Speaker 1: It's gonna be a show, and Ron will fleep. It
Speaker 1: doesn't get any better than that. Unleash the far well, well, well,
Speaker 1: I think we all know a certain someone who's feeling
Speaker 1: the effects of yesterday. Dare I say a certain well
Speaker 1: known somebody who's perhaps nursing an extra large hangover today
Speaker 1: who might have needed some help? Dare I say Wolf
Speaker 1: getting ahold of his sea legs? As are you talking
Speaker 1: about or no? I'm talking about the guy who thoroughly
Speaker 1: enjoyed his seventh Super Bowl victory celebration. Now that he
Speaker 1: doesn't have a coach who's actually at the podium the
Speaker 1: day or the days after winning a Super Bowl shouting
Speaker 1: no days off right. Instead, it's quite a different celebration.
Speaker 1: And he partook and maybe had a little too much yesterday.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about ba's quarterback TB twelve. Yeah, Tom Brady
Speaker 1: right there, Pobably, that was a little disconcerting. I've got
Speaker 1: to tell you that, Polly, especially the shot of him
Speaker 1: throwing the Lombardi Trophy from his boat. Of course, I
Speaker 1: would estimate some twenty feet Palli, some twenty feet in
Speaker 1: the air. And Cameron Bright, of course, is the guy
Speaker 1: that actually brought it down. But Rob Gronkowski also ate
Speaker 1: it a little a little help on that catch right there.
Speaker 1: And you know what the disconcerting part of that was
Speaker 1: his nine year old daughter Va saying, no, Daddy, no,
Speaker 1: I mean that was that was a part that got
Speaker 1: by attention, Paul. He didn't hear the voice of reason
Speaker 1: at that moment. No, there was a God. And it
Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily the twenty feet between the boats. I think
Speaker 1: it was the eighty feet worth the depth of the
Speaker 1: Hillsboro River as someone pointed out it was eighty feet deep?
Speaker 1: Is it really, Paul? Somebody said, it's eighty feet deep
Speaker 1: at that point in the river. So that's a dive.
Speaker 1: I mean you would have had a broad to divers
Speaker 1: in to actually retrieve the Lombardi. Correct, I mean if
Speaker 1: that would have been an incomplete pass with the Lombardi. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. Was it like somebody was diving and
Speaker 1: jumping overboard. I'll go get it. So, uh, that was
Speaker 1: the very definition of working without a net. Put it
Speaker 1: that way. And so they got it then. And I
Speaker 1: love when when they actually did give Bruce arians the mic.
Speaker 1: How many times did he say we're gonna be back,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know what, We're gonna win it again,
Speaker 1: and all the players is gonna be back despite the
Speaker 1: fact they have over a half dozen big time free agents.
Speaker 1: But a lot of bravado with the Mike, the b
Speaker 1: NBA standing for bravado that with all right, I said,
Speaker 1: a lot of all rights. You know, I think it's
Speaker 1: a Knick Saban thing. I really do, Paul. Yeah, Nick Saban,
Speaker 1: have you noticed says he happens to say all right
Speaker 1: after he says something right. It's kind of like I say, right,
Speaker 1: you know what he says? All right, Uh, it's it's
Speaker 1: catching God, Paul the Knick Saban thing. I think it's
Speaker 1: catching God with other coaches out there, because I've never
Speaker 1: heard Ba say I as much as he said it.
Speaker 1: I always took that as you're in a position of
Speaker 1: power and you want those who are subordinate to you
Speaker 1: to not according them. That's why you're saying the affirmation.
Speaker 1: As you're going about what you're saying, the affirmation, the acknowledgement,
Speaker 1: the buy in that I'm in charge. You're listening to me.
Speaker 1: I here's the way it's gonna be. So tonight on
Speaker 1: The Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert
Speaker 1: We are Santan for tonight special guest former Cardinals linebacker
Speaker 1: Cardinals broadcaster Rob Frederickson. All right, Freddy, Yeah, so look,
Speaker 1: he saw every snap of every game. The man has opinions.
Speaker 1: We know that. All you have to do is listen
Speaker 1: to the postgame show. So Rob Frederickson, what did he see?
Speaker 1: What does he think needs to happen on both sides
Speaker 1: of the ball? Where exactly is the NFC West? Now?
Speaker 1: Where's it going? We have questions? Do we not Rolf.
Speaker 1: How did he like the boat parade as well? Sure
Speaker 1: it's not like rob is a foreign to celebrations in
Speaker 1: the locker room. As a former raider. I mean, the
Speaker 1: man knows how to party. So that's all coming up
Speaker 1: on the Big Red Rage. Freeman wide right, Dick split
Speaker 1: to the left, matched up on Pat p Allen back
Speaker 1: to throw looking for Dickson. Stead steps up, throws deep middle,
Speaker 1: picked off. Peterson got that one. He's in his forty
Speaker 1: yard line, running far side of the forty five and
Speaker 1: down there Pat pat got allan that time. I've done
Speaker 1: all I can to present. You know that I would
Speaker 1: love to be here. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: you know, it's up to them. We just have to
Speaker 1: wait and see what the future brings. After the season's
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson at the conclusion of two twenty year the
Speaker 1: interception against Buffalo. Patrick Peterson Now after the conclusion of
Speaker 1: a five year, seventy million dollar contract, what is his future?
Speaker 1: That is one of the biggest questions for the Big
Speaker 1: Red here in the off season. It is the Big
Speaker 1: Red Rage presented by Satan Ford and Gilbert Paul calvc
Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley. The season is over, so you know what
Speaker 1: we continue though with Thursday Night Football, do we not?
Speaker 1: And the big talk right now, if you're a Cardinals fan,
Speaker 1: what exactly is the future of Patrick Peterson Ron Wolfley?
Speaker 1: Do you have a gut feeling of forecast? What do
Speaker 1: you think at this point? Yeah, Polly, you know what, honestly,
Speaker 1: right now, I would love to see Pat Pe come
Speaker 1: back with the Arizona Cardinals. I just don't know if
Speaker 1: that's going to be the case. You covet what you
Speaker 1: don't have, Polly, and the grass is greener on the
Speaker 1: other side. You take those two axioms that have been
Speaker 1: around for a long long time, and I think what's
Speaker 1: going to happen is there's going to be a team
Speaker 1: out there that is going to pay Patrick Peterson something
Speaker 1: that Steve Kiman, the Arizona Cardinals, would not pay. That's
Speaker 1: my gut feeling on that. I hope I'm dead wrong
Speaker 1: on that, Polly. I hope that Pat Pe comes back.
