13
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: It comes to regular season NFL football games, It doesn't

14
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: get any better than last Sunday in Chicago. For one.

15
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley, you got that right, Polly. Let us count

16
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 1: the ways here, Bolf, Okay, you stop me when I'm wrong.

17
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: One the conditions, Yeah, wet Cole Windy, did I mention wet?

18
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: We're going to put that in the plus column. Long

19
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: slick grass right late, erasing a lot of that athleticism,

20
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: as you say, bringing everyone down to the level of

21
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: a wedgebusting fullback. Right, that's exactly right, boy, And never

22
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: forget this the blurt badge, of course, Paul. You know,

23
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: one part blood, two parts dirt. You mix it for

24
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: thirty seconds and let it stand on your jersey. Speaking

25
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: of two number two, you got to watch Jordan Hicks

26
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: do his Dick Bukus, Mike Singletary, Bryan or Lacker impression

27
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: at Soldier Field, your NFC defensive Player of the week.

28
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: Thirteen tackles, two sacks. Two tack was for loss number three.

29
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: And I might be burying the lead here play calling

30
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: thirty five runs versus a paltry fifteen passes. That was

31
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: a beautiful thing right there, Pauly, honestly, right now, are

32
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: you kidding me? We can be whatever we need to

33
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: be to win on that day, That's all I could

34
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: think of. Cliff Kingsbury said, that's the fewest attempted passes

35
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: by any game he's been involved in since flag football

36
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: in sixth grade. And he didn't crack a smile. I

37
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: think he was serious. And then and then, and this

38
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: might be in reverse order of importance, speaking to the

39
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: play caller. There he was when he was dialing up

40
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: all those runs and shunning the pass while, by the way,

41
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: wearing a hat with nineteen twenty on it. How fitting

42
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: was that, because that's where the game plan was circa

43
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty. While he was doing all that in the

44
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, he was spitting up blood as he was

45
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: spitting out the play calls. Honestly, right now, Pauly, I

46
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: just think that image right there, it's something I'm not

47
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: going to forget at anytime soon. I know you're not

48
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: going to either. Just the entire reputation of Cliff Kingsbury.

49
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: And then you go ahead and you juxtapose exactly what

50
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: you just said right there in this gloomy, rainy, drizzly,

51
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: freezing dirty day in Chicago, Illinois at Soldier Field, and

52
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you've got your coach out

53
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: there and he's looking dogged. He's looking like a guy

54
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: that is out there in the rain, he's all wet,

55
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: and he's spitting blood. It doesn't get much better than that, Paul.

56
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, so you can take your marquee Monday

57
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: night football matchup in the bright lights and the prime

58
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: time and the perfect field conditions and the climate control,

59
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: and it won't compare at least for Wolf to last.

60
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: Sunday in Chicago is our point as we start the

61
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage featuring DJ Humphries tonight. How good does

62
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: it sound right when we say DJ Humphries is back

63
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: in the Big Red Rage where he belongs. How about that?

64
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: It's fantastic, Pouli, It really is. He's one of my

65
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: favorite it's in the thing that makes him one of

66
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: my favorites is he plays the game the way that

67
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: it should be played. It doesn't mean he goes out

68
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: and he's perfect. It doesn't mean that he never gets beat.

69
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that he's always doing his job. It

70
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: just means you better believe he's brawling you all the

71
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: way down to the grass. That's what he is. He's

72
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: a dog through and through. One of my favorite players.

73
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: By the way, remind me to ask him. It was

74
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: a moment in the second half and he got dinged

75
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: up a little bit, a little bit, and he was

76
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: slow getting up and he came to the sideline and

77
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: they actually called a time out so he didn't miss

78
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: a snap. And I think that was at the best

79
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: of his quarterback. I don't think Kyler Murray had any

80
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: interest in taking a single snap minus his franchise left

81
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: tackle Dj Humphreys. I'm gonna ask Dj about that right

82
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: after we hear from Kyler Murray on his return and

83
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: what he told Fox Sports on the field after the

84
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: win in Chicago. I was a little rusty, you know,

85
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: obviously the weather conditions, you know, didn't really help as much.

86
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: But proud of the team. Nfel good to be back

87
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: with these guys, offensive, defensive, special teams and collective. You know,

88
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: we'll play compl Murry football. And it was, like I said,

89
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: it was going to be back. So we had two

90
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns, he had two rushing touchdowns. And this is

91
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: the most ridiculous stat to me, eleven completions in his

92
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: fifteen attempts to eight different receivers. Unbelievable. Polly still spreading

93
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: the ball, and that is a common theme. We have

94
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: seen that all season long, that Kyler Murray was going

95
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: to go out and spread the ball. It was something

96
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: we were really talking about early in the season in

97
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: the first half of the season, the way Kyler Murray

98
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: went out and spread the ball even in that cold,

99
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: drizzly day at Soldier Field. To your point, eleven passes

100
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: completed to eight different guys. Man, I listen, you know

101
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: what I also love Polly. Just listen to the tone

102
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: in his voice after the game when talking about the game.

