Speaker 1: weeks from tonight leading into tomorrow, Ron Wolfley, the Red

19
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: and White practice. You know the regular season is around

20
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: the corner. When you get the red and white practice,

21
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: I'd like to refer to it as the gateway to

22
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: the regular season. Absolutely, Bally, I can tell you right

23
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: now it's one of my favorite days, right the red

24
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: and white practice. I'm looking forward to it. We're actually

25
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: going to be broadcasting at you and I are going

26
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: to be working together. Are you kidding me? This to me,

27
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to this. I do every year. Can't

28
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: wait to see a little bit of the offense and

29
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: a little bit of the defense in the year twenty

30
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: twenty of our Lord Polly now Wolf. You're known to

31
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: get a little um verbose, and the volume tends to

32
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: go up when the first starts to fly, as you say,

33
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: and in an empty stadium, and considering we're just going

34
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: to be up in the lower bowl broadcasting, you know,

35
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: you might want to be a little self conscious before

36
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: you launch into a rip job on a young guy

37
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: who doesn't cut it drilled them all. I don't know

38
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: if that's going to happen, though, Polly, Bud, I will

39
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: say this, we need to shut that window. There's no

40
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: shut that window because that empty stadium and carry sound really,

41
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: really well, yeah, by the way, a young player emphasis

42
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: is what Cliff Kingsbury is saying about tomorrow. And honestly,

43
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: it might be the last chance, right Wolf, the last

44
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: real window for a young guy to do the unthinkable

45
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: and really to think about the odds against a guy

46
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: trying to make the team off the radar and undrafted

47
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: guy for example, the degree of difficulty has never been

48
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: higher than this. You're without any preseason game, Paully. It's

49
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: a great point, it really is. It's just so difficult

50
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: for a rookie. And again, I'm not saying for a

51
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: rookie to make a team because with the expanded rosters

52
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: right now, right, the fact that you can carry more

53
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: players for obvious reasons, right we're talking about COVID nineteen

54
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 1: in the pandemic, and the fact that you can do

55
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: that I think helps a lot of guys and will

56
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: help a lot of guys stick around. But in terms

57
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: of actually getting playing time, boy, it's gonna be a

58
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: select few, Paul that I think really get playing time.

59
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: I think of Isaiah Simmons first and foremost. Maybe a

60
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: Josh Jones get some playing time this season, I don't know,

61
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: But to give the rookie the opportunity to go out

62
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: there and actually make plays in games that count. And

63
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: that's where he's got to shine, and that's where he's

64
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: gonna start taking somebody else's playing time. I don't know

65
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: how many opportunities a young guy is gonna get, Pollie,

66
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: I mean, as bullish as the Cardinals aren't for good reason.

67
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: Under two fourth round defensive lineman, A couple of guys

68
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: who were mature, and I mean Richard Lawrence is exactly

69
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: lot of props from Corey Peters right in terms of

70
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: his technique, the size of a lucky foe. Two do

71
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: you really trust those two guys Week one against the

72
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: Niners and Kyle Shannon's offense if your vance, Joseph, just

73
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: show you. Throw them out there, Polly right, showing the field,

74
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: throw them out there and say, hey, listen, Lucky, time

75
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: to go fote through gap. There we go, we're Chard Lawrence.

76
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: Time for you to get up there in the gap

77
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: and make a play. I mean, it's just so difficult

78
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: for these young guys because a lot of the guys, Polly,

79
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: that's exactly what it's gonna be. They're gonna be getting

80
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: their first rep in Silks against the forty Niners. That's brutal.

81
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: Today the practice field was empty. Nine teams in the

82
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: NFL opting not to practice today, canceling all team activities.

83
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: Will tell you why and how it was one of

84
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: the most unique days in NFL history. As we continue,

85
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: just getting rolling on the Big Red Rage presented by

86
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: santan Ford and Gilbert, I think as players and coaches,

87
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: you know, we have a tremendous platform and that can

88
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: help keep the spotlight on the fact that as a

89
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: country we have issues when it comes to social injustice

90
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: and racism, and that we have a problem here and

91
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: we have that ability to touch lives and lead by example,

92
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: and I think that's what we're all trying to do.

93
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: We all need to push together in the same direction

94
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: and try and help the change that we want to see.

95
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes it goes beyond sports. Sam right now is one

96
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: of those times in our nation. It is the Big

97
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: Red Rage presented by santan Ford in Gilbert. We are

98
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: santan Ford, Paul kelvc Ron Wolfley and pointing words from

99
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury earlier today, we got word this morning, wolf Back.

100
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: We are on the air that the Cardinals had gone

101
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: ahead and canceled all team activities. They had canceled their

102
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: practice as scheduled, walked through in other meetings. Nine teams

103
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: total in the NFL did the same, and it was

104
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: all in the words of Cliff Kingsbury too, to give play.

105
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: There's a chance to be that change that they want

106
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: to see in his words, and we'll hear more from

107
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: Cliff kings Very. But your initial reaction as a former player, yourself,

108
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: and how the locker room came together together, it came

109
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: together today in unison to make that decision. Yeah, Paul,

110
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, this is the societal issue of our time.

111
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: It is, and although things are not going to change overnight,

112
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: social injustices must end, and it's going to take all

113
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: of us pulling in the right direction, the same direction, right.

