Speaker 1: Red Rage tonight that Ron Wolfley will run rough shot

00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: and have the last word. Tonight. There is zero chance

16
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: that Wolf will cut off any of my brilliant takes.

17
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: Paulli piskin here this evening, just like there's zero chance

18
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: that Wolf will be allowed to go on some five

19
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: minutes soliloquy, waxing, poetic about Devonte Wyatt or maybe twelve

20
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: percent ALB zero chance or getting under center zero chance

21
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: that we're gonna fail, that we're gonna fail. Yes, I'm

22
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: calling my shot that we're gonna fail to put the

23
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: big into Big Red Rage tonight. Because our big time

24
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: guests none other than a seven time Pro Bowl receiver

25
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: by the name of AJ Green. Here on the Big

26
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert We are

27
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: Santan Ford, Paul Calvci here, Ron Wolfley there. You know what,

28
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: Paul cannot wait for that once again. And because Aj

29
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: Green and the ability, I know you had the opportunity

30
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: to talk to him a little bit earlier in the day.

31
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: But Aj Green, this is going to be a situation,

32
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: Paul where the Arizona Cardinals. It's interesting they love their

33
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: free agency from a year ago so much they're doubling

34
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: down on it once again. And to me, Paul, that

35
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: is an admission by them that they believe the ten

36
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: in two was real. Yeah. I mean they're saying it

37
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: with the check book, They're saying it with the roster moves.

38
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: They're saying that whatever was illen and ail in this

39
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: team over the last six weeks of the season when

40
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: they lost five of their final six, including the playoff

41
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: loss at the Rams. Is correctable? Is something we can

42
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: do something about. That's essentially what they're saying. You're right

43
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: when you hit zoom out and you look at the

44
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: big picture on the big red and it'll be interesting

45
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: because Aj Green, we had a chance, you know, at

46
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: length to discuss a lot of these issues. He talks

47
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: about Kyler Murray, he talks about his chemistry or lack

48
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: thereof with Kyler Murray. He's very forthright. He's much more

49
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: honest in this setting. We had more time to deal

50
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: with it than he did with the media via zoom

51
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: earlier in the week. So that's straight ahead. But I

52
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: mentioned the quote zero chance, and we mentioned Kyler Murray

53
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: because Steve Kim and Cliff Kingsbury met the media today.

54
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: As you know, Ron Wolf Lean, well, we'll just get

55
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: right to it. Ken Summers, longtime Cardinals reporter and local columnists,

56
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: was the one who asked the question of the Cardinals GM,

57
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot of speculation out there in the possibility

58
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: of you guys trading Kyler you can do can you

59
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: rule that out? Zero chance? Do you believe it Rono. Yes,

60
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: you know what I do, Bully, I do because of

61
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: how definitive he said that. Now you know, once again

62
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: I understand things can change and do change down the road.

63
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, he said it so definitively, Paul, and with

64
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: no follow up whatsoever. I think that was it was

65
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: done on purpose by Steve Kim, and I think it

66
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: points to where the Arizona Ardinals are headed on this,

67
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: which means at some point in time after the draft,

68
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: probably not before, but after the draft, there's going to

69
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: be an extension of Kyler Murray because tis the season

70
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: for smoke screens. We know what this is all about.

71
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,799
Speaker 1: A lot of people correctly pointed out there were similar

72
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: comments made leading up to the twenty nineteen draft about

73
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen when Kyler Murray was a number one pick.

74
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: Now the circumstances are completely different this time around. Correct

75
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: A lot of obvious reasons we don't have to get into.

76
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: But and I'm with you, I do believe it. I mean, honestly,

77
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: what are the alternatives? What are the alternatives? If Kyler

78
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: Murray's in your quarterback, even if you get a Mondo

79
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: Draft Hall el Grande, Yeah, then what you're automatically back

80
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: in QB purgatory. You're right where you've been in between

81
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner and Carson Palmer, and Carson Palmer and Kyler Murray.

82
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: You're looking for that next guy, and there's no guarantee

83
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: no matter how many picks you have, that you're gonna

84
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: find the right guy. So once again, paul I'll cotinue

85
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: to talk about the fact that the Cardinals, instead of

86
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: being aggressive in free agency, they decided to be aggressive

87
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: in pursuing their own guys and the possibility of winning

88
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: games with their own guys all over again, which tells

89
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: me they think they have something. To your point, Paulie,

90
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: they think they have something that is fixable, completely fixable

91
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: the way they've finished the last two seasons. And by

92
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: the way, Michael Biddwell, team owner, to Ken Summers as

93
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: well on the potential that there might be a Kyler

94
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: Murray trade, and we're quoting Michael Biddwell quote, Yeah, that's

95
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 1: not happening. There's just too much outside noise of people

96
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: listen to. We understand that's just part of what goes

97
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: on these days with social media. It's just not the case.

98
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: And your point about the timeline and We've talked about

99
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: this for two three months now here on the Big

100
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: Red Rage, have we not how the other six quarterbacks

101
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: after year three who got their contract extensions, if you

102
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: go back, every one of them was in June, July, August,

103
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: or September, and Steve Kime he doubled down on that.

104
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: The way we've approached it is we have free agency,

105
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: we have the draft, and then you know, we'll take

106
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: a deep breath and sort of refocus. And that's the

107
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: same reason that every other player that's been a third

108
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: year quarterback has been done in the middle of the

109
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: summer to late summer, and it's just sort of the

110
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: way that the system works. But nothing has changed in

111
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: terms of him being our long term and short term quarterback.