Speaker 1: I still think he's got real value. He's he's maybe
Speaker 1: not that shut down corner that he once was, but
Speaker 1: he's still a very good corner in this league. Well,
Speaker 1: he did shut down something else here this week, and
Speaker 1: that was a report from a fan site that apparently,
Speaker 1: according to this report, and we use that loosely, that
Speaker 1: he and the Cardinals are quote parting Way's barring a
Speaker 1: significant change and stances end quote over a new contract. Now,
Speaker 1: Pat p went on his podcast and he shot that
Speaker 1: down something fierce. In fact, he called a quote a
Speaker 1: dirty rumor, which is why I think it made virtually
Speaker 1: every single national platform, including the New York Post, because
Speaker 1: they're obligated to run anything that has the words dirty
Speaker 1: rumor in it. But that was his words, and he said,
Speaker 1: me and the team haven't talked about contracts. We haven't
Speaker 1: talked about partying ways. And at the end he said, geez,
Speaker 1: give me a break. The offseason just started and we're
Speaker 1: nowhere near in March seventeenth, the official start of the
Speaker 1: league year. I'm with you to a certain degree. Wolf.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's gonna be sort of big offer
Speaker 1: from the Cardinals come the start of the league. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I do wonder what the rest of the league thinks.
Speaker 1: I think if there's one team out there that's gonna
Speaker 1: blow the doors off someone, I get the sense it's
Speaker 1: gonna be Hassan Reddick. I actually fear that more than
Speaker 1: losing Patrick Peterson to another team via a big offer.
Speaker 1: I just wonder where Hassan Reddick is his age and
Speaker 1: the need for pass rush. Sure not that he cornerback
Speaker 1: is in a position that's most importance in the NFL,
Speaker 1: but it's where he is in his career and what
Speaker 1: we've seen in the past, the guys like Olivier Vernon
Speaker 1: and so forth has gotten those big numbers. I actually
Speaker 1: worry more about his son, Reddick, although I don't discount
Speaker 1: the fact that somebody out there covets Patrick Peterson. Yeah, no, Polly,
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. Listen. I think Pat he
Speaker 1: is still a guy that can line up press man.
Speaker 1: He can line up and play man off. As a
Speaker 1: matter of fact, I don't think his instincts are really
Speaker 1: really great when you play zone cover. A guy like
Speaker 1: Richard German. Stop and think about Richard Dermott right now.
Speaker 1: He has built his entire career based on the fact
Speaker 1: that he's going to play that deep third, cover three three,
Speaker 1: deep zone four underneath. He's going to play that deep
Speaker 1: third about as well as anybody has ever played that
Speaker 1: deep third, And especially when you're talking about a corner Now,
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman is also a guy that I think at
Speaker 1: some point we'll make that move, and maybe it's the
Speaker 1: next year too. Safety. I think he's that good of
Speaker 1: a tackler open field, you could actually move him to safety.
Speaker 1: We've seen many corners do that over the course of
Speaker 1: their career. I don't think Pat p is in that
Speaker 1: boat right there, Pat, he is still a guy that
Speaker 1: can line up and play man. Now, you get an
Speaker 1: awful lot of man beaters out there. You get teams
Speaker 1: that are running a lot of man beat or routes,
Speaker 1: which makes it very, very difficult. But that's who Vans
Speaker 1: Joseph truly is. Well, if you're talking about crossers, as
Speaker 1: Patrick Pete calls him, he talked about that and he
Speaker 1: admitted he needs to get better in that area. You know,
Speaker 1: just have to go back in and watch the film
Speaker 1: and just continue watching how teams are attacking me and
Speaker 1: which is you know, covering drags and crossers running through traffic.
Speaker 1: So I have to find a way doing this offseason
Speaker 1: of maneuvering better through things like that. It was obviously
Speaker 1: it was a big problem Week four against Carolina, we
Speaker 1: know that, but it was a persistent problem at times.
Speaker 1: So the rest of the season as well, wasn't it. Yes,
Speaker 1: And the reason being is because of Vans. Joseph of course,
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals. He is Wade
Speaker 1: Phillips disciple to some degree, and that's exactly what he
Speaker 1: loves to play. He loves to play cover one, which
Speaker 1: is man, free man across the board with a free
Speaker 1: safety high in the middle of the field. Right, This
Speaker 1: is what the Arizona Cardinals love. They love to go
Speaker 1: with a lot of man, a lot of complex pressure
Speaker 1: packages as well. You'll see that on third and obvious
Speaker 1: pass situations. But the Cardinals love to run man. And
Speaker 1: you know, anytime you do that, guess what the other
Speaker 1: team is looking at tape on you and they're saying, Okay,
Speaker 1: what do we need to do? Well, what do you
Speaker 1: say we get into a bunch formation, a trips formation
Speaker 1: to one side of the field, and we run a
Speaker 1: bunch of crossers. What do you say we get in
Speaker 1: two by two and we run the scissors play right,
Speaker 1: we run a bunch of crossing routes and drags. As
Speaker 1: you heard Pat Pe talking about right there, they know
Speaker 1: what to run against the Arizona Cardinals they're called man
Speaker 1: beater route combinations, and it's tough. It's one of the
Speaker 1: hardest routes for any corner to cover. I'm talking about historically,
Speaker 1: Dion Sanders had a hard time on a drag route,
Speaker 1: a quick drag right off the snap of the ball,
Speaker 1: not gaining any depth upfield, but immediately running across because
Speaker 1: of the speed that you're talking about a lot of
Speaker 1: these receivers having. So it's a difficult proposition for any
Speaker 1: corner and the Cardinals do need to get better on that.
