dollars on the field for a team that is looking

303
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 6: to build and go in a different direction. So you

304
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 6: know that's the power these teams have right. They have

305
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 6: the ability to sit there and say you go earn

306
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 6: it and we'll give it to you. But we're not

307
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 6: just going to open them and le give you this money.

308
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 5: A year ago, Simmons worked exclusively with the safety position

309
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 5: lined up a lot at slot corner, big question mark

310
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 5: where he lines up within this defense this upcoming season.

311
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 5: You heard from general manager Mony Austin forth to day

312
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,280

315
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 5: We continue to discuss the Cardinals nine player twenty twenty

316
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 5: three NFL Draft. We touched on the first round selection

317
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 5: of Paris Johnson Junior. The other eight picks, who stands out,

318
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 5: who's our favorite? We'll talk about that next. It is

319
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 5: the Cardinals Red Sea Report presented by Sea Geek, your

320
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 5: ticket to great seats here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio network.

321
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 10: With the forty first pick and the twenty twenty three draft,

322
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 10: the Arizona Cardinal selected bj Old Jalori linebacker lsu.

323
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: All Right, so one of the top edge rushers still

324
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 2: available is going to the Desert.

325
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, let's sit as a linebacker, but he's gonna stand

326
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 11: up on the edge. That's what he did at LSU.

327
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 11: This is back to more of a loose, fluid rusher.

328
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 11: A really good athlete in vj Ojalari, obviously his brother

329
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 11: azizo Jali already with the Giants, is a really solid

330
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 11: tass rusher. Again, loose and act if he can bend

331
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 11: and close. Once he gets to the top, he can

332
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 11: bend and then there's advers that he possesses to close

333
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 11: and finish with.

334
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 9: The utter out of LSU.

335
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 5: The past season, first team All SEC and a team

336
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 5: captain talking about the forty first overall pick, as you

337
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 5: heard announced by a Hall of Famer and Ring of Honor,

338
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 5: remember Anias Williams. Bjojalari six two forty eight edge rusher

339
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 5: out of LSU. Paul certainly the biggest need. I don't

340
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 5: think there's any question about that going into the draft.

341
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 5: That was not addressed on day one in the first round,

342
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 5: but with the second round selection, yeah, you do find

343
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 5: that edge rusher, maybe a little bit undersized, but someone

344
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 5: who is capable of getting into the opponent's backfield.

345
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 3: When you hear the words burst and bend. He has

346
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 3: that athleticism. Supposedly, according to many of the Skunt reports,

347
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 3: he has a varied toolkit when it comes to getting

348
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 3: into the backfield. He's able to bull rush, He's able

349
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 3: to use the speed to power and get around guys

350
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 3: depending on who the tackle is. And he can exploit weaknesses.

351
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: I mean when he has one hundred and twenty six

352
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 3: quarterback pressure since twenty twenty and only Will Anderson had more.

353
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 3: When he was first team All SEC, he got the

354
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 3: respect of all the other coaches and players in the SEC.

355
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 3: You like that. It's also intriguing because of who they

356
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 3: left on the board. They left Wisconsin center Joe Tipman

357
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 3: on the board and he was highly regarded. He is

358
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 3: considered a plug and play starter day one. He had

359
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 3: like five years of Wisconsin and so you need a center,

360
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 3: you left him on the board. And then four picks later,

361
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 3: Keon White went to New England. And he's a big

362
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 3: edge guy six ' five two eighty. He can actually,

363
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 3: you know, get down in a three point stance. They

364
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 3: can move in the interior, which the Cardinals have a

365
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 3: need for as well. So all eyes are on bj

366
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 3: O Jalai drew.

367
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 5: You are very vocal in the days leading up to

368
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 5: the draft about needing that edge rusher and if Will

369
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 5: Anderson was available at number three, you were going to

370
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 5: run up and make that selection. He was available at

371
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 5: number three. We'll see how that plays out. Cardinals will

372
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 5: see Will Anderson in this upcoming season in the Carolina Panthers.

373
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 5: But getting an edge rusher period, and I'm sure they're

374
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 5: still not done looking at that position. But you need

375
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 5: someone because as a quarterback, to you, that's the more

376
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 5: that's the bigger priority. Then as far as someone covering

377
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 5: in the secondary.

378
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, look, I think that how you want

379
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 6: to build your team matters. And again they put their

380
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 6: eggs in the basket of protecting their franchise quarterback. You

381
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 6: can't argue with that, But I would argue with the

382
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 6: fact that you are not going to find pass rushers

383
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 6: like that. And there's a whole bunch of speculation about

384
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 6: different guys. Obviously, he was the most sought after one.