103
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: Is he down in the dumps that he only got

104
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty three yards passing? Is he down

105
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: in the dumps that he only completed eleven passes? Man,

106
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: he's happy, he's content. It's all about winning with Kyler Murray.

107
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: And that's what I love and appreciate about the kid.

108
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: You're talking about a guy who right now leads the

109
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: NFL in completion percentage and passer rating well, and you

110
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: still have to worry about his legs. In fact, Cliff Kingsbury,

111
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: just because Wolf did we not site during the radio broadcast, Like, man,

112
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: he's got some acceleration. Those legs do look fresh. And

113
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: here's what Cliff Kingsbury said about that. When he's feeling

114
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: it like that and using those legs, I mean, I

115
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: think he's the most dangerous weapon in the NFL. And

116
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: we's got to get him back comfortable, get him back

117
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: in a rhythm and get a try and play at

118
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: really high, high level of the remainder of the season.

119
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: The most dangerous weapon in the NFL period. That's what

120
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury told us in the postgame radio interview after

121
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and the Cardinals went out fifth straight game

122
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: on the road, by the way, no turnovers, Yeah, Polly,

123
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: no turnovers. That is just unthinkable to me. Five straight

124
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: games on the road. You do not turn the ball

125
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: or Polly, You're you're not going to lose a lot

126
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: of games when you've got Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins, when

127
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: you have the talent the Arizona Cardinals have. If you

128
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: had to look at one stat if they don't turn

129
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: the ball over, they're not going to lose a lot

130
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: of games. That's that's not going to happen. And I

131
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: just want to say this about Kyler Murray as well.

132
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: You were talking about the highest completion percentage in the

133
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: National Football League, the highest passer rating quarterback ratings is

134
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: what I call it in the National Football League. But

135
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: you know what else, he's got the best yards per

136
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: attempt in the National Football League. Is that a big deal? Seriously?

137
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: Is that a big deal to you? Yes, it is

138
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: a big deal because he's got the highest completion percentage

139
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: and yet he's throwing the ball. It is yards per attempt.

140
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: It means he's pushing the ball down the field. He's

141
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: not just thinking and dunk in his way. It matters

142
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: to me, Yes, you're right when you pair those two together, Yes,

143
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,239
Speaker 1: that is significant. The highest completion percentage and the highest

144
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: yards per attempt correct, I mean Paulli. It just it

145
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: speaks so much to who Kyle La Murray is. And

146
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: and once again, the development of this young man into

147
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback where we have seen him beat teams

148
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: with his brain, not just his legs, not just his arm,

149
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: his brain. We've seen it, We've witnessed it, and he's

150
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: only developing and growing and getting better. Don't make me

151
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: say it again. Come for the arms, stay for the legs.

152
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: Fear the mind is where Kyler Murray is right now.

153
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: He met the media today, and you know what, there

154
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: is one box left to check. The Arizona Cardinals are

155
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: ten and two on the season. They are seven and

156
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: o on the road, they are four and oh in

157
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: the division, but they are just three and two at home.

158
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: Here's Kyler. I think that has to be you know

159
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: different than it has been. But you know, you look

160
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: at our record underfield the road, three and two at home.

161
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: Closer games have been at home, starts slow at home. Yeah,

162
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things we talked about at home

163
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: that we don't do on the road. So I think we,

164
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: like you said, we got to somehow bring that type

165
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: of energy. It's got to be different because what we've

166
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: been doing hasn't a working. Every player this week has

167
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: brought up the home record and I'm guessing that's because

168
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: the head coach has brought up the home record and

169
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: some lackluster performances. Yeah, we know there's something wrong there.

170
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: We know there's no denying it. You play so much

171
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: better on the road than you play at home. Each

172
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: player's got to look inside of himself and say, why

173
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: is that? For me? Paul, I think it's because they

174
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: have so much talent. They have so much talent on

175
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: this team. I've talked about it many many times, and

176
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: I think a lot of times when you're at home,

177
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: it says, man, we're really talented, we're really good. We're

178
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: sitting here at ten and two. All is well, All

179
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: is well. You don't have to go out there and

180
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: be desperate to get away, right, Paul all Is well,

181
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: I think I think again, Roy Green did not have

182
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: to be He did not have to be prepared to

183
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: do his job the way I had to be prepared

184
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: to do my job. Because Roy was so talented. He

185
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: could be laughing at you as he ran by you

186
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: for the third time that day, scoring yet another touchdown.

187
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: That was how good he was. But again, I think

188
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: they have to be intentional about it. And that's why

189
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: I like what Kyler Murray just said. We've got He's

190
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: acknowledging the fact that there's a problem. Now all of

191
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 1: a sudden, you have the opportunity to overcome that problem.

192
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: We'll see if DJ Humphreys has a theory, right. I mean,

193
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: he's very by his own admission, you know, he's great

194
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: at the power of observations. So we'll see if maybe

195
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: he's gleaned something about the Cardinals at home. He is

210
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: of the pocket, rolling right, being chased, he talks. He

211
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: runs at the five and he heads to the corner

212
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: and he's into the end zone. Four the touchdown. Kyler back,

213

Speaker 1: James Connor stabbing a ball that was an errand pass.