112
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: Steve Kime did verify with the media that he has

113
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: spoken recently to Team Kyler about a contract. So, you know,

114
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: considering the comments made and just sort of the vibe

115
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: at today's press comments and then you take into account

116
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: Kyler's tweets and you wonder, Wolf if there has not

117
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: been some significant progress in forward momentum to getting that

118
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: deal done. Well, you know what you just said up

119
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: Ali right there. The reason why I think I'm going

120
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: to put this in the positive column in a big,

121
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: big way. It's because of kylermur restweets. I'm sorry, hey, listen,

122
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: nobody's ever going to be able to convince me the

123
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: social media thing wasn't a thing, right, Oh, it was

124
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: a thing. I'm just saying. He scrubbed it and suddenly, um,

125
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: you know what, there was an all caps letter that

126
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: was sent out as well. You know, I mean, listen, Um,

127
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: I don't think we're naive or or stupid here. So

128
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: once again, it was a thing, and Kyler Murray has

129
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: used it in the way that he used Twitter. I

130
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: absolutely loved because he was supporting him being in Arizona

131
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: Cardinal in twenty twenty two and going forward and being committed.

132
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: And there were basically three tweets today from Kyler Murray

133
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: and two in response. One late in the day was

134
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport and he tweeted out that quote from Steve

135
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: Kimes zero chance for trading Kyler Murray. Kyler Murray's response

136
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: via Twitter was one hundred as in one hundred percent,

137
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: as you know. And then then there was Kyler in

138
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: response to the Patrick Peterson podcast that featured Chase Edmonds

139
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: and in some shade throne by Pat pe not the

140
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: first time towards his former team. Kyler's response and I quote,

141
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: I want to win Super Bowls with the Cardinals. A

142
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: Z is home and tweet Kyler Murray. Paully. That was

143
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: intentional that much we do know, right, I mean, that

144
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: was an intentional act right there by Kyler Murray to

145
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: support his team. And again I'm going to put that

146
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: in the positive column and expect and make make me

147
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: think that a deal is going to get done, and

148
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: it's going to get done after the draft. And then

149
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: the third tweet was in response to Colin Cowherd, and

150
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: Cowherd was on this rant and there was a graphic

151
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: on his TV show that read and I quote Kyler

152
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: is harder to build a culture around. That's all it's said, right,

153
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: And then and then he was comparing Kyler doing Aaron

154
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: Rodgers and guys who do their own thing, and Kyler's

155
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: reply via Twitter was and I quote, run whatever narratives

156
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: y'all want to run, but questioning my work ethic. I'm

157
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 1: not going for that. Stop playing with me, Colin. I

158
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: still rock with you, but come on and tweet Kyler Murray. Yeah,

159
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, just the fact he is

160
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: engaging at what is going on and being set out

161
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: there instead of the sound of silence, I think is

162
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: a positive, don't you, Bully? Absolutely? I mean the fact

163
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: that you know he's a the fact that he's actually

164
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: acknowledging that he's part of the Cardinal's future, which to

165
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: your point when he scrubbed the instagram right when there's

166
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: no tracer, barely a trace of the team he played for.

167
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: So now at least you have he's commenting basically and

168
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: having a future with the team, and we get it.

169
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: It's a whole part of the contract process, in the

170
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: back and forth and the negotiations, and there's a realization

171
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: I think on Kyler's part that he has a great

172
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: fit with the offense and the head coach, does he

173
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: not no doubt? And then the GM, right, I mean,

174
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: and this is me, this is Steve Kyme. Listen to

175
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: Steve Kiman what he had to say about having a

176
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback that was a decent GM when Carson Palmer

177
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: was our quarterback when he retired, I wasn't very good.

178
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: I am smart enough to know that Kyler Murray makes

179
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: me a better GM. So he you know again, we

180
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: took him with the first overall pick. We love him.

181
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: The guys continue to improve. He's made us a better

182
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: football team, so we were excited about his future. How

183
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: many times does Steve Kim tell us on this very

184
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: show that pre Kyler Murray, every single day he would

185
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: wake up and think to himself, how and where am

186
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: I getting a franchise quarterback? Yes Na, that's right, Bali,

187
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: I mean that is a problem right there. But to

188
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: his point, Steve Kim, after how many times has he

189
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: won the NFL Executive of the Year award twice? Paul

190
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, and it's laughable when you

191
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: talk about Steve Kim in the way that a lot

192
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: of people out there don't want Steve Kim to be

193
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: the general manager for the Arizona Cardinal. I'm sorry. You

194
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: know what, you built a team, a playoff team, a

195
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: playoff caliber team, not once but twice. And I realized

196
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: you could say, well that was over the course of

197
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 1: nine years and everything, Well, you know what, a lot

198
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 1: of times you're finding a quarterback that you're going to

199
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: with three four years, and Steve Kim found two different

200
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and built two different teams that actually went to

201
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And by the undeniable yes, and by the way,

202
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: he doesn't that go for every single GM. I mean

203
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: Jason Light before Tom Brady, the Buccaneers are on a

204
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: twelve year run of no playoff appearances. What were the

205
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: Buccaneers gonna look like this year minus Tom Brady until

206
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: he unretired and came back, right, Yeah, I mean Light too, sure,

207
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: and he's not. Look at John Schneider up in Seattle.

208
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: Look at his last six or seven draft classes or

209
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: lack thereof, and then they got rid of Russell Wilson.

