And 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.280 what a players like to do. They like to compare 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.960 the first day of camp to everybody now the first 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:16.280 day of school, Christian Kirk, yesterday, Wolf, whether you realize 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:19.160 it or not, you were the hitome of the first 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:21.559 day of school today. What are you talking about? Paul 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:25.240 Basin onions, Let me paint you a picture. Little Ronnie 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.480 Wolfley over there, Ronnie Paul Wolfley on the sideline. He's 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.640 got his preppie collared shirt. It's all press nice. He's 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.400 got his dress shorts on. None of the traditional camo 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:37.119 for Cardinals camp. Nope, it's the first day of camp. 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:40.160 His hair, it's slicked back, he's clean shaven. He's clutching 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.959 his laminated roster card, not just a roster, but laminated. 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.840 His eyes are bright, they're wide open. He's taking note 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.640 of personnel groups. He's he's raising his hand to call 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:53.000 out formations. I mean, wolf, the only thing missing, and 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:56.080 maybe I missed it. Did you bring a shiny, new 0:01:56.160 --> 0:02:00.320 fresh apple for the head coach, Cliff Campsberry. I did, not, Paully, 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:05.000 And nobody calls me Ronnie Paul except TUPI. Yeah, except Topi, 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:08.040 my mom. Of course, that's right. Nobody Paul, not you, 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.680 that's for sure. What are you talking about the apple? 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:12.760 Why are you talking about that? Wolf? I mean, you 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.800 were really um, you were attentive. You are you know? 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:17.960 You even forgot to bring snacks today. You were so 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:22.440 into football you forgot your snacks. And honestly, I did 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:25.800 like the laminadd roster. That was very very cool because 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.400 it was broken down by position. Did you notice that, Paully, 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.520 all the running backs were actually together, right, All the 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:35.040 offensive linemen were together, all the wide receivers. It was 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.880 like looking at a roster based on the different rooms, 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:42.000 the position rooms on the team. I love that it 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:44.360 was beautiful. It's the way a GM would look at 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:48.639 the roster. That's exactly right, Polly, yep. And the fact 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.600 you were looking at it with your readers, you actually 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:54.320 remembered your readers was another indication, boom Ron Wolfley, you 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.639 were mentally ready to go. Today. It is the Big 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.280 Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. We are 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:03.480 Santanard and wolf just like those guys who are going 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.160 to be inducted into the Hall of Fame this coming weekend. 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.320 We might have to put you on a time limit. Okay, 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.480 there are speech limits this year, six minutes. By the 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:13.799 eight minute mark, you're gonna get ushered off the stage 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:17.359 with the Academy Award like orchestra music. So you might 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.960 have to just you know, make it tight, make it 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:23.880 brief today because we have Malcolm Butler Cardinals starting corner 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.280 CB one coming up around the corner. You want to 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.880 talk about an alpha dog, Polly right there, and Malcolm 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.120 Butler once again, listen, is he Malcolm Butler of year, 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.920 number two, number three, number four when he was young? 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.200 Now he's getting a little long in the tooth. But 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.520 I can tell you right now what he has done 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:43.280 is used technique. He has, to me, some of the 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.080 best techniques, some of the best hands that you could 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.840 possibly want as a corner. It's one of the reasons 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.320 why he's had the kind of success that he's had 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.080 in the National Football League. Last year was a bit 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.760 of a downer and then he got stronger as the 0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:00.520 year went along. The second half of the season, Malcolm 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.720 Butler was playing like Malcolm Butler. I expect him to 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:07.720 come in here and be a starting corner for the 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:11.240 Arizona Cardinals, and I mean make a difference. Paul, would 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:13.440 you say that just based on today and we can't 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:16.960 get into specifics exactly, but would you say Robert Alford, 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:21.240 speaking of corner, made an impression today? Yes? How about 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.760 AJ Green? Would you say he showed up? There's no 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.960 doubt about it, Bally, AJ Green, I I was there 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.720 was only one other guy that impressed me more than 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:36.440 AJ Green. Okay, and that was Chandler Jones. Did you 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.240 see chan Did you see Champ? Because I'm telling you 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:42.160 right now, when that portion of practice that we can 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:46.120 report on that we were watching, did you see Chandler Jones, Paul, 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.839 It's it's what. I didn't see a Chandler Jones. I didn't. 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.600 I didn't see a two hundred eighty pound Chandler Jones. 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:55.960 Oh No, I'm talking spelt like I've never seen him spelt. 