217
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: It looked like it was going to go over his head.

218
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: He grabbed it with his left hand and then he

219
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: ran down the right sideline into the end zone for

220
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,079

Speaker 1: four his second rushing touchdown, and the Cardinals just put

224
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: the Bears away. You know what's complimentary football, Ron Wolfley,

225
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: when your defense has four takeaways and that results in

226
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: three touchdowns and a field goal. And it gets even

227
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: better because if you take those drives and the three

228
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: touchdowns in a field goal, it was a total yardage

229
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: of seventy six yards to go ahead and accomplish the

230
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: three touchdowns and the field goal by a Cardinals offense,

231
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: though right now, is the number three scoring offense in

232
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: the NFL Top ten and total offense top ten and

233
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: rushing and number two in rushing touchdowns. And I know

234
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: someone who likes the sound of that stat The longest

244
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like, if you've been a fan,

245
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: or if you've been around for a while, we deserve

246
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: we deserve this one. What's most gratifying about it When

247
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: you say been around a while, do you go back

248
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: to some of those early years, you know, your first

249
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: few years in the league. Is that what you think

250
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: of automatically? Yeah, I think I think of when I

251
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: came into the league, you know, going to the NFC

252
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: Championship as a rookie and not playing. It made me

253
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: feel like, yeah, this is like what you do. Like

254
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: you can just go to the playoffs and like every

255
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: year you have a chance to win the Super Bowl.

256
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: So like I was fooled to think that that's just

257
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: what happens and it doesn't take hard work and it

258
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: doesn't take building and stuff like that. So to be

259
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: here at this point where where we have we're two

260
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: to two and we have so much, you know, then

261
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: we have everything that we want is right in front

262
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 1: of us. It feels good to be have been here

263
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: over the last few years and seeing what things, how

264
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: we evolved in what we are now. DJ, you got

265
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: bumped up, nicked up a little bit. I'm sure you

266
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: got nicked up before earlier in the season. You're never

267
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: feeling like you're one hundred percent at this point of

268
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: the season. But how does the body feel overall here

269
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: in December? You know, it's funny, my body feels really good.

270
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: I joke around. I took you a lot of times that, man,

271
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: I really see twenty seven. Now, how old are you? Well,

272
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: so you feel that was that? Now I'm a football player.

273
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: You know we had a dog year, So that's a

274
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: good point. It's right now. You know, hey, when you

275
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: got when you were a little slow to get up

276
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: and you came to the sideline, Cliff Kingsbury called a

277
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: time out. And this is just my observation. Now, you're

278
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: the expert at the power of observation, Dee, and you

279
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: talk about your powers are going to Walmart and so forth,

280
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: and people watching, But but this is just me. It

281
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: didn't look like your quarterback wanted any part of the

282
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: even a single snap without his franchise left tackle. That

283
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: was my take. What do you think, hey, you said that,

284
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: not me. Remember remember that Polly said that it wasn't

285
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: me that said that. Which part are you talking about?

286
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: The Walmart part or the part of my bag the quarterback?

287
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: But the Walmart was all me I take. By the way,

288
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: speaking of shopping, uh, you know we buried the lead here.

289
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: What do the kids want? I mean, come on, what

290
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: do the kids want? What are you shopping for? What's

291
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: the big item for the kids this holiday season? They're

292
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: both getting cold, both of them getting cold, But not

293
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: because that not because they've been bad. Just sold them

294
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: because I'm not getting them anything for Christmas. There they

295
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: just they need. I may take them somewhere and we

296
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: give back to something for Christmas. No, I'm kidding now,

297
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: I'll probably get them something. I know. My daughter and

298
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: my son both they've been they've been on my head

299
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: about a place set they want to play. Oh yeah,

300
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: something that you could join in on right home plat

301
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: maybe a little break out. I don't know. Does it

302
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: does it support a three hundred pounder? Yeah? Yeah, better.

303
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: That's the only way I can get in my backyard.

304
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: If it's supports, if it's old live friendly, that's only

305
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: way I can make it in my backyard. Listen, guy's

306
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: got to be able to turning out the slide team. Now, Yeah,

307
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: talk to me about your season personally. I'm talking about

308
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: not the team, not the unit. I'm talking about you

309
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: personally right now. How is the season going for you?

310
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: How are you developing, how are you growing? How are

311
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: you getting better? I feel like it's it's been, Uh,

312
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: it's been going pretty good for mans. I feel like

313
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: I had some els and flows earlier on, just kind

314
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: of trying to get my foot in under myself and

315
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: trying to feel things out. But none of the things

316
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: I've been kind of going on, I feel like I've

317
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: been getting better and better every week. I feel like

318
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: I've been getting better and better every week and every

319
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: week and finding something my technique is is sinking in

320
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: and it's feeling it's feeling like myself more and more

321
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: every week. And I feel like that's a good feeling

322
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: with the jiujectory that we're going at, you know what

323
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: I mean, Still being able to go out to get

324
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: these wins and play and play well and still feel

325
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: like I can approve, I can improve and there's more

326
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: that I can be doing and I can be doing better.

