Speaker 1: Much is required? I think I've heard that somewhere before.
Speaker 1: Ron Boefley, I think I have as well, Polly, Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: maybe on Sundays. This is the Kyler Murray Big Red
Speaker 1: Contract edition, all presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. We
Speaker 1: are santan Ford. Shortly it'll be starring Kurt Warner, who
Speaker 1: knows a thing or two about the physician. Can't wait
Speaker 1: to get Kurt's thoughts on all of this. That was
Speaker 1: a great get there, Polly, Well, very well done by
Speaker 1: our Jim al mondro Ron Wolfley. Your reaction when earlier
Speaker 1: today I believe you were maybe even on the air
Speaker 1: when this news came down. If you weren't, you spent
Speaker 1: a good four hours talking about it. No exactly, Polly,
Speaker 1: it was. It came down just before we actually hit
Speaker 1: the air, Polly, And a lot of relief actually, because
Speaker 1: once again this whole thing could have gotten really, really bad.
Speaker 1: The fact they got it done even before you got
Speaker 1: close to training camp, Pauly. I mean I thought maybe
Speaker 1: the twenty fifth, maybe Monday, after a weekend, right maybe
Speaker 1: the twenty six, Pauly, when they were actually going to
Speaker 1: report right up to the deadline, and that was not
Speaker 1: the case. So pleasantly surprised that they got this deal done.
Speaker 1: I believe it was about one thirty this morning, and
Speaker 1: now you know what you can move forward. So what
Speaker 1: is it? A two hundred thirty million dollar extension five years,
Speaker 1: maybe a two thirty point five so you're just ahead
Speaker 1: of Deshaun Watson in the annual compensation forty six point
Speaker 1: one million per year locked up through twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1: Depending on what you believe. Sports Illustrated says it's about
Speaker 1: one hundred and five million guaranteed one hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: two million guaranteed for injury. Either way, it's the biggest
Speaker 1: deal in Arizona Cardinals history. And earlier today, Cliff Kingsbury
Speaker 1: on the Dave Pass Podcast just talking about, you know
Speaker 1: what a generational talent and an all time contract. He's
Speaker 1: going to continue to get better. The contract deal I
Speaker 1: feel really good about. He's our future here. I mean
Speaker 1: the talent I have said it since I got here
Speaker 1: is generational. Each year you look at the statue, you
Speaker 1: look at any wins, anything, it's gotten dramatically better. And
Speaker 1: that's what I've been really excited about. I knew when
Speaker 1: we drafted him he had a chance to be one
Speaker 1: of the top guys in the league. I think he's
Speaker 1: proven that. I mean, kids come in Rookie of the Year,
Speaker 1: back to back Pro Bowls. I think he takes criticism,
Speaker 1: which we all do. I think some of his is
Speaker 1: unfair for some reasons I won't get into here, but
Speaker 1: we know what he brings, and every Sunday we line
Speaker 1: up with him as quarterback, we have a real chance
Speaker 1: to win any game. You know what, Pauli, The Cardinals
Speaker 1: officially have their franchise quarterback party. I mean, whether I
Speaker 1: want to call him a franchise quarterback or not, PAULI,
Speaker 1: they officially have their franchise as quarterback. And I love
Speaker 1: the fact that Cliff Kingsbury acknowledged right in the beginning
Speaker 1: of that clip that Kyler Murray is only going to
Speaker 1: get better, because that's what I believe. I believe he
Speaker 1: is only going to continue to mature as a man
Speaker 1: and mature as a player. Well, we've seen two Pro
Speaker 1: Bowls in his first three years, not too bad. And look,
Speaker 1: we've seen defensive coordinators lose a lot of sleep. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you think about what he presents, from the athleticism
Speaker 1: to the armed talent to the accuracy, you still think
Speaker 1: of the potential in the upside, you understand why they've
Speaker 1: locked him up through two twenty eight. Intriguing. A little
Speaker 1: comment there from Cliff Kingsbury though just maybe on some
Speaker 1: unfair or untoward criticism when it comes to Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1: That was intriguing. In fact, it's a really good Listen
Speaker 1: to Dave Pash podcast. You got to check it out
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts and follow along on Twitter
Speaker 1: app Haash Pod. And then here's the head coach defending
Speaker 1: Kyler and some of the aspects of his game on
Speaker 1: and off the field with Dave. Everybody's going to have
Speaker 1: their their own opinion. But the kid came to the
Speaker 1: worst team in football and the worst offense by far.
Speaker 1: You know that that had occurred in a long time
Speaker 1: in this league, and all he's done has improved every year.