114
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: I think what we saw today is just a little

115
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: indicator of what we're going to continue to see, and

116
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: not just in the National Football League, of course, but

117
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: all across the sports horizon. What is happening right now

118
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: in baseball, of course, in basketball we all know what's

119
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: happening in the Orlando bubble. It's just something that is

120
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: not going to go away, and nor should it, Kenyan

121
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: Drake tweeting out this morning and I quote, we have

122
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: the day off today to educate and reflect on who

123
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: we are as individuals and where we need to progress

124
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: as people. Honor to be in an organization of men

125
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: and women who lead the charge for change in this

126
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: country and wet there Kenyan Drake. Cliff Kingsbury was asked

127
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: in a media zoom session, why why today and why

128
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: the decision? There's times, you know, when football takes a

129
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: back burner, and we felt like this was one of

130
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: those moments as an organization. One of our players to

131
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: know that, you know, we support them, want them to

132
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: have a day to be with their families, you know,

133
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: reflect on things, be around friends, be around each other,

134
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: and then use the day to help make that change

135
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: they want to see. He called the mood somber in

136
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: that team meet and he said vanced Joseph, the Cardinals

137
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, addressed the team. They had a meeting early

138
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: this morning between Cliff Kingsbury, owner Michael Bidwell, the GM

139
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: Steve kind Vance, Joseph, and the decision was made and

140
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: and you know, in the words of Cliff Kingsbury, what

141
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: happened to Jacob Blake was horrendous and it has to stop.

142
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: And you heard it echoed throughout the sports world. You

143
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: heard HERM Edwards, the ASU head coach, former Jets head coach,

144
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: talk about it this morning and what he says, he

145
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: tells his young men and those young players in the

146
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: a Su Sun Devil's locker room that your actions need

147
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: to match your words. Well, today was a big step

148
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: in that direction. Yeah, POULI no doubt, you know. As

149
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: a former player, I'm sorry, Paul, but I think of

150
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: the context of all of this right in the fact

151
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: these guys are in training camp, Paul, you know, I

152
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: mean we're not talking about baseball games being postponer basketball games, right,

153
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: those are big deals, there's no doubt about it. But

154
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: just the brutality typically of training camp and the fact

155
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,239
Speaker 1: that you're in this training camp and that's your context,

156
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: and context is everything. How we live our lives, how

157
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: we work, how we build our relationships, and how we

158
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 1: compete in football games is about that context. As a

159
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: former player, I think about the context these guys are

160
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: playing in and I empathize greatly with them. They're out there.

161
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys, PAULI, They're competing for jobs.

162
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: They're competing for jobs on the field and competing against

163
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: other teams in a few weeks, and I wonder how

164
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: these guys are keeping it all together. Now, Listen, Paul,

165
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: I know there are many people that have worse situations

166
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: in their lives and it's not even close, but it

167
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: doesn't discount what these guys are doing and how much

168
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: of a distraction this has been. And coaches Paulli, every

169
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: coach I have ever been around, they go to great

170
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: lengths to do what eliminate any distractions from that locker room,

171
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: any distractions. Bill Belichick was absolutely maniacal when it came

172
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: to distractions, which the great irony is de flake Gate,

173
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: of course and everything that went with that. But the

174
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: context is amazing to me. These guys, this is what

175
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 1: are doing in a pandemic, with all the social issues

176
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: that are out there. This is how they're trying to

177
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: make a football team. This is how they're competing, and

178
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: it's just brutal. Well, think of Cliff Kingsbury himself. You

179
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: talk about a guy who's all ball right, singularly focused

180
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: on football, it is Cliff Kingsbury and a lot of

181
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: that comes from his dad, who was a long time

182
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: football coach, high school football coach, and a Purple Heart

183
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: recipient as a Vietnam veteran, and in meeting the media,

184
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: think of Cliff Kingsbury. He's no longer just a football coach.

185
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: He is a leader of men. He's a spokesperson for

186
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: a billion dollar operation. And it was a real human

187
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: moment when he shared with the media today a conversation

188
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: he had with his father in the off season. My

189
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: dad was a long time football coach but also a

190
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 1: marine served in Vietnam. You received a purple Heart and

191
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: talking to him, there's two words that really stood out

192
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: in one of one was respect and the second thing

193
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: was understanding. I think respect the viewpoints people have on

194
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: this topic and that they're they're very personal and very passionate,

195
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 1: and then respect their right to express themselves. I think

196
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 1: you got to understand at its core what this is

197
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: really about. And it's always been about drawing attention of

198
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: the social injustice and that continues to take place. We

199
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: saw it again this week with Jacob Blake. It's about

200
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: increasing awareness that racism exists. Police brutality against people with

201
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: color continues to happen, and let's not forget or confuse

202
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: it with something else, or make the narrative different. My

203
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway from talking to my dad was kneeling doesn't

204
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: reflect a lack of patriotism or respect for the military

205
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: in any way, just like standing during the anthem doesn't

206
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: mean you're okay with racistem or social injustice. And it's

207
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: important to respect and understand that those comments got a

208
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 1: lot of national attention. Rightfully, so very well said and

209
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: shared by Cliff Kingsbury. There, Paulie, it's something it's very

210
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 1: interesting because I haven't told you this, but I can

211
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: tell you that I have a nephew. His name is

212
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: Major Kyle Jacob Wolfleet Rights and he teaches at West

213
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: Point and on that kneeling. On the topic of kneeling,

214
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: of course, to me, I have to tell you, Paul,

215
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: I was always so out of my mind about it,

216
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: right because of my nephew. And my nephew told me

217
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: Uncle Ronnie knock it off. That's why I joined the military,

218
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: That's what he told me, Paul, so that we would

219
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: all have the right to do what we wanted to

220
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 1: do in this country. That we had that freedom, Paul.