327
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: I feel like that's a good that's a good sign

328
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: for for what we're going as a team. I mean,

329
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: there have been eight different starting old line combinations, but

330
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: you have been the rock. You have been the constant.

331
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: I mean that's pretty impressive, right, I mean, you guys

332
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: have a deep old line room. When you've been able

333
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: to change parts out and boom, this team is still

334
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: ten and two. Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's it's unlike

335
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: anything I've ever been a part of UM. I think

336
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: anybody that's a fan out of the Cardinals or a a

337
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: better part of this organization. You know, Historically, when we

338
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: lose key pieces of our offensive line, that's usually the

339
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: turning point of our season. And that's been the case

340
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 1: every year that I've been here. I would say I

341
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: think that every year where we've had major injuries go on,

342
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: or guys miss a lot of time up front, or

343
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: even even key players aside from the offensive line, we've

344
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: we've that's been kind of the turning point in our season.

345
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: And for us to have that go on so many

346
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: different times and so many different ways and wrinkles and

347
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: still be able to be on this side of to

348
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,719
Speaker 1: be on this side of the standing in the NFL.

349
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: It's definitely a testament to what's been going on. And

350
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: I did hump you are the number two run rate

351
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: team in the National Football League. I just by the way,

352
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: wolf one, I confirm that. I didn't believe you. So

353
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: I actually confirm that with Cardinals media relations that the

354
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: run rate percentage for the Arizona Cardinals is number two

355
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL. That's just a mind blow. What do

356
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: you think about that day? Would I say that, man,

357
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: you're number two? So much for the pretty boy football.

358
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I was just about to say. I

359
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: was saying, many ball right, Yeah, but did you take

360
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: that to heart? Did you guys take that to heart?

361
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: How proud are you on the offensive line, man, that

362
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: you are the number two run rate team in the

363
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: NFL coming off the ball with a dark heart? I

364
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: have to take take that. I think that's a big deal.

365
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: That's something that's very important to me. Uh, running that ball, man,

366
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: it changes the game. It's something that I didn't really

367
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: understand as young player, like you know, and just kind

368
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 1: of like just called the plays and we just run

369
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: the plays. You know, That's how it was like now

370
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: kind of learning the game and learning how players change

371
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: and how how running the ball and deter guys from

372
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: one to even be involved in the game. Like, it's crazy,

373
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: how how big of a difference maker it is what

374
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: we're doing it, and we're doing it high efficiency. So, uh,

375
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: to even hear those numbers again is news? Tobody Well

376
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,479
Speaker 1: speaking a run game and difference maker and numbers. How

377
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: about James Connor fourteen total touchdowns, a dozen rushing touchdowns

378
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: what he calls bowling ball. I know what, you guys

379
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: embrace up front and and then you had to catching

380
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: the run, the one ended grab and uh. We asked

381
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,479
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury about that after the game, and here's what

382
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: he said about James Connor. That's got to be Sports

383
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: Center Player of the Week, right, that was unbelievable. Catches

384
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: in one hand, he breaks a tack on then goes

385
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. Me and I had to run down

386
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: there and get my hug because I'm like, that is insane.

387
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,239
Speaker 1: You know, a third down too. So he's been just

388
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: a god send for us, especially with Chase out being

389
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 1: able to shoulder the load like he has offensively. He

390
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: just continues to get better and better. We see James Connor,

391
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: what don't we see what don't we hear in the

392
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: huddle and on the sideline, Because I mean he said,

393
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: you know what, if my mindset is contagious, so be it.

394
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: But from what I could tell, guys really feed off him. Man,

395
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 1: it's it's it's one of those things that it's hard

396
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: not to feed off of. Like he gets in this

397
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: mold where he gets just looks on his face and

398
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: you could tell he just wants to just just run

399
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: his face into somebody else's Like it's the craziest thing.

400
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: But it's one of those things that, like you said,

401
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: like it's in Faci's in the hoddle. Like when I

402
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: see him get like that, like it turns it gets

403
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: me so turned up. And I can see it happened

404
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: to everybody else. I've seen Kyla. He's still on the

405
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: he's still on the guard of the sideline. I just

406
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: seen Kyla like get like like like bustle up on.

407
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: I guess he's dropping into the line. I'm like, yeah,

408
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: this is this is like, this is what ball is about.

409
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: This is you running the ball so hard you get

410
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: you get your quarterback involved, and you get him excited.

411
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: That's a big deal. You know. So James has been man,

412
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: he's been a load for us. Man that I watched

413
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: that joker still for him, a guy so hard. And

414
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: then I looked up and I started He was a

415
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: sixty five or two hundred and sixty pounds a end

416
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: and I was like, this is this isn't normal? Set

417
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: were running the middle back? Does it listen? Does it

418
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: do anything to you? Guys on the offensive line? We've

419
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 1: talked about this in the past, but I mean, to

420
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: what degree does it get you even more locked in,

421
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: even more focused, even more ferocious coming off the ball

422
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 1: when you got James Connor behind you? Doesn't do anything

423
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: to you? Add all? Or is that just gonna be

424
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: the way you're always approaching? Yeah? You know, you know me,

425
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: I pretty much I get I run that ball. Every

426
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: time we running the ball. I get out there and

427
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: now I feel like, you know, the ball coming behind me.

428
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if I'm on the backside or not.

429
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: So I'm going crazy. But when you're getting a play,

430
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: when you get a guy like James and you run,

431
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: I run a toss with him, or I should say

432
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: a power pretty much a tackle power with him, and

433
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: he's I could feel him grabbing the back of my jersey.

434
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: Guy to my block in high school. Again, it definitely

435
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: does something like it definitely gets you, gets your skin,

436
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: the skin rolls in a little bit and gets you,

437
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: gets you fired up. So that's what that's what I

438
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: said about about that guy. It's like, I'm using one

439
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: of those guys as a self starter and he gets

440
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: me fired up. Yes, hump. I mean, this is the

441
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: one thing I gotta tell you, honestly, because I was

442
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: I was in the NFL only because I was able

443
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: to manufacture desperation, right yeah, and yet I blocked for

444
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: Jerome Battis I blocked for Jerome Battis Man, And when

445
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: I knew Jerome was in the eye behind me, it

446
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: focused me even more, even more than I thought I

447
00:22:55,560 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 1: could be focused. For that very reason, I can tell

448
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: you they say selling you know, and we're on board

449
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: with DJ Humphreys here. It's all about you, brought to

450
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: you by Santan Ford. You mentioned that at some points

451
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: in some games, defensive fronts were like you know what

452
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm done, you know we're and think about it. There

453
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: have been games where you guys have finished off with

454
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: long drives put where you've held time and possession and

455
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: you've run the ball primarily, So without naming names, there's

456
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: definitely been some defenses have been like you know enough

457
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: no Moss. Yeah, there's definitely it's definitely been some guys

458
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: that are hunt it up a lot, a lot, And

459
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: it's it's something that I that we kind of hang

460
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: our head on it. We really we really enjoy it,

461
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, seeing guys come out of

462
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: being being who they are, who they are portrayed to

463
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: be to start the game and then Washington end and

464
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: the game, seeing them not wanting to possible we're trying

465
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: to put out there, Well, think about it. The Cardinals

466
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: are trying to sweep in La Rams team they dismantled

467
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: in week four, thirty seven twenty. It wasn't even that close.

468
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: And Wolf, we all remember that game ceiling drive, a

469
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: dozen plays, eleven runs and a Matt Prater field goal.

470
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, in fact us right here, twelve plays,

471
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: ninety four yards, eleven runs and then the field goal.

472
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: It took eight and a half minutes off the clock.

473
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: And that is not the first and probably won't be

474
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: the last time the Cardinals have done that this year.

Speaker 1: winning is it almost turns into a club in there. Man.

517
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,280

00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: right out of the game to old school right before

521
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: we head out to the buses. Man's it's a fun time.

522
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: I can't even sit here in a lot to you, like,

523
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: it's not. We have so much fun on that bus,

524
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: you know what. Sorry, d I'd like to ask you personally.

525
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: I'd like to ask you personally if if you feel

526
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: the outside noise, And I'd also like to ask you

527
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: collectively if you guys are aware of the outside noise

528
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: one way or the other, good or bad. How much

529
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: are you guys listening to that. I'm gonna be honest

530
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: with you. I'm a big Netflix guy, So I always

531
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: missed the like news people talking about us on TV. Okay,

532
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: so always because I'm pretty much I'm only on like

533
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: Netflix and Amazon and stuff like that. Most part I'm

534
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: not watching cable, so I usually miss it. So it

535
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: really doesn't matter to you personally, Yeah, it really don't.

536
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: It really don't catch me. It really don't catch me much, honestly, Um,

537
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: I know it's just something I never my dad like

538
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: kind of treating me into that when I was young

539
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: and they coming up started playing sports. I just never

540
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: really like watched it, like would paid attention to what

541
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: they were saying about us or anything that. Like, I

542
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: just never even watched it, So I never really got

543
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: into doing it or even sitting down watching it. I'm

544
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: one of the guys that don't sit down and watch

545
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: ESPN all day. I'm not even gonna sit there a

546
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: lot like I do. How about how watch the TV

547
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: show though in a heartbeat? And I'll tell you what,

548
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: you know what, you're probably better off for that, just

549
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: your own mental health. There's no doubt about it. And

550
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: and you know what, there's a lot of shall we say,

551
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: misinformation slash ignorance. I think about this team still in

552
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: a lot of ways. We don't get into all of it,

553
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: but I think it's important because on Monday night, everyone's

554
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: gonna go to look for the second time. The last

555
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: time they saw the Arizona Cardinals the only time in

556
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: national TV, was against Green Bay and it didn't go

557
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: to the Cardinals way. So now it's Monday night, and

558
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: and you know, Kyler said today that something has to

559
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: change when it comes to home games. How would you

560
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: diagnose the three and two home record? And more importantly,

561
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: when Cliff Kingsbury says, you know what, the energy isn't

562
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: quite the same at home like it's been on the road,

563
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: I think he's not. He's not. He's not saying it wrong.

564
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: I think that's a fact. It's not the same. Um.