Speaker 1: He's improved the organization, he's improved the team. And because
Speaker 1: he doesn't smile and wave at the camera every day,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he's this this villain and never
Speaker 1: got in trouble off the field. You've never heard one
Speaker 1: bad thing about him off the field, negative towards any
Speaker 1: person in the building. And so at times I think
Speaker 1: there's certain aspects to him that that draw that criticism.
Speaker 1: But we're thrilled the progress he's made and where the
Speaker 1: thing's head and I know he's excited about this upcoming season.
Speaker 1: You know, as Justin Pugh said on a recent addition
Speaker 1: to the pash Pot quote, we've all seen what this
Speaker 1: looks like without Kyler Murray, and nobody wants that again.
Speaker 1: Because Cliff Kingsbury is definitely right. Twenty eighteen, they weren't
Speaker 1: just thirty second in the NFL and offense, they were
Speaker 1: historically bad so. And as he also told Davey said, hey,
Speaker 1: look at Kyler's best when he is at his best.
Speaker 1: I don't know who's better in this league. You think
Speaker 1: about that, Polly, I know, man, seriously, this is something
Speaker 1: that we've had many, many conversations about Kyler Murray and
Speaker 1: the talent of Kyler Murray. When you think of his
Speaker 1: arm talent alone, he's right there with the best in
Speaker 1: the league. When you think about his legs, his ability
Speaker 1: to run the ball, he's right there with Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 1: one of the best in the league. Now you put
Speaker 1: those two things together right there, that's incredible from a
Speaker 1: talent perspective, Paul, I'm not talking about success at the
Speaker 1: quarterback position, which he's had an awful lot of, by
Speaker 1: the way, Okay, but I'm not talking about that. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about from a talent perspective, a skill set perspective.
Speaker 1: He's a combination of Pat Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. He
Speaker 1: is now. He doesn't have the stature the build of
Speaker 1: those guys, but his skills set is just like that,
Speaker 1: a combination of the two. You can't tell me that.
Speaker 1: The LA Rams just over a year ago, right last offseason,
Speaker 1: when they pulled the massive deal for Matthew Stafford said
Speaker 1: we better keep pace in our own division. Not long after,
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers traded away three first
Speaker 1: round picks for Trey Lance. They wanted themselves a future
Speaker 1: of football type athlete and quarterback. It's just it's something
Speaker 1: where he resets that bar and what the opponents are thinking.
Speaker 1: You know, It's what Larry fitzher Old said last week
Speaker 1: in the NFL Network. He's a guy that everyone around
Speaker 1: the league has to prepare differently for. Yes, and Larry
Speaker 1: also said, loosely quoting, there's nobody in the game as talented,
Speaker 1: that as as diverse and array of abilities in terms
Speaker 1: of that athleticism, ability to throw the ball, etc. But well,
Speaker 1: what is the charter for Kyler Murray. Now, I mean,
Speaker 1: the expectation isn't just to be a great quarterback. You
Speaker 1: have to be a great face of the franchise. You
Speaker 1: have to be a great leader, and in my opinion,
Speaker 1: you have to be a big part of the culture
Speaker 1: going Yeah, Paul, I heard you saying that earlier today,
Speaker 1: and you are so right on the money in regard
Speaker 1: to that, He's got to be the culture of the
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals going forward. That means, PAULI, he's got to
Speaker 1: accept that responsibility. And that's one of the big things too.
Speaker 1: That is one of the big stories about Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: and the signing of the extension today, the fact that
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals are not going to go into a
Speaker 1: training camp with this as a story, Paul, because that
Speaker 1: could have been really, really nasty. That could have been bad.
Speaker 1: And you know, a Cliff Kingsbury actually got his wish.
Speaker 1: He wanted Kyler Murray to be signed from day one,
Speaker 1: going into training camp when they all were supposed to report.
Speaker 1: He wanted Kyler Murray there. And that is going to happen, Paul.
Speaker 1: Days in advance, as a matter of fact, that's going
Speaker 1: to happen. I think that's a big deal. And you
Speaker 1: know what, Look, we can all look at this date
Speaker 1: and it kind of makes sense because quarterbacks reported today
Speaker 1: for the Arizona Cardinals, so they sync it up with
Speaker 1: this state. Okay, I get it, But fun the agent
Speaker 1: has been clamoring for this since basically day two of
Speaker 1: the offseason, right, and we got the Tolstoy length manifesto
Speaker 1: on all caps, and we got the scrubbing of the
Speaker 1: social media and a lot of that's just the process of,
Speaker 1: you know, negotiating a contract in twenty twenty two. I
Speaker 1: get it. The agents, the bad cop, the quarterbacks of
Speaker 1: the good guy. I get all that. But the fact
Speaker 1: that the Cardinals waited this long, I think there was
Speaker 1: more to it than that. For example, I think they
Speaker 1: wanted to demonstrate to the agent and any future agents
Speaker 1: trying to maybe flex a little muscle and accelerate the timeline.