Speaker 1: But there's not much you can do. When a team
Speaker 1: lines up and knows you're gonna be in man cover,
Speaker 1: that's what they're gonna run, and when they don't do
Speaker 1: a lot of that. Look at how he performed against
Speaker 1: a dk Metcalf twice. Yes, he really did Shutdowncalf. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that that definitely has been the third rail and has
Speaker 1: been a vexing problem for Patrick Peterson. Here's the other
Speaker 1: problem for the Arizona Cardinals. Who's better right now in
Speaker 1: the depth chart? So you know, I've been talking about
Speaker 1: it since basically mid season. I think the Cardinals are
Speaker 1: going round one cornerback. But if that guy isn't there
Speaker 1: and somebody takes that guy before the Cardinals draft. Viously,
Speaker 1: you know they might have to come up with another
Speaker 1: plane at corner. And if he does get a big
Speaker 1: offer from someone else, as you mentioned, then look out
Speaker 1: they're really thin at outside corner. We'll talk to Rob
Speaker 1: Frederickson about this at both the offense and the defense.
Speaker 1: He's our special guests as we roll on a big
Speaker 1: red rage presented by satan Ford in Gilbert Murray and
Speaker 1: shotgun has the football short set, throws a default left
Speaker 1: side single coverage and it is pulled in by DeAndre
Speaker 1: Hopkins and he's got a touchdown. What a throw by
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and what a catch. Great throw by Kyler Murray,
Speaker 1: but an even better retouchdown snapped to Murray and he
Speaker 1: keeps it himself running left, got a defender with him
Speaker 1: at the five breaks a tackle dives, ball comes out,
Speaker 1: but he crossed the plane. Touchdown. Kyler Murray. Somehow subway
Speaker 1: found a way to get that pig across pater big
Speaker 1: time by Kyler Murray. Well that was four shadowing there,
Speaker 1: because Kyler Murray soon after was named the NFC Offensive
Speaker 1: Player of the Week. That was that big win Week seven,
Speaker 1: at Seattle thirty seven thirty four, actually at home Sunday
Speaker 1: Night football as they got to win. That was the
Speaker 1: game where they trailed ten nothing twenty seven fourteen thirty four,
Speaker 1: twenty four. And then between Kyler and d hop we
Speaker 1: heard there the thirty five yard touchdown, the one where
Speaker 1: they all looked at the sideline and then Kyler cracked
Speaker 1: the smile and threw the touchdown to a d Hops.
Speaker 1: So all part of that win. In the five and
Speaker 1: two start, budd the Cardinals end up losing five of
Speaker 1: the last seven, and so we're trying to assess and
Speaker 1: diagnose that. Ron Wolfley yours truly, Paul Calvisi and joined
Speaker 1: by former Cardinals linebacker Cardinals broadcaster Rob Frederickson here on
Speaker 1: the Big Red Raging Rob. Earlier we remembered how Wolf's
Speaker 1: been a part of many a boot parade. Have you
Speaker 1: ever been in a boat parade just for you know,
Speaker 1: for facts off the top? Well, I grew up in Michigan.
Speaker 1: We have a lot of boat parades, Polly right, that's
Speaker 1: right on Lake Michigan, Lake Michigan, Bear Lake, Saint Joe River,
Speaker 1: wherever you want there on Friday, somewhere you can find
Speaker 1: it in Michigan tru Friday. You didn't answer the question, though,
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, how many boot parades have you been in? Zero? Zero? Oh?
Speaker 1: Here's the question. I don't believe that on campus at
Speaker 1: Michigan State. Here's the question. Come coming off, coming up? Okay,
Speaker 1: between Michigan State East Lansing and then coming off the
Speaker 1: Phoenix Open and then as a member of the Raiders
Speaker 1: who had the best parties? Was it in college? Was
Speaker 1: it the Phoenix Open or wasn't when you were a Raider?
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna plead the fifth, but I will say,
Speaker 1: you know at Michigan State is educational institution of order. Okay, sure,
Speaker 1: get out of Yeah. When you guys are burning furniture
Speaker 1: on the front porch for warmth during frat parties, okay,
Speaker 1: burn the couch, PA, that's right, that's right. Well, it's
Speaker 1: all about you. Presented by santan Ford and gild We're
Speaker 1: talking to Rob Frederickson, former Cardinals linebacker, and we're talking
Speaker 1: offense in this segment. So Rob, to you, what was
Speaker 1: the difference between the Cardinals, the high flying Cardinals offense
Speaker 1: that started five and two and then as we just
Speaker 1: documented the team the lost five is last seven and
Speaker 1: struggled more often than not down the stretch. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: love how you come to the linebacker former linebacker for
Speaker 1: offensive diagnosis. But you know, honestly, PAULI I saw some
Speaker 1: things with the Cardinals offense this year that obviously there
Speaker 1: were some difficulties, but I think I saw some things
Speaker 1: that they can really build on. And what I really
Speaker 1: liked what they did kind of in the middle of
Speaker 1: the season and then maybe they got away from it
Speaker 1: a little, but they started moving d Hop around a
Speaker 1: little instead of just standing him over to the left
Speaker 1: side stagnant and running three or four routes, starting to
Speaker 1: move him around, get him into the slot, motion him
Speaker 1: a little bit, do some crossing routes. Those are things
Speaker 1: I think they to build on offensively next season. And
Speaker 1: another thing that Wolf and you and I have talked
Speaker 1: about this a lot that I saw a little little
Speaker 1: bit of glimpses of, but not enough as Kyler under center. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, get him under center. That opens
Speaker 1: up the offense so much in terms of the running game.
Speaker 1: You know, it allows that Kenyan Drake or Chase Edmonds
Speaker 1: to really get downhill and get into those zone reads.
Speaker 1: But it also opens up that play action pass and
Speaker 1: those bootlegs, and and it allows Kyler Murray to really
Speaker 1: do what he's best at, and that's utilize time and space.