565
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: I think that that's we're actively trying to figure that out.

566
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: And I think that's the that's a big thing getting

567
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: started fast and getting that same vibe recreated in that

568
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: locker room. It's kind of what we're trying to We're

569
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: trying to find that that sweet spot for us, and

570
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: I think we're going to We just have to keep

571
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: what you have to see. We don't have a choice. Honestly,

572
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: you got to keep focused on and figuring out that

573
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: way to get it done because they're gonna keep coming.

574
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: Do you think other guys in that locker room collectively,

575
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: do you think they're paying a lot of attention to it?

576
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: To you guys talk about it, what people are saying.

577
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: I don't about you. You don't think so. Yeah, I

578
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: honestly don't think so. Um. I just don't get that vibe.

579
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: And we have a young, a younger team, you know,

580
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: like it's not as old as it was fifteen I

581
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: would say, um, And I still feel like guys are

582
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: not as dialed into the outside world as as I

583
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: thought they would be. Well after the game, Zach Allen

584
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: after his unbelievable one handed interception, right, and he's been

585
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: playing some ball man the last six games and afterwards.

586
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: IM right, Just in terms of your own team, your

587
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: own locker room, and the confidence level, where does it

588
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,479
Speaker 1: stand right now? Zach? It's hard not to have confidence,

589
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: especially when you're on the field and you look at

590
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: the guys that you're playing with, I mean across every

591
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: single position you have, you know, pro bowled caliber studs,

592
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: all pros, whatever it is, future Hall of famers. So,

593
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,239
Speaker 1: I mean, this is definitely the most fun I've had.

594
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: I know for a lot of guys, you'll get that

595
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: same answer. So, you know, the cool thing is that

596
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: we can be so much better. I think. So we

597
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: still have yet to play a complete perfect game, and

598
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: you know that's what we're striving for and I think

599
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: you know, we're not too too far away from that. Yeah,

600
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: that's what you guys are chasing, right, I mean that

601
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: self motivation is a team DJ. Right. You guys are

602
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: still searching that complete game from start to finish. Yeah,

603
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: I think I think that's that's the exact hitting right

604
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: on the head. It's like, it's it's one of those

605
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: things that makes me so optimistic because we the win

606
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: games that we do all the stuff that people are

607
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: excited about it, and we're watching the film with our

608
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: head down because it's like, hey, we left this out there,

609
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: we left this arder, we could have hit this, and

610
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: that's the thing. It's like, we still haven't played the

611
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: game that we want to play yet, and we looked

612
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: up when we're still tended too. So it's it's we

613
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: just got to keep that same mentality of trying to

614
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: get a week better and trying to be better than

615
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: we would today before and just staying focused in that light.

616
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: And I think it's it's gonna be nothing but but

617
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: greatness for us if we can do that hump. When

618
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: I watched tape of the Rams, that box has really

619
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: tightened up, that front seven has really tightened up an

620
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: awful lot in regard to the run earlier in the year. Man,

621
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they were not as good as as they

622
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: have been in the past, certainly not as good as

623
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: they were in twenty twenty. But now when I juxtaposed

624
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season to what I'm seeing now,

625
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: it really has tightened up a lot. Would you agree

626
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: with that and what else has changed with this, dude? Definitely, definitely,

627
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: I would definitely agree that a lot. Uh uh. When

628
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: you when you watch that, it's definitely not the same

629
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: deference that we played that first that first go around,

630
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: and we can't walk out there thinking that that's that's

631
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: what we're gonna get because it's definitely a It definitely

632
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: looks a lot different when you watching more film. Um,

633
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: you know, they've added a few pieces since they fitted

634
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: two guys to add a few pieces since the last

635
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: time we played, and you can definitely see it coming

636
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: to life for them. But we, just, like I said,

637
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: thank god, daring and playoff stole the ball and trying

638
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: to nutralize all that the first time around. When you

639
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: guys went to LA and won thirty seven twenty Aaron

640
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald ended up with the worst pass rushing grade

641
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: of his career for a single game. What was the

642
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: formula there and can you replicate that on Monday night? Yeah?

643
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: I think I think uh. I think it was uh

644
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: and went with it and and made it hard for

645
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: those guys. I think that's what we just got to

646
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: do the same thing again and to replicate that same thing,

647
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: because you know it doesn't happen after so we animation,

648
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: We got out there and do the same day hump.

649
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: Do you think that James Connor has changed Cliff Kingsbury's philosophy?

650
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: Do you think do you think that James Connor has

651
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: maybe opened the eyes of Cliff Kingsbury a little bit?

652
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: Because I listened to Cliff talk about James Connor and

653
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: he talks about James Connor as if man he really

654
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: was an eye open or not only the fact that

655
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: he would pound the ball, of course, but a guy

656
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: that could come out of the backfield and make great

657
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: plays and great catches. Do you think James Connor has

658
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: brought a little bit of that physicality to life for

659
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury? I definitely hope. So, I definitely think that

660
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: when you when you see him his eagerness, when James

661
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: was in that mode as seems like Cliff can tell

662
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I definitely definitely they're

663
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: feeding off each other and it's something that it's something

664
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: awesome to watch because I'm on the I'm on the

665
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: positive end of that. I get the b get the

666
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: run block, and I really enjoy that. So you guys

667
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: talked about how the Rams defense is different from Game

668
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: one Week four. One big difference the addition of von Miller.

669
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: So what does that mean for your offensive line when

670
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: you get a Hall of Famer like that added mid

671
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: season to the Rams? Yeah, man, it's it's it's definitely. Uh,

672
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: I guess I see what teams go through when they

673
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: deal with us, trying to figure out how they who

674
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna double d hyper aj. You know, it's just

675
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: kind of that, it's kind of that say that that

676
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: would go the flip side for me. But it's definitely

677
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: those guys give you a hapeful chance. Like you said,

678
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: both of those guys are too you know what I mean,

679
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: we know we're gonna be Hall of famers and them

680
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: being on the saye, I saw one flip of them

681
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,879
Speaker 1: like Aaron Donald at the four and and and Vaughan

682
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: at the outside linebacker spot. I was like, Wow, that's

683
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: that's something that's something that you would normally see in

684
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl. And that's yeah, that's their base BA

685
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: Here's you know, you guys don't talk an awful lot

686
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: about the number one seat, do you. It's it's more

687
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: like the next game, you guys. I don't know if

688
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,240
Speaker 1: I've ever been around a team that seems so hyper

689
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: focused as you guys are. Would you agree with that? Yeah?

690
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: I would, And that's I think that's one of my

691
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 1: favorite things about our team is like everybody's focused on

692
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: right now. Nobody's really got their their eyes set on

693
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 1: the future or what's gonna happen though, or what's what's

694
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: gonna go. It's all about right now, this play, this

695
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: and that's that. Seems like that's all that anybody's focused on.

696
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:37,959
Speaker 1: And that's that's that's one of my favorite things about

697
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 1: our team. Everybody's right now. We're at practice, we're focused

698
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: on practice, when we're in the game, focusing the game,

699
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: we're not looking at all. When I looking back, it

700
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: is right now. And that's that I love that about

701
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: our team. Well, if you go on to know on Monday.

Speaker 1: LA today and you dominated the Rams. The Cardinals slay

722
00:36:55,680 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: the Dragon. Sean McVay finally goes down again in Arizona

723
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: after an eight and o record, The Cardinals beat the

724
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: Rams and beat them soundly in Los Angeles by the

725
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: final score of thirty seven to twenty behind an MVP

726
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: caliber performance by their franchise quarterback Kyler Murray back the

727
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: Red Sea was in LA, and as he left the field,

728
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: they started channing MVP MVP, just like they did in

729
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: other games this year, including the most recent game at

730
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: Chicago red Z representing and channing MVP is Kyler left

731
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: in that Rams game about four hundred and sixty four

732
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:41,720
Speaker 1: total yards, Cardinals ran at forty times for two hundred

733
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: sixteen yards, that's five four yards a toad, and after

734
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: the opening punt they scored on seven of their next

735
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: eight possessions. Cardinals won big at LA, trying to sweep

736
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: the Rams just like they did the forty nine Ers.

737
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: We were wrapping up this edition of The Big Red Rage,

738
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 1: presented by Santan and Ford and Gilbert Yours, Truley, Paul

739
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,280
Speaker 1: Kell VC, and Ron Wolfley. You know, for me, Polly, honestly,

740
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: coming up this Monday night, it would you say this

741
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: is a big game Paul, would you say it's a

742
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: big game because I think it is the biggest game

743
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: of the season. Now, They're all going to start getting

744
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: bigger and bigger as we continue to push towards that

745
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: number one seed. But I think this is the biggest

746
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: game in the season here, Paul, you could argue, you

747
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,919
Speaker 1: could argue Week four was the biggest game. You could

748
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 1: argue Week one, in my opinion, was the biggest game

749
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 1: in the tone you said and what you established out

750
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,399
Speaker 1: of the gates and how many doubters are we're going

751
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: in to Tennessee. But yeah, considering this is on national TV,

752
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: you have a chance to clinch a playoff spot, you

753
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,720
Speaker 1: haven't done it since twenty fifteen and sweep a RAMS

754
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: team that had been eight and oh against you under

755
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: Sean McVay until this season. Yes, go five and oz

756
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,479
Speaker 1: in the division, Polly, and not only that too. Once again,

757
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: we all know you're three and two at home, you're

758
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: seven and ozo on the road, and you're three and

759
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: two at home. You got to do something about your

760
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: home field in the home field advantage right here. I

761
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: just there's so many variables that come into play. Why

762
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 1: this is a big game coming up here. So I'm

763
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: not really worried about Kyler Murray. I'm not worried about him.

764
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: I think big games are in his DNA. Now he's

765
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 1: gonna have to go prove it, Paul, He's gonna have

766
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: to go prove it by playing well. But I'm not

767
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 1: really worried about Kyler Murray. I think he's gonna play

768
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: very very well. If I were a RAM, though, I

769
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: might be looking at Matthew Stafford and wondering if Matthew

770
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: Stafford is in fact that guy, is he really going

771
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 1: to get us over the hump? Now? Matthew Stafford has

772
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: had a very very good season. Of course, early in

773
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: the season, I think he was an MVP candidate. As

774
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, I think he was the MVP candidate.

775
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: Right now, I think that arc that arrow has become declivitous.

776
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he's an MVP candidate the way that

777
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: he was, of course, But I'm gonna be watching Matthew

778
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: Stafford very closely to see how he plays in this

779
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 1: big game. Well, they had a three game losing streak

780
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: and he threw a pick six in every single game. Yes,

781
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: so three straight games of the pick six. Whereas, for example,

782
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has thrown three pick sixes in his entire career,

783
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: so that has dogged Matthew Stafford his ability to win

784
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 1: big games. Yes, and this obviously is a big game.

785
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: In the last four games, they have turned the ball

786
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,240
Speaker 1: over seven times the Rams, and Stafford has been involved

787
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:36,280
Speaker 1: in six of those turnovers right there. So yes, I honestly,

788
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: I believe there are guys that are looking at him

789
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,280
Speaker 1: inside the locker room because no offense to Matthew Stafford.

790
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: He's got all the ability in the world. I have

791
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: so much respect for him and the player that he is.

792
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 1: But when you want to get down to it and

793
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 1: what people say about Matthew Stafford, the one question mark

794
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: they had is could he win big games? Was he

795
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: tough enough? And I'm not talking about physically tough, I'm

796
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: talking about toughen his soul. Was he tough enough to

797
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 1: withstand the the pressure of a big game? And we're

798
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: gonna find out. I'm very interested to see how he plays. Yeah, well,

799
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: he's going against a top five scoring defense in the NFL,

800
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: while Kyler Murray is going against Aaron Donald and company.

801
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: The new addition Von Miller, Jalen Ramsey obviously top corner

802
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: in the league. Here's Kyler on that challenge. No, that's just, uh,

803
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 1: that's kind of what you you know, I didn't sign

804
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: up for it, but that's you know, that's you know,

805
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 1: you get drafted areas on a cardinal somebody. The first

806
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: thing you think about his damn well, you already know

807
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: you gotta go against he's talking about ninety nine in particular,

808
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald right there. Yeah, you know. So look, here's

809
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: the thing that was interesting about their win against the

810
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: Jacks and yeah they beat him thirty seven to seven.

811
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 1: Forget the final score, forget the opponent. It was all

812
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 1: about what the Rams did. They came out and on

813
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: their first possession, their first snap, they went into a

814
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: jumbo set. They had an extra offensive lineman out there,

815
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,240
Speaker 1: and they started running the ball straight ahead. They started

816
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 1: changing up their personnel groups. Until that Jacksonville game last week,

817
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: they had run more three wide receiver sets as a

818
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: percentage of plays than any team in the league. They

819
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: basically went back to the Todd Gurley days. Yes, and

820
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: so they're taking a page maybe Sean McVay for everybody

821
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: who said when the Cardinals hired Cliff Kingsbury, Oh, they're

822
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 1: trying to duplicate the Sean. No, maybe it's the other

823
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: way around right now. Or you know what, Sean mcvay's

824
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: looking over the block wall into the Cardinals backyard and

825
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: taking a look what a Cliff Kingsbury's doing. Yeah, the

826
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, they have the highest quarterback rating in the

827
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: league right now, and again I think it's an excellent

828
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 1: measurement of how a human being is actually playing the

829
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: quarterback position. Kyler Murray has the highest quarterback rating in

830
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: the National Football League. The Rams defensive quarterback rating, which

831
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: is very very important. It takes into account your coverage,

832
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: how buttoned up you are in the back end, how

833
00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 1: will you tackle, and how well you pressured quarterbacks as well.

834
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: Their number seven in defensive quarterback rating. But the matchup

835
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: to me is the quarterback rating number three Matthew Stafford

836
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: in the Los Angeles Rams number three in the National

837
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: Football League to number five hit the Arizona Cardinals are

838
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: number five defensive quarterback rating. That to me, Pauli is

839
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 1: going to be the matchup of this game. So can

840
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: they make him one dimensional? Can they shut down the

841
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: Rams ability to run the ball and make Matthew Stafford

842
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: one dimensional, because right now, over the last three games

843
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: that the Rams run rate has been thirty one percent, Yes,

844
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,439
Speaker 1: thirty one percent, Paul, where they actually run the ball

845
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 1: over the last three games, and sixty nine percent they're

846
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 1: throwing it. And don't forget the first time the Cardinals

847
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: played the Rams, the headline screamed empty Cup. We're talking

848
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: about Cooper Cup who led the league in every single

849
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 1: receiving category and was a complete non factor in Week

850
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 1: four five catchers for sixty four yards on thirteen targets. Yes,

851
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: and he comes in leading the league and receiving touchdowns

852
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 1: and receiving yards. So we'll see how he fares in

853
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 1: the rematch. That's going to be the matchup right there.

854
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 1: If they can make Matthew Stafford one dimensional, shut the

855
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: Rams down from running the ball, and then here we

856
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 1: go Matthew Stafford versus that defensive quarterback rating. Hey the