210
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: Good luck the last place Seahawks on that one. So okay,

211
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: if they're tracking and trending towards a contract extension, what

212
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: does that mean for Kyler Murray? Now that the offseason

213
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: activities began officially this week, Will Cliff Kingsbury was at

214
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: the press conference and he was asked that question. You know,

215
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: we understand it's voluntary at this point. Um, I do

216
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: expect him here at some point, but I think if

217
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: you any coach, we'd all want them here a lot

218
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: more than we get them. But that's part of the CBA,

219
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: and they're all professionals. In hand of their business. All right,

220
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: So this week, you know, well, if it's weight room

221
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: work and it's you know, some conditioning out on the field,

222
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: there's no actual football going on. But I will say

223
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: and and AJ Green, we ask AJ Green about it

224
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: coming up here in a matter of moments on the

225
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert that

226
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: you know, if one of the keys of this offense

227
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: is getting the receivers on the same page with the

228
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: quarterback and developing greater chemistry in the passing game and

229
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: that connection and everyone being in sync, and especially when

230
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: the game's on the line, you know what. To me,

231
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: these off season activities are important when it comes to football. Yeah,

232
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: and I don't I don't care if it's on air.

233
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's seven on seven. I don't

234
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: care if it's just the offense before they can even

235
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: go against the defense, Kyler throwing a receiver who's got

236
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: to be in the right spot at the right time

237
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: and get that precision in the passing game that matters. Yeah,

238
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: I know you're absolutely right about that, Paulie, But you know,

239
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: can I just also throw in the fact that I

240
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: think even strength and conditioning matters I do. I'm sorry, Listen,

241
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: this is when you get a great opportunity to work

242
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: out with your teammate, Paul. You get a great opportunity

243
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: to get to know relationally your teammate better than you

244
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: will when you actually go into the regular season. And

245
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: the reason being, of course, the regular season, Paul, there's

246
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: so much structure, there's so much order, there's so much stress.

247
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: It's a get to now do everything now, check ABCD

248
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: all the boxes. Now. You're more split up than you

249
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: are in the off season. Of course, where you don't,

250
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: you don't have this rigid schedule all day. Look, Polly,

251
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: I used to love it. I used to love going

252
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: in and working out with my brothers, whether it was

253
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: running out on the field, Paul, whether it was in

254
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: the weight room thrown around. So I don't want to

255
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: say that's not important, because I think that's where you

256
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: really build a lot of relationships as well. But look

257
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: across the NFL, man, there's not a lot of guys

258
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: that are showing up for strength and conditioning, and hey,

259
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: push each other, right, I mean, guys push each other.

260
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: And you have the NFL Strength Coach of the Year

261
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: and Buddy Morris, So what's not to like? Right? Cut

262
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: the sleeves off now, just like the Draft Weekend Country

263

00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: What a great read by Kyler Murray to throw the ball.

282
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: You've got a scarecrow on a stick. Put it out there,

283
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: let him go get it. That's exactly what A J.

284
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: Green did. Can you do it as Liam Neeson? Want

285
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: a great read by Kyler Murray? To throw the ball.

286
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: You've got a scarecrow on a stick. Put it out there,

287
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: let him go get it. That's exactly what A J.

288
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: Green did. The unmistakable Frank Caliendo the mind the voices

289
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: of only one Frank Callie ido on the passpot recently

290
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: as he recreated in the different voices the AJ Green

291
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: forty one yard touchdown catch against the La Rams week four,

292
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: and now we have the real AJ Green in studio

293
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: here and the big red rage. Your reaction just to

294
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: hearing all the voices recreate that call man, he's very talented.

295
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: He's sounded just like them. Never heard anything that good

296
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: that he's can do. Each person like that so well.

297
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: So as he's very talented guy, what's all good for

298
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: you right now? Wires on him? Why year two with

299
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: the Cardinals? I think if you look at my year

300
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: last year, you know I had a productive year, and

301
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: I feel like my second year was going to be

302
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: even more productive. You know, had other offers in different

303
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: places in one to me, but I made a decision

304
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: that what fits me well. I didn't not divedn't have

305
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: to start over. I know what the coaches like, I

306
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: know the culture here, I know what they envisioned me

307
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: going to be coming into this year like I was

308
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: last year. So for me, it just not all about

309
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: the money. It's about still building my legacy. And I

310
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: think it was the best part for me. And there's

311
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: room to grow, isn't there. I mean I need two

312
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: hands to count how many times last year Cliff Kingsbury

313
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: told us, man, we need to get the ball to

314
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: number eighteen more. Aj Green needs to get more targets.

315
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: So do you see that your role evolve being I

316
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: think so. I think from last year even you know

317
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: a lot of people didn't expect me to do that

318
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: well in this offense. I think being another year with

319
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: Cliff and Kyler and just getting that relationship more because

320
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: I fell out. Like in the end, we tailed off

321
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: a little bit once Kawe got hurt and coming back

322
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: things were a little off, and then de Hop got hurt.

323
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: So I hope in this year we can jail throughout

324
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: the whole season. How much did the Cardinals offense leave

325
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: out there in the last two months. I think we

326
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: left a lot, you know, just looking back, even going

327
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: back and this reflecting on the season and watching some

328
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: of the games that we missed. You know, me personally,

329
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: I didn't finish this season where I wanted to finish,

330
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: and I got to be better on that. How do

331
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: you diagnose it? I mean, until you can correct a problem,

332
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: you got to identify it, right. I think it's just

333
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: a lot of communication with us, you know, being this

334
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: lead for so long. These NFL seasons is up and down,

335
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: and we started so hot. I think the leadership of

336
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: our team, you know, tailed off a little bit. I

337
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: think we just had to mess ups, you know, injury

338
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: whell that's not an excuse. But I think next year now,

339
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: I mean this year is coming up, we just gotta

340
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: be more honing on our details. What does d Hop

341
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: do for you and what do you do for d Hop?

342
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: I think d Hop, you know, he demand's attention and

343
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: I think that's where helps everybody else this offense jail

344
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: when he's going, you know, last year we had see

345
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: Kirk and I and then d hop defense couldn't really

346
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: key on one person. And when that happened, See Kirk

347
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: had a good game while I have a good game.

