Speaker 1: do we do. We just waved to the rest of
Speaker 1: the country for the next eight months. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what.
Speaker 4: Everyone wave hello as we introduce a young man who's
Speaker 4: going to be the answer to a trivia question the
Speaker 4: rest of his life.
Speaker 1: Ooh, the first.
Speaker 4: Player to take the first ever dynamic kickoff to the house. Yes,
Speaker 4: DJ Dallas is our guest tonight, DJ welcome.
Speaker 5: How's it going?
Speaker 4: How uh you know? We interviewed you after the game, right,
Speaker 4: and then you went to your phone, like how many
Speaker 4: text messages did you have on your phone when you
Speaker 4: finally fired it up after the game?
Speaker 6: I had a lot, but there was only you know,
Speaker 6: one that I cared about. Dude, tell it was my
Speaker 6: boys from and my wife back at home. So I
Speaker 6: didn't really care about.
Speaker 5: The text messages. I just went straight to face times.
Speaker 4: Now that deserves a clappery.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about right there. Okay, so let
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about this kickoff return. The thing
Speaker 1: that I love the most is you were running north
Speaker 1: at one thousand miles an hour and everyone else is
Speaker 1: running south at one thousand miles an hour, and you
Speaker 1: stoked it right up the middle. Did it go where
Speaker 1: you designed the kickoff return to go?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it hit sort of where we wanted
Speaker 6: it to hit. I think with this new kickoff rule
Speaker 6: is really about like mentality and Coach Rodgers and JG
Speaker 6: they dialed that up.
Speaker 5: You know, we had that up preseason.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and we got repsetted and we repped it and
Speaker 6: it's a return that we know really well. And yeah,
Speaker 6: it's like I said, it's about mentality. It's really about
Speaker 6: like running through the dark crease and as a returner,
Speaker 6: that's what you really have to, you know, lock in
Speaker 6: and do it.
Speaker 1: You know what I loved about that too. If you're
Speaker 1: listening right now, it's execution. You hear this word a
Speaker 1: lot execution. We've got to execute better. When you think
Speaker 1: of DJ's kickoff return, it was executed to me perfectly,
Speaker 1: so many different levels. And the fact that you add
Speaker 1: the wherewithal to stoke it right up between the railroad tracks,
Speaker 1: between the hashes, stoke it right up the middle of
Speaker 1: the field, and then burst it to the outside. You
Speaker 1: had the speed to take it to the house. I
Speaker 1: did not know that about you. I did not know
Speaker 1: you had the wheels. That's something you've always known, correct.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I knew that I could run a little bit.
Speaker 6: But I tell you no, lie, when I got to
Speaker 6: the fifteen, I was like, oh, I hope I got
Speaker 6: enough jews to get there.
Speaker 5: I hope.
Speaker 1: So you were you were feeling it right?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, Right at the fifteen I was just like, yeah,
Speaker 6: this is gonna hurt a little.
Speaker 4: Bit, and we're going to revisit it in detail a
Speaker 4: little bit later. We're going to hear the call Passion
Speaker 4: Wolf on the call, and I want to get into
Speaker 4: the whole thing. Why you decided to wrap it and
Speaker 4: not hide it. I think we just got the answer,
Speaker 4: but there was the media guy afterwards. You're truly me
Speaker 4: asking jeez, how long were you guys hiding that one, Well,
Speaker 4: they weren't hiding it at all, Ron Wolfley, as you know,
Speaker 4: and boom you saw the results. So with about execution. Now,
Speaker 4: as for the Cardinals, man, it was sort of like
Speaker 4: two games in one. It was Week one, yep, but
Speaker 4: there was a seventeen to three league and then there
Speaker 4: was Josh Allen and the Bills. By the way, that's
Speaker 4: the forty first straight regular season game the Bills have
Speaker 4: not lost by more than six points, meaning they've won
Speaker 4: the majority of them, and when they have lost, it's
Speaker 4: been a one score game. So that is a juggernaut
Speaker 4: in the regular season.
Speaker 1: Buffalo, Yeah, you know, and I think to the Buffalo Bills,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna surprise anybody, and most people
Speaker 1: are are looking at the Bills as a playoff team
Speaker 1: of course coming up this year. Not only that, I
Speaker 1: think they're gonna win the AFC East. Okay, I think.
Speaker 4: They're gonna win the done it four years straight.
Speaker 1: Yep, done it four years straight. I think they're gonna
Speaker 1: win it again. I know there's a lot of question
Speaker 1: marks over some of their secondary moves and things of
Speaker 1: that nature to the DBS, of course, but to me,
Speaker 1: I think they've got what it takes to win the
Speaker 1: AFC East. And having said that, this is a playoff
Speaker 1: caliber team, and we went up there and you know what,
Speaker 1: dominated the first half, then the Bills dominated the second half.
Speaker 1: It all came down to one possession at the end
Speaker 1: of a game. If you would have told me, Poet
Speaker 1: that it was gonna come down to that scenario the
Speaker 1: Cardinals take the ball on their own forty yard line
Speaker 1: with a minute fifty six to go and three timeouts,
Speaker 1: I would have said sold. If you told me it
Speaker 1: was gonna come down to that possession scoring a touchdown,
Speaker 1: if you kick the extra point, you win the game.
Speaker 1: I'd have taken that all day.
Speaker 4: What's the vibe been like in the locker room, what
Speaker 4: was the vibe like on the team playing? What's the
Speaker 4: vibe been like on the practice field after a thirty
Speaker 4: four to twenty eight loss.
Speaker 6: I think, well, a few different different, you know, vibes
Speaker 6: from like day after the game. Everybody was like, dang,
Speaker 6: like we probably should have won that game, you know,
Speaker 6: But after we got in on Monday and really like
Speaker 6: locked into like the film and looked at what we
Speaker 6: could have done better and where we went wrong. JG
Speaker 6: brought us all up and said, look, man, it's time
Speaker 6: to move on. It's time to move on because we
Speaker 6: are you know, for us to do what we want
Speaker 6: to do, we got to win the NFC with you know,
Speaker 6: and it starts on Sunday against the Rams, so you know,
Speaker 6: it's just moving on and you know, putting the Rams
Speaker 6: on our brain and leaving Buffalo off our brain.
Speaker 4: And in order to beat the Rams, beat LA, maybe
Speaker 4: beat down LA, you got to have that consistent offense
Speaker 4: for four quarters. And the offensive coordinator Drew Petsen was
Speaker 4: talking about.
Speaker 7: That the thing that we preach and the thing that
Speaker 7: we need to work towards, this consistency that we don't
Speaker 7: have lows, that we don't have halves like we did
Speaker 7: in the second half where we kind of you know,
Speaker 7: a couple three and ounce to turnover like that can't
Speaker 7: be our calling card. We need to put it together
Speaker 7: four quarters if we're going to go win games, and
Speaker 7: we weren't able to do that. So I think that's
Speaker 7: going to be the focus here this week is just
Speaker 7: trying to find that consistency and make sure that we're
Speaker 7: doing the things to put ourselves in a position to
Speaker 7: have those two quarters for four.
Speaker 4: I mean those first three drives there were two thirteen
Speaker 4: play touchdown drives. You were five or your first seven
Speaker 4: on third down, right, you're running it and passing. What
Speaker 4: was clicking on those first three position? And DJ is
Speaker 4: anything you can bottle up or refer to going forward
Speaker 4: from that? The first part of the first half, I
Speaker 4: feel like.
Speaker 6: We came out, we came out really hot, and everything
Speaker 6: was clicking. I mean, the run was clicking, the past
Speaker 6: was clicking. K K one looked amazing, and he looked
Speaker 6: amazing all game. But you know, uh, just everybody has
Speaker 6: to do their individual job and when their individual one
Speaker 6: on one, and we just got to do a lot
Speaker 6: more that in the in the second half.
Speaker 1: You know, for me, in that first half, and I'm
Speaker 1: an old school guy, you probably figured that out already,
Speaker 1: But to me, there were eight snaps you guys took
Speaker 1: from under center in the first half, and you didn't
Speaker 1: take one in the second half. There was no snaps
Speaker 1: from under center. Why was that? Was there any explanation
Speaker 1: given to you on that or just a situation where
Speaker 1: there were blitzing bringing pressure in the second half. Do
Speaker 1: you know why that is?
Speaker 6: Uh, I'm not sure, but I think Drew, you know,
Speaker 6: I trust Drew and uh, whatever he sees, we're going
Speaker 6: to run it. So yeah, like you said, you're you're
Speaker 6: I mean, you're kind of the saying we like that
Speaker 6: old school football.
Speaker 5: So I can see why going in the gun a
Speaker 5: lot is you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know. One of the things I'd love to
Speaker 1: see us do, Polly, is it really attack the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage against the Rams this week. And I would
Speaker 1: love to see us actually line up and go with
Speaker 1: a little twelve, maybe even a little thirteen, maybe even
Speaker 1: a little twenty one. Where's Jesse. Would gotta bring him
Speaker 1: out and just hammer that box because that's exactly what
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions did to the Rams.
Speaker 4: Now, look, JG did tell us after the game that
Speaker 4: the Bills started loading the box. That was one adjustment
Speaker 4: they made. They start bringing run blitzes. You called that
Speaker 4: out on the broadcast. Yeah, could that have done something?
Speaker 4: He also lost your starting right tackle.
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it, Pally, all of that factored
Speaker 1: into it. It really did. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: you still got to be able to run the ball,
Speaker 1: even if they are coming with some rundown stuff.
Speaker 4: In fact, here's Kyler Murray this week talking about losing
Speaker 4: Jonah Williams. Man, that was rough. Last play of the
Speaker 4: first quarter. Down goes Jonah Williams. He's on IR for now.
Speaker 4: Don't know the long term status yet. Good news is
Speaker 4: Calvin Beachum, in his thirteenth season, has been there and
Speaker 4: done that for many years. Here's k one.
Speaker 8: It hurts, you know anytime you're starting. You know, when
Speaker 8: you're starting, the lineman go down. But beach has played
Speaker 8: I don't know what year this is. I always joke
Speaker 8: about how he's, you know, everybody's grandpa, but uh no,
Speaker 8: he's he's you know, he's great though, played a ton
Speaker 8: of football. You know, I've obviously been around him, you know,
Speaker 8: for quite some time now, so I'm very comfortable with
Speaker 8: him being in the game. But yeah, man, just very
Speaker 8: unfortunate and tough for Jonah to go out, especially the
Speaker 8: way he was playing, you know, to begin that game.
Speaker 4: I mean, he's like thirty four and he's getting called grandpa.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: Calvin Beacham he owned it with the media today, okay,
Speaker 4: and he said, it's tough when the head coach calls
Speaker 4: you grandpa in front of the whole room. So dj
Speaker 4: he gets that a lot.
Speaker 5: Apparently.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's he's like a wizard in there, like we're
Speaker 6: all you know, you ever seen to the Ring?
Speaker 5: Sure?
Speaker 4: Sure, well we like to joke, only half joke, that
Speaker 4: he's going to be governor or CEO at some point.
Speaker 6: It is no doubt Beach is probably gonna be chill.
Speaker 6: He might even beat the president.
Speaker 1: I told him to his face, I vote for him. No,
Speaker 1: I don't care what parties what I vote for him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just Beach. So you were going to say, you
Speaker 1: were going to say, have you ever seen Lord of
Speaker 1: the Rings? Oh, you're a Lord of the Rings fan
Speaker 1: of oh a little j r r to Okay, so
Speaker 1: do you call him Gandalf?
Speaker 5: That's a good one. Start calling him.
Speaker 4: You know what, you guys have a lot in common.
Speaker 4: Both Round four draft picks, both excel on special teams,
Speaker 4: both a little bit old school physical style. The opponents
Speaker 4: don't like either one of you. We'll get into that
Speaker 4: a little bit later. And you're both fans of Lord
Speaker 4: of the Rings. That's right, I see where this is going.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: Single game tickets on now go to Eazycardinals dot com.
Speaker 4: Slash buy tickets to secure your seats. Today we'll get
Speaker 4: into that kickoff return for a touchdown with DJ Dallas
Speaker 4: on the Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford and
Speaker 4: Gilbert Live at Trophy and Chandler. This one hangs in
Speaker 4: the air.
Speaker 3: It'll make it past the twenty, but it's taken on
Speaker 3: the five yard line by Dallas up the middle ten
Speaker 3: twenty thirty thirty five Dallas to the forty, breaks of
Speaker 3: backle bar, side of midfield, forty five to forty Dallas
Speaker 3: thirty five thirty twenty five, twenty Dallas to the ten
Speaker 3: to the five, dives into the end zone, pends.
Speaker 4: A touchdown for the Cardinals.
Speaker 5: A kickoff return for.
Speaker 3: A score and Arizona's right back in the game.
Speaker 9: The wind knocked the pig out of the air and
Speaker 9: DJ Dallas had the opportunity to return that ball hit
Speaker 9: the hole doing one hundred miles an hour, made some
Speaker 9: great decisions running the ball. Oh my goodness, what our
Speaker 9: great play by DJ Dallas.
Speaker 4: Well, if I can just envision you up in the booth,
Speaker 4: having gone to four Pro Bowls as a special teams ace,
Speaker 4: you were standing and jumping around. I mean you must
Speaker 4: have bolted out of your seat, pretty jacked up. Poly
Speaker 4: really was right there. But you know what, it's not
Speaker 4: a surprise. I saw DJ return the ball in the
Speaker 4: preseason and he was stoking it then running over dudes.
Speaker 4: All right, So as a first dynamic kickoff return touchdown ever,
Speaker 4: we talked about that first kickoff return touchdown by a
Speaker 4: Cardinals since twenty fifteen, David Johnson, first kickoff return touchdown
Speaker 4: in an NFL season opener since twenty eighteen, and the
Speaker 4: first Cardinals kickoff return touchdown in a season opener for
Speaker 4: the Cardinals since nineteen fifty four.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: And just so you know, DJ, the last time any
Speaker 4: Cardinal had back to back games of kickoff return touchdowns
Speaker 4: was that same year, nineteen fifty four. Now my question
Speaker 4: to you is, do you think you'll ever see another
Speaker 4: kickoff returner? Are they going to touch back it on?
Speaker 4: You touched thirty? Going forward?
Speaker 5: Hopefully we see some more.
Speaker 6: I've got I've I set some pretty big goals this year,
Speaker 6: so hopefully we see some more.
Speaker 5: But man, I'm blessed. That's that's crazy.
Speaker 1: So what was it like catching the pig in that wind?
Speaker 1: Because that looked like it it got knocked right out
Speaker 1: of the air.
Speaker 6: So there was one before that, like right before the
Speaker 6: half that I kind of bobbled a little bit, but
Speaker 6: the kicker mishit it and they were trying to drive
Speaker 6: it through the win instead of like leaving it up
Speaker 6: to hang and you know, giving us a chance to
Speaker 6: return it. But yeah, man, that that win in Buffalo
Speaker 6: was crazy, Like you you couldn't judge it. So like
Speaker 6: like I think it was like going.
Speaker 5: Into like the scoreboard, it would the ball would get caught.
Speaker 6: Up in the wind, but then going away from it,
Speaker 6: it would catch the win and just go into the stand.
Speaker 5: So it was oh, yeah.
Speaker 1: For sure.
Speaker 4: So in hindsight, the fact you guys did run it
Speaker 4: in the preseason, how integral How key was that to
Speaker 4: returning it all the way? Was it the reps it
Speaker 4: allowed you guys to execute it to such a high level.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it was.
Speaker 6: It really comes down to like chemistry of all eleven
Speaker 6: guys and you know there's two returners and then nine
Speaker 6: other guys that have to you know, block, and uh,
Speaker 6: it came down to just you know, Coach Rodgers dialing
Speaker 6: it up, the chemistry of the guys that we have
Speaker 6: on that team and Uh yeah, man in trust.
Speaker 4: Speaking to coach Rogers here, he is big picture on
Speaker 4: why the Cardinals went after DJ Dallas in free agency
Speaker 4: and then talking about his return style as well.
Speaker 10: I know how our guys felt tackling him and what
Speaker 10: you see on tape.
Speaker 1: And he is a big player with.
Speaker 10: The ball in his hand, and he runs fast and
Speaker 10: he has a physical run style, and he challenges people.
Speaker 10: He can be evasive, but he probably seek contact more
Speaker 10: than he's running away from it. And he showed up
Speaker 10: again in week one.
Speaker 4: Let's let's go to the joint practices because Wolf and
Speaker 4: I were there the Apolis and it was the I
Speaker 4: think it was the very first kick. Yeah, in the
Speaker 4: eleven and eleven kick return traill. You take it from there, Dj,
Speaker 4: what happened because we heard it as well as saw it.
Speaker 5: Uh So, I don't know.
Speaker 1: They were.
Speaker 6: Indianapolis was just like, I don't know, they were just
Speaker 6: talking a lot of trash. And I caught the first kick,
Speaker 6: and you know it was supposed to be you know,
Speaker 6: like a touch period or whatever. And the guy he
Speaker 6: tried to put his shoulder into me, and I just
Speaker 6: tried to just run right through him. You Jack, That's
Speaker 6: what I told coach Rogers, I'm like, man, I'm just
Speaker 6: defending myself just and.
Speaker 1: The other guy paid for it. Yeah, yeah, he made
Speaker 1: the decision. No, I saw that. I saw that play.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I was standing behind it
Speaker 1: when I saw it. And yet there was a scrum
Speaker 1: that formed after that, all right, A couple of them.
Speaker 1: And you were in both those scrums. Interesting.
Speaker 4: I think every time you touched going forward there was
Speaker 4: a scrum.
Speaker 11: He look, I don't yeah, yeah, okay, But you know what,
Speaker 11: this is the thing that I want to talk to
Speaker 11: you about because we were talking a little bit before
Speaker 11: the broadcast and you were talking about mentality, and you've
Speaker 11: been talking about mentality.
Speaker 1: Give me your mentality. What what is your mentality when
Speaker 1: you play the game of football? Uh?
Speaker 5: You know, I kind of like the.
Speaker 6: I watched The Gladiator before every game, do you Yeah?
Speaker 5: And uh, I just kind of like the channel.
Speaker 1: Dead Wait a minute, not entertained. Yeah, you watch that.
Speaker 5: I like the channel debt.
Speaker 6: That's what I tap into, Like, you know, it's it's
Speaker 6: me versus you, and it's killer be killed at that point,
Speaker 6: you know, So I tap into that and the rest
Speaker 6: is I just let.
Speaker 1: The rest, So do you have a do you have
Speaker 1: a pre game ritual type thing that you go through
Speaker 1: that are you very ordered structured or is it a
Speaker 1: little chaotic? No?
Speaker 5: Chaos is is the best?
Speaker 6: Feel like like my pregame. Nothing stays the same throughout.
Speaker 5: You know, like the year.
Speaker 6: I feel like I thrive when there's it's not like
Speaker 6: as structured as like you know other players. But uh,
Speaker 6: one thing I did take from Gladiator is, you know,
Speaker 6: being where my feet are and being in the moment.
Speaker 6: And you know the scene where he enters the arena
Speaker 6: and he grabs the dirt or no, the first ward
Speaker 6: the first battle scene where he grabs the dirt.
Speaker 5: He picks up the dirt.
Speaker 6: And he rubs it in his hands, And that symbolized
Speaker 6: to me like be where your feet are.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 6: And I take that and I do it like every game,
Speaker 6: like you will see me. I grab a piece of
Speaker 6: the grass and I just rub it just where my
Speaker 6: feet are.
Speaker 1: Okay, this this guy might be my soul mad here
Speaker 1: right context. Okay, the only reason why you say that
Speaker 1: is lambeau Field. Every time I go up to lambeau Field,
Speaker 1: I grab the grass and rip it up and I
Speaker 1: stuff it in my pot. Yeah, stuff it in there.
Speaker 4: Didn't you used to lick the pigskin? Didn't you actually
Speaker 4: used too? Okay, let's not talk about that.
Speaker 1: I told you. Okay.
Speaker 4: Uh, you know what threes company, You know what someone
Speaker 4: else who shares that same mindset. He was our guest
Speaker 4: last week, Dennis Garda act.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: He told a little story about the two of you.
Speaker 4: How you guys met in Week eighteen last year and
Speaker 4: things got a little chippy, little rooting in a tuting.
Speaker 4: Here's the play and then the comments about it. Dennis
Speaker 4: gard Ac.
Speaker 3: DJ Dallas scoops it up in the thirty five and
Speaker 3: he gets absolutely crushed by Gardack at the forty yard line.
Speaker 3: They're still cleaning up DJ Dallas in front of the
Speaker 3: Cardinal bench.
Speaker 4: So when the Cardinals signed DJ Dallas and you run
Speaker 4: into him for the first time at the team facility,
Speaker 4: is there a moment where it's a little awkward at
Speaker 4: that point?
Speaker 12: Definitely, because there's more than just that a history with
Speaker 12: me and DJ. We've been battling for the years, so
Speaker 12: it's cool to have him on our side. He's a
Speaker 12: he's a tough nose downhill runner in the return game,
Speaker 12: and he's great to have on our side. But there
Speaker 12: was like a mutual respect.
Speaker 4: All right, So awkward or not awkward when the guy
Speaker 4: you mixed it up with you meet him a few
Speaker 4: months later and now your teammates.
Speaker 6: No, so yeah, it was definitely it was definitely awkward
Speaker 6: at first.
Speaker 5: And uh I remember walking in, I'm like, are we
Speaker 5: good now? Are we good now? So yeah, no, I.
Speaker 6: Got so much respect for Dennis, just battling with him,
Speaker 6: like for my whole career.
Speaker 5: Like, yeah, man, he's he's an ultimate competitor.
Speaker 6: That's the only thing I can say about Dennis, Like
Speaker 6: he's he's what you want in a in a in
Speaker 6: a ball player.
Speaker 1: You know, if you if you had to pick, what
Speaker 1: are the character traits of a great return man? Do
Speaker 1: you think there are there are some common denominators things
Speaker 1: you could look at between great return men? What are
Speaker 1: those commony? What makes up a great return man in
Speaker 1: the national football I think it.
Speaker 6: Only really comes comes down to one thing. Rather it
Speaker 6: be like the old rules or the new rules, Like
Speaker 6: you gotta be fearless, man, you gotta you gotta be fearless.
Speaker 6: You gotta be able to like go into that kind
Speaker 6: of that dark place and just say, man, I'm gonna
Speaker 6: throw caution into the wind and catch this ball and
Speaker 6: I'm gonna run into a crease that's a couple of inches,
Speaker 6: you know, and hope for the best.
Speaker 1: You just accept that it's something you've got to accept.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so you're not thinking about it when you're
Speaker 1: actually trying to do Now.
Speaker 6: I go into every every return thinking like I'm gonna
Speaker 6: get hit like this, it is what it is at
Speaker 6: this point.
Speaker 5: But if I don't get hit, I'm gonna hit somebody.
Speaker 4: Well, you've been returning kicksing puns since high school, right Yeah.
Speaker 4: And by the way, Wolf, if you didn't know this,
Speaker 4: he went to the seventh oldest public high school in
Speaker 4: the country. It was founded in seventeen eighty eight, the
Speaker 4: Glen Academy in Brunswick, Georgia, about an hour north of Jacksonville.
Speaker 4: What was that experience?
Speaker 6: Like, uh, South Georgia, man is man, it's I don't know.
Speaker 6: You gotta be from South Georgia to like really understand
Speaker 6: what it's like to grow up there. And uh man,
Speaker 6: going to Glen Academy, Uh was the best four years
Speaker 6: of my young adult life.
Speaker 1: Okay, So what is Brunswick STU. Oh yeah, yeah, is

Speaker 3: and it's caught for a touchdown by Wilson Tyler Murray
Speaker 3: keeping that play alive and then lobbing it to an
Speaker 3: open Wilson. But Cartin will score the first touchdown of
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four. Shotgun Snap hands it off to Connor
Speaker 3: running right into.
Speaker 4: The end zone for the touchdown.
Speaker 1: Bang on the shield and roar, Oh my goodness. The
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals right now operating here in this first half
Speaker 1: James Connor stoking it with a little dip and riff.
Speaker 4: A little kramed vertical there in a goal line situation
Speaker 4: as he scores James Connor in Buffalo, and we have
Speaker 4: a member of the running back room. I bring that
Speaker 4: up because Trey Benson was sort of the feature back
Speaker 4: on that drive. James Connor, he had the punctuation with
Speaker 4: a touchdown. He came immediately sideline. He grabbed Trey Benson,
Speaker 4: sort of tapped him up, said, man, that was your drive.
Speaker 4: I just finished it. I thought that was great, kind
Speaker 4: of gave the rookie some confidence. I thought that was
Speaker 4: really cool by a team captain. It's a big red
Speaker 4: rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert. Were live at
Speaker 4: Trophy and Chandler on Queen Creek Road just east of
Speaker 4: Price and our feature guest tonight, DJ Dallas. What's it
Speaker 4: like in that running back room and what sort of
Speaker 4: snacks have you tasked Trey Benson, the rookie, with providing
Speaker 4: on a daily basis.
Speaker 5: Oh? Man, uh no.
Speaker 6: Our rooms, Our rooms dynamic. We We've got a super
Speaker 6: dynamic room.
Speaker 5: You know. As you know, James is our leader and
Speaker 5: we go as he goes.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, j C is the leader, Trey the young buck.
Speaker 6: You know, we gotta keep him on the straight and
Speaker 6: arrow all the time.
Speaker 5: And then he got.
Speaker 6: A valuable, valuable second year guy in Imari Marcado. Uh
Speaker 6: and shot, we can't forget Mike Carter.
Speaker 5: Mike Carter's still on that round.
Speaker 6: So uh yeah, we we we've got a super dynamic room.
Speaker 6: Our room jails really well. And uh yeah, we're we're
Speaker 6: just trying to you know, totter up.
Speaker 1: Who's the Who's the funniest guy in that running back bro?
Speaker 6: Probably Mike Michael Carter, Yeah, probably Mike Sure.
Speaker 1: Just the loudest in that room.
Speaker 5: Loudest.
Speaker 6: I don't think we really got too many like loud
Speaker 6: like raw raw guys. Like I think we're all about
Speaker 6: business mostly, and uh we we get in and we
Speaker 6: we handle our business and we you know, we laugh
Speaker 6: and joke, but we're we're we're more so like business oriented.
Speaker 4: Right, So your first four in Seattle, all right, we
Speaker 4: don't like the Seahawks, but we love former Seahawks like you. Okay,
Speaker 4: that's the best kind of Seahawks, a former Seahawks. So
Speaker 4: you know the division really well, no doubt do you
Speaker 4: have an Aaron Donald's story. What was the like going
Speaker 4: against Aaron Donald? You know, I know the Cardinals would
Speaker 4: specifically game plan for ninety nine every time they would
Speaker 4: play the Rams.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 6: My wife's over there, but yeah, no, I think it
Speaker 6: was my I want to say it was my second
Speaker 6: year and it was like a two minute.
Speaker 5: Drive and.
Speaker 6: The play got called dead, but you know how like
Speaker 6: the defense still goes and the ball kind of gets snapped,
Speaker 6: but the rests are still blowing to whistle.
Speaker 5: I get the ball thrown at me.
Speaker 6: I think Gino throws the ball at me to my feet,
Speaker 6: and Aaron Donald just picks me up and just walks
Speaker 6: me probably about ten yards away, and then I can
Speaker 6: never live it down. She's always like you remember when
Speaker 6: Aaron Donald put you on his hip and walked you
Speaker 6: down the field.
Speaker 1: My man, that's awesome. That's funny.
Speaker 4: Well, you don't have to worry about Aaron Donald because
Speaker 4: he retired and his next stop is the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4: Here's Kyler Murray on facing the Rams minus ninety nine.
Speaker 8: I mean, there's still obviously well coached, got a lot
Speaker 8: of great young players out there to play super hard.
Speaker 8: Those things are a mess. You know, any d line
Speaker 8: that plays really hard and tries to get up to
Speaker 8: the quarterback the way they do this is gonna be
Speaker 8: a tough matchup for you. But yeah, man, he's in
Speaker 8: my eyes, the best of all time. So it's definitely
Speaker 8: you know, glad that he's not gonna be out there
Speaker 8: on Sunday for sure.
Speaker 4: Well, for really simple question, can the Cardinals pick up
Speaker 4: where the Lions left off in overtime?
Speaker 1: Oh? Man, that is something that I'm really looking at
Speaker 1: in this poly I really am. The Detroit Lions lined
Speaker 1: up and they hammered the Los Angeles Rams. They did Now,
Speaker 1: they ran the ball thirty one times. They averaged over
Speaker 1: five yards a kerry. David Montgomery, of course, ran the
Speaker 1: ball very very hard. You gotta love watching David Montgomery.
Speaker 5: Noh yeah, he's one of my favorites run the ball.
Speaker 1: Really. You remind me of him a little bit in
Speaker 1: terms of how you run the ball, right. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I try to bring that Jews.
Speaker 1: Like you, and I'd love to see this. If the
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals can line up and attack cram it vertical,
Speaker 1: as JG likes to say, if we can attack in
Speaker 1: a north south way and really commit to doing it. Now,
Speaker 1: that means the defense has got to go out there
Speaker 1: and ball out as well. You've got to be in
Speaker 1: the game to stay balanced. And I'd love to see
Speaker 1: us attack and continue to attack that line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: Knowing the Rams are coming off a very, very physical game.
Speaker 1: I think that plays into our hands because guess what,
Speaker 1: we're a physical team as well.
Speaker 4: You know you mentioned his playing style. Buddha Baker was
Speaker 4: asked today about the impact of DJ Dallas.
Speaker 13: Of course, playing against Seattle, DJ was a third down
Speaker 13: back that you know they used to block a us,
Speaker 13: so when I would come in on pressures, he'd be
Speaker 13: trying to, you know, run into me, you know, so
Speaker 13: he he is a great blocker back then, and to
Speaker 13: just have him here. He's a guy who understands his role,
Speaker 13: plays his role at a high level. But ultimately they're
Speaker 13: up and he got that touchdown to force the game
Speaker 13: into a one score situation. So that definitely brought the
Speaker 13: spark to our team, right.
Speaker 4: So we saw the Colts reactor to you and the
Speaker 4: joint practices. Wolf would have these rivalries, you guys have
Speaker 4: a lot in common. Okay, we'll play ten years and
Speaker 4: he got to know. Let's just say, you got to
Speaker 4: know the division opponents real well, and they didn't like Wolf. No,
Speaker 4: when you play the Rams, is there gonna be some
Speaker 4: I don't know, some background.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I don't like I don't like the Rams.
Speaker 6: I don't like the Seahawks. I don't like the forty
Speaker 6: nine ers. They can all get it, you know. So yeah,
Speaker 6: on Sunday, it's gonna be lights out.
Speaker 1: Okay. That is one of the one of the things
Speaker 1: too that I really I think you are uniquely built
Speaker 1: the way that you're belt. Right now, for anyone that's listening,
Speaker 1: give me your exact weight, your height, and your weight
Speaker 1: right right now.
Speaker 6: Height and weight right now. I am five eleven to
Speaker 6: twenty seven.
Speaker 1: Okay, five eleven, two hundred and twenty seven pounds, Paul,
Speaker 1: that's almost two thirty right there. Okay. Have you ever
Speaker 1: hit a man who's five eleven, two hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: seven pounds?
Speaker 4: I never played past high school. So no, here's here's.
Speaker 1: What I'm for. Anyone out there that you might find
Speaker 1: yourself on a football field and there's a guy who's
Speaker 1: five eleven, two hundred and twenty seven pounds, you better
Speaker 1: get underneath them. See, the problem is it's hard to
Speaker 1: get underneath the guy who's five eleven, two hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty seven pounds, especially when he's built like DJ where
Speaker 1: he's got a base, a huge base. It's hard to
Speaker 1: get in. It's one of the reasons why you can
Speaker 1: truck dudes. Correct.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that in the weight room.
Speaker 1: That in the waight room.
Speaker 5: How much do you squad this summer? I think we
Speaker 5: got up to like four seventy five.
Speaker 1: Okay, four seventy five.
Speaker 5: Yeah, nothing too great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not You're not out there trying today. You're
Speaker 1: not trying to be a powerlifter. No, yeah, for seventy
Speaker 1: time you're This is what makes you special, no doubt.
Speaker 1: How much does that help you in blitz pick up?
Speaker 6: Uh? Yeah, the technique and you know you can you
Speaker 6: can get away with a lot of stuff.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 6: When you're you got the mentality of just like man,
Speaker 6: you're not gonna get behind me, and uh is me
Speaker 6: versus you mono imano. I'm gonna win regardless. I don't
Speaker 6: care if you're six seven or five seven.
Speaker 4: You know, so you're gonna bust.
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: That's the great thing about the game of football as well, right, DJ,
Speaker 1: no doubt. It really doesn't matter how big you are.
Speaker 1: Some of the bigger guys are kind of soft. Bigger guys, right,
Speaker 1: have you ever met a guy like that? Bigger guys
Speaker 1: can actually be soft. Because you're big doesn't mean you're bad.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they passed the look tests and then they don't
Speaker 6: pass the heart check.
Speaker 1: You get all.
Speaker 5: Yeah, a little blood running down their nose yep, not
Speaker 5: air tucking air tail.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: That was my pregame speech as a little league manager
Speaker 4: was Okay, we play these teams. Looks like they had
Speaker 4: HGH and the gatorade bucket. These teams were huge, and
Speaker 4: I tell the kids bigger isn't better? Better is better?
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, let's go play better ball.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 4: And then we get run rolled by the third in
Speaker 4: seventeen to four. But still it was a good speech.
Speaker 4: It was really a good speed you speaking of Jonathan Gannon,
Speaker 4: you guys, you know we'll mentioned already. Is that part
Speaker 4: of what attracted you to Arizona?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: What is it about him and his style? He just
Speaker 4: he has that infectious energy. Is it anything like Pete
Speaker 4: Carroll was in a way?
Speaker 6: Yeah, So it's a younger, super fine tune enthused version
Speaker 6: of what I had in Seattle. Cool and uh yeah, man,
Speaker 6: I love j G. Brow That's that's my guy.
Speaker 1: And you know what. JG loves the physicality. I was
Speaker 1: talking to you about this. He likes talking to you too.
Speaker 1: He encourages you, gets you fired up. And not only that,
Speaker 1: I saw him walking off the field a couple of
Speaker 1: times with you in Indianapolis. It was really cool.
Speaker 4: Sorry, No, we've heard the kickoff return in English right
Speaker 4: now we're gonna hear the play by play in Spanish.
Speaker 4: And what Louis Hernandez did with it. I think you're
Speaker 4: gonna like his little spin on him. It's the Big
Speaker 4: Red Rage with DJ Dallas presented by santan Port and
Speaker 4: Gilbert at Trophy and Chandler on Queen Creek Road. Just
Speaker 4: the surprise didn't dig So there's no what is.
Speaker 14: The fightess to aquanataa holo guess dija.
Speaker 1: Sand ye?
Speaker 4: All right, So Jim Alendro not only did he pull
Speaker 4: that Louis Hernandez Spanish radio. By the way, how about
Speaker 4: the Iron Man Award. Louis Hernandez called the entire game
Speaker 4: by himself. Yeah, because of a medical situation to his analyst.
Speaker 4: So I mean you talk about someone who put in
Speaker 4: a week one, Luis, I mean props to you. Anyway,
Speaker 4: The ending translates as, let the DJ spin the tunes
Speaker 4: for me. How about that?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, he was, he was on it. He
Speaker 5: was on it.
Speaker 4: DJ Dallas is our guest. We're wrapping up this edition
Speaker 4: of The Big Red Rage, presented by santan Ford and
Speaker 4: Gilbert Live at Trophy and Chandler on Queen Creek Road
Speaker 4: just east of Price. And look, you take a look
Speaker 4: at this Rams team, right and Wolf by the way,
Speaker 4: you see we got our keys to the game this year.
Speaker 4: We actually have the actual key with the key chain. Okay,
Speaker 4: so we gone next level? All right, Okay, that's what
Speaker 4: you did, right And by the way, it reminds me,
Speaker 4: I forgot my Angry Bird Award. I was gonna bring
Speaker 4: the Angry Bird Award and I stinking forgot it. And
Speaker 4: not that I can give it to you because I
Speaker 4: only have one, but you, I know you're the proud
Speaker 4: winner this week of the Angry Bird Award that we
Speaker 4: give out for the most talacious play or player each
Speaker 4: week of the season. And because of that kickoff return
Speaker 4: et cetera. So I know that's, you know, proud moment
Speaker 4: for you as I move it along. So you take
Speaker 4: a look at this Rams team and what stands out
Speaker 4: to you? Let me tell let me ask you this,
Speaker 4: Kyron Williams. I mean, this guy had a heck of
Speaker 4: a season last year, second team All Pro running back
Speaker 4: beyond Christian McCaffrey. How much have you watched his game?
Speaker 4: How much other running backs in the NFL? Do you
Speaker 4: watch their games? Do you study other running backs?
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's a good buddy of mine, and he's a
Speaker 6: great player. They've got a veteran quarterback with Matthew Stafford,
Speaker 6: who I grew up watching in Georgia.
Speaker 5: Sure as a bulldog. But yeah, man, they're a good team.
Speaker 5: They're a young team.
Speaker 6: You know, ninety nine is not on that team, so
Speaker 6: it's not gonna be the same team in my eyes,
Speaker 6: you know. So I think they're a good team. I
Speaker 6: think they're a good team. But I know that we're
Speaker 6: a good team.
Speaker 1: You know, you were talking a little bit about a
Speaker 1: great player, and Paul, you just mentioned some great players
Speaker 1: Kyrien Williams by way of example, what what makes a
Speaker 1: great player? In your opinion?
Speaker 5: I feel like all the greats.
Speaker 6: If you look at if you look at all the
Speaker 6: greats who we who we've given gold jackets to, and
Speaker 6: who who've had their their heads put in canton. Uh.
Speaker 6: I think all of those guys will tell you that
Speaker 6: a great player, what a great player is is a
Speaker 6: player that knows how to handle his business when the
Speaker 6: cards are kind of stacked against him. His body's not
Speaker 6: feeling the best, he's banged up, he doesn't feel good
Speaker 6: in a play, or or he's not you know, the
Speaker 6: focal point of the scheme. So I feel like that
Speaker 6: that's what it is like. The greats know how to
Speaker 6: how to be great when their chips are stacked against them.
Speaker 1: You have anything, you love?
Speaker 4: Anything you would tell Marvin Harrison Junior. You know this
Speaker 4: is your fifth year he's played, he's played one game,
Speaker 4: What would you tell him?
Speaker 5: Have fun? That's what I do. I try not to.
Speaker 6: I try to smile every game like it might be
Speaker 6: a it might be like a smile that don't really
Speaker 6: mean I'm happy.
Speaker 5: It might be a smile that mean I'm.
Speaker 6: Ready to ready to go do some real, real bad
Speaker 6: stuff to some people.
Speaker 1: But it's okay to do that. Between the white.
Speaker 5: No doubt, no doubt.
Speaker 4: But this smile means you're about to go gladiator.
Speaker 5: That's yes, yes, no doubt.
Speaker 6: But I would tell him, and I tell him every day,
Speaker 6: just continue to have fun because that's what it is.
Speaker 5: It's a game. It's a game.
Speaker 6: God put you on this earth and gave you the
Speaker 6: abilities that you have to go play this game and
Speaker 6: to have fun.
Speaker 4: Am I tell you it was Even Drew Petsen said
Speaker 4: he was a little surprised how much defensive attention they
Speaker 4: gave Marlin Herrison junior.
Speaker 6: Double my men first game, Like, dang, give him a break, yo, shoot,
Speaker 6: let him get his feet wet a little bit.
Speaker 1: So talk about some of the keys to the game
Speaker 1: as you see it in winning this game against the
Speaker 1: Rams coming up, What do you think you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to do? Well?
Speaker 6: We got to impose our will on special teams. Okay,
Speaker 6: impose our will on special teams because they've played as
Speaker 6: they played special teams. Real weird. But you know that's
Speaker 6: neither here nor there. Uh, run the ball.
Speaker 1: The ball, write that down. Okay, run the.
Speaker 5: Ball, pass the ball efficiently.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 5: And play good defense. That's it. Mardo's football. That's it.
Speaker 5: You've hit it all. We played Cardinals football.
Speaker 4: You mentioned how the Rams are young because of all
Speaker 4: the injuries. They played thirteen rookies in the season opener.
Speaker 4: Think about that. Wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: Here's Jonathan Gannon just his quick scatter report on the
Speaker 4: La Rams.
Speaker 15: They're a good football team. They play hard, they don't
Speaker 15: beat themselves. They're smart. You know, they got some weapons
Speaker 15: on offense, and their defense is you know, Chris Shule
Speaker 15: took over their sound. He put some wrinkles in, you know,
Speaker 15: because he just took over this year, and uh, they
Speaker 15: played good football.
Speaker 4: So last year I came up with the same Wolf
Speaker 4: doesn't like it. Okay, but it doesn't mean it isn't true.
Speaker 4: September is the new August, meaning so few teams play
Speaker 4: so few players in August. That's September. They're still figuring
Speaker 4: things out much like teams used to do in August.
Speaker 4: Do you agree with that?
Speaker 11: Uh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I could say that.
Speaker 4: I could say that some teams, some teams some week
Speaker 4: or two yea sort of get that idea.
Speaker 6: No doubt, And uh, I don't think that's true for us.
Speaker 6: I mean, I feel like our identity was set like
Speaker 6: shoot back in OTAs. I feel like, uh, you know,
Speaker 6: I was new, but I feel like our identity JG
Speaker 6: and the guys that are the leaders in the locker
Speaker 6: room kind of set that identity and that was on
Speaker 6: display on Sunday. But you know, some teams, you know,
Speaker 6: it takes them two weeks, three weeks, six weeks even because.
Speaker 5: You know, some teams start slow. And I don't. I
Speaker 5: don't think we're we've got that issue.
Speaker 1: There are still a lot of teams that they will
Speaker 1: play their starters in the season. There are still a
Speaker 1: lot of teams that to that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 1: You know, when Pete Carroll was up there, I believe
Speaker 1: he did it as well, did he not a couple
Speaker 1: of times? A couple of times. Yeah.
Speaker 5: It's you know, to get the to get the guys,
Speaker 5: you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not like you're getting thirty reps or anything
Speaker 1: out there in a game. But I guess what I'm
Speaker 1: saying is the league seems pretty split on that. Yeah, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: playing your starters are not playing your starters. So what
Speaker 1: do you think about that?
Speaker 5: I don't think it.
Speaker 6: I mean, the guys get so many reps in practice,
Speaker 6: like they get reps in practice that the same reps
Speaker 6: they get in the game. Maybe it's not the same exactly, look,
Speaker 6: but it's the same play.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean. So, I mean, I'm with JG.
Speaker 5: We didn't have to play on our starters and that
Speaker 5: that was good.
Speaker 6: I mean, we got the rest of our guys and
Speaker 6: they're primed and ready to go for week two.
Speaker 4: No, I gotta get an update because we had you
Speaker 4: on the Big Red Rage in the offseason. You mentioned
Speaker 4: OTA's didn't you mention your brother was training to be
Speaker 4: an army ranger.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's he's going to He's actually put in his
Speaker 6: packet for he's changing now. He's he's going to put
Speaker 6: in his uh self packet, So special Forces packet.
Speaker 4: By the way, Wolf, you remember he did that USO
Speaker 4: tour with Trey McBride. Like the best part about that
Speaker 4: story was they challenge you guys to like a fitness
Speaker 4: test at the end. Wasn't that the deal?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 4: All these military guys wanted a piece of the NFL
Speaker 4: guys in this fitness test.
Speaker 1: How'd that go?
Speaker 6: And you know, so I set myself up for for failure.
Speaker 6: So so they were taking us around, like to the
Speaker 6: different bases and we were like building camaraderie with the.
Speaker 5: Guys and girls. This is yes, in Poland, in Poland.
Speaker 6: So we're going to different cities and like different bases
Speaker 6: and uh like every base like they they're taking us
Speaker 6: to the gym and like its soldiers in there working out,
Speaker 6: and I'm like, man, I'm about to show these soldiers
Speaker 6: how I'm you know, So I'm I'm binging, I'm I'm
Speaker 6: squatting at every base almost and man, we get to
Speaker 6: like the next day. This is like one day. Then
Speaker 6: we get to the next day and it's time to
Speaker 6: do like a PT test and they're like, yeah, you
Speaker 6: gotta do all of this stuff. And then at the
Speaker 6: end they're like, yeah, you gotta run two miles, like
Speaker 6: two miles. I'm built for speed, not distance. And man,
Speaker 6: I died.
Speaker 5: I felt like I was gonna die on that in
Speaker 5: Poland with the army.
Speaker 4: And you didn't like the parogis.
Speaker 5: No. See, that's one thing, just one thing. You ask
Speaker 5: me what's my favorite food? I know what's my my
Speaker 5: least favorite food?