221
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: It just was so powerful. That's that's I had not

222
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: heard that story. That's that's that's all done by your

223
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: nephew and change my mind, Paul. Yeah, and those who

224
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: have taken a knee. That's how they have explained it.

225
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: To bring awareness to the issue. And when Cliff Kingsbury

226
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: said earlier about trying to help affect the change you

227
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: want to see, well, this is part of that process

228
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: as teams are doing their best to promote equality and acceptance,

229
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: and he saw that today. Very curious to see where

230
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: it's going to go from here. We know the red

231
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: and white practice is still scheduled for tomorrow, but we've

232
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: seen it, as you mentioned, you know, Major League Baseball, NBA, MLS, NHL,

233
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: and so what exactly does this mean and how exactly

234
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: will it unfold? We'll learn more from players tomorrow, Poulie.

235
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: We all have to do better. That much we know.

236
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. We'll come back and it doesn't get

237
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: much better this week. If your Buddha Baker, we'll explain

238
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: that next. On the big red rage, Whuda Baker is

239
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: right there, there's Bouda Baker coming over the top. Who

240
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: to Baker play? That is big Tide Hartson off the

241
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: right side, and Buda Baker makes a nice backside tack

242
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: at least going to the Pro Bowl as a safety.

243
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: Who to Baker like a dark cloud coming out of

244
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: the secondary. What a great job by Buddha Baker right there,

245
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: coming up to make that play, dumps it off near side,

246
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: caught by Homer at the thirty He gets tattooed at

247
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: the thirty two by Baker. Buddha Baker. Budda Baker came

248
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: up to make that tackle, and I mean Finnish stat tackle. Well,

249
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: there were one hundred forty seven total tackles by Buddha

250
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: Baker a year ago, fourth from the NFL, and not

251
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: a surprise to Ron Wilfley and day Pass on the

252
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: call right there that he had one hundred four solo tackles,

253
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: number one in the NFL in twenty nineteen. It is

254
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: a big red rage presented by satan Ford and Gilbert.

255
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: We are satan Ford and Buddha Baker. You are the

256
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: highest paid safety in the NFL. How about that wall?

257
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, that's got to feel so good right

258
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: there for Buddha Baker. I'm so happy for Buddha because

259
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: this is a football player through and through a pros

260
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: pro Pauli if there ever was right, and love the

261
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: fact that he's got so much versatility. Position flexibility is

262
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: a buzzword in the National Football League, but it's so important.

263
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons why Isaiah Simmons was definitely

264
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: a surprise to me that he was still there at eight.

265
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: Knowing what kind of position flexibility he actually brings to

266
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: a defense and how many different places he can play. Well,

267
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: I can tell you right now, Buddha Baker is one

268
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: of those guys, Pauli, that you can move all over

269
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: the place. You can put him in the box right

270
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: as a box safety, bring him down. You can actually

271
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: put him in the middle of the field playing that

272
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: center field as a safety. You can put him in

273
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: the slot. Of course, you can move him around, and

274
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: that position flexibility is always there for a guy like

275
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: Vance Joseph. Remember what Justin Pue told us last week

276
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: right here in the Big Red Rage, that Buddha is

277
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: always in the box as a safety. As a smaller

278
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: guy him, Justinpuh's always trying to knock him out right,

279
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: just to him make him pay for it, but he

280
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: can never get his hands on him. It's the most

281
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: frustrating thing. He said, just Apu still can't make him pay. Yes,

282
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: and you know what also always so important, not only

283
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: that he's physical enough to actually hold up Pauli, but

284
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: the fact that he's such a good tackler as well. Safety.

285
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: They're called safeties for a reason, are they not ball?

286
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: They're the safeties. They're the last line of defense for

287
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: the most part, right literally and sometimes figuratively, you want

288
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: them to be good tacklers on the field. And that's

289
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: the strength. Oh my goodness, when you start talking about

290
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker and his qualities, his strengths, right up at

291
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: the top, I would say open field tackling. Can I

292
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: just say this now the last season is over. When

293
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: DJ Sweringer was struggling last year with his tackling, look

294
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: at the state of the Cardinals run defense. Look at

295
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: how many big runs the Cardinals gave up straight up

296
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. And that's because they had

297
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: a safety. You, for whatever reason, just was not adept

298
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: at the open field tackling. And it wasn't much longer

299
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: he was no longer in Arizona Cardinal. Once upon a

300
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: time they had a one year free agent by the

301
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,959
Speaker 1: name of Terrence Holt at free safety who was not

302
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: an a dept tackler, And it's a real liability in

303
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: detriment to your defense. To your point, Wolf, I mean,

304
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: you realize right away when you have a safety you

305
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: can't tackle. It's a huge liability. And what I also

306
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: love too, Paulie, it's just a fact this is going

307
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: to be back to back years that he gets to

308
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: play in the same defense. Think about that, Paul How

309
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 1: unbelievable is that the kid's been in the league for

310
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: three years, he had three different defenses. Finally he's going

311
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: to have the same defensive coordinator. It'll be in the

312
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: same defense back to back. And Buddha Baker was asked

313
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: about that. I've been in the league for three years,

314
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: have been in three different defenses and played three different positions,

315
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 1: you know, so it's definitely hard to get some familiarity.