348
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: So having him out there just changed the whole dynamic

349
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: of the game. The fact you're both South Carolina guys too,

350
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: do you do you have an is that next level

351
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: in terms of connection and the where you guys just

352
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: sort of interact and get along. I think this is

353
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: our personality. We both want to win. We don't care

354
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: about the balls. We've already been that guy catching a

355
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: lot of balls. We just want to win and try

356
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: to get a ring. I think that's what helps us

357
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: out in that room when we had a great room.

358
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: Wanted a part of the best rooms I've been a

359
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: part of last year when we had those guys, man,

360
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: And I'm excited to get back with you know, Sean,

361
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: Jay and Claire and get this thing rolling. And I

362
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: know you guys we're on board with aj Green here

363
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: on the big Red Rage. I mean, you're so competitive.

364
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: You guys are perfectionists. You're demanding yourselves. How about you

365
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: and your game? Where would you like to get better?

366
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: You mentioned three times you led the team and catches

367
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: five times and receiving yards. You tied with a See

368
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: Kirk for most twenty five yard catches, you know, et cetera.

369
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of great but if you're

370
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: going to strive to improve upon last year, where and

371
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: how for you? For me, it's just more of my

372
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: attention to details, just being on Kiwa Kyla at all times,

373
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: communicating with him, and I think that's for me, that's

374
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: what I got to do better. It's communicating one k one,

375
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: just not let it be somebody else, communicain what I'm

376
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: saying to him. It's being me face to face to

377
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: him and telling me what he's seeing, what I need

378
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: to do, you know, just things like that, because if

379
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: you listen to fans a lot of times, to say, man,

380
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: it just seemed at times that Kyler and AJ weren't

381
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: quite on the same page. Fair unfair, that's fair. That's

382
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: one hundred percent fair. And I felt the same way.

383
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: So that's what me got to be accountable, going to

384
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: him and telling what I see and what he needs

385
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: me to do better. I can take it like, AJ,

386
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 1: you need to run this rod at this deep. You

387
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: need to do this. You know it's no big I'm

388
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: not I'm not bigger than the team. Man. I need

389
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: him to communicate with me and I'll do the same.

390
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: Where do you think in terms of Kyler in his

391
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: upside and it just as a quarterback, What do you

392
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: see in the future for him? Man? He's an MPP

393
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: caliber guy. Man. I think the jury threw him off

394
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: a little bit. But if you look at the first

395
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: couple of games, man, he's playing at the AMPVG level.

396
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: And for me, it just got to continue helping him,

397
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: bringing him along. And I mean, he's not a guy

398
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: that's gonna be in your face, but we got to

399
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: make him be in his face because this is his

400
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,719
Speaker 1: team and we go as he go. What does it

401
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: mean for receiver when he's extending plays. I forget which

402
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator was. They showed video like he extended to

403
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: play thirteen seconds and then completed a pass. But what

404
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: does it mean for you guys in the receiver room. Oh? Man,

405
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: it's another part of the offense. There's another part of

406
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: the offense that a lot of defense is not. You

407
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: can't account for. You see a guy just running around

408
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: making guys miss, and then all the ross all broke off,

409
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: so as his back a football and I had to

410
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: get used to that. I wasn't used to that. You know,

411
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 1: I played with Andy Dotan ten years, so he was

412
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: just on the time, but playing with k one place

413
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,719
Speaker 1: never did so I gotta stay alive. AJ Green our

414
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: guest on the Big Red Rage It's All About You,

415
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: presented by Santan Ford. James Connor. Your reaction when the

416
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: Cardinals resigned James Connery. You're nodding right now, aren't you? Yeah?

417
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: Why why is that? What does he do for this offense?

418
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: And just the vibe on the sideline. I've been seeing

419
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: j C since Pittsburgh day, so I understand what he

420
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: could do. But watching him, his energy he brings to

421
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: the locker room is unmatched. He's the same guy every day.

422
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: And I'm so happy that he signed back here. Man.

423
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: He deserves it. Man, he had an unbelievable season. If

424
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: you see that guy work like he need more money.

425
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: He need way more money. He need more money in that,

426
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: but just to have him back, and he made him

427
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: to him the pro bow, his whole story. You're rutheful

428
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: guys like that, and James is unbelievable guy. Physicality, his mentality.

429
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: You bring him Max Williams back right, he had a

430
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: zach Ertz. I mean, is this offense trending in a

431
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: certain direction, because when you guys were at your best,

432
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: you were a physical offense, weren't you. Yes, And I

433
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: think people didn't understand how physical we were if they

434
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: look at us and being the mar finess. But we

435
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: put on tape that we can be physical when we

436
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: need to. So we got to continue this next year,

437
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: and I'm glad we got got most out pieces back

438
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: so we can make a run out of this thing again,

439
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: including Rondale Moore going into year two. Seawan Jefferson, your

440
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: receivers coach, sat in that very chair, and he talked

441
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: about Rondale Moore and what's in store for him in

442
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: year two. What do you see? Because he talked about

443
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 1: getting the ball to him down field, more, expanding the

444
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: route tree, and he talked about how capable Rondale Moore is. Oh,

445
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: he's very capable. I think people get lost in what

446
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: he did last year and how he was used. But

447
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 1: if you go look at his college tape, the guy

448
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: has great hands, great routes, great run, apt to to catch.

449
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: So I feel like he's gonna make a huge leap

450
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: from last year to this year. It's gonna be It's

451
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: gonna be special as a guy that works his butt

452
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: off as well. A lot of the mock drafts have

453
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: the Cardinals going receiver in round one, if not then

454
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: in round two when a young receiver comes in, what

455
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: do you look for? I mean, guys like me, I

456
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: can see the measurables, you know, maybe some of the production.