Speaker 1: And those are things I think that they can do
Speaker 1: going forward and maybe become a bigger part of the
Speaker 1: offensive game plan that I really m has me looking
Speaker 1: forward to twenty twenty one. You know what's interesting about this,
Speaker 1: I think the Arizona Cardinals have to pull back and
Speaker 1: parachute in from thirty thousand feet on this one. When
Speaker 1: you speak offensive and you've got to come up with
Speaker 1: a philosophy, what are you offensively? What are you going
Speaker 1: to be? I think there was on a Cardinals to
Speaker 1: some degree got predictable in the second half of the
Speaker 1: season with all the things they do. Predictable to your
Speaker 1: point about lining up DeAndre Hopkins on one side of
Speaker 1: the field for the most part, Yeah, they started moving
Speaker 1: him around the same thing with Kyler Murray just being
Speaker 1: too predictable where he's gonna be. Why not expand the
Speaker 1: football universe and move Kyler Murray under center? Why not
Speaker 1: put him in the gun, put him in the pistol
Speaker 1: and use these formations more and move him around. I
Speaker 1: think they became too predictable in the second half of
Speaker 1: that season. And it sounds like you agree with that, Freddie. Well, well,
Speaker 1: and not only that, Well, if I don't have a
Speaker 1: problem with the shotgun and there's some good things that
Speaker 1: come out of it, Oh yeah, the RPOs, But to me,
Speaker 1: they were always just rrs. It was always just you know,
Speaker 1: am I going to hand it off or am I
Speaker 1: going to run as Kyler Murray. There was never that
Speaker 1: pass option off of it. And to me, they need
Speaker 1: to expand on that, and you know, utilize Dan Arnold
Speaker 1: over the middle, but really you don't expand on that,
Speaker 1: and you're right, it become a little bit more unpredictable
Speaker 1: because we all know and Cardinal fans are probably tired
Speaker 1: and sick to death of the wide receiver screens and
Speaker 1: the jet sweeps and the run plays that bounce out
Speaker 1: to the outside. Those are hard to execute in the
Speaker 1: NFL with the speed of defenses and this their ability
Speaker 1: to get off blocks. You have to be able to
Speaker 1: mix it up run and pass, play action and keep
Speaker 1: the defenses on their toes. See. I love that, Freddy.
Speaker 1: I love that because sometimes you listen when I talk
Speaker 1: about philosophy. What I'm saying is the Arizona Cardinals, I
Speaker 1: think have to say to themselves, and I'm sure they have.
Speaker 1: You know what, sometimes we've got to be able to
Speaker 1: line up and just be better than the guy across
Speaker 1: from us. Sometimes we have to just line up and listen.
Speaker 1: The defense knows what's coming. You see this all the time,
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. The Green Bay Packers, they're gonna
Speaker 1: run tackle zone. They're gonna run that stretch play. They
Speaker 1: are gonna run that because their offense is built on that,
Speaker 1: very much like the Rams offense was built last year,
Speaker 1: which Eric goff on that offense as well. We're gonna
Speaker 1: run the tackle zone and here it comes. You know
Speaker 1: it's coming. And sometimes you just got to expect your
Speaker 1: guys to go out and execute and be better than
Speaker 1: the guy lined up over them. Yeah, and and well
Speaker 1: if I would, I would just add to that. Sometimes
Speaker 1: it's not even about being better. Um. I was watching
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl with my son and he said, yeah, Dad,
Speaker 1: the Kensee Chiefs can't run the ball. They're getting stuffed.
Speaker 1: And I said they need to keep trying, though, because
Speaker 1: that sets up things they don't they don't force those
Speaker 1: safeties to come down and then you can hit the
Speaker 1: play action over it. But they would. They went away
Speaker 1: from it, right, Yeah, absolutely, Freddie, I'm not. I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about three yards, four yards, that's what it's
Speaker 1: But Bay Buccaneers were doing in Super Bowl fifty five.
Speaker 1: They were just running into the pile for the most part.
Speaker 1: And how many times have we seen that that pile
Speaker 1: suddenly gives way in the second half, in the third quarter,
Speaker 1: in the fourth it gives way. And you know again,
Speaker 1: I think it starts. It's got to start with a philosophy.
Speaker 1: I think Cliff Kingsbury and his staff, I know that's
Speaker 1: what they're doing this offseason. They're coming up, what are
Speaker 1: we going to be? Where is our identity? Because I
Speaker 1: think identity matters. Rob Predictson our guest, It's all about You,
Speaker 1: presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert and Rob. You brought
Speaker 1: up what I was going to sit and that's those
Speaker 1: two high safeties. Because we talked about it in November
Speaker 1: and December on Cardinals broadcast. Adjust to the adjustment, it
Speaker 1: seemed like a lot of game plans against Kyler and
Speaker 1: Company involved the two high safeties. What did Todd Bowles
Speaker 1: do against Patrick Mahomes. I saw John Clayton just wrote
Speaker 1: an article about the Seahawks. That's exactly what defenses are
Speaker 1: doing to stimy Russell Wilson after he got off to
Speaker 1: an MVP start. To me, Rob, they got to figure
Speaker 1: out a way to do something about that two high
Speaker 1: safety look. And and to me, it's running the football.
Speaker 1: When they were in year the second half of Cliff
Speaker 1: Kingsbury's first year and the first half of his second year,
Speaker 1: they were running the ball effectively. Now it's running the
Speaker 1: football and sticking with it. Like I said, even if
Speaker 1: it's not successful, even if it's only for two yards
Speaker 1: or three yards, to me, that's successful, yes, because that
Speaker 1: sets up so much else off the play action, and
Speaker 1: then the middle of the field is wide open. Okay,
Speaker 1: with the two eyes safeties you got, you got a
Speaker 1: guy like Dan Arnold, give me a break him against
Speaker 1: a middle linebacker that that should be a win every
Speaker 1: every time. All right? So key, free agents, guys, you
Speaker 1: mentioned dan Arnold, How about Kelvin Beecham at right tackle?
Speaker 1: You know if he's not back, do you trust Josh Jones?
Speaker 1: Real quick as we go to break here, Is that
Speaker 1: a guy you would just plug and play the rookie
Speaker 1: You didn't get a whole bunch of snaps in his
Speaker 1: rookie year. Well, he didn't get a lot of snaps,
Speaker 1: but they drafted him where they did for a reason.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think he's a good young player.
Speaker 1: That's a tough position though, and beacham At played pretty
Speaker 1: well this season, so you know, I don't know what's
Speaker 1: going to happen with him, but I'd like to bring
Speaker 1: him back. But I'm high on Josh Jones going into
Speaker 1: the future. Yeah, Paulie, They're gonna give Josh Jones, I think,
Speaker 1: every opportunity to win that job. But I'm with Rob
Speaker 1: on this. Calvit beach a man. You want to talk
Speaker 1: about a kind time sign. That was an excellent sign.
Speaker 1: He did a very professional job at right tackle. Jared Sweezy,
Speaker 1: Max Garcia Free Agent's Course, Kenyan Drake will flip sides
Speaker 1: talk defense next with Rob Frederickson on the Big Red
Speaker 1: Rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert Staff the Wilson
Speaker 1: Cardinals bringing to pressure. It's picked up Wilson a time
Speaker 1: at the pocket now and trouble and sacked about four
Speaker 1: Cardinals in the backfield, but it's Isaiah Simmons of the
Speaker 1: rookie to get the Russell Wilson first to force a
Speaker 1: fund shotgun snapped. Wilson straight drop back, steps up in
Speaker 1: the pocket, takes up running far side of the forty
Speaker 1: and drilled by Simmons at the forty one. Isaiah Simmons
Speaker 1: is ball at shotguns. Nat Wilson quick throw to the left,
Speaker 1: flat metcalf caught it at the thirty eight drop by
Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons for a loss at the thirty seventyard line.
Speaker 1: Simmons has played terrific football tonight, the rookie really starting
Speaker 1: to get comfortable out there. You hurt the sack. He
Speaker 1: had a team I ten tackles in that game. That
Speaker 1: was the week eleven game at the Seahawks Thursday Night
Speaker 1: football Wolf. I remember doing big red rage in the
Speaker 1: days after the draft where he went number eight overall
Speaker 1: to the Arizona Cardinals, and you said you had one
Speaker 1: big question and one only and that was just the
Speaker 1: level of physicality. Yes he would bring to the NFL.
Speaker 1: Did he answer that question, Chris? He did, BOLLI he did.
Speaker 1: I saw everything I wanted to see from Isaiah Simmons
Speaker 1: and whether or not he's willing to stick his face
Speaker 1: into the fire. And it was just the fact that
Speaker 1: when he got the opportunity to play inside linebacker, and
Speaker 1: when they would line him up there the weekside inside,
Speaker 1: that he would come downhill and take on the block
Speaker 1: and stick his face in there, which he would, but
Speaker 1: it was also in the open field how he went
Speaker 1: about tackling. I think back to Cam Newton in that
Speaker 1: New England Patriots game. Now listen, he got flagged on it, Paul.
Speaker 1: He got flacked on It's because he hit the quarterback
Speaker 1: too hard. Paul. I'm telling you right now he did.
Speaker 1: And would you say, Cam Newton running is a big
Speaker 1: man running. He is a big man running and Isaiah
Speaker 1: Simmons put the face right on him. I realized they
Speaker 1: threw the flag on it. I still think it was
Speaker 1: a clean hit by Isaiah Simmons. I dispute the call,
Speaker 1: but yeah, he answered all those questions. He heard. Rob
Speaker 1: Frederickson there he is our guest on the Big Red Rage. Rob,
Speaker 1: you play the position, first round pick as a linebacker.
Speaker 1: You tell us your rookie season impressions on Isaiah Simmons.
Speaker 1: You know, it was a little of a long learning
Speaker 1: curve for Isaiah and and let's all cut him some
Speaker 1: slack because if you think back to his senior season
Speaker 1: in Clemson, most of his snaps, the majority of his
Speaker 1: snaps were spent in the slot, covering receivers or at
Speaker 1: the safety position. Yeah, he didn't he wasn't up around
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage the majority of time. So, um,
Speaker 1: I give him some slack, you know, especially early on,
Speaker 1: it was it was a it was a tough learning
Speaker 1: experience for him. And you know, and I think he
Speaker 1: was kind of down on himself, but he dug himself
Speaker 1: out of that, and the second half of the season
Speaker 1: he really came on the light. The light bulb kind
Speaker 1: of turned on and and like wolf, like you said,
Speaker 1: he you know, when he's when he's getting to the
Speaker 1: ball carrier, he's coming with some malice. And I love that.
Speaker 1: So if your vance, Joseph rob is he automatically plugged in?
Speaker 1: Now speaking of versatility and flexibility, is he automatically replacing
Speaker 1: de Andre Campbell? And you're leaving him there for the
Speaker 1: entirety of games because we saw him inside, we saw
Speaker 1: him on the edge, we saw him at slock corner.
Speaker 1: We saw him at deep safety this year. Is he
Speaker 1: now officially an inside linebacker after Devandre Campbell? We expect
Speaker 1: to leave, you know, after one year. One of the
Speaker 1: biggest indicators to whether or not you're going to be
Speaker 1: a good pro in my opinion, is that leap from
Speaker 1: your first year to your second year. That's where you
Speaker 1: see the biggest growth. And I think you're going to
Speaker 1: see it from Isaiah Simmons in my opinion, Paulie, he's
Speaker 1: too good of a player to ever be on the sideline. Honestly,
Speaker 1: he's too good of a talent, he's too good of
Speaker 1: an athlete, and he's fast. And this league the way
Speaker 1: it is right now, you have to be fast. Speed kills.
Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons has it. He has to be on the
Speaker 1: field all the time. So okay, now that's that question.
Speaker 1: There are other questions obviously on the defensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball, like defensive line. Jordan Phillips, you know, underwhelming
Speaker 1: season to say the least. What about Corey Peters in
Speaker 1: your estimation, here's a guy, a veteran. We know his
Speaker 1: value on the field. In the locker room, there could
Speaker 1: be cap restrictions where do you think he rates in
Speaker 1: terms of importance for the Cardinals. Well, I mean, of course,
Speaker 1: we all love Corey Peters and you know I'd love
Speaker 1: to have him. The rookies that we signed last year,
Speaker 1: Rashad and Lawrence and like you foe to Um, you know,
Speaker 1: those guys have to step up now. They have to
Speaker 1: step up. I don't know if Corey Peters is going
Speaker 1: to be back, don't. I don't know that situation. Zach
Speaker 1: Allen's another guy. Um, you know, he's had some injury issues,
Speaker 1: got to stay on the field. Those are those are
Speaker 1: just you know, there's some depth with his defensive line. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we have a couple of possible free agents, but those
Speaker 1: are guys that you know, have to step up and
Speaker 1: be consistent and be available. More than anything, they have
Speaker 1: to be available and we have to be able to
Speaker 1: rely on them. You know, I thought Paul two as well.
Speaker 1: I thought Advanced Joseph did an excellent job as a
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. I know nobody wants to hear that out
Speaker 1: there because everyone looks at our defense and thinks the
Speaker 1: defense for the Arizona Cardinals. It stinks when actually we
Speaker 1: all know what Advanced Joseph was dealing with last year
Speaker 1: once again, you've got no Chandler Jones. Would you say
Speaker 1: that's a big important part to your defense. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. Robert Alford, Robert Alford for two
Speaker 1: years now, Robert Alford was the best corner opposite of
Speaker 1: Pat P since Pat P has been here. I mean
Speaker 1: that he is the best corner from a skill from
Speaker 1: a talent perspective. He's the best they've ever had opposite
Speaker 1: of Pad P. And the guy hasn't played in two
Speaker 1: years because the two freak injuries in training camp right now.
Speaker 1: If they can get him back, if they can get
Speaker 1: Jayalen Thompson back on a regular basis, Polly, I loved Freddie.
Speaker 1: What did you see from Jayleen Thompson? Because I loved
Speaker 1: what I saw from this kid. Loved him. And you
Speaker 1: know what I think is starting mate, their safety mate,
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker. It's like osmosis. It just wears off on
Speaker 1: people and you're you're like, you know, when they showed
Speaker 1: that film Wolf on Monday, I don't want I don't
Speaker 1: want to see Buddha Baker flying to the ball and
Speaker 1: me kind of you know, kind of getting there. No, uh,
Speaker 1: and I think I think Buddha Baker has been good
Speaker 1: for Jalen Thompson because Jayalen Thompson, to me, has far
Speaker 1: exceeded any expectation. I really love him as a safety.
Speaker 1: And let me just say this quickly. Right here, the
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals defense number ten in passing yards per game allowed,
Speaker 1: Number ten in passing yards per game a lot, number
Speaker 1: seven in passing yards per play a lot POULI. You
Speaker 1: put those two things together right there, you're a top
Speaker 1: ten team. Now listen, it's not because teams decided to
Speaker 1: run the ball against the Arizona Cardinals. They did that,
Speaker 1: there's no doubt. But when you're number seven and passing
Speaker 1: yards per play allowed as well, that says you're buttoned up.
Speaker 1: You know what is you're doing. You don't have a
Speaker 1: bunch of receivers running wide open in this secondary and
Speaker 1: there's some good coverage and some good tackling that is
Speaker 1: going on there. It's one of the reasons why the
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals were number fourteen in defensive quarterback rating. Now listen,
Speaker 1: I can tell you right now, I know that quarterback
Speaker 1: rating matters because the top ten. Every year you look
Speaker 1: at the top ten names that are in quarterback rating
Speaker 1: every year. Guess what, they're the best quarterbacks in the NFL.
Speaker 1: It's funny the way that works. So that tells me
Speaker 1: there's some merit there that it's a good indicator as
Speaker 1: to how a human being is playing the quarterback position
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. Flip it over on the
Speaker 1: defensive quarterback rating. The fact that Arizona Cardinals were number fourteen,
Speaker 1: I think that would shock a lot of people. Number
Speaker 1: fourteen in the league. No Chandler Jones, as I said, No,
Speaker 1: Jalen Thompson for the most part. Of course, he was
Speaker 1: in and out of the lineup all year long. Isaiah Simmons,
Speaker 1: he didn't have a position for him, basically trying to
Speaker 1: figure it out. I think this defense is going to
Speaker 1: be much better in this coming season. Right Who's and
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, probably go ahead now say who's opposite of
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones. You know right now, Hassan Reddick Marcus Gold
Speaker 1: both going to be unrestricted free agents. I fear Hassan
Speaker 1: Reddick is gonna give big money from at least one
Speaker 1: team out there. I know a lot of mock dress
Speaker 1: have the Cardinals going edge rusher? What do you think
Speaker 1: should happen at the spot opposite Chandler? Well, I think
Speaker 1: you know, obviously you're gonna have to wait and see
Speaker 1: what happens with Hassan Reddick. You know, and back to
Speaker 1: wolves earlier point about Van's Joseph, I mean you lose
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones, Hassan Reddick steps up, guard deck steps up huge.
Speaker 1: I mean you you got so many pressures and sacks
Speaker 1: from players from different positions in different alignments last year.
Speaker 1: To me that that was awesome. Um, but you're right, Paul,
Speaker 1: you know that that is an area of need for
Speaker 1: the Cardinals that at that outside pass rush. And if
Speaker 1: it's not Hassan Reddick, who's it going to be. Are
Speaker 1: we're gonna address it free agency or is it going
Speaker 1: to come into draft? I don't know. I saw the
Speaker 1: mock draft that you're talking about, Polly, and they're talking
Speaker 1: about in the edge rusher. We'll see. But to me,
Speaker 1: last year, what Vance Joseph did with what he was dealt,
Speaker 1: it was pretty awesome. Well, if you're talking about one
Speaker 1: unit that approved year over year, that past defense wolf
Speaker 1: because you know, on a liability that wasn't twenty nineteen. Yes, Polly,
Speaker 1: it's not just that either. It's listen, Chandler Jones. Would
Speaker 1: you say Chandler Jones was productive, Paul, It's very productive, right,
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones. You could make the argument he's the best
Speaker 1: edge guy. I thought he was the best edge guy
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. When you look at Chandler
Speaker 1: Jones and his productivity right now, when you've got that
Speaker 1: kind of force coming off the edge, it makes the
Speaker 1: offense more predictable, Paul. It makes the offense more predictable
Speaker 1: because it makes their protection schemes more predictable. And when
Speaker 1: you make the protection schemes more predictable, now all of
Speaker 1: a sudden vance Joseph can scheme with better authority in
Speaker 1: that regard ass to what kind of pressure packages or
Speaker 1: blitz packages you want to bring, because you can almost
Speaker 1: anticipate what kind of protection you're going to get with
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones on the field. Take him out of the
Speaker 1: equation now, all of a sudden, it's a little bit diceier. Hey,
Speaker 1: and look and think about this too. Chandler Jones was
Speaker 1: out with a with a torn bicep. It's not like
Speaker 1: he did something to as a kill his tenant or
Speaker 1: his knee or something. He's going to be able to
Speaker 1: fly around. Okay, he's going to be back, and he's
Speaker 1: going to be he's gonna have a chip on his shoulder.
Speaker 1: I promise you that. And he's in a contract here,
Speaker 1: So we go, you know, way by the way, Rob,
Speaker 1: as he go to break here real quick. If it
Speaker 1: comes down to edge rush or a cornerback in that
Speaker 1: first round, is there a position you value more cornerback?
Speaker 1: On to me, two positions of that value the most
Speaker 1: cornerbacks and offensive tackles. He can never have too many
Speaker 1: of them. And I don't I don't know what the position.
Speaker 1: I don't know what situation is going to be with
Speaker 1: Pat p but we need two studs on the outside.
Speaker 1: Let Byrne Murphy be awesome in the middle in the slot,
Speaker 1: because I think that's where he's found a good home.
Speaker 1: Agreed Freddie So not only a guy who played nearly
Speaker 1: a decade in the NFL, former first Trump picks, so
Speaker 1: every snap of the Cardinals this last year, but he's
Speaker 1: also been in a boat parade. So that's good. Wolf's
Speaker 1: got the boot parade, Rob Frederickson has the boat parade.
Speaker 1: So we have all angles covered Freddie. We appreciate it
Speaker 1: here on the Big Red Range. Love you guys, thanks
Speaker 1: for having me. We continue all presented by satan Ford
Speaker 1: and Gilbert We are satan Ford five Gold, three to go.
Speaker 1: Someone who's run on the field, some guy with a
Speaker 1: fraud and now he's not being chased. He's running down
Speaker 1: the middle of a forty arms in the air and
Speaker 1: a victory salute. He's pulling down his pants. Put off
Speaker 1: your pants, my man, call up boast pants. He's being chased.
Speaker 1: It up thirty. He breaks a tackle from us the
Speaker 1: twenty down the middle of the ten, five side of
Speaker 1: the one, and they converge on him at the goal
Speaker 1: line and the players with him time hips at the
Speaker 1: other end of the field of looking at him and
Speaker 1: shaking their head and saying, why, oh why is this
Speaker 1: taking place in a Super Bowl? Some guy who was
Speaker 1: that guy on Super Sunday That is the great Kevin
Speaker 1: Arlan on Westwood One. See on TV they ignore it
Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley, but on the radio call you get some
Speaker 1: great play by play, whether it's Kevin Harland or own
Speaker 1: day pass. You know when there's that guy out on
Speaker 1: the field and then eventually he gets taken down by security.
Speaker 1: You know, why not incorporated into the game action, Paul,
Speaker 1: he doesn't add habit at cal Berkeley all the time. Well,
Speaker 1: that guy was on campus, actually was the naked guy,
Speaker 1: and somehow he got away with that for a couple
Speaker 1: of best I'm sorry, Paul. They actually got naked and
Speaker 1: then sat in trees. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and they were
Speaker 1: up there for about two years. Actually, those people so
Speaker 1: with the excrement buckets. But we won't go there. Okay,
Speaker 1: I just just do it, I mean, stop it, just
Speaker 1: I mean, what kind of show you're running here? Presented
Speaker 1: by Santan Ford and Gilbert. So there you go. That
Speaker 1: was one moment from the super Bowl that suffered some
Speaker 1: of the worst TV ratings in a long time. And
Speaker 1: you know what, I just think Kansas City's coaches just
Speaker 1: struggled at times to make adjustments. They look more confused
Speaker 1: than those backup dancers for the weekend at super Bowl halftime.
Speaker 1: I just didn't understand, Wolf. And if you're asking me,
Speaker 1: and I'm glad you did even though you didn't. If
Speaker 1: we learned something from super Bowl fifty five, I think
Speaker 1: it's the following that it's not just a passing league.
Speaker 1: Your past pass pass. It's defense and balanced offense still wins. Yes, Paula,
Speaker 1: you're right about that, the balanced offense. And not only that, Paul,
Speaker 1: can I also say, I think it's a little bit
Speaker 1: of how you run the ball as well. It's not
Speaker 1: just running the football, it's also how you run it
Speaker 1: as well, I think. And I was talking to Rob
Speaker 1: about this Freddie of course Rob Frederickson on the show
Speaker 1: joined us earlier, and talking to him about sometimes, Polly,
Speaker 1: you got to line up and just be better than
Speaker 1: the guy acrossroom. Sometimes you've got to put the expectation
Speaker 1: on your offensive lineman that we're not going to deceive
Speaker 1: the defensive front. We're not going to trick them, We're
Speaker 1: going to truck them. We're going to move them off
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. And sometimes you've got to put
Speaker 1: that onus, I think, on your offensive lineman. But man,
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty five to me, Polly, it came down
Speaker 1: to three possessions in that second half by the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. The two possessions at the end of the
Speaker 1: third quarter and then the first possession into the fourth quarter. Polly,
Speaker 1: they ran the ball fifteen times. They ran the ball
Speaker 1: fifteen times in that situation, nine times, Polly. They were
Speaker 1: in a power personnel group where they brought a sixth
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, Joe Haig. They brought him off the sideline
Speaker 1: and put in there. Nine times of those fifteen times
Speaker 1: they ran the ball. It was twenty two and twenty
Speaker 1: three double ball. Okay, I mean we'd see that. I
Speaker 1: mean that is Bruce arians, that is Byron Left, which
Speaker 1: that's the play they ran, and they sucked the beating
Speaker 1: heart of the Kansas City Chiefs right out of their chest.
Speaker 1: If there was one play in the BA Arsenal that
Speaker 1: managed to own a great Seahawks defense back in the day,
Speaker 1: that was it wasn't It wasn't that their go to remember.
Speaker 1: I mean, they were up there and they didn't even
Speaker 1: have a great offensive line at that point. Of that
Speaker 1: point in time, BA went up there and they said,
Speaker 1: you know what, we're gonna run twenty two and twenty
Speaker 1: three double paul. They ran at twenty three times twenty
Speaker 1: three times. Now, listen, it wasn't like they were gashing
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks either. That's back when they were the
Speaker 1: Legion of Boom. They had an excellent defense. They weren't
Speaker 1: gashing them. They were running it into the pie because
Speaker 1: the play action is what made it so effective, coming
Speaker 1: off of running the ball like that. And look, you've
Speaker 1: known offensive line in your whole life. Your brother was
Speaker 1: an outstanding offensive lineman, super Bowl winning offensive lineman with
Speaker 1: the Steelers. And you don't have to ask an offensive
Speaker 1: lineman twice to attack. They love to come off the
Speaker 1: ball and they love to take it to a defensive front.
Speaker 1: So you know, you get a lot of buy in
Speaker 1: from offensive lineman when you do that as well. And
Speaker 1: then conversely, when Kansas City had the ball right, there
Speaker 1: wasn't much of a run game. And look what happened.
Speaker 1: Look at the Tampa pressure on Mahomes twenty nine of
Speaker 1: fifty six dropbacks. He got harrassed. Oh you know me
Speaker 1: right now, I don't. I don't question play calling. I
Speaker 1: really don't. These guys are the best of the best.
Speaker 1: These guys know what they sit around all week or
Speaker 1: for two weeks. When you're playing in the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: and you've come up with a plan as to what
Speaker 1: you're gonna do to attack this defense, they're the best
Speaker 1: of the best. But I thought that Kansas City Chiefs
Speaker 1: coaching staf offensively failed to realize they had two backup
Speaker 1: tackles again, Shack Barrett and Jason Pierre Paul. Do you
Speaker 1: know how difficult that you had to run the ball
Speaker 1: to keep them honest on the edge. And when they
Speaker 1: showed the Kansas City Chiefs that they weren't going to
Speaker 1: run the ball, they came after them. Hey, the only way,
Speaker 1: at least the best way to beat an elite quarterback
Speaker 1: is to get after that quarterback. And they did and
Speaker 1: it was enough even though Patrick Mahomes made some amazing
Speaker 1: singular plays. Guess what the Tampa Bay Bucks get their
Speaker 1: first Super Bowl win in eighteen years. Will come back
Speaker 1: and wrap up this edition of the Big Red Rage,
Speaker 1: presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert, Hi. Everybody out, but
Speaker 1: to call everybody out, it's the first period, a second period,
Speaker 1: a third bid, a fourth period. Round. This is the curry.
Speaker 1: Let's go just keep running and pack gunn and look
Speaker 1: at that. There's gonna be some holes, creative, we just work.
Speaker 1: We're getting a little distordered right now, but we're gonna
Speaker 1: be fine. Just gonna have a little more patience and
Speaker 1: it'll be there. There's a glean men there's a gleam.
Speaker 1: Let's get the gleam. Oh, you've got Neil blocking for
Speaker 1: LT one more time. You've got rivers under Finner left
Speaker 1: hash from the seven yard line of the Denver Broncos
Speaker 1: and a hand off to Tomlin. Finner left fund and
Speaker 1: he will gallop into the end. Carter, I believe he
Speaker 1: is the finest running back to everywhere uniform. That's how
Speaker 1: I feel, And I don't want to embarrass him. But
Speaker 1: for all the skills he has as a player, they
Speaker 1: pail by comparison to the person. Well, the feeling was mutual.
Speaker 1: Ladinia Thomason calling his former coach Marty Schottenheimer quote the
Speaker 1: best coach I've ever had. That comes from a Hall
Speaker 1: of fame running back in LT. As we remember in salute.
Speaker 1: Marty Schottenheimer passed away this week at age seventy seven.
Speaker 1: He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in twenty fourteen, the eight
Speaker 1: winning his coach in NFL history with Cleveland, Casey Washington
Speaker 1: and the Chargers and Wolf. I'm guessing your pass crossed
Speaker 1: in Hawaii. Probably you know what, Paul. They did. I
Speaker 1: remember the nineteen eighty six Pro Bowl and it was
Speaker 1: Mike Ditka for the NFC Ditga of course, and the
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears coaching staff against Marty Schottenheimer and his coaching
Speaker 1: staff for the AFC. And it was amazing because Paul,
Speaker 1: we didn't even we just walked through to all week long.
Speaker 1: We never even put the pads on Ditka on a Thursday,
Speaker 1: which is a big practice week of course, when you're
Speaker 1: getting ready to play a game on Sunday. Thursday was huge.
Speaker 1: And we went out there and Dittga called everyone after
Speaker 1: five minutes of being on the field, called everyone up
Speaker 1: and said, you guys know what you're doing, and yeah,
Speaker 1: a way, yeah, coach, way, we know we're doing. Get
Speaker 1: out here, I got a tea time in five minutes.
Speaker 1: Sent us home, Paul, send us home. I mean that
Speaker 1: That's the way we were practicing all week long. And
Speaker 1: the AFC, Paully and Marty Schottenheimer. Schottenheimer put him in pads.
Speaker 1: Oh they were Wednesday and Thursday, Polly, they were out
Speaker 1: there on the field and pads and they were hitting.
Speaker 1: Had a pro bowl, you know, now again it was
Speaker 1: more of a thought drill, but still they had the
Speaker 1: pads on and they were hitting, and you know what,
Speaker 1: Polly we beat him. We beat him. The NFC beat him,
Speaker 1: right wow, well you know kicked in. You guys need
Speaker 1: the extra cash at the end of that Pro Bowl.
Speaker 1: That was Marty. That was what Marty was all about.
Speaker 1: We're gonna run the ball, We're gonna be a physical team,
Speaker 1: We're gonna bash your face it. We're also remembering and
Speaker 1: saluting Pedro Gomez, who we learned on Super Bowl Sunday.
Speaker 1: He passed away at age fifty eight, and for all
Speaker 1: of us in the valley, who remember and I go
Speaker 1: back with Pedro all the way back to the dback's
Speaker 1: first spring training. I mean, as I said on Cardinals
Speaker 1: Underground the podcast this week, Pedro Gomez was multimedia before
Speaker 1: there was even the term multimedia. Great beat writer, columnist,
Speaker 1: ESPN reporter, made the transition to broadcasting, TV analyst, and
Speaker 1: anybody who met him realized, just like what Marty Schotenheimer
Speaker 1: said about LT he was as great a person as
Speaker 1: he was in the media, he was an even better
Speaker 1: man overall. You know what, Paula was going through a
Speaker 1: rough patch in my life, as you well know, way
Speaker 1: back can hear the turn of the century and if
Speaker 1: Pedro was writing for the Republic back then. He treated
Speaker 1: me with more respect than I had for myself at
Speaker 1: that point in time, and for that, I'll always remember
Speaker 1: Pedro that way, and what a pleasure was to know Pedro,
Speaker 1: and all our condolences to his family. That'll do it