Speaker 1: No, no no, no, no no, we'll do this on our terms,
Speaker 1: on our own calendar. You're not going to get this
Speaker 1: before the draft. And then number two, maybe, just maybe
Speaker 1: they wanted to have a series of conversations with Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray as Mike Garrelfolo, the NFL Network reported way back
Speaker 1: in early February at the start of this offseason. You know,
Speaker 1: the Cardinals very much wanted Kyler to take a step
Speaker 1: forward in a lot of these areas we cite. You know,
Speaker 1: it comes to leadership and having a bigger voice with
Speaker 1: his teammates. I'm guessing the Cardinals, I'm speculating, but I'm
Speaker 1: guessing that they made that point to Color you know what,
Speaker 1: this is now expected of you as one of the
Speaker 1: highest paid players in the game. Yeah, and you know, Paully, honestly,
Speaker 1: once again, to be fair about it's I don't really
Speaker 1: thinking the quarterbacks reporting if he would have missed that, okay,
Speaker 1: would have missed that. Even the players reporting on the
Speaker 1: twenty sixth, even the players doing that, I think you
Speaker 1: could could you could say, Okay, there's still time for
Speaker 1: him not to miss that first practice, because that first
Speaker 1: practice is going to be huge to me, I mean
Speaker 1: as a team collectively. I'm the twenty eight that to
Speaker 1: me was always the drop dead day once again. Episode

Speaker 1: All right, So everything we waited all off season four right,
Speaker 1: Phil in the blanks, how many years, how many millions?
Speaker 1: How much is guaranteed? The deal is done, The deal
Speaker 1: is big, and now some of the big questions for
Speaker 1: a guy who's been there and done that. Kurt Warner
Speaker 1: joins us. Next on the Big Red Rage presented by
Speaker 1: santan Ford in Gilbert. Here comes Kyler Murray, the number
Speaker 1: one overall pick in the NFL draft, and the future
Speaker 1: of the franchise takes the feel for the first time.
Speaker 1: That is a great throw, a great read by Kyler Murray,
Speaker 1: or you could just see it, Kyler Murray and the
Speaker 1: confidence starting to grow. They have seen the Heisman Trophy winner,
Speaker 1: a winner his whole life, backing it up with his play,
Speaker 1: had a thirty half the twenty at the fifteen ten
Speaker 1: five clips down, Kyler Murray, you are ridiculous. Murray magic.
Speaker 1: Nasty is as nasty does. And we all know that
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is nasty. The stuff you see in dreams
Speaker 1: and in video games, but not in the NFL. Some
Speaker 1: Murray magic in the form of a Murray montage right there,
Speaker 1: the collective voice of the Arizona Cardinals day passion around
Speaker 1: wolf yours truly Paul calvci on The Big Red Rage
Speaker 1: presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert so Wolf. I was
Speaker 1: on this radio show earlier today than national host. He
Speaker 1: hits me with how confident are you that Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: will lead the Arizona Cardinals to a Super Bowl? Paul
Speaker 1: calvac and I went with, well, yeah, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson flamed out in his first playoff game, and
Speaker 1: so did Peyton Manning, and they've done pretty well form themselves.
Speaker 1: But there's really only one person truly qualified to answer
Speaker 1: that question, the old right, the only quarterback ever to
Speaker 1: lead the Cardinals to a Super Bowl. We were there,
Speaker 1: and he joins us. Now, in fact, we have so
Speaker 1: much to talk about we do. Don't even have time, Kurt,
Speaker 1: for all your accomplishments and accolades. Let us go with
Speaker 1: the Hall of Famer. I think that covers a Kurt Warner.
Speaker 1: How are we doing? I'm doing good? How are you
Speaker 1: guys doing? I'm getting ready for a great season. Excited
Speaker 1: that Cardinals got Kyla are locked up and we don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about that drama going in the season.