316
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: And this year is definitely that year where I'm very

317
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: excited to have that familiarity and have these coaches here

318
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: and I'm just focused on taking the next step to

319
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: be an even greater football player, you know. On Tuesday,

320
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: Wolf had a chance to go one on one with

321
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury at Cards camp Central powered by Cox, and

322
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: I asked him, I said, he wait a minute. If

323
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: he said three defensive coordinators in three years for the

324
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: first time, he's in the same system for the second

325
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: year in a row, what's the upside? And Cliff Kingsbury

326
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: right away said, I've already seen it. I've already seen

327
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: it in practice in this training camp. How much more

328
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: comfortable he is? So I put the same question to you.

329
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: I mean, if he had one hundred and forty seven

330
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: tackles last year led the NFL on solo tackles, what

331
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: does that mean if he actually doesn't have to think

332
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: at all and can just truly play. You know where

333
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: I think it's really going to show up, PAULI is interceptions. Finally,

334
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: I think for Buddha Baker, that's where it's going to

335
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: start showing up. The fact that he gets a feel

336
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: for a defense right and understands exactly what it is

337
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: that you're trying to do and what the defensive coordinator

338
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: wants out of him. Buddha Baker has put himself in

339
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: positions to get his hands on passes and knock him down.

340
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: He's done that. We've seen him do that. Now, I

341
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: think it's time for him to make that transition and

342
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: to actually coming down with more interceptions. And when that happens,

343
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: when Buddha Baker starts coming up with more interceptions, which

344
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: I believe is he's destined to actually do, I think

345
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: he's going to be compared to guys like Earl Thomas. Well,

346
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: speaking of guys like Earl Thomas, who, by the way,

347
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: he used to work out with when he was at

348
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: U dub Up in Seattle. He had incredible trained in

349
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: the offseason with a legion of boom. So if you're

350
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: wondering why he plays the game at that sort of rate,

351
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: well here's Cliff Kingsbury on Buddha's intensity. Bood is a

352
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 1: fearless player. He's one of those lions, if you will.

353
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: When he's out on that field, he's not afraid of anybody,

354
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: and he plays that way. And the guy's feet off

355
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: that he has a certain intensity about himself even when

356
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: he's walking around in the weight room or he's doing

357
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,719
Speaker 1: sprints or that practice. I mean, that's who he is

358
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: all the time. And expect him to continue to get better,

359
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: which which would be a good thing. Listen, Boodh is

360
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: not the ideal size Paulie for a safetey, right. I

361
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: mean he's not. Earl Thomas isn't either. Earl Thomas is

362
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: five ten, two hundred and four pounds. Right, He's not

363
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: the ideal safety either. You'd like a little bit more

364
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: size maybe out of your safeties. But I can tell

365
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: you right now the physicality that comes from Paula. You know,

366
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: I was an undersized fullback when I played. Okay, all

367
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: the fullbacks are gorse ball two fifty two sixty back

368
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: when I played, all right, I was two hundred and

369
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 1: eighteen pounds. Here you go, put him off. Put him off, right,

370
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: here's a brawl, two hundred eighteen pounds, and you had

371
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: to play twice as hard. I had to play twice

372
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: as hard just to hold up. And that's the same

373
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 1: thing I see in Buddha Baker. He plays twice as

374
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: hard is almost anybody on the field. You watch him.

375
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: Steve Kine will tell you about Buddha Baker if you

376
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: just watch him from the snap to the whistle, in

377
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: the effort that he gives. What if I said, we

378
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: have a chance to hear Buddha Baker in action, because

379
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: here's a clip of Buddha Baker Wired miked up against

380
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: the Seahawk Week sixteen, a year ago. Seahawks run the

381
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: ball off the right side and a big hit by

382
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: Bota Baker at the twenty six yard line. The Cardinals

383
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: have been much more physical than Seattle. Yeah that boy,

384
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: how you doing that? How do you do that? No fear,

385
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: no fear, I ain't scared of nobody. Did you hear that?

386
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: It was awesome and that and he knocked the running

387
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: back out of the game as their Joe home, a

388
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: Hunter recalled there were two running backs that he knocked

389
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: out of the game, clean hits, just physical football. Neither

390
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 1: running back return. Oh yeah, that's the kind of you

391
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: know where I got my most respect for Buddha Baker

392
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: And yeah, we can site last year in that Seattle

393
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: game was phenomenal and he always gets jacked up when

394
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: he goes to his hometown. And then there's the Steelers

395
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: game where he came all the way back across field

396
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,959
Speaker 1: and cut off Deontae Johnson before the pylon to just

397
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: save a touchdown. And that was a tackle on a

398
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: play the Whizzle snapped a whizzleball, but Wolf. It was

399
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: in December of twenty eighteen when the Cardinals were struggling

400
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: en route to a three and thirteen season, and a

401
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: lot of guys have checked out on that defense. Not

402
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker. Buddha was out there with the same intensity,

403
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: flying around with his hair on fire, still making tackles.

404
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: And that's where I got a lot of respect for

405
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,719
Speaker 1: him and the pride he takes in his game. Yeah, absolutely, Pauline.

406
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: It's because bood is internally motivated. It's the reason why

407
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,479
Speaker 1: I can say with certitude that Buddha Baker is not

408
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: going to suddenly get complacent because he got the big money,

409
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: because he's the highest paid safety in the history of

410
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: the National Football League. I look at him and I

411
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: see Chandler Jones. When I look at Buddha Baker, I

412
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,719
Speaker 1: see Chandler Jones, and Chandler Jones one of my favorite

413
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: dudes on the planet. The reason being is because you

414
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: show me how many guys actually get the big money,

415
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: get the big contract like Chandler Jones did, and somehow

416
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: got better. It just rarely do you see that. But

417
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,959
Speaker 1: guess what, Buddha Bay I think it's built just like

418
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones. He's internally motivated, paul He's not externally motivated.