457
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: What do you look for when you see your young receiver?

458
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: I think this that competitiveness. You know, you think you

459
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: made it. My mentality was always there that you got

460
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: to revenge yourself. And I think when you see young

461
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 1: guys like that, when you see Rondelle and how he

462
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: approached stuff last year, that's what I'm looking for. That's

463
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: what I'm looking for. A guy that's put his head down,

464
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 1: don't talk that much, just go to work every day.

465
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: So you had other offers, huh, you had other offers

466
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 1: out you thought about it, I agent, and it was

467
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: you know, you know how left free agency healing works.

468
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: I'm at a place in my career where I'm comfortable.

469
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable and I can take my time. I have

470
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: the ability to take my time. But I felt like

471
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: this was the right place from him. And I'll tell you,

472
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: we're all grateful that the place for you is Arizona.

473
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 1: So congratulations on that. Thank you. We look forward this

474
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: year kJ Green on a Big Red Rage. We continue

475
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: right after this corner number. Let go and Jeff Clatney

476
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: like a shot shot, see him down, get him to me.

477
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: It's a freebee. We got an extra first round pick,

478
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: you know, basically in free agency. Incredibly quick footed, highly

479
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: instinctive player. It's a reason again he went in the

480
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: first round and we're getting a you know, a starter

481
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: in our building with and we didn't you know, waste

482
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 1: any draft capital basically, so um, he helps us out.

483
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: Immediately excited to have him, and he's gonna help big

484
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: time again. I'll take him that next up. Director of

485
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: Player Personnel, Drew Grigson. Last week here on the Big

486
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert, we are

487
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: santan Ford and that was the word that stood out

488
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: about Jeff Gladney. Starter. I mean, we heard Paul Allen

489
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: and the Vikings radio you heard him all miked up.

490
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: Jeff Gladney is rookie year he sat out last year,

491
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: so this will be year number three the former first

492
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: round pick. You're a little bit of a scouter, report Putt.

493
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: When you hear Drew Grigson use the word starter, you

494
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: realize that they're counting on Jeff Gladney to make an

495
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: impact immediately. Ron Wilton, Yeah, now you're right about that, Paully,

496
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: And the other thing you've got to remember, of course,

497
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: for the most part, I think most teams and most

498
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,479
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators and general managers think you got to have

499
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: three starters at the corner position because how much Polly

500
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: that you see teams going with eleven personnel, one back,

501
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: one tight end, three wide receivers, And because of that,

502
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: they pretty much feel like that nickel corner is a

503
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: starter as well, and anytime they have the ability to

504
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: move Byron Murphy around. Right, So let's say Gladney can

505
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: in these only five ten you know they say, okay,

506
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,120
Speaker 1: plays bigger. He does he have the ability to match

507
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: up against outside guys. But if he is that guys,

508
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: we know Vans Joseph likes Byron Murphy to use him

509
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 1: quite often and certain matchups inside, does he not? Yeah,

510
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: there's no doubt Paula. I don't consider a corner that

511
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: is five ten to be small. I'm sorry, I don't.

512
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: And obviously there are teams out there that feel exactly

513
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: the same way, because they draft a lot of guys

514
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: who are five ten five eleven six foot tall right

515
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: in that range. In terms of playing corner, I don't

516
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: think he's necessarily small for the position. I think if

517
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: you want to start talking about being under five ten,

518
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: I get that, But I can't tell you how many

519
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: guys I've seen, how many corners I've seen that are

520
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: five ten, five ten and a half and almost two

521
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 1: hundred pounds one hundred ninety five pounds who are stocky

522
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: and play the position just fine. Yeah, well, all right,

523
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: speaking of positions, the question is Steve Khme at his

524
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: annual draft press conference pre draft presser, was all right,

525
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: positions of need, what do you think do the GM

526
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: Steve Kahn would acknowledge that, you know, edge rusher, wide receiver, corner,

527
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: you know, any of those positions that are you know,

528
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 1: they're hard to find. I mean, listen, when guys get

529
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: the free agency and they get paid the kind of

530
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: money they get, you know you're looking at left tackles, corners,

531
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: you know, guys that are really hard to find. Obviously quarterbacks.

532
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: Now receivers are playing into that a little bit. Obviously,

533
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: you know when you see some of the salaries that

534
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: these guys are getting into the receiver position. If you

535
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: can get a number one receiver, there's no reason not

536
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 1: to take one, and there's no doubt about that. I

537
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: think the status there's eight receivers now making eighteen million

538
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: or more per season in the NFL. It is absolutely rocketed.

539
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: We know what Christian Kirk has gone to the salary

540
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: structure for NFL receivers around the league. But when I

541
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: hear him site positions Wolf, because we know how low

542
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,239
Speaker 1: the GMS are to actually name names and positions. So

543
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: when he says edge rusher, wide receiver in corner, you

544
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: know what my first thought was sitting there at that

545
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 1: press conference today. That means that means zeros on our

546
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: Cardinals in Round one are going to draft either O

547
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: line or D line. That's what that means. That was

548
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: my title. It's so funny you say that, Polly, because honestly,

549
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: it's that time of year right now, is that not?

550
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 1: It is that time of year where you can't believe

551
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: anything that a general manager actually says in front of

552
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: a microphone. Why in the world would a GM ever

553
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: tip off anybody, in particular other gms across the league

554
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: as to how he might go or how he might

555
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: unfold in the draft. It's not going to happen. Why

556
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: would anybody do that? They wouldn't you know? In mind

557
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: what thirty years now doing this covering an NFL team.

558
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: The only person I've seen get up there before the

559
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: draft in front of him, Mike can actually tell the truth.