Speaker 1: But I'm doing well, and I'm sad about this upsoming
Speaker 1: season in the health. Yeah, thank you so much, gray
Speaker 1: Beard for joining us. We really do appreciate this. But
Speaker 1: just give me your thoughts in general on Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: of course, and the Arizona Cardinals and the signing of
Speaker 1: this contract. What was the first thing you thought of
Speaker 1: when you actually heard the news? Well, I mean the
Speaker 1: first thing you always think, because I always come from
Speaker 1: a player's mentality, and that's good for Kyler. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's incredible that you know, a young kid like
Speaker 1: that has proven enough to earn that kind of contract,
Speaker 1: and we're talking about, you know, generational wealth that you're
Speaker 1: excited for guys when they get to that point and
Speaker 1: they sign on the dotted line with something like this,
Speaker 1: you know, beyond that, I'm just excited because thinking about
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's he's gotten better every single year and he's
Speaker 1: a young kid that's still growing and that's still you know,
Speaker 1: working his way to what he can be. But he's
Speaker 1: done enough in the short period of time that he's
Speaker 1: played to warrant getting this next deal. And you know,
Speaker 1: now obviously, you know, like all these teams now they're
Speaker 1: hoping that Kyler lives up to that contract, and living
Speaker 1: up to that contract can look a lot of different ways.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think big picture wise, we're always going
Speaker 1: to say, you know, leaving the team to a super
Speaker 1: Bowl is part of getting that big deal. But we've
Speaker 1: seen other guys in this league. You know that Drew Breeses,
Speaker 1: the Aaron Rodgers that have been great year in and
Speaker 1: year out and have led their teams to lots of
Speaker 1: wins and lots of playoff opportunities and opportunities to compete,
Speaker 1: that have only played in one super Bowl in twenty
Speaker 1: years and you know, eighteen years. And so there's lots
Speaker 1: of different ways to qualify living up to a particular contract.
Speaker 1: And so how it's going to be defined, you know,
Speaker 1: we'll see four years from now. But I love that
Speaker 1: they locked him up. And as I said, I love
Speaker 1: that this young kid has done enough in a short
Speaker 1: period of time to say I warrant this kind of deal.
Speaker 1: And now, you know, hopefully he steps into that and goes.
Speaker 1: But now I want to live up to it. I
Speaker 1: want to live up to what forty six million dollars
Speaker 1: a year means in whatever capacity that is. And uh,
Speaker 1: and I hope he rises to that challenge. Kurt Warner
Speaker 1: joins us on the Big Red Rage presented by Santan
Speaker 1: Ford in Gilbert. NFL Network will probably cover one of
Speaker 1: the Cardinals practices during Card's camp. If you could challenge
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray to get better in one area this season,
Speaker 1: what would it be, Kurt, Well, I mean, I think
Speaker 1: it would just be playing in the pocket and challenge
Speaker 1: him to, you know, learn to trust his eyes more
Speaker 1: than his legs, you know. And it's easy for me
Speaker 1: to say because I had no legs, you know, but
Speaker 1: when you have legs like Kyler Murray, I understand how
Speaker 1: it's easy to just go oh, at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, just let me out athlete everybody. But I think,
Speaker 1: you know, for him to take that next step, he's
Speaker 1: to be willing to trust his eyes and make decisions
Speaker 1: inside the pocket and allow his arm and his mind
Speaker 1: to beat people, not his legs. And that's where I
Speaker 1: would challenge him. The legs were always going to be
Speaker 1: a part of things, but makes the game easier by
Speaker 1: learning how to play in the pocket and learning how
Speaker 1: to make those decisions and trust that you don't have
Speaker 1: to win games by being an athlete all the time
Speaker 1: because he's such a gifted, gifted thrower. You know, I
Speaker 1: was talking to somebody on the radio today and I
Speaker 1: think if you put all the skill sets of every
Speaker 1: quarterback in the National Football League together, from athleticism to
Speaker 1: throwing ability, put it all together, he may be the
Speaker 1: most talented quarterback we have in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: He is such a gifted thrower of the football. And
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean just a big arm. He understands how
Speaker 1: to make different throws. He understands how to throw with touch,
Speaker 1: you know, and allow his players to get to the
Speaker 1: football and making it easier on his plays. And so
Speaker 1: it's a rare combination of his athleticism as well as
Speaker 1: his throwing ability. Now, if he can piece together, you know,
Speaker 1: getting better every year inside the pocket and making those
Speaker 1: layouts game in and game out, man, you know, it's
Speaker 1: already scary. You know, what did you say on the intro?
Speaker 1: Nasty is as Nasty does, and he's nasty, There's no
Speaker 1: doubt he's nasty. But if he could develop more inside
Speaker 1: the pocket along with everything else he has, man, it
Speaker 1: would really really be nasty for every NFL defense. So
Speaker 1: where do you think schematically this offense. Do you think
Speaker 1: this offense needs to evolve, Kurt, And if so, how,
Speaker 1: um Well, I mean that's a tough question because again,
Speaker 1: evolution a lot of times comes down to what you're
Speaker 1: able to do and what you're able to hang your
Speaker 1: hat on. You can't just always force an issue. You know, well,
Speaