Especially Wolf, Since what one DeAndre did to 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:31.120 the Bills, another DeAndre just did to the Clippers, did 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.640 he not? That is a great way to say it. 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:39.840 Polly truly incredible the value Polly lives and I'll tell 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:44.000 you what a great night for mandatory Psycho. Yes, Bernhard 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:48.200 psychovis who who really was the inspiration the trash talking 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:51.040 in German. Whether the translation was accurate or not, it 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:53.080 doesn't matter, but the tweet was out there, and you 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.080 know what, he set the tone for the Lakers series. 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:58.520 And now it's beat La times two as the Clippers 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.680 are in town and Sons are on their way hopefully 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.360 to the NBA Finals, and we are often running on 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:08.400 the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert. 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.320 We are Santanford, Paul kelvc Ron Wolfley and soon to 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:15.680 be joined by the Cardinals player from the International Pathway Program, 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:19.680 Bernhard Psychovits and wolf Let's just say he made a 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.280 comment in the offseason that I think is going to 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:24.360 make him one of your favorite guys, just based on 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:28.680 the mentality and mindset of the guy we're calling Psycho. So, Paully, 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.639 what exactly are you talking about? Because I actually had 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:35.440 the opportunity to meet Bernhard Psycho bits. Really there's a 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.040 name drop. Wow, Okay, right out of the gate we 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.520 get a flex from Ron Wolfley, no doubt about it. 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:42.880 Paully had the chance to meet him, and let me 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.359 just say I was very, very hopeful after our conversation 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:50.120 just talking to him. Psycho is what he prefers to 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.880 be called, right, not obviously in the terms of a 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:58.000 psycho path, but he goes by Psycho. That's what everybody 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.160 calls him. Of course, everybody he's been in the locker 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.320 room with, they call him Psycho. And that's what I'm 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:07.200 gonna call him tonight when we talk to him, not Bernhard, 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.240 I'm calling him Psycho. That's his nickname. That's what he 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:13.200 goes by, even in the locker room balling. Well, look, 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:15.720 you guys share one thing in common. It might be 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:17.639 the only thing, but it's a big thing, and it's 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:21.000 the reason you both play and played the game of football. 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.760 We'll get into that a little bit later. We do 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:29.239 know that one other definite directive from the top the GM, 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:32.600 Steve Kim, was to find guys who love the game 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.200 of football this offseason to the point where you know 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.520 what they're gonna bring, the leadership, they're gonna bring the 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.960 physicality and right out of the gates Wolf. Because you've 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.520 talked about it over and over again and I think 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.360 it's what all eyes are gonna be on when the 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:49.800 preseason starts, especially when the regular season starts in Tennessee 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:54.120 Week one. Steve Kim on that leadership that he hope 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.600 just permeates that entire locker room. Here's the GM two 0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:59.880 of our offseason goals. I think that really stand out 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:02.720 to me was becoming more physical as a football team 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.040 and adding leadership to our locker room. And I think 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:09.000 that in many respects, I call itself policing your locker room, 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.000 which we can't go home with these guys at night. 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.440 We can't tell them how much tape to watch. They 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:15.680 have to do it on their own. They have to 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:19.159 have the passion and the want to. And those three editions, certainly, 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:21.880 in my opinion, have really raised the bar for us 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.680 in that respect. And he's talking about JJ Watt and 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:28.119 Rodney Hudson and AJ Green in particular, all three guards 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:31.479 guys part of that twenty eleven draft class. And to me, Wolf, 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.680 he's trying to change the DNA of this team from 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:35.919 the inside out. No, that is a great way of 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.240 putting it, Paully right there. It's all about your leaders 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.080 walking around and modeling what it is that you believe 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.840 in and how they play, how they go about their business, Paul, 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.119 In the game of football, do you think knocking people 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:50.120 to the ground is a big deal? Do you think 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:52.760 that is big that checks a big box, Paully. Do 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.240 you think there are players that respect that when they 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.640 see another guy knock another man to the ground, right, 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:02.239 or whip another man physically, Whether you're running a route 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.799 and you do it in a physical way, aj Green, 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:07.680 whether you're line up and your JJ want and you 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:12.440 arm under, rip on somebody, get the edge, make a sack, 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:17.600 just physically whip somebody. Man. This game is about beating people. 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:21.480 It's about driving people into the ground. It still is, PAULI. 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.960 Even though it's not nearly as brutal as at once was. 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:29.520 This game is still about forcibly removing another man from 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:33.240 the line of scrimmage. It will always be about that. 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.800 And when you do that, and when you do it well, Paul, 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:39.680 the respect level just goes up in the locker room tremendously. 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.880 And then that guy who's got all that cred, all 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:47.560 that respect, walks around and then challenges his teammates to 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:51.120 do the same thing. It's a mentality, Paul, that takes 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:54.680 over a locker room. And it's not just the addition 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.720 of a JJ Water, Rodney Hudson and AJ Green. It's 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.600 the addition of a Brian Winners, a Maller right card 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:03.880 his job to lose. It's the addition of a big back, 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:09.040 of bruising running back like James Connery two. And then 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.280 you have even a cornerback like Malcolm Butler. A quick anecdote, 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:14.839 I had a chance to talk with Rob Moore, former 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:18.080 Cardinals greater receiver, now the receiver's coach for the Tennessee Titans. 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.240 What was the last team for Malcolm Butler? And where 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:24.359 is he coming from? Yeah, Tennessee, Paul and so there. 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.760 And as soon as I mentioned Malcolm Butler, Rob Moore said, oh, oh, 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.479 he'll fight you on every down, now, street rat, Yeah, 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:33.200 that was the way. That's by design, is it not? Wolf? 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.719 I mean, Steve conn went out and targeted these guys. 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:39.159 I guess my question is why what did he see? 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.200 Obviously there are needs and wants every offseason, why did 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.080 he target this particular area right Bally, First of all, 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.680 let me just say I was answering your question rhetorically, 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.440 of course, right because I assume that's how you asked it. 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.440 Right there was Tennessee indeed, of course. And let me 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.039 just say this right now that when you bring a 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.960 guy like Malcolm Butler in right now, Paul, you're you're 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.479 you're what do I call you? I call you the wolverine. 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:03.279 That's what I call you. Why do I call you that? 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.520 Because you don't want to back Paul KELVC to a 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:07.640 corner place the staff all right, I see him to 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:09.480 take a bottle over the head. Now listen, Paul, I'm 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:11.600 not going to talk about that right now. I'm just 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.640 saying there are guys. It doesn't matter what your size are, 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.400 what your size is, I should say, there are guys 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.400 that go out there on the field and they play 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:24.200 much bigger than their stature. Malcolm Butler is that guy. 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:28.080 He is a dog through and through. And Paulie, this 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.960 is what Steve kind clearly when you look at the 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.640 six names that you wrote down, here are there are 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.600 guys on this list. When you're talking about Malcolm Butler, 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:42.520 James Connor, Brian Winters, JJ Watt, Rodney Hudson, and AJ Green, 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:47.240 those guys are all dogs. And now you put him 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:49.760 in a locker room that has some notable dogs as well, 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:54.960 including guys like Marcus Golden and Chandler Jones. I expect 0:07:55.080 --> 0:08:01.360 really good things from this culture change, the physicality, the accountability, 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:05.440 that leadership. Buddha Baker was talking about the defense and 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:09.520 his quote this offseason was quote, we're able. We're now 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:12.720 able to hold each other accountable. Yeah, that's something that 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.720 guys haven't really done the past few years, hold each 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:19.880 other accountable. That's Buddha Baker, all Pro Safety talking about. 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:23.480 There was a need for that accountability. So yeah, that 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:27.080 sort of leadership. Yeah, that physicality, and when it comes 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:29.200 to the XS and os, I'm real curious, Well, if 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:32.960 what does this mean, for example, in the Cardinals run game. Yes, 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.840 for example, here's DJ Humphries when Sean Coogler was promoted 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:40.520 to run game coordinator. Right, and that was back in January. 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:42.880 Here's what the Cardinals left tackle had to say. I 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.760 know who Cooks is, and I know if he's involved, 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:48.000 I know we're gonna be downhill and we're gonna be 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:49.920 running that people, and we're gonna be physical because that's 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.360 just what he coached. That's that's who we are as 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:55.240 a unit. I'm so excited. Congratulations to him, super excited 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.559 for my guy Coops. So to what degree, and I've 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:59.160 said this for years, are the Cardinals about to hit 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.640 the big red rees? Said Button again, Wolf, And do 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.559 you expect the offense to look a little different, especially 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.400 that run game? I do, Polly, I do you know? Again, 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.600 it is going to be the biggest thing that I'm 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.440 looking for going into the regular season. I don't know 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.600 how much we're gonna see during preseason. Of course, only 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.640 three preseason games, and once again we know that Cliff 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.400 Kingsbury likes to play it very close to the vest 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.320 and not tip his hand in any way, shape or form. 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.280 So I don't know if we're going to see it 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:29.920 in the preseason. But man, I am certainly interested in 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:33.199 how the Arizona Cardinals in rundown situation are going to 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.160 line up and whether or not with a guy like 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.200 James Connor who's two hundred and thirty two pounds, even 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:42.000 Chase Edmonds runs the ball very well in between the tackles. 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:45.000 To see them line up and actually try to hammer 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:48.240 the ball in between the tackles, that to me is 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.439 the biggest question I have going into training camp. How 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.680 often are you going to put Kyler Murray under center, 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:55.720 and what kind of play action game are you going 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.679 to tie into that off that hammering of the box. 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.720 We know he has a brand new center and Rodney Hudson. 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.760 The question on that offensive line is right guard. We 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.920 mentioned Brian Winners six four three, twenty and eight year 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.560 vet with the Jets in Buffalo most recently. You got 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.719 Justin Murray who's had seven starts a year ago at 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:17.480 thirteen starts twenty nineteen. Josh Jones, the rookie third rounder 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.640 yesterday from last year that is six seven three ten right, 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:24.319 four year starter at left tackle at Houston. He's in 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:27.439 the mix. Max Garcia is in the mix, but once again, 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:29.800 Brian Winners is the guy they target in free agency. 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.560 Here's the GM on the potential starting right guard. The 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.040 addition of Brian Winners excites me. He's a guy that 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.400 I've watched for years, dating back to Kent State when 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:42.960 he came out. Really physical player, smart, really good quickness 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:44.560 in a short area, and I think he does a 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.720 great job in pass protection. So he's a guy that 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.560 certainly will have a chance to compete. Not a lot 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:55.480 of position battles going into camp I'm thinking cornerback two perhaps, 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:57.240 you know, I mean, you have some different but right 0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.319 guard is probably gonna be the biggest position battle I 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.720 would imagine going into camp. No, you're right about that, 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:05.240 Bally right guard right justin Murray. Of course, maybe Josh 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:09.440 Jones getting some reps at right guard as well, Brian Winners. 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:11.880 It's gonna be Yeah, that's gonna be one of the 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:15.960 more hotly contested positions. Baali. And you know your point 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.760 about what will Cliff Kingsbury show in the preseason, because 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:22.800 year number one, twenty nineteen, he showed nothing and what 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:26.520 happened the first half of the first game was arguably 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.440 the worst half of offensive football the Cardinals have played 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.320 in the Cliff Kingsbury era against Detroit right they didn't 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.800 have a preseason last year. And remember on the Coaches 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.760 Show he said as much that he regretted and perhaps 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:39.839 learned a lesson. So I'm wondering how much more they 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:44.040 do show this August in the three preseason games about it. 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.199 Sometimes you gotta line up and just be better than 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.160 your opponent. Paul, will we come back. We're gonna line 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:53.319 up and unleash mandatory Psycho bernhard'sych of. It's next on 0:11:53.400 --> 0:12:00.199 The Big Red Rage. How did you get into football? Well? 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.720 What was that process like? If if you getting introduced 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.160 to the sport as a kid coming from Europe, every 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:09.760 young kid starts with soccer, but I never really enjoyed 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.920 it a lot. What I like most about football is 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.600 like the physicality and you can do stuff you can 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.000 really not do in real life, Like you can hit 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:21.120 people and you can lose your mind. Basically, I don't 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.800 know that really excites me and I couldn't find it 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:27.000 in soccer. Well, if there you go. That's the answer 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:28.959 to the question we pose in the first segment here 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.800 and the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert. 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:35.680 What do you four time Special Team Pro Bowler and 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:39.480 Wedgebuster have in comment with Bernhard's psyche it's one of 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:46.400 the newest Arizona Cardinals and if nothing else, mentality and mindset, physicality, Polly, 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.560 that's what we have, Ding Ding Ding when her chickened 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:51.400 and her yeah, I mean there's no way he could 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.599 have continued to be a quarterback over in Europe. You know, 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.719 good thing he changed positions. We can't answer. It's all 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:59.719 about you presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert and when 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.960 no further ado Bernhard's psychists joins us on the big 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.439 red rate. Bernard, how are we doing tonight? That's so guys, 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:08.520 I'm great. How are you doing great? Now? Is it 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.280 okay if I call you Psycho? Because I've met you, right, 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:14.840 I've met you, and I hope you remember meeting me 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.360 in the conversation that we had. I am the color 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:20.360 analyst for the Arizona Cardinals, and I hope it's okay 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.680 if I call you Psycho? Is that all right? Bernhard? 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:26.880 Of course yes, I remember the meeting. You told me 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:29.319 the first thing you told miss that you love playing chickoff. 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:35.040 It was it was so liberating. If you can imagine 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:38.040 Psycho running down the field and there were four men 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:41.800 that were three hundred pounds the size of Saturn's third moon, 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.280 and you had to take two of those men out 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:46.920 to the wedge. Is no longer allowed in the game 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.480 of football. And that is what I did for ten years. 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.520 And Buddy, I gotta tell you, I think you would 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:55.080 have been really really good at sticking your face onto 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:59.040 a man's sternum and breaking it. I'll tell you what 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:02.040 I tell you what he remembers. That's his first takeaway. Wolf. 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.559 His other takeaway, I guaranteed is who's the guy with 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:08.000 a pro wrestler voice? That's that's his other takeaway. Right, 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:09.880 I'm talking to a guy. Now, wait a bit of ball. 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:11.600 It's like, oh, I've got to ask you this right 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:16.839 off the top two? What is the best food in Austria? Oh, 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.680 the best food. I gotta go with the schnitzel. Oh, 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:24.480 I think it's also something you know, Yes, the schnitzel. Okay, 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:26.880 that to be right there, I'd have to go to Vienna, 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.160 all right, in order to get the best with the 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:32.280 last name like wolf Ley and your German heritage. I mean, 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:34.440 you know, it's all about the schnitzel with the wolf. 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.280 Let let's just put it that way. What are you 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:39.720 missing the most from Austria in the homeland, Bernhard? What 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:43.560 are you missing the most being here in Arizona? Um? 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:47.560 First off, I really felt really welcomed at the Cardinals, 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.440 and everybody took great care of me. So it was 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:54.440 a really smooth transition for me. Um. Even um, even 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.160 though I don't have family or any friends are new 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:01.320 from before over here. Um. But to be honest the most, 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.240 Like the biggest thing I miss is the family of course, 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:08.520 like missing seeing them all the time and my granddad 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:12.680 and all that. Um. Um. So I'm really looking forward 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:16.440 going back home for for like short two weeks before 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:19.320 I come back again. Um. But to be honest them, 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.760 it's been pretty good over here, so I haven't been 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:25.560 homesick or anything. So how is it going for you 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:31.080 here your experience in the National Football League? How's it going? Um, 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:35.160 It's going pretty pretty good, um, I believe. I mean 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:39.720 we're practicing hard every day, um um, putting everything in 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:44.480 we have. Um. Um. The transition so far has been 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:48.960 really smooth. As I said, um Um, I came in 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:50.720 and I thought it would be a little bit more 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.640 up temple, but I guess the okas this year are 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.880 um I don't know how to say it, but like 0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:01.000 we only had helmets on and stuff like that, so um, 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.200 it wasn't too taxing on the body. Um. But I 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:06.920 guess for a rookie that's good because you can kind 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:11.880 of smooth in there. But yeah, it's it's been pretty good. Um. 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:15.680 I'm still trying to meet everybody at the facility, which 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:19.160 is pretty hard for me. Remembering all the names and stuff. Um, 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.440 but I'm gonna get there. The last time he met 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:24.600 the media, and we're on board with Bernhard's Psyche it's 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:27.800 newest Arizona Cardinals. Tight end. You were still in quarantine 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:30.080 in a hotel room. You had just arrived from Europe. 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:33.280 So what have you learned so far about the NFL 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:39.840 that perhaps you didn't know? Um? I mean I came 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:45.040 in prepared to kind of this business monster the NFL, 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:51.280 like the cup throat style, but I've I've as I said, 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:55.080 I walked into a facility everybody welcome with open arms, 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.320 so I didn't really feel any of that. Um. It's 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:02.360 it's honestly, it's just been a great experience and I 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.840 have fun every day I walk in there and get 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:09.040 to work. And that's also really rewarding because all the 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:13.480 time playing in Europe and like not getting anything out 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:16.159 of the sport except for playing the sport that you 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:20.800 love with your friends. But now you even get like 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:24.520 like a reward, like actual money reward, which is really 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:29.320 cool for me. M Yeah, that's probably the biggest change 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:33.080 for me. Psycho are you Are you honestly a celebrity 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:35.760 over in Austria? Right, I mean, how many guys are 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:39.200 playing in the National Football League, How many guys actually 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.040 have the opportunity to play in the National Football League 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:45.560 walking around Austria, do do your friends know that? How 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:50.560 big of a deal is that? I mean, I don't 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:52.280 want to say it's like a really big deal, but 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:56.520 of course, like the football community in Austria which is 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:01.800 growing every day, I guess everybody knows about it, and 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:06.120 people are really intrigued by it, especially the young players 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:09.480 that I've even coached at the Vikings and all the 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:14.120 other teams are really like happy for me and into it, 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:18.119 because that's everybody's dream, even if you grow up in Austria. 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:22.440 Of course it seems so far away. But if if, 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:25.600 even if only if one guy makes it, or like 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:29.280 gets a chance in the NFL to make it, that 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:32.200 fuels a lot of young kids all went off to 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:36.880 in Europe. I've been talking to kids from Germany, from Swiss. 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:40.000 I mean a lot of people people reached out to me, 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:44.000 and it's it's just really humbling to see what kind 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:49.000 of like effect you have on young people back home. 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:52.359 Very cool Bernhard's side. If it's our guests from the 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:55.679 International Pathway Program on the Cardinals roster competing for a 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:59.080 spot and Wolf. To answer your question, just go ahead 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:01.760 and go to Twitter and check the hashtag German bird Gang, 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:04.800 Okay or Vienna Vikings. I mean, yeah, he's a big deal, 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:07.120 no doubt about it. Going back to how you got 0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:10.119 into football, you said, if I saw this correctly, you 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:13.400 fell in love with football after your first Oklahoma drill. 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:19.120 Is that accurate? Yes, that's accurate. I mean I'm back 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:23.439 in the days in Vienna. The coaches used to be 0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:26.320 pretty old school, I would say, so the first thing 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:29.720 the rookies would do is like tackling drills and one 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:34.520 really big tackling drillers of course, the Oklahoma drill. And 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:37.960 still to this state, I always see the young guys, 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:41.520 the under ten guys doing tackling drews and Oklahoma drews, 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:45.720 and yeah, like the first d it I felt weird 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:48.320 at the first, but I don't know, I kind of 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:51.040 enjoyed it, and yeah, that's what made me stick to 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:54.200 the sport. So Psycho, I was a fullback for ten 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:57.160 years in the National Football League, a blocking fullback. They 0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.040 did not give me the ball. I had twenty three 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:02.800 receptions in ten years. If you can imagine that twenty 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:05.879 three in ten years. So those are all checked out. 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:08.399 Knock it off, Paul, it was not they hit me 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:12.280 in the flat on multiple occasions. Okay, UM, how many 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:14.320 times would you like to be put into a three 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:17.840 point stance in the I formation? I'll ask you that, 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:20.560 would you are you are they putting you in that? 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:24.560 Or would you like to be put at that? Um? 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:27.439 As of right now, I have not been put in that, 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:31.959 but I will, of course do whatever coach asks for me. 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:36.880 I'm not afraid of any challenge. I think, Um, if 0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:40.440 it helps you to you, of course I would do that. Um. 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:43.600 But I also think that I have upsides in the 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:48.119 catching game, of course, passing game. Um. But yeah, I 0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:52.600 just enjoyed playing the sport. I've played numerous positions growing up, 0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:56.480 and I've enjoyed every one of them. So I don't 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:58.560 think it would be a problem for me. Okay, Psycho 0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:02.119 on that note right there, would rather catch a touchdown 0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:07.840 pass or knock somebody on their butt? I think I 0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:10.919 think those are pretty much on the same level. Um. 0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:17.239 Like I really enjoyed like the physical physicality of the game. Yes, um, 0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:20.119 and when you just man handle another guy that is 0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:23.560 a grown up man just like you are. That's that's 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:27.800 a really great feeling. But also, um, running away from 0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:30.639 someone or choking someone else to catch to touch some 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:33.800 it's also a really vorting feeling for me. That's a 0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:36.240 good answer right there. We'll see Wolf had a regroup 0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:38.520 with another question because he failed yet again to put 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:41.920 a fullback into Cliff Kingsbury's offense, so he had to 0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:44.959 change directions and call an audible right there. You know, 0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:48.439 when you met the media initially, you said that you 0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:51.840 felt like you're ready to compete at this level. Have 0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:54.360 you proved? Has that proven? Have you seen from what 0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:57.600 you've seen? How confident are you you can compete when 0:21:57.600 --> 0:22:03.199 training camp comes around? Um? So, of course, growing up overseas, UM, 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:05.960 I never watched the NFL game live, so I could 0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:08.880 never or college games, so I could never see how 0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:12.240 big the buddies really are or how fast they move. Um. 0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:15.040 So the biggest thing for me coming over here, the 0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:17.760 first thing I wanted to see for myself is how 0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:22.200 big are they? How fast are they? U? And even 0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:25.040 as I said, we didn't do any like we just 0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:27.920 had helmets on, so we didn't go head to head 0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:32.600