560
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: It's Bruce Arius know it, Yes, it's BA. And what

561
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: did he say after the draft? He said, Well, everybody

562
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: thinks I'm lying exactly, so I guess the reverse engineer

563
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: and I use some reverse psychology and I told y'all

564
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: where we were going, and nobody believe me. Anyway, That's

565
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: exactly right. At this point in time, You've got to

566
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: consider this source, don't you be a Yeah? So, Polly,

567
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: I would you agree with Steve Kim in regard to

568
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: positions of need? Right there he mentions the edge, of course,

569
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: and slarner and wide receiver. Yeah, I think those are

570
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: positions of need. And I also will throw in defensive tackle,

571
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: especially when a guy that might be a little freaky,

572
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: maybe a Jordan Davis, there, maybe a DeVante. Why at, Paul,

573
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: you know either one of those guys. Honestly, you've got

574
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: a lot invested in Isaiah Simmons, do you not, Paul,

575
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: You've got a lot invested in Zaven Collins. Do you

576
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: double down right with Savan Collins the next year? Yes?

577
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: I mean you got to protect these guys and try

578
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: to keep them clean. Why. Because they can run. It's

579
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: one of the things that put them in the first round,

580
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why the Cardinals loved him. They

581
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: can run, they can cover, they can run with tight

582
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: ends down the seam, either one of them. They can

583
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: run with running backs, they can You've got to protect

584
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: those guys and let them run and let him make tackles.

585
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you if you want to believe anything about

586
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: the mock drafts, and okay, I don't say that lightly,

587
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: but there is one trend in all these mock drafts

588
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: that Baltimore supposedly allegedly cannot stay away from Jordan Davis.

589
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: That Jordan Davis is just a Baltimore Raven in the making.

590
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: And so if they go with Jordan Davis. Wolf you

591
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: might get your wish, you might get Davante Wyatt, he

592
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: might fall to number twenty three and the Arizona Cardinals.

593
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: But if Steve Kine was in the trust tree and

594
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: he had the lie detector on and he had to

595
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: answer that question honestly, truthfully, the top three positions of

596
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: need would be edge, edge, and edge. Because there's only

597
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: one position group on this team right now, Ron wolf

598
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: Lee where you can't go into week one and say,

599
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: all right, we have legitimate starters. You can't say that

600
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: at Edge you have Marcus Golden and a couple of backups.

601
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: You really don't have another starting, quality caliber Edge, and

602
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: that's something that's gonna have to be addressed. Whether it's

603
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: a free agency. Yeah, you know what, Paulie, You're right

604
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: about that. I think they could get an edge guy.

605
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: This draft is so deep if you listen to some

606
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: of the experts, paul you know me. I'm not one

607
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: of those draft expert guys. I really am not. And

608
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why is because a rookie you

609
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: got to prove it to me. I can't tell you

610
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: how many rookies I've seen. Oh my goodness, this guy

611
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: is gonna be a pro bowler. This guy is gonna

612
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: change the dynamic of our defense. He's gonna change our offense.

613
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: He's going to go. He's gonna be at all pro.

614
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many times I've heard this

615
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: about rookies, and yet they just couldn't play Paul, and

616
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: that was a problem right there. So I don't put

617
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: a ton of stock into it. I don't. But having

618
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: said that, Paul, this draft is supposedly very very deep

619
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: on the edge. Maybe there's a guy there at fifty five, Paul,

620
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: that you're gonna be able to get at fifty five

621
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: who could be a difference maker. I mean some of

622
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: those names, Nick Benito Oklahoma, Arnold Eba Katie from Penn State,

623
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: Boye Mothe from Minnesota, Josh Pascal Kentucky. Maybe Drake Jackson

624
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: USC didn't have a great workout so you know, or

625
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: or maybe the Cardinals trade up if one of those

626
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: elite pass rusher guys is within range. Because Steve Kim

627
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: was asked about whether he's placed or received any calls

628
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: on the trade front, Well, I've had some calls, you know,

629
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: guys that just want to let me know that Hey,

630
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: we're willing to move around. And then I've done the

631
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: same you know, guys that you generally talked to prior

632
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,719
Speaker 1: to the draft, and just let them know we're up

633
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: in for business. Well you like. For example, for example,

634
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: if you're thinking receiver, receiver, receiver, they're at twenty three,

635
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: and then look at four the five teams in front

636
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: of you. Those teams all supposedly our targeting receiver as well.

637
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: The Eagles, the Saints, the Packers, the Patriots all have

638
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: a serious dire need for receivers. So when he says, oh,

639
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: you know what, I've had some conversations maybe moving up

640
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: four or five spots. To me, that is directly in

641
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: consideration of those teams in front of him all may

642
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: take receiver and leave the Cardinals holding the bag. Yeah, Polli,

643
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: And once again, I don't know about you, but I've

644
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: heard from some of the draft experts that there could

645
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: be as many as seven wide receivers taken in the

646
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: first round. And if that in fact is the case, yeah,

647
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: maybe you do want to move up because you really

648
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: love somebody or you covet somebody, but there's supposedly a

649
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: drop off at that position after seven or eight receivers,

650
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be a considerable drop off, and maybe

651
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons why you would move up, Paul.

652
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe. I mean, you know, it's all part of

653
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: why the NFL Draft is so highly rated when it

654
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,959
Speaker 1: comes to the TV ratings, right, I mean, it's just

655
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: it's reality TV sports, it's the original reality TV. And

656
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: Steve Kim talked about Draft day and the potential for

657
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: a big deal. It's a fast moving process. Probably the

658
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: one thing in the draft that creates the most excitement

659
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: is whenever those trade conversations start, because the level of

660
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: excitement in the room sort of rises. But more than anything,

661
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: whether you agree with the trade chart or the points,

662
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: more than anything, to me, it's an instinctive thing. You

663
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: got to feel good about what you're doing, and as

664
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: long as you trust, you got I think you're being

665
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: a good position So well, which position group would you

666
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: feel more comfortable target in round two? Meaning would you

667
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: go edge in round one or receiver in round two

668
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,720
Speaker 1: or vice versa? Or are you thinking a different position

669
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 1: group altogether? Probably? I'm just I mean, honestly, right now, everybody,

670
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 1: everybody that I've talked to, everybody that I've read everybody

671
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: that I truly respect about this. They talk about how

672
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: deep the edge is the edge, And if you're really

673
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: serious about that, hey, listen, maybe you could get a

674
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: wide receiver bully at number twenty three. Maybe you could

675
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: get one of those wide receivers at number twenty three

676
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: and still get an edge guy at number fifty five.

677
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: That to me, how do you see it? Paul? Yeah,

678
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: you know, Steve Coome has never drafted a receiver in

679
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: round one, and the Cardinal's recent track record with a

680
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: lot of receivers in the draft not robust, to be sure.

681
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: And honestly, I'm the guy who the last three years said,

682
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: check the hit rate for the position group that fare

683
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: the worst in round one, and it's been receiver. Yeah,

684
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: but I think this is the exception to your point.

685
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: Seven receivers could go on round one and that would

686
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: match the all time record, which by the way, was

687
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,720
Speaker 1: two thousand and four when Larry Fitzgerald was the first

688
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: receiver off the board in number three. Overall, I get it.

689
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: And after we's all witnessed what happened to the Cardinals

690
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: offense minus d Hop last year, Yeah, that sort of

691
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 1: reinforces the need for this team. Yeah, you know what,

692
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: It's so interesting, though, what do you do? Do you

693
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: go get a guy like a Jamison Williams? Do you

694
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: go get that guy who can change the dynamic of

695
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: a defense because he can run by so many guys?

696
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,879
Speaker 1: Do you try to find a run by guy even

697
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: though Jamison Williams. Don't get sidetracked with the fact that

698
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: he might not he might not be able to play

699
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,760
Speaker 1: until like November. But I'm talking about a speed guy.

700
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,760
Speaker 1: Maybe you are you going to draft a speed guy, Paul,

701
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: or are you gonna draft a guy that like a

702
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:15,240
Speaker 1: Drake London from usc that could totally make a difference

703
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: a great I think he's a bigger version of d Hop.

704
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: I mean he catches so many contested balls, Paul, His

705
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,919
Speaker 1: hands are huge. I think Drake London is a guy

706
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: that man, if he were there at number twenty three, well,

707
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: I don't know. You gotta start, Drooland, don't you. Are

708
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: you concerned though, that Drake London won't run the forty

709
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: because you know a lot of comparisons to Mike Evans,

710
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 1: But Mike Evans went out there and ran a four

711
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: or five something at his size. Yeah, and I think

712
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: most people think he'd run a four or five Paul,

713
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: he'd run a four or five five Drake London, Okay,

714
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: I just get a little word that at his size,

715
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: will he be able to get separation? And I know

716
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,439
Speaker 1: how strong he is, you know, and contested catches, Oh yeah,

717
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: you know, play strength. I can get it. And Trason

718
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: sighted that as well. It's kind of like d Hop

719
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: I mean, d Hop is not a run by guy.

720
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: He just isn't. How many contested passes do you see

721
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins patch all the time? And Drake London just

722
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 1: like that. To address your original question, what sort of

723
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: receiver would you go out? You know a lot of

724
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: receiver coaches and offensive coordinators want a receiver room that

725
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: looks like a basketball team. You want one of every

726
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: sort of position. Right. You want the smaller, quick guy

727
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 1: in the slot, and you want the big guy on

728
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: the outside that would be your five, right, I mean

729
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: you want the different size guys. So that being the case,

730
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: you can give me Treylon Burks and hashtag who wants

731
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: something and we're just going I mean absolutely And by

732
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: the way, for more on everything related to the draft,

733
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: you got to hit up the Dave Pash Podcast. This

734
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: week's guest about NFL Network Draft analyst Extraordinary Daniel Jeremiah

735
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts and you can follow me

736
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: a Twitter at pashpod. Will continue to talk about the Cardinals,

737
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: recap what AJ Green had to say, and see flight

738
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: Plan next on the Big Red Rage. You got to

739
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: play your best football at the most important times of

740
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 1: the year, and I obviously don't think that we did that.

741
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: I hope it's motivation for every single guy on the

742
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 1: team to do everything in their power to make sure

743
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: that we're not in a situation like that again the

744
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 1: back half of the season and then specifically what happened

745
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. So if you can't look at that

746
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 1: game and you can't walk out of that stadium feeling

747
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: motivation and wanting to work harder and wanting to be

748
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 1: better and wanting to do everything that you can, probably

749
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: in the wrong business. J J. Water earlier this week

750
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: and what Bye had asked him, I just said, was

751
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: there a lesson learned from the way last season ended?

752
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: It is? So what that was his response, which just

753
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: the look on his face, the manner in which he

754
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: delivered that, you can sense that it's still raw with

755
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: a lot of guys the way last season ended, losing

756
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: five of your final six. You heard what Aj Green

757
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: said earlier in this edition of The Big Red Rage

758
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. I asked him, how

759
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: much do you think the offense left out there at

760
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: the end of last season? He said a lot, he said.

761
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: I gotta be better, he said, I said, why do

762
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 1: you diagnose the problem? And Aj Green was pretty fourth right.

763
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: He said, quote, you know, the leadership of the team

764
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: tailed awful little bit. We got to hone in on

765
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: the details. Yeah, so you're just hopeful that they tried

766
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: to figure out that they have successfully figured out and

767
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 1: deciphered what went wrong at the end of the season

768
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,399
Speaker 1: for a second straight season, and if they have. Going

769
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: full circle here, it gets back to your point. Wolf.

770
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: Now you see the rhyme and reason why they're bringing

771
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: back the core players. Yeah, no doubt about it. Paully.

772
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 1: You know, once again, it's so important for people that

773
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: are listening right now to understand the mentality of a

774
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: football player is not that of a front runner poem.

775
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 1: It's not. It's a guy that knows how to finish

776
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: above all else, a guy that knows how to finish.

777
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: A I that knows the task ad hand is never

778
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: good unless you finish and finish strong, Polly. I can't

779
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 1: tell you how many coaches will scream out, You'll hear

780
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 1: it on the field right all the time, finish, finish

781
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: right there screaming finish. Why they're trying to get that

782
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: into the head of some player out there on the field,

783
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: whatever it may be, to finish strong Polly is a player.

784
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: You're looking to do that individually, and you're looking to

785
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: do that collectively. And that's why the look on JJ

786
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: Watt's face when you ask him that question, that's why

787
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: it drooped. I'm sure because there's nothing worse for an individual,

788
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 1: for a football player, and for a football team than

789
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 1: not being able to finish Andy her guys take accountability.

790
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 1: AJ Greenden today in that interview, right you know, asked him,

791
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: was it fair to say you weren't always on the

792
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: same page with Kyler? Murray said absolutely fair. He said

793
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: I felt the same way. He said, I need to

794
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: go to him more often. I need to communicate with

795
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: him more. He's not a guy who's going to get

796
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 1: in your faces off, and I need to get in

797
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: his face and make him talk to me, you know,

798
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: make him tell me how I can be better. So

799
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: it's interesting if that's part of the plan and then

800
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: you hit zoom out and Michael Bidwell. This week, it

801
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: was just released season five, episode one of Cardinals Flight Plan.

802
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: This is all access behind the scenes available now in

803
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: the Cardinal's YouTube channel YouTube dot com. Slash Azy Cardinals

804
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 1: and the team owner talking about the strategy in free agency.

805
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: If you look at the last five seasons, about two

806
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: thirds of the free agents that went to a different

807
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,280
Speaker 1: team and were paid more than ten million dollars played

808
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 1: less than seventy five percent playtime. Many were not starters,

809
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: most of them didn't go to the Pro Bowl. Just

810
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,280
Speaker 1: because you spend a lot of money in free agency

811
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you get the greatest players out there. And frankly,

812
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: when I look back at Steve's success, Steve has had

813
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,760
Speaker 1: great success signing players that people have sort of forgotten

814
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: about a little bit after the draft. There are a

815
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: lot of great players out there. Being aggressive also means

816
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: being patient and taking the risk that great players are

817
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: going to be out there and having the confidence we'll

818
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: be able to sign them at the right time. Cardinal's

819
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: flight plan. Michael Bidwell and Steve Kime said it today. Well,

820
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: if he said the disadvantage and free agency is you

821
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: don't know the person. You can see the player on film,

822
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: you don't know the person. It's not like the draft

823
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: where you go to the combine you can interview him,

824
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: you can have one of these thirty visits. You know,

825
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: it's not the same that when free agency opens, you

826
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: don't have that ability to get to know the person.

827
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: And the immediate guy you think of most recently was

828
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips and how that did not work. No, you're

829
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: right about that, Polly. You know, once again, I'm sorry,

830
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 1: but the Cardinals were really aggressive last year in free agency.

831
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: We know that last off season, and this year not

832
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:52,240
Speaker 1: so much according to other people. But again I think Polly,

833
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: that is by design. I think they looked at the

834
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: fact they were ten intwo and what made him ten intwo.

835
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,720
Speaker 1: I go back to the five games that were played

836
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: with Max Williams, with Max Williams as a tight end,

837
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden, you're gonna bring zach

838
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: Ertz into that as well, Paullie. You put Max Williams

839
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,760
Speaker 1: and zach Ertz on the field in rundown situation first

840
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: and ten second and one to six. There's gonna be

841
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: problems with James Connor as you're running back, and DeAndre Hopkins,

842
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 1: and who knows on the other side. Maybe it's Rondel Moore,

843
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 1: maybe it's Aj Green, maybe it's somebody else they go

844
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:37,839
Speaker 1: out and get. But that could be real problems. It's undeniable.

845
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: The Arizona Cardinals were seven and ozho and they were

846
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: ten and two Paul and right now this free agent

847
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: period so far, Steve Kim and the Arizona Cardinals said

848
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: that was real, and we're gonna go out and try

849
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: to replicate it again. And you know, James Connor was

850
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: banged up at the end. I think you only played

851
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: two full games, was zach Ertz. So you get those

852
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: two together. You had Max Williams And for example, you

853
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: go through the draft and all of a sudden, or

854
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: maybe right before the draft, the Cardinals signed a veteran

855
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: edge rusher. Maybe they get a Jadeveon Clowney, maybe they

856
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 1: get a Carlos Dunlap of Melvin ingram On a one

857
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: year deal. Sting that John Abraham Twight Freeney type thing,

858
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 1: and that that does change the outlook of what they've

859
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: done in free agency to a significant degree, does it not? Well,

860
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: it does, especially when you look at the fact that

861
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 1: the Cardinals were number five in sacks per attempt the

862
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: year Chandler Jones didn't play but five games. He had

863
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 1: one sack in those five games, and the Cardinals overall

864
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: there were number five in sacks per a time because

865
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:39,200