385
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 6: Why Tennessee or why the Texans wanted to move up

386
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 6: to get him, and the ability to do that they

387
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 6: don't come around very often. Again, you talk about guys

388
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 6: that you can build around, and even hearing him talk everything,

389
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 6: he was the complete package. Now they deviated from that plan,

390
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 6: they were able to get one in the second round,

391
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 6: but it remains to be seen. Again, you're talking about

392
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 6: a guy and Will Anderson that can be a three

393
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 6: down guy for you and do everything, get after the quarterback,

394
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 6: tackles for a loss, everything even in the run game.

395
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 6: And this is a guy with a much different skill

396
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 6: set and you know, and hearing Paul talk about it, personally,

397
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 6: I would have liked to see him dropt the center

398
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 6: because from my standpoint, you're talking about a second round

399
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 6: center and that's where you see these elite level centers

400
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 6: go unless you're some guy that's just blown everything out

401
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,479
Speaker 6: of the water, and your later first round pick centers

402
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 6: that you can plug and play, like Creed Humphreys comes

403
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 6: to mind from Kansas City. To get that kind of

404
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 6: ability out of a rookie that can go in there

405
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 6: and do that, that's invaluable from the standpoint again, you're

406
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 6: going to have the longevity there if he has the

407
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 6: ability to process and do these things. And you look

408
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 6: at offensive linemen from certain schools. Wisconsin has a pedigree

409
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 6: of producing fantastic offensive lineman and if.

410
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 3: He was there, that would have been my pick.

411
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 6: It wasn't the pick that I'm curious to see as

412
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 6: we look at this right, was John Gains the second?

413
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 6: Because that, to me is a huge need when you

414
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 6: miss Rodney Hudson. We saw what happened when rodne New

415
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 6: Hudson wasn't here, and you would hope, you would hope

416
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 6: that you would see the steps of Kyler Murray to

417
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 6: be able to put more of the onus on himself

418
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 6: to go out there and control everything. Rodney Hudson did that.

419
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 6: Rodney Hudson is no longer here. Who is going to

420
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 6: be that guy to put Kyler Murray's mind at ease?

421
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 6: Because that is imperative for this offense to go out

422
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 6: and operate at a high level.

423
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 5: John Gains the second, fourth round selection, one hundred and

424
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 5: twenty second overall, does have limited experience at the center position.

425
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 5: He's made thirty career starts, twenty six have come at

426
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 5: right guard.

427
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 9: Two at center. You have Lucida Smith.

428
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 5: You have yelled to Froholt as far as players currently

429
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 5: on the roster, So yeah, center remains a big hole

430
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 5: right now. And who's to say that someone doesn't develop

431
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 5: into a center. But yeah, as a quarterback to I

432
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 5: can certainly understand nothing happens until that ball gets snapped.

433
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 5: And do you have someone one that is capable of

434
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 5: snapping the ball? How much do we see Kyler Murray

435
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 5: under center and then reading what's in front and making

436
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 5: those checks.

437
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, or not snapping it over his head because we

438
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 6: saw that too and nodad that will you know, you laugh,

439
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 6: But it's true, right, it's a whole different mindset. You

440
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 6: can't sit there and say, hey, we're gonna develop this guy.

441
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 6: We're gonna teach this guy how to snap. If you

442
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 6: do that, you're going in at a severe disadvantage to

443
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 6: the season of saying, well, we can turn this guy.

444
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 6: We've got multiple options. If you have multiple options, that

445
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 6: means you don't have a good option. And that would

446
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 6: be the biggest thing that I'd be concerned about. Yeah,

447
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 6: that's great, you went out and got a tackle, and

448
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 6: I'd feel really really good about that. That's going to

449
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 6: be here for the longevity of it. But the center

450
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 6: is what everything evolves around, and I think when teams

451
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 6: don't place an emphasis on that. And Monty asin Fort

452
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 6: came from Tennessee, where they had a tremendous center for

453
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 6: a long period of time. And is he on the street, actually,

454
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 6: is he retired?

455
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 5: We don't know, it's okay, Yeah, well depends on who

456
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 5: you ask and what you read.

457
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 9: I got you.

458
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 3: Injuries might have retired him.

459
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 6: The injuries might have retired him.

460
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, well Ben Jones.

461
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, Ben Jones is a phenomenal center that was there

462
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 6: for a long time. And who knows, maybe he's open

463
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 6: to coming here because that would be somebody again, these

464
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 6: veteran guys that have seen everything and can do all

465
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 6: these things. Yes, their skill set might have diminished, but

466
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 6: what they lack and skill can make up for with

467
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 6: their mindset. And that's the biggest thing that I worry

468
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 6: about is the center's got to be able to do it,

469
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 6: especially with a Kyler Murray quarterback coming off of injury

470
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 6: or a guy that's adapt into a new system, whoever

471
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 6: is going to be back there taking the snaps.