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:01.800 That's that's intriguing. There's because Arizona Cardinals finished fourth in 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:04.360 the NFL with forty eight sacks a year ago minus 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.040 Chandler Jones. Yep. So if all of a sudden he's 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.359 back to the form of his nineteen sax season or 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.559 his seventeen sacks season, which he's just removed from those years, 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:17.360 then look out. So yeah, Chandler Jones. Okay. By the way, 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:19.800 Chandler obviously did report he was there for the run test, 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.279 same with Jordan Hicks. So that was some of the 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:27.040 initial headlines on the conditioning test day yesterday. Then today, 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:30.320 Chandler Jones running mate JJ Watt was not out on 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.440 the practice field, and after practice we learned that he 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:37.200 tweaked his hamstring. He called it a little soreness, and 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.880 he didn't practice today. He's not going to practice tomorrow, 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.520 And it turns out he eventually ultimately went on the 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.240 active pup list, the same listed as Dennis Gardeck, so 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.640 he can't practice until he comes off that list. JJ Watt, Okay, 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:51.600 that really is a bummer right there, because honestly, hopefully 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.479 this is just a little scrain. He'll get over this quickly. 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:58.159 It won't linger into training camp whatsoever. And sometimes, Fawley, 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:02.000 that's exactly what happens, especially with some of the older guys. 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:05.200 If you pull a muscle, that thing will linger from 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:08.839 time to time. And hopefully this thing doesn't get tweaked 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:13.719 again or get worse as the preseason unfolds. Right here now, listen, 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:17.359 it's not critical that JJ Watt goes out there and 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.240 is ready to practice and play on Monday when they 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.440 put the pads on and go out and actually start 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.080 trying to drive somebody into the ground. If he's not 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:27.359 there on Monday, I'm not going to panic. I'm not 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.479 going to get all worked up about it. This is 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.280 something that happens that guys that from time to time 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:34.920 get a little bit older in their career, they're more 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:38.080 susceptible to a muscle pull and then trying to get 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:42.279 it right, it takes a little bit more time. Now, again, 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.440 I don't know anything about the severity of this pool 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.440 of this poll, but Polly, I'm not concerned about it early, 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:52.520 am not. It's July twenty eighth, yes, So with that 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:56.120 in mind, the opener isn't until September twelfth. Yeah, thirty 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.880 two year old JJ Watt, three time NFL Defensive Player 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:00.760 of the Year, so he knows he's going to take 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:02.920 his time. If he misses some time at this point 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:04.600 of the season, who cares. Just got to make sure 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.880 he's right for Week one. As the Cardinals pick up 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.640 from last season. And I bring that up because that 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.440 was a talking point the last two days with Cliff Kingsbury, 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.120 especially on the heels of what Chase Edmonds had to 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:18.160 say and now the Cardinals. One of the big keys 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:21.000 to this season, in the opinion of the Cardinals running back, 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.960 is to adjust to what they saw midway through last season. 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:30.040 And the finish was well reflective of some of the 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:32.920 struggles the Cardinals had on offense. They started six and 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:34.840 three they lost five or the last seven, and Cliff 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.760 Kingsbury was asked about twenty twenty. Nobody was half of 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:40.560 how that ended. It's just an abrupt end. You don't 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.080 expect it to happen, and then you kind of go 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:46.200 your own way. And so we've definitely addressed it in 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:49.120 the team meeting, and there's a lot of new faces 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:51.360 that weren't around for it, but they understand how it 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.240 happened and what it looked like, and there's a lot 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.880 of highly motivated players. Yeah, suffice it to say that 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.559 was part of his initial address to the team, talking 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:04.080 about the finish a last season, and well, how would 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.400 you diagnose that when people ask you about that the 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:09.480 start and then the finish before and the after, what 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:11.800 do you tell them? You know what? PAULI, honestly, I 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.560 just think the Arizona Cardinals became a little bit I 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:16.600 don't want to say cocky in any way shape or 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:18.920 for him, but I think they became a little bit 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.800 too predictable in what it was that they were going 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.240 to do. I think it was a situation where they 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.280 like to throw the ball an awful lot. They use 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.880 Kyler Murray and Kyler Murray running the ball an awful lot. 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.440 This is something that I think they've got to adjust 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:36.120 their offense around. Bally. I don't think you can make 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:40.080 Kyler Murray the central figure of your offense. And when 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:43.120 I say that, I'm talking about obviously a quarterback. His 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:45.960 job is to throw the ball. That's what his job is. 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:48.880 His job is too scramble and use his legs to 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:52.240 extend plays and make plays there's no doubt about that, 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.520 and even run in some situations. But if you're going 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:59.800 to build your rushing attack around your quarterback running the ball, 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:03.560 in order to be successful, a successful running the ball, 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.640 you've got to have your quarterback running the ball. I 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.040 just don't think Polly, that is something that is going 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:13.400 to be repeatable in the National Football League. I think 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:15.480 at some point in time, Paulli, it's got to be 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:20.720 about your offensive line and your running backs running the ball. Sometimes, Poly, 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.080 you just got to line up and as you've heard 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.840 me say all off season, sometimes you gotta line up 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.960 and just be better than the dude across from you. 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.440 You know, we talked about it in December, did we not, 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:33.840 the final month of the season, and it was adjust 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:39.400 to the adjustment whatever defensive coordinators did to nullify Kyler Murray. 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.719 Through the first nine games of last season, he had 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.400 twenty seven offensive touchdowns. It's either throwing it or running 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:47.319 for it, and over the last seven games he had 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:51.120 only ten. Now in between there he had the shoulder injury. 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:54.240 There's no doubt about that, and and Cliff Kingsbury mentioned that, 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:56.400 and there's still all been no real mention as to 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.120 the severity. It was a factor. We don't know how big, 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.400 but there's out about it. When when you have Chase 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.240 Edmonds at the podium yesterday and he says, and I quote, 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:09.440 we put it on ourselves. We folded, point blank period. 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.440 We have to be better. And then he talks about 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.640 the offensive identity that they have to find to start 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.960 this season, how they struggled the second half of last season, 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:21.559 how they got certain looks and teams took away the 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.880 primary identity and they didn't adapt. We've talked about it, Wolf, 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:27.400 how many times the offseason, the two high safeties, zone 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:30.760 coverage underneath and they challenge the Cardinals that way, Yeah, 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.680 run the ball. That's what they did. They challenged him 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:37.320 to run the ball. Look at Cliff Kingsbury is a 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:40.160 smart guy, as you well know Polly, he's also a 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.480 humble guy. But this is a return, I think, a 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.880 return of this offense hitting the reset button. Overall, Cliff 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.640 Kingsbury's got to lead the way in regard to just 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.840 saying hey, sometimes sometimes boys, you gotta just be better 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.000 than to do to cross from you. And that means 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:58.600 you've got to run plays where the defense knows what's come. 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:02.200 At Bully, you know what's coming, The defense knows what's coming. 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:06.880 Everybody knows what's coming. But try to stop it now. 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:10.120 You try to stop it now, even though you know 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:15.000 what's coming. Taint team after team after team they do this, 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.000 especially in the NFC. When you think of the Green 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:19.160 Bay Packers, this is what they do. When you think 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:22.160 of the Tennessee Titans, this is what they do. Everyone knows. 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.760 Here comes Derrick Henry. Here comes Derrick Henry on the 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:29.000 tackle zone. Here comes Derrick Henry on the twenty two 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:33.240 and twenty three double. Here comes Derrick Henry Downhill, Tampa Bay. 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.040 You play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, you better believe here 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:39.200 comes twenty two and twenty three double the power without 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.920 the poll. And then they're gonna use one play action 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:46.679 to throw the ball. Everybody knows it. It's something altogether 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.959 different to try to stop it. And I think this 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:53.520 is where the offense for the Arizona Cardles can really 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:56.600 grow is just hey, listen, you know, w lineup and 0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:00.800 just be better than somebody. You know. We'll get into 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:03.079 this a little bit later because Malcolm Butler's around the corner. 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:06.280 We'll talk more about the Cardinals offense and offense that well, 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.760 it featured DeAndre Hopkins to the point where he had 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:11.560 a larger percentage of a team's receiving yards in any 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.880 other receiver in the league. Joelson oh will that the 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.360 Cardinals in terms of pre snap motion ranked dead last 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.400 last year. Yes, the forty nine ers were first with 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.000 a raven seventy percent of their snaps compared to the 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:28.199 Cardinals thirty three point five percent. So you wonder how 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.440 the keyword is evolved on what's that going to look like? 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:33.040 We'll hear from Malcolm Butler next on the big Red 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:40.480 rage presented by satan Ford and Gilbert football is hit 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:44.480 the Patriot one the quarterban gilfs fits in the shotgun formation, 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.920 Lynch will flink into if left two wine to the airside, 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.480 one to the far in the shot gun, there's the 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:55.199 snape's belt high prick from the dinner sent the dintercepted 0:12:55.280 --> 0:13:00.559 by Molcolm Butler. Malcolm Butlers intercepted this little sent have 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:05.920 the goal line twenty seven shift. Butler does an unbelievable 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:09.800 job getting inside, and I'm surprised that Russell Wilson through it. 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:13.200 Here Paula read the play perfectly, one behind the pick 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.720 and ran right to where the slam was going to 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:22.079 be throne. So Wolf, if we will never forget that 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:25.439 Super Bowl winning pick and we're reminded of it every 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.720 time we walk onto the field through that south end zone, yes, 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:32.120 then how do you think the person responsible for it? 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:34.280 How do you think he feels? How do you think 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:37.480 he reacts? Because you know what, right here, right now, 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.120 in the big Red Rage, you have a chance to 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:42.960 ask that person. Because Malcolm Butler joins us, Cardinal's newest 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:47.760 cornerback and yes, the author of that Super Bowl ceiling interception. Malcolm, 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:50.280 how are we doing? I'm doing well? How about yourself? Man? 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.960 We're doing great? Malcolm. Thank you so much for joining 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.600 us right now. So have you had that moment? Have 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.840 you had that opportunity to kind of revisit the spot 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:01.120 on the field were you made one of the most 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:05.600 incredible plays of Super Bowl history. Um Nah, I haven't. 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:07.960 But you know when I walked in the stadium yesterday, 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.440 you know we had walked through. Um I don't know 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:12.840 how they got the field set up, but I couldn't 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.320 get to the spot. But once everything get back flat 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.520 and back to normal, I'm gonna sit on this spot. 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.000 You know. I did an interview in Seattle about the 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.560 NFCUS a couple days ago, and they talked about the 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:25.760 Cardinals a lot. Obviously, I see my opinion, et cetera. 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:27.680 And they asked about Pat Pete leaving and there and 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:29.560 then they said, wait a minute, the guy replaced him 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.520 as Malcolm Butler. We don't talk about Malcolm Butler and Seattle. 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.320 So have you ever been back to Seattle? And how 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.280 do you think you'd be treated if you were spotted 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:40.920 on the streets? Um Nah, I never Actually I never 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:44.560 played in Seattle, and um, I don't think there'll be 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:48.200 a big fan of me. But at the same time, man, 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.040 it's the game of football. Everyone should you know, love 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.880 the sports. Competitive, you know, I always go out way 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:57.200 and yeah, we got our opinions. Malcolm, I have to 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.800 ask you about that play quickly because it was truly 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.680 one of the most incredible plays I've ever seen. What 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:06.600 tipped you off on that? What gave you the idea 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:11.000 to jump at road? Well, Um, you know, obviously we 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:14.560 went over at practice, and you know, once they got 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:19.320 into formation, you know, it looked familiar to me. And um, 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:22.680 you know, as a as a high school player, always 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:25.320 you know, looked at the running back and you know, 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.680 see what, look at his eyes and see which way 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.760 he was going. But in that situation, I didn't think 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:32.280 they was running the ball, So I looked at the 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.680 quarterback and just see what he was eye in and 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:38.280 what he was looking at. And you know, uh, you 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:41.360 usually don't run stacks on the two yard line. And 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:44.080 and I just told myself, if this wide receiver step 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:47.360 to the right, I'm breaking it in. And that's what 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:51.000 were you a rookie? Was that your rookie year? Yes, sir, 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.760 I was a rookie. So think about that undrafted guy 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:57.360 out of West Alabama and you're making a Super Bowl 0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:00.360 winning play, just that one snap, that one point. How 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:03.360 do you think that's changed your life? Oh? It changed 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:05.680 my life. A lot. Man. It brung a lot of 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.760 pressure to me. Um, I think I handled it well. 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.280 You know, I wouldn't be playing in the NFL for 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:14.560 eight years if I didn't handled it well. Um. You know, 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.000 things changed, man. You know I became a you know, 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:20.880 a household name. You know. It wasn't perfect, but you know, um, 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:22.840 you know I just gotta keep your head down, working in. 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.360 You know it made me feel make me feel good, man. 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:28.280 I you know I was a celebrity overnight. Well know, 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:31.720 you know a lot of things changed. Man. So here 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:35.120 y'are Malcolm your first training camp of course as an 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:38.480 Arizona Cardinal. Talk to me about where your thoughts are now. 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:42.680 We're how's it going for you so far? And how 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:46.120 much are you anticipating this season? Um? You know I'm 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:49.480 looking forward to it. Um. You know I'm learning the playbook, 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:53.000 you know, getting to know my teammates. Um. You know, 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:55.560 trying to lead by example and not by talking all 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:58.280 the time. You know, Uh, I hear hustling to the ball, 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.840 you know, studying the studying my play book, you know, 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.680 encouraging the young guys to make plays and you know, 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.280 fight they weigh on the roster, you know, It's just 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:08.800 like I did, man. Um. You know I got big 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:12.359 expectation for for the Arizona cart this year. We just 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:15.760 got to play as a team. Um.

It's all about you, 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:29.880 Malcolm Butler. Presented by Santan Ford. It is the Big 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:32.639 Red Rage. What do you think vance Joseph and the 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:37.720 defensive coaches have learned about you in your game so far? Um? 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:41.800 You know I know they I think they I know 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:43.480 they know I like to tackle. You know I like 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:45.920 to cover. You know I like to do anything to 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:49.520 help the team win. You know, it's not too many 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:51.159 things I won't do on the field to help the 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:55.280 team win. And you know they know I'm a competitor. Um. Yeah, 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:59.240 that sums it up right there. Man. I want to win, Malcolm. Um. 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:02.680 Your coaches call you a dog, Your teammates call you 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:06.280 a dog, scouts call you a dog. You are, without 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:11.280 a doubt, an alpha dog. Where does that come from? Oh? Man? 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:16.840 It comes from you know, playing one year high school football. UM, 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:20.919 going to um juco um, you know, going to the 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:25.040 New England Patriots, UM making a try out out of 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:27.679 forty people, two out of forty people. And you know 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:29.800 it's I'm just I'm just an underdog man. And I 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:32.439 you know, I had to fight fight my way to 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:34.639 stay in this league. And that's that's what you gotta do, 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:37.480 especially if you're not a first round pick. No, no 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:39.840 offense against first round picks. But if you're an underdog 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:42.760 in this league, you gotta you gotta grind and scratch 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:45.199 each and every day, each and every play, you know, 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:49.359 to stay in this league, because, um, it's very competitive. 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:51.480 But you know, I always been a dog. I've always 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:53.240 been a dog. You know what else called him a 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:57.640 dog wolf? Rob Moore Titans receivers coach, our guy, Rob 0:18:57.680 --> 0:18:59.800 Moore played for the Cardinals, was on our broadcast team 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:01.240 for a while, and I had a chance to talk 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:04.159 with him. He immediately mentioned Malcolm bother And I know 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:06.720 after you signed or after last season, you tweeted out, 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:09.119 I balled at the age of thirty. I think I 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:12.560 can ball harder at thirty one. So I mean, how 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:14.159 much do you have left? Because I know that was 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:16.240 a question. Probably a lot of the haters out there 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:18.520 had to say on social media, right, yeah, yeah, man, 0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:21.840 I still got a lot in the tank. Man. You know, um, 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:25.360 I you know, I haven't had much injuries, a lot 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:28.679 of injuries and stuff like that.

I'm very confident um of my 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:38.639 performance on the field. So we'll see high go. But 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:40.959 I'm confident. I'm a bag that. Uh. Because you had 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:43.600 a career high four picks last season, you also had 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:46.800 a career high one hundred tackles. I mean a corner 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:49.040 with a hundred tackles. I mean, what what do you 0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:54.520 attribute that to? Malcolm? Someone someone? Right?

I'm talking about any type of technique in 0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:30.679 the secondary that you would employ on a third and 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:37.000 obvious pass situation. Um, man, I you know I'm gonna 0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:38.600 have to go with man and man, I'm gonna have 0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:41.000 to go to man. What kind of man press?