419
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: He's not. You don't have to defame him and deface

420
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: him in any way for him to go out and

421
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: do his job. He's gonna do it because he cares

422
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 1: about doing it, because it says who he is as

423
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: a person and as a player. You know what, if

424
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 1: you're correcting that assessment, that explains why Buddha and Chandler

425
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: Jones are besties. I mean, those guys came out all

426
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, those guys are ball yep. And by

427
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: the way, it was four years, fifty nine million, thirty

428
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: one million guaranteed signing bonus at ten million, so that

429
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: word safety you can take off the s and just

430
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: put a dollar sign right off the tops. Ain't none

431
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: but ten million money. Man is out. Chandler Jones introduced

432
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: him to the locker room, and Buddha Baker got a

433
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: round of applause. That you tell me right now to

434
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: think about bat Paul, Think about what Chandler Jones did

435
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: right there, to your point about how close these guys are,

436
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 1: and to my point about he's the same type of guy.

437
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 1: Think about what Chandler Jones did to sit there and

438
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: everyone gave us standing oh. When he walked into the

439
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: locker room. They'll respect. That's cool. By the way, he's

440
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: now the highest paid member of that secondary, you know,

441
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson going into a contract year, and and that

442
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: brings us to the Cardinals secondary because the question becomes

443
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: maybe the biggest question still to be answered. Who is

444
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: going to be the other corner. We'll get into that.

445
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,400

00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: starting corner opposite Patrick Peterson? And that is a question

462
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: for Ron Wolfley. You're on the Big Red Rage presented

463
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: by Santan Ford and Gilbert we are satan Ford. From

464
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: all appearances, wolf it appears he's given he's being given

465
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: every chance to win that spot opposite Pete. Twice. Yeah, absolutely, Paulie,

466
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: and I think Drake Kirkpatrick is definitely gonna be that guy.

467
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: I do Listen, this is for a guy that was

468
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: out there on the street. This is about as well

469
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: as you could possibly do if you're Steve Kin. I mean, honestly,

470
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 1: to find a guy like Drake Kirkpatrick. There's a guy,

471
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: PAULI that has some talent, as you said, drafted number one,

472
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,719
Speaker 1: drafted in the first round by the Cincinnati Bengals. Right,

473
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: And he's long and he played at Alabama. He's played

474
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: against excellentality's six two when he's long and lean and

475
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: he's got long arms. He's got talent, there's no doubt.

476
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: And he's got eight years of experience behind him, the

477
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: last five of which we're starting right. So to me,

478
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 1: I look at Kirkpatrick, I think it's an awesome signing,

479
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: and I think it's an awesome signing for him because

480
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: he's going to get the opportunity to go out and

481
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: show a lot of teams on a one year contract

482
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: veterans minimum that he's not done. And the Cardinals have

483
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 1: the competitive advantage of Vance Joseph, their defensive coordinator, who

484
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: was his dB coach for two years previously in Cincinnati.

485
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: So Vance Joseph asked about the arrival of Drake Kirkpatrick.

486
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: Were has been a starting corner in his league for

487
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: the last four or five years. You know, I coached

488
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 1: him for two seasons and since he was a young

489
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: guy coming on fast there, he's had some really good

490
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: years in his league. And you know, he's excited about

491
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: being here, and he's obviously familiar with most of our system,

492
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: but some things have changed and the last four to

493
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: five years, you know when it comes to my system.

494
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: So we're excited to have Drey here and we'll see

495
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: how it shakes out. So does the question become if

496
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: your Vance Joseph Wolf, not only is he a starter,

497
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: but does he have the ability to play press man

498
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 1: because ideally that's advanced Joseph wants to do. That's what

499
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: it originally he was going to do with a healthy

500
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: Robert Alfred. Right, Yeah, no, absolutely, yeah, man cover, This

501
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: is what Vance Joseph loves. Right, man cover, man free.

502
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, put a safety in the

503
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: middle of the field, play man across the board. Right.

504
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 1: He's a man coach, I think for the most part. Now,

505
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean you're not going to see any zone.

506
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: You will see his zone from the Arizona Cardinals. But

507
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: he is a man guy, no doubt about it. So

508
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: for me, I love the fact that Drake Kirkpatrick means

509
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: that Byron Murphy gets to stay in the slot. Paul

510
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 1: ad a nickelback, right, I mean that to me is

511
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: where Byron Murphy's future is. And you have to understand,

512
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: you do you get there's nothing wrong with taking a

513
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: second round pick and putting him in the slot and

514
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: saying you're gonna be our nickel back because nickel is

515
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: a starting defense for a lot of teams. You get

516
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 1: the most snaps now by the end of the year

517
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: in your nickel package, and that's where Byron Murphy is

518
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: going to be. Playing in the slot and because of that,

519
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: he's going to get a lot of playing time. And

520
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: I love the fact he gets to stay there and

521
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: work at his craft in the slot with Drake Kirkpatrick,

522
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: who's six two and much longer out of the perimeter. Yeah,

523
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: just the possibilities with a bigger corner like that, you know,

524
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: even if he might need some help every once in

525
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: a while, with some safety help or Brackett help over

526
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: the top, if if you can rely on him. I mean,

527
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: I look at Drake Kirkpatrick in the fact that he

528
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: started the last five years. Now last year was cut short.

529
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: He started six games and then he went on IR

530
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: with a knee injury. But straight up, wolf a healthy

531
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: Robert Alford against a healthy Drake Kirkpatrick. Do we know

532
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: that Drake Kirkpatrick doesn't beat out of Robert Alfred. You

533
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: know me, though, Poly, I'm sorry, I can't agree with

534
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: you on that one. I'm a big Robert Alford fan.

535
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: I'd been waiting to watch this guy actually go out

536
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: and play. All we got to see was a little

537
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: bit of training camp right a couple of years, two

538
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: training camps ago. We got to see him right before

539
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: he got hurt. For the season, and he was the

540
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: talk of training camp. As a matter of fact, I

541
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: will tell you this from my perspective, he was the

542
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: best player on the field. Well, he definitely had that

543
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: mindset that Vance Joseph likes as a defensive coordinator. And

544
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: of course, the Cardinals defense is in its second year

545
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: under Vance Joseph and Patrick Peterson recently commented on that

546
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: having you know the core of your defense back is huge.

547
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: You know, now you understand your person here. Now you

548
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: understand what guys can and can't do. Now you know

549
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: what positions you can you can put guys in. You

550
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: know what cause you can get away with, you know

551
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: what caused that you can't call. So have an off

552
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: season to really self evaluate, you know, hisself, myself and

553
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: his players. I think he's definitely gonna be a nine

554
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: and date season for us. One of the big questions

555
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: I have in regard to Vans Joseph and how he's

556
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: going to use Patrick Peterson is will he ghost to

557
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: wide receivers? Will he use him like that? Right? We

558
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: saw him do it a little bit at the end

559
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: of last season. We saw Vans Joseph use Pat p

560
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: in those ways ways that were a custom and familiar

561
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: to seeing Patrick Peterson used. Right, Will you ghost a

562
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver where you actually follow the other team's best

563
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver around the field wherever he goes? Will we

564
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: see that week one with Pat p Right? I think

565
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson, by the way, Paulie, and you know this

566
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: because I've talked to you many times about this, he's

567
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: on the precipice of I think having his best season.

568
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: You know, there are certain opponents who just don't have

569
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: a receiver, a true number one receiving threat that's worthy

570
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: of Patrick Peterson shadowing or traveling with him in the

571
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: entire game. And right now the Niners receiver corps so

572
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: banged up, I'm not sure. And Washington, so I'm not sure.

573
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: You know, I would say you probably have to wait

574
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: until week three to be certain. In All Pro or

575
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: at least Pro Bowl or Kenny Galladay, that would be

576
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: the first guy I would see him absolutely for sure

577
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: matching up against in that regard. But to me, Wolf,

578
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: when I look at this defense, hit zoom out for

579
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: a minute. And there's a lot of skepticism nationwide about

580
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: the Cardinals defense that finished last and total defense, and

581
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: we get it, and they were ravaged by injury, and

582
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: they were learning the system, and they made a big

583
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: adjustment of the last month of this season and they

584
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,719
Speaker 1: were about a touchdown better per game in a scoring

585
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: defense and did make a big difference. So now if

586
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: you have a defense a that is familiar with the

587
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: system and B has added as many pieces as they have,

588
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: I mean, what's realistic in terms of a year to

589
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: year improvement, Paul, to listen, they just have to be average.

590
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: This is I truly believe this right now. I'm not

591
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: saying they're not going to be above average. You look

592
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: at the pieces. They've had five new starters, Paul, Five

593
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: maybe even six that are going to get significant playing time.

594
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,239
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. Steve Kim has done an

595
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: incredible job on paper of upping the talent on the

596
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, in particular, if your offense

597
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: did nothing but what they did last year, and I

598
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: think the Arizona Cardinals offense is going to be better,

599
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anybody out there, any analysts out there,

600
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: Pollie that isn't saying the Arizona Cardinals offense is going

601
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: to be more effective, that it's going to be better.

602
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody is saying that it's not gonna

603
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: be any better, right because we know that if the

604
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: defense is just average. Paul, Now, all of a sudden,

605
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: you're talking about winning more games and it's not even close.

606
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: And you know, Wolf this look. I listen to players

607
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: on other players and when they say things unprompted Blake,

608
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: when Chandler Jones talks about a Jordan Phillips the free

609
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: agent acquisition, When Justin Pugh last week out of nowhere

610
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: sites DeAndre Campbell, not enough talk about him another free

611
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: agent signy. That's the kind of stuff that really registers

612
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: on my radar. These are not only additions that phil

613
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: A need. These are playmakers, guys that were really talented

614
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: who it doesn't take long when you're watching camp practice

615
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: to see these guys show up and in your imagination wonders, man,

616
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: how much better can this defense be. It's interesting and

617
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: we'll start to get a sense of it. Obviously against

618
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan and the Niners, because he presents one of

619
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: the biggest challenges for any defense in the NFL, just

620
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: his scheme and play calling, the physicality of the forty

621
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: nine ers that's going to be interesting to watch in

622
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: Week one, Big Red Race presented by Santan Ford and

623
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: Gilbert we roll on right after this shot gun stat

624
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: Murray quarterback run of the left piece at the twenty

625
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,719
Speaker 1: to the fifteen of the ten, Murray's gonna score touchdown

626
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals had the lead back on a Kyler

627
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: Murray twenty two yard touchdown. He's thrown for two today.

628
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: Now he's run for one with six and a half

629
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: ago red run, red run on the soul read with

630
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:18,439
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Oh my goodness, that was open. You could

631
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: just see how open that was that game of the

632
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: Niners last year. Come for the arm, stay for the legs.

633
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray on display as the NFL's offensive rookie of

634
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: the year. Well, if how would you say he's looked

635
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: in camps so far? Could I use could I use

636
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: the two words from Cliff Kingsbury super extra? Could I

637
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: use those two words super extras I would describe Kyler

638
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: in year two so far? Yeah, that would do it,

639
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: no doubt about him. Can I also say there is

640
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: a chemistry that has formed between Kyler Murray and the

641
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: practices that I saw with Dean Ray Hopkins and some

642
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: of his other guys as well. Is that a shock?

643
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 1: Is that a surprise? No, it's certainly not a surprise

644
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: to me, I can tell you that. And I expect big,

645
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: big things from Kyler Murray this year, as we all do. Yeah,

646
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: I mean, let's not bury the lead. Everything we talk

647
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: about and we dissect and we get into the Minutia

648
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: Cardinals camp. Guess what, They've got a quarterback who could

649
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: likely break out this year in a mando way, and

650
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: that that can cover up a lot of weaknesses on

651
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 1: a lot of rosters if you've got that guy behind

652
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: the center and the Cardinals so far from what we

653
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 1: can see, and we saw it right away when he

654
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: showed up to camp, he had put on some good

655
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: weight and some good muscle and fat. In fact, Cliff

656
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: Kingsbury was talking about that that was one of his

657
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: main objectives to put that extra muscle on, keep his

658
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: speed obviously, but to put some of that body armor on.

659
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: And he's changed his body and I think when you're

660
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: talking about sacks and eliminating those negative plays, that's that's

661
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: a big area of improvement that we feel we had

662
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: to make. I'm first of setting down you know, we

663
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: can't put ourselves in third and forever, and we were

664
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: in that way too much last year, and so that's

665
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: been an emissist this camp. Okay, now, Wolf Doom. We

666
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 1: know Cliff Kingsbury's affinity for the Ravens playbook. Sure, okay,

667
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: you know where I'm going with this, So okay, Yes,

668
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 1: And the words of Stephen Colbert when you cite that

669
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: he put on like ten or fifteen pounds of muscle,

670
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: you know what that means? Probably something Colbert would say,

671
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: Does that mean that we might just see some more

672
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: of Kyler Murray tucking it and running it this year?

673
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: Maybe a little bit, Polly, But let me just tell

674
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: you this. Let me warn you right now, right listen,

675
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: the only thing more powerful than money is the promise

676
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 1: of money. Right how many times have you heard that

677
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: the old saying, Polly, Well, I think the only thing

678
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: more devastating than Kyler Murray is the promise of running

679
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. And because of that, I think you show it,

680
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: maybe you show it early in a game that you

681
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: are willing to do that, and now all of a sudden,

682
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: for the rest of the game, that box has got

683
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: to be prepared for Kyler Murray run the ball, Paul.

684
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: That can change game plants, and that can pay off

685
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: in huge ways as the game unfolds. Just knowing they're

686
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: always gonna be worried about Kyler Murray running a four three,

687
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: pulling the ball down and running the ball himself. They're

688
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: always gonna be worried about that. How does that help

689
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: everybody else? Do you remember the Rams game, Paul? Do

690
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: you remember the last game of the season. How many

691
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: times we've talked about the fact that Kyler Murray had

692
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: the put the hamstring and they weren't going to run

693
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray because he had the hammy, the bad hammy,

694
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: and what that did to the box and how it

695
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: tightened up the Rams defensive front and how well they

696
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: played against the run. They weren't worried about Kyler Murray

697
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: running the ball on the perimeter. Well, now with a

698
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: healthy Kyler Murray once again defenses where they're gonna have

699
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: to change their approach. And if I were the Arizona

700
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,959
Speaker 1: Cardinals as well, Paully, I'd be letting everyone know, oh, yeah,

701
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna run him more. You better believe we're going

702
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 1: to run him. As a matter of fact, if our

703
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: Steve Kim and our Cliff Kingsbury. I'd be telling everybody

704
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: how much you're gonna run him even more, and then

705
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 1: just don't do it, because you know, the only thing

706
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: more powerful is the promise of Kyler Murray. It is

707
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,919
Speaker 1: amazing that game at the Ram's final game of the season,

708
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: when they knew he couldn't run and was not going

709
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: to run it, how they just crashed the edges with impunity,

710
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: perfect example Paul and before that. That's why Chase Edmonds

711
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: called him the extra blocker because the defense he holds

712
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: a defense accountable, keeps him honest. They have to account

713
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,720
Speaker 1: for the fact he can get loose and get outside

714
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: the box and scoot up the sideline and house it

715
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: like he did against the Niners, as we heard earlier.

716
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: And then you take the fact he's going into year

717
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: two not just his understanding of what he's seeing in

718
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: a defense, but is understanding with the five guys up front.

719
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: Here's Kyler. There's a happy medium when you can make

720
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: plans with your feet of trying to do too much

721
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: and not trying to do too much. And I think

722
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: this year, you know, just finding my checkdowns understanding you

723
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: know where they are when it's time to, you know,

724
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: give it up. And also understanding what you know, what

725
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: the protections are, understanding what the lines doing. I have

726
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: a way better feel for all that now being in

727
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: a year two, and I think that'll help him out tremendously.

728
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: So um. Now, as far as limiting, you know, limiting

729
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: sacks and the negative plays, I think that'll go down tremendously.

730
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 1: Let me think about It's awesome. Think about the twenty

731
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: sacks he took in the first month of the season.

732
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 1: He had that eight sack game against the Seahawks. There

733
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: were there were five sacks he suffered in that fourth quarter.

734
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: Think of how different the quarterback was from September to December,

735
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: and how much better he was it avoiding those negative plays. Yeah, Paul, absolutely, Listen.

736
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 1: There are a couple of things I'm looking for from

737
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Number one leadership, and I think that is

738
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: already happening. I think I think his leadership is permeating

739
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 1: that locker room, his expectations are permeating that locker room.

740
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be great. Last year he had

741
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: to prove that he could play Did he prove he

742
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: could play ball? I mean you know, that's the question

743
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: we've all got to ask ourselves now. Of course, he

744
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 1: he proved that winning Rookie of the Year, Offensive rookie

745
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: of the year. Of Course, he proved to the veterans

746
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: in that locker room he could play right. That's a

747
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: big deal. Now they go forward and they don't even

748
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: have a thought that their quarterback cannot get the job done.

749
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: That in decision making, I think the leadership part of

750
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: it and then the decision making for Kyler Murray, those

751
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 1: are the two areas he can really improve in. And

752
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 1: I think the pre snap read is part of that process, PAULI.

753
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 1: I think it's part of being a better decision maker,

754
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: knowing and being able to identify that pre snap read

755
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: and anticipate what the defense is going to do. Paul Well.

756
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:40,959
Speaker 1: Last week on the Big Red Rate here we asked

757
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: one of his veteran offensive lineman, Justin Peugh, on how

758
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,879
Speaker 1: Kyler has impressed him so far this camp. It is insanity.

759
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: I mean, what Kyler is able to do on the

760
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,439
Speaker 1: football field is something that you rarely get to see.

761
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: We are all witnessing greatness. But the thing that I

762
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: am most excited about with Kyler is his pre snapped

763
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,439
Speaker 1: record nision. Since he's taking a huge jump from last

764
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: year seeing what the defense is going to try to do.

765
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: He has a whole year under his belt on how

766
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: they're going to try to stop him, and he's able

767
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: to check for some things, and it's going to be

768
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: scary once he's fully, fully aware of everything going on,

769
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,800
Speaker 1: and he's getting there. He's already cited how when he

770
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 1: really took off at high school. I remember he was

771
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 1: undefeated and he was a starter the entire high school career,

772
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: and he won three state championship big school championships in Texas.

773
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: It's when he reached that stage of being able to

774
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: know what a defense is going to try and do

775
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: to him. When he had his Heisman campaign at Oklahoma,

776
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: he said he reached that stage where he could pre snap,

777
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: know what was coming and react accordingly. If he's already

778
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: there as an NFL quarterback, look out, it's so unbelievable.

779
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: But a defensive coordinator in a defense the pre snap

780
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: read and who's gonna win the pre snap read? Is

781
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: it going to be the defense or is it going

782
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: to be the quarterback? Very very cool when you consider it.

783
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons why I love the game

784
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: of football, the game of chess at the NFL level,

785
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: not checkers chess. It's funny you say that because he's

786
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,439
Speaker 1: the reigning champion in the locker room in this camp

787
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: as well. Wholly yeah. Well, as Fitz told us, d

788
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators told him last year, Hey, that kid's gonna

789
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: be special. Back to wrap it up right after this

790
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: second and go on the six. Three receivers left, two

791
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: to the right, Murray and shotgun. Thirty one seconds to

792
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,439
Speaker 1: go and a half Murray back to pass as time

793
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 1: floats at the right side corner of the end zone

794
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 1: and in his cart touchdown. Dan Arnold. The Cardinals really

795
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,240
Speaker 1: like him. They got him off waivers from the Saint

796
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: the former undrafted player out of Wisconsin flat Fille with

797
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 1: his first catch as a Cardinal in a touchdown. What

798
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: do you say we go ahead and take the six

799
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: six tight end dan Arnold. We'll put him on the

800
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: corner row and let him shot shot up in the

801
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: back of the end zone with a little pitter patter.

802
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: Three games for the Cardinals, two touchdown receptions. He got

803
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: a chat shot and a pitter patter out around Wolfley

804
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: on that one catch against Cleveland that was big time.

805
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: He is big. I mean, you want a big target

806
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,399
Speaker 1: at six foot six. Even Kyler said after that game

807
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: he's never had anything quite like that as a weapon

808
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: to throw too. And now Wolf, the hype train is

809
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 1: just off the rails. I mean, NFL network has been

810
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: fanning the flames. A guy with twenty career receptions who

811
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: got no scholarships offers out of high school. You're Dave

812
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 1: pash Wisconsin, Platteville, undrafted, got waived by the Saints, and

813
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, these fantasy football people have

814
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: him up there in the same echelons as George Kittle

815
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: and Travis Kelsey. You know what, Paul, I understand that.

816
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of people out there that get

817
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: some all saucy and juiced up, right, But what gets

818
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: me saucy and juiced up is the fact this guy

819
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: loves to tap into the rage tree. Paull that. I mean,

820
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: you don't see a lot of guys that are skilled

821
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: and talented the way Dan Arnold is where you here.

822
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury saying, this guy looks for contact. He likes

823
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 1: the physicality of it, all right, He's got a lot

824
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: of intensity that he brings to the huddle, and I

825
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: love that. Well, he's a little light in the pants

826
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 1: for that though, wolf Right, I mean he's not a

827
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 1: blocking tight end. He's two twenty. Yeah, but Polly, you

828
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: know what, you don't have to be big to stick

829
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: your face into the fire. You just have to want

830
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: to stick your face into the fire. And he actually

831
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: shows a little want to stick his face into the fire.

832
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: And for that our respective greatly. Well, who knows what