472
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 3: And look I laughed, was Gallo's humor. I mean, we

473
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 3: saw snaps over the head of Kyler Murray. We saw

474
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 3: double clutch snaps. We saw I mean a little bit.

475
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 3: You just saw a lot of uncertainty at that center position,

476
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 3: and crucial moments, and so it threw off the entire

477
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 3: offensive line, which was already patchwork. I know I have

478
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 3: a new found appreciation for the center position ever since

479
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 3: the arrival of Rodney Hudson last year. They left Tyler

480
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 3: Linderbaum on the board he went to Baltimore. It looks

481
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 3: like a franchise center for the next decade. So I

482
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 3: think we're all curious to see. That's probably the glaring

483
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,479
Speaker 3: hole on this roster right here, right now. Whether it's

484
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 3: a Ben Jones, whether it's a Ryan Kelly out Indianapolis.

485
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 3: There are ties from this staff to the Colts. We'll

486
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 3: see if maybe that materializes. Is there a veteran center

487
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 3: out there that can kind of calm everything for everyone involved?

488
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 5: Something to pay attention to as the offseason continues. As

489
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 5: we continue here on the Cardinals Red Seat Report presented

490
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 5: by seat Geek Your Ticket to Great Seats, Craig rail

491
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 5: and Drew Stanton, and Paul Calvis, who I am told

492
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 5: really has his eye on the third round selection the

493
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 5: wide receiver out at Stanford, Michael Wilson. Before we get

494
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 5: Paul's thoughts on his favorite draft pick, how about the

495
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 5: draft call between Manty Austin Ford and owner Michael Bidwell

496
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 5: to Michael Wilson.

497
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 4: Is this Michael, Yes, this is Michael.

498
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 7: Hey Michael, this is Manti as for the GM at

499
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 7: the Ears on the Cardinals.

Speaker 8: How you doing? But what's going on?

501
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 3: I'm doing well?

502
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 4: How are you doing?

503
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 9: I'm good.

504
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 8: I'm good.

505
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 7: Where are you at right now?

506
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 8: I'm just at home in seen the Valley. I just

507
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 8: got family and friends here, family and friends. Okay. Well, yeah,

508
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 8: sir Michael, you're about to have some good news for him, buddy.

509
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 7: All right, we're on the clock right now.

510
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 8: We're about to make you in airs on a cardinal. Ah. Man,

511
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 8: that's exciting, man, Thank you so much. Hey, hey, we

512
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 8: like everything you're about.

513
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 7: Okay, you're physical, you know how to run rounde you

514
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 7: catch the ball. Okay, this is an exciting night for

515
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 7: you and your family.

516
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: All right, Michael, congratulations, Thank you so much.

517
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 8: I promise I just you just guys got to steal

518
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 8: the draft them. Thank you so much for taking me.

519
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: We think we got to steal the draft too.

520
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 5: Six foot two, two hundred and thirteen pounds, the wide

521
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 5: receiver out of Stanford. Just the emotion out of him,

522
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 5: and you hear that on all of these draft calls,

523
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 5: and Mani mentioned even on Day three, he does not

524
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 5: take that for granted as far as those phone calls

525
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 5: are changing not only individuals lives, but lives of families,

526
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 5: and that is important. I'm glad that the airs on

527
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 5: the Cardinals captured that. But when you look at Michael Wilson,

528
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 5: you love the size Paul, it's the fact that he

529
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 5: has been hard to maintain on the field, whether it

530
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 5: was a broken color bone last season or foot injuries

531
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 5: the two seasons prior to that.

532
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, three straight years he had his season curb by injury.

533
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 3: So all right, you're taking a bit of a chance,

534
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 3: you're taking a projection here. But he did recover in

535
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 3: time to go to the Senior Bowl, and he stood out.

536
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 3: He was a playmaker that entire week. In the game itself,

537
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 3: he had four catches. He had a touchdown catch as well.

538
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 3: He has size, he has great ball skills, supposedly has

539
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 3: a really good burst after the catch. He's able to

540
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 3: make guys miss. So it's intriguing and considering the Cardinals

541
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,959
Speaker 3: have that need for a bigger outside receiver, you're guessing

542
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 3: he's going to be given every single chance. He's smart,

543
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 3: he already has his degree engineering from Stanford, so boom,

544
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 3: you hope he can be someone who can come in

545
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 3: and sort of navigate that rookie learning curve immediately.

546
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 5: Three time pack, twelve honor roll student, much like yourself

547
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 5: at the other fine.

548
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 3: Institution in the Bay Other. How smart are you if

549
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 3: you're spending one hundred grand a year on Stanford? Just saying,

550
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 3: by the way, neither one of you brought up, so

551
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 3: I will the third round selection.

552
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 9: That was before Michael Wilson. Here we go the cornerback out.

553
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 5: Of the fine institution in central New York. That would

554
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 5: be Syrahcuse University. Drew Garrett Williams maybe another sleeper if

555
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 5: you will, and because of his ACL injury, maybe dropped

556
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 5: in the draft. There, I say, both picks in the

557
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 5: third round. Paul Steals.

558
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 3: I don't know you're coming from the Arctic, nor I

559
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 3: the Syracuse. When it hits eighty degrees or more, he's

560
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 3: gonna have heat strokes, so he better start conditioning. Coming

561
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 3: from the Cues.

562
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 9: Who doesn't love the sun.

563
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,239
Speaker 5: Hey, we've hit half time here on the Cardinals Red

564
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 5: Sea Report, and the second half we will speak with

565
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 5: Paris Johnson Junior that's straight ahead.

566
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 9: You're on the Arizona Cardinals, where you do a.

567
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 7: Network without further ado. I'd like to bring Paris Johnson Junior,

568
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 7: the newest member of the Arizona Cardinals, to the stage.

569
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 8: My Top thirty visit. I got some food here walking through,

570
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 8: look around the corner. I see him. I give him

571
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 8: my head and I'm trying to fall cool, you know

572
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 8: what I mean. I'm not Shaniaga fan boy, you know

573
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 8: what I mean. I'm like, you know, it was good.

574
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 8: And then he's like, hey, Pete, come here. I'm like, yo,

575
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 8: you know. Sorry thing. So I'm walking over. I'll show you.

576
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 8: I'm walking over. I'm texting my teammate Luke Whippler. I'm like, dude,

577
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 8: col Mar, you knows I am.

578
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 10: You know what I mean.

579
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 8: So so I'm acting all cooon texting and I was like,

580
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 8: yo stuff. He's like, Paris, you know I've seen you

581
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 8: play if senior protef seeing all this and he's like,

582
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 8: I like love what I see. I see how hard

583
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 8: you played, the tenacity to finish, and I would love

584
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 8: for you to block for me. And I think is

585
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 8: coming from a franchise guy. He said it before I

586
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 8: had a chance to say, to be an honor to

587
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 8: play for him. He said it first come out of

588
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 8: my first and that's huge, Like that's an honor, you know,

589
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:04,719
Speaker 8: and I respect that.

590
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 5: There is a special relationship between QB one and every

591
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 5: offensive lineman. Drew Stanton to my right would know that

592
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 5: because he played the position. As we say, welcome back

593
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 5: here on the Cardinals Red Seat Report presented by Seek

594
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 5: Geek Your Ticket to Great Seats. We hear from Paris

595
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 5: Johnson Junior at his introductory press conference. You've got to

596
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 5: make sure those five guys are happy and satisfied and

597
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 5: taken care of, right, Drew.

598
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 6: You've got to make sure the whole room's happy and satisfied. Yeah,

599
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 6: you know, And that's the thing. There's this brotherhood that

600
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 6: has to exist, this nonverbal communication, this trust, this respect,

601
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 6: this honor to go out and play for one another,

602
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 6: and no more important than upfront with those five guys

603
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 6: and being extension of the quarterback. And you know that's

604
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 6: really you You can see the identity of a team

605
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 6: depending on how close a quarterback was with his offensive line,

606
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,479
Speaker 6: especially with the center position, but even more than that

607
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 6: across the board, because those guys have to fight for you.

608
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 6: They've got to dig deeper. They've got to be able

609
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 6: to rely on you that you're giving everything that you

610
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 6: have to this organization to go out and win a

611
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 6: game when everything is on the line. They've got to

612
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 6: be able to trust that you've put the time and

613
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 6: effort into it. And really that's what you want to build.

614
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 6: Do You want to be able to build that mentality

615
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 6: moving forward? So for Kyler to be able to do

616
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 6: that to already have an impact on Paris Johnson Junior

617
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 6: before even is actually drafted here, kudos to Kyler because

618
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 6: that's the step in the direction this organization needs to take.

619
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 3: It sort of reminds me so far. First impression of

620
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 3: a Djamfries great personality. You heard of their ability to

621
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 3: spin a story, get a few laughs, but then on

622
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 3: game day is known for being deadly serious and playing

623
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 3: with an edge. I think that's the expectation with Paris

624
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 3: Johnson Junior. Well, we've seen what he can do on

625
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 3: the field at Ohio State. Now the question is what

626
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 3: can he do on the field with the Arizona Cardinals.

627
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 3: How about we hear more from the Cardinals' sixth overall

628
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 3: draft Paris Johnson Junior. Myself and Paul had a chance

629
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 3: to catch up with Paris after his Introrectory press conference

630
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 3: late last week.

631
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 5: Let's start with draft night. Can you put into words

632
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 5: the moments waiting, walking on stage, hearing your name called,

633
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 5: and then just everything after that a whirlwin as you

634
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 5: described it.

635
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was everything, I think. Just to be able

636
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 8: to to be on the phones, trying to stay calm,

637
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 8: stant to put the phone down. I feel like that's

638
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 8: when it hit me. Like I turn around and I'm

639
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 8: just screaming, moms crying and everyone's just proud. But you know,

640
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 8: I did it for me, but I did it for

641
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 8: her too. You know, we did this thing together, so

642
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 8: you know, see her emotion like that. I saw a video.

643
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 8: I got picked her up and I like, apparently my side,

644
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 8: I hit her on the back hard. After that, it's

645
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 8: all these comments like dang, you know they hit her,

646
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 8: you know, he hurt her ribs or something that I

647
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 8: asked or said, She's fine. But I saw a video,

648
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 8: I'm like, dang, dad, look hard. I was just very.

649
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 8: I was just very. I was very intense. It was

650
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,239
Speaker 8: intense moment. I'm just walking to the stage, felt well,

651
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 8: saying you know, she.

652
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 3: Was fine to do the TV interview and you could

653
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 3: see the emotion right And one of the questions to

654
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 3: her was just your demeanor, and she said, off the field,

655
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 3: he's a general giant. On the field, he's a totally

656
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 3: different person, especially on game day. Fill in the blank,

657
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 3: what are you like on game day?

658
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 8: Violent? I'm I don't really like to talk as much

659
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 8: before the games. Like everywhere that comes out of my

660
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 8: mouth is something that's two with mindset detail, trying to

661
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 8: get guys ready, like you know I can. I don't know,

662
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 8: like on game day. It's a spiritual thing. I pray

663
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 8: about it. I pray about this mindset, and as soon

664
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 8: as it comes over me, I feel like I am

665
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 8: a like soldier for God and it's and it's God's

666
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 8: purpose for me to go out there to dominate everybody.

667
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 8: So I walk on a feel like this, you know,

668
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 8: given right to tack every person in I feel that

669
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,959
Speaker 8: I'm responsible for and I face on. My mindset just changes.

670
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 3: You know, you're known for finishing blocks as your pencil

671
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 3: next sideline reporter right here, do I need to be

672
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 3: on the lookout? Are you going to finish blocks all

673
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 3: the way to the Gatorade cooler.

674
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's the he that's the goal. That's what I

675
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 8: want to do. You know, so far, I've done that

676
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 8: at every level, and I think that would be super

677
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 8: cool to do that NFL. How I don't think that

678
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 8: really happens to off in the NFL. No, but I

679
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 8: want to make it happen.

680
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 3: Do you tell guys about it?

681
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 7: Though?

682
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 3: If you if you go ahead and you pancake them

683
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 3: or you drive block them, do you tell guys about it?

684
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 3: Or are you just going back to the huddle. Oh?

685
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 8: I jog right back to the huddle because I fix

686
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 8: it's something that you know, I'm not gonna get too

687
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 8: crazy about in a moment. I'm gonna wait till the

688
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 8: next day and film with the team, act on nonchalant

689
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 8: like you know, you know, that's just you know, But

690
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 8: in the moment I do it, I jog right back.

691
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 8: I don't want any flags because when I block you,

692
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 8: I block way past the whistle a lot. You know what,

693
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 8: as soon as I think you start to stumble right,

694
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 8: if you're right next to the sideline, I'm going to

695
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 8: keep going. I don't even care balls and bound out

696
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 8: of bounds.

697
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 5: I'm going Is that a switch you flip on game day.

698
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 5: Is there a moment pregame that you get to that moment?

699
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 5: Because just sitting here speaking with you and we're on

700
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 5: board with Paris Johnson Junior, sixth overall pick, very well spoken,

701
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 5: soft spoken, but it's a different mindset for you on

702
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 5: the football field. How do you make that transition?

703
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I make that transition. So basically my routine

704
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 8: was on Friday night, I'd be chilling to stay before

705
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 8: the game, I'd be chilling mentally. So what I do

706
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 8: is that we have a team meal, team walk through.

707
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 8: It's like the best Fridays, play games the O line

708
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 8: in the morning, and then we have team meal, we

709
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 8: chill out the hotel together. So I've a chilled mentally

710
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 8: the entire time up until about eight o'clock and we're

711
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 8: in our rooms. At that point, I get my note

712
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 8: and I write everything I'm going I'm gonna do tomorrow.

713
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 8: I'm gonna I'm going to become a savage. I'm gonna

714
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 8: be a killer. I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna finish

715
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 8: every block. I'm going to do this. I am created

716
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 8: to be a warrior. Everything I'm doing is for the

717
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 8: glory of God. Remember every block, every finish for the

718
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 8: glory of God. God is gonna empower my hands and

719
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 8: feet to be in the right spot to do that.

720
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 8: I and I fill up the whole sheet. So there's

721
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 8: a who bunch of words on the sheet, but all

722
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 8: the white spaces cover words, words words. I write it

723
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 8: and I go to bed still chilled out. The next day,

724
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 8: I do my team stuff. Then I have a couple

725
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 8: hours in the room. I will read out everything on

726
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 8: that piece of paper out loud. Then I have a

727
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 8: toy minute prayer. After I'm done doing that prayer, and

728
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 8: I read that whole sheet, I might read the sheet,

729
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 8: do the prayer, and read the sheet again. And I

730
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 8: play the same gospel song every time. It's called Grateful.

731
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 8: I play it on full blast, my beats by the

732
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 8: end of the song, like the choir by saying so loud,

733
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 8: like that song gets me ready to just just take

734
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 8: somebody out because I do it for the gory of God.

735
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 8: And people say it sounds crazy, But like when you

736
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 8: do it like that, when you have that pride about

737
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 8: it and that energy about it, who can really stop you,

738
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 8: you know what I mean? So I get it like

739
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 8: that and then I'm ready to I'm ready to go.

740
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 8: It's a different look in your eye, you know what

741
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 8: I mean, Because it's no longer a game. It's no

742
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 8: longer a game. It's destiny, you know what I mean.

743
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 3: So in college, you went against the best of the best.

744
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 3: It's amazing to watch your game film. And you're going

745
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 3: against Georgia, You're going against Clemson, You're going against Michigan.

746
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 3: I mean, how prepared do you feel now for the

747
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 3: NFL level?

748
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 8: Yeah? I mean I looked at this NFL draft and

749
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 8: I believe about maybe four or five of the guys

750
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 8: in the first round, a whole bunch of guys that's

751
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 8: just first round alone of guys I've gone against. I

752
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 8: feel it's just prepared me ultimately for this level.

753
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 3: So how curious are you this season to get into

754
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 3: three point stance and come off the ball against the

755
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 3: Aaron Donalds and Nick Bosa's of the world.

756
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 8: Oh, that's legendary, you know what I mean? Like that?

757
00:34:55,160 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 8: Like that to me, that's a legendary matchup, just because,

758
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 8: like you say, you want the best, like you want

759
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 8: like you can't have a goal to play in the

760
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 8: NFL and then be afraid to go against these guys

761
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 8: like what, Like, that's like, that's what you want to

762
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 8: play in the NFL. Okay, that's NFL for you, you know.

763
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 8: And that's what I'm excited for because I've I've done

764
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 8: well in those scenarios. I'm going against dudes where it's like,

765
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 8: well that guy, you know, he's like that. Now, I'm like,

766
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 8: he hasn't played me yet, you know what I mean?

767
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 8: So I feel like I I thrive in those environments

768
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 8: and I'm I can't wait for games like that. I

769
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 8: can't wait. I'm going to say it right now. I

770
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 8: can't wait for Nick Bosa. I can't wait for Michaeh Parsons.

771
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 8: It's been a dreamer. I've already been studying his tape,

772
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 8: both of those guys tips and I want a pancake

773
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 8: Devin White so bad, just because I think he's a dog.

774
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 8: The guys, the guys I want to dominate are the

775
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 8: guys who I appreciating the game so much, you know

776
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 8: what I mean? Like, I want to attack the guys

777
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 8: that I appreciate so much in his games. I think

778
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 8: they're legends and I just want to go against them,

779
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 8: and I want to face him a rise up. I'm

780
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,479
Speaker 8: i gonna rise up going against no names. I gotta

781
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 8: find devil ware on the field. I got an oun

782
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 8: you know, same with Michael Parson, you know everybody that's

783
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 8: the fun. You know.

784
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 9: Well, I'm excited.

785
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,959
Speaker 5: I can't wait to see you on the football fields.

786
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 9: I'm ready to come off the ball exactly. Paris, welcome

787
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 9: and best of luck.

788
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 8: Thank you.

789
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 5: An impressive individual. Paris Johnson Junior with myself and Paul

790
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 5: Calvicy late last week after his introductory press conference. Now, Paul,

791
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 5: what we did not get into is some of the

792
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 5: off the field things that Paris is involved with, and

793
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 5: the fact that he is fluent in Chinese. He's learning Portuguese,

794
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 5: so you might want to brush up on some of

795
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 5: that to communicate on the sideline. He has his journalism degree.

796
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 5: He had a beat on the school paper. I mean,

797
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 5: my goodness, right, I think guy started a charity benefiting

798
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 5: veterans while he was in high school. He got an

799
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 5: award and endowment for his charity that he started once

800
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 5: again high school. So you understand when the Cardinals talk

801
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 5: about drafting the player and the person, they feel like

802
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 5: they check both boxes in a big way there and

803
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 5: you heard the mindset.

804
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 3: Okay, he wants that smoke. Aaron Donald, Devin White, you

805
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 3: know Nick Bosa. Look to me, the key to the

806
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,760
Speaker 3: Rams all those years was Andrew Whitworth. What the Rams

807
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 3: looked like last year minus Andrew Whitworth. Look at the

808
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 3: Niners and Trent Williams. If you're telling me the Cardinals

809
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 3: have that guy at either tackle spot for the next decade. Okay,

810
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 3: He'll be known as a foundation building piece of this reset.

811
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 5: It is the Cardinals Red Sea Report, presented by Seat Keek.

812
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 5: Your ticket to great seats when we come back?

813
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 3: Could it be?

814
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 5: Is DeAndre Hopkins coming back though he'd never really left.

815
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 5: This is the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

816
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 2: Snap to Murray, short set throws left side of the

817
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 2: end zone, boom handed catch for a touchdown by the

818
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 2: Andre Hopkins. Oh my goodness, he stabbed that out of

819
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 2: the air with his left hand, pulled it in pra

820
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 2: a huge Cardinals score.

821
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 4: Fantastic chemistry between Kyler Murray at de Andre Hopkins, and

822
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 4: you talk about it. Those daggers, those steely knife stabbed

823
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,240
Speaker 4: the pig with his left hand.

824
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 8: Out of the air.

825
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 5: One of Hopkins is three touchdown catches a year ago.

826
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 5: As we continue here on the Cardinals Red Sea Report

827
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 5: presented by seat Geek Your Ticket to Great seats, a

828
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 5: lot of conversation about what the Cardinals did and the

829
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 5: draft it as they say what is next?

830
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 9: We move forward?

831
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 5: Offseason workouts continue pretty soon mandatory mini camp and then yeah,

832
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 5: a little bit of a break, and then you move

833
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 5: into training camp, preseason and the regular season. But why

834
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 5: are we talking about DeAndre Hopkins? Question is what is

835
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 5: Hotlins his future with this team? New front office, new

836
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 5: coaching staff. Remember at the end of last season January eleventh,

837
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 5: an Instagram post of DeAndre Hopkins in a Cardinals uniform

838
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 5: with the caption forever grateful. Well, we have another Instagram

839
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 5: post from DeAndre Hopkins, this an ig story posted on Monday.

840
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 8: I see everybody telling me to stay.

841
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 3: Who said I want to go?

842
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 8: Who said I wanted to leave? Where he babies?

843
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 9: Now?

844
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 5: In fairness, Paul d hop never came out publicly and

845
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 5: said I want out, though he and his representative were

846
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 5: given permission by the Cardinals to speak with other teams

847
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 5: to help facilitate a trade. And we really haven't heard

848
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 5: d hop say I want to return to the Arizona Cardinals,

849
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 5: even though he's under contract for two seasons. So I

850
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 5: really don't know where to go with this outside of

851
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 5: just saying I'm surprised post draft that we still have

852
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 5: number ten on the roster.

853
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 3: Well, he's conveyed it without saying it, right, He's outsourced

854
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 3: it to des Bryant von Miller. There have been basically

855
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 3: the de hop hype men trying to get the market going,

856
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 3: whether it's for Dallas or Buffalo respectively. He's on a podcast,

857
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 3: a video podcast, fielding questions about potential trade destinations and

858
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 3: then giving his once again not saying it, but reacting

859
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 3: to it and giving the visuals positive or negative as

860
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 3: whether he would be bullish or not on going to oh,

861
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 3: Kansas City or Buffalo, for example. So let's not act

862
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 3: like he hasn't been an instigator or a catalyst of

863
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 3: a lot of the source of the speculation.

864
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 9: Action speak louder than words a lot at times.

865
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 3: Drew.

866
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, look, I think he just wants guaranteed money.

867
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 6: As we've said before on the show. He wants the

868
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 6: security of that, and I don't blame him. The injuries

869
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 6: can happen, anything can happen, and he's playing an extremely

870
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 6: high level. He's still one of the top, if not

871
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 6: the top wide receiver in the league when he's out there,

872
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 6: and he's a huge asset to any organization. So you know,

873
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 6: when you have a change into the guard and you

874
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 6: want to make sure he buys in and they've said

875
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 6: all right things right, Jonathan Gann has got out there

876
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 6: consistently and maintained his message of saying, yeah, why would

877
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 6: we not want him out there?

878
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 3: I've had a game plan against him.

879
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 6: He is a complete headache, so and saying that, you know,

880
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 6: there's no reason to see if it's not amicable, that

881
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 6: you can find a way to get him what he

882
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 6: wants and keep him here and keep Kyler Murray comfortable

883
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 6: with another weapon, because again, you let him walk out

884
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 6: that door. And though you just spent a third round

885
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:26,479
Speaker 6: pick on somebody at that position group, he's far cry

886
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 6: from DeAndre Hopkins skill level on ability at this point

887
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 6: in time.

888
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 5: T hop not the only player with some uncertainty with

889
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 5: respects to their future with the Cardinals. Under contract for

890
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 5: two seasons but no guaranteed money. Safety Budda Baker under

891
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 5: contract with the Arizona Cardinals, no guaranteed money over the

892
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 5: next two seasons. So yes, a topic of conversation General

893
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 5: manager Money Austin for sitting down with cam Cox over

894
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 5: at twelve News, asked about both players.

895
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 8: DeAndre Hopkins still a member of this roster.

896
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 3: I think that's surprising, folks. Where does that stand now with.

897
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 7: Dhap Now DeAndre is a cardinal and then we're moving

898
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 7: forward with him on the team.

899
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 8: And then Buddha, of course, where does this stay with him?

900
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 3: What do you foresee with that situation moving forward?

901
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 7: The same situation with Buddha. Buddha is a valuable member

902
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 7: of this team and we can't wait to get him

903
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 7: in the building and work.

904
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 5: That was on Saturday. Fast forward to Tuesday morning, Dave

905
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 5: Pash sitting down with manty aasin Forts on the Day

906
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 5: Pash podcast, which is available right now. But Dave, once

907
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 5: again from that fine institution in Central New York, Syracuse,

908
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 5: making sure to ask the pertinent questions about de hop

909
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 5: and Buddha.

910
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 7: The key to both those situations is communication, and both

911
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 7: d hop and Buddha have been great with communicating with

912
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 7: me back and forth with their you know, their representation.

913
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 7: So I think you know understanding that that players have

914
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,839
Speaker 7: opinions and ideas and things that go through their head. Hey,

915
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 7: that's that's human nature. We all have that that that

916
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 7: happens for all of us. But I think just continuing

917
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 7: to have those conversations and and keeping them informed and

918
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 7: in our thought process and the things that we have

919
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 7: going on here. I mean, there's it's it's exciting here

920
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 7: right now. There's a good energy in the building, and

921
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 7: you know, I think the guys that are here that

922
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 7: have been working are seeing that and seeing some of

923
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 7: the things that we're doing and some of the changes

924
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 7: that we made. So so we're excited about that, and

925
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 7: I think we're just going to continue to keep those

926
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 7: lines of communication open.

927
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 5: Hopkins and Baker Drew not the first, won't be the

928
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 5: last players unhappy with their situation, whether financially or where

929
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 5: they are location wise. But this is not new. We've

930
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 5: seen players in the past Patrick Peterson, Chandler Jones, Jordan

931
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 5: Hicks request trades but still play that following season with

932
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:38,280
Speaker 5: the Arizona Cardinals.

933
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, Look, when you have leverage and you have the

934
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 6: ability in the off season to be selfish, that's when

935
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 6: you try to make the most of it. When the

936
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,879
Speaker 6: season starts. That's when you become unselfish and you buy

937
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 6: into the team sport that is football, and saying that

938
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 6: I would do everything in my power to make sure

939
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 6: the Buddha Baker is happy. You know, you look at

940
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 6: what he still brings to the table, and even you

941
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 6: know hard to Knocks documented it so well last year

942
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 6: of what he brings the team, how he plays through injury,

943
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 6: what he means and so many fasts to this organization.

944
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 6: He is the backbone. And when they request the trade

945
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 6: a person of that caliber, some red flags go up.

946
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 6: So get the contract done.

947
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 3: Get him in here.

948
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 6: And DeAndre that's a different story. You can mend that bridge,

949
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 6: but I would make sure that Buddha is all in

950
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 6: for what this is going to be about.

951
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 3: Look, de Hawk can still be dealt. New York Giants

952
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 3: trade up in round three to get Jalen Hyatt out

953
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 3: of Tennessee. He's already arguably wide receiver one. How'd that

954
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 3: work out for Tennessee last year at Treylon Burks when

955
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 3: they get into camp and realize, oh boy, there's a

956
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,720
Speaker 3: serious learning curve with this rookie. Maybe we do need

957
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 3: d Hawk to compete in the NFC's Buffalo didn't get

958
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 3: any better at receiver. Case still has an e theoretically

959
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 3: if they want to defend. I think it's still in play.

960
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:49,480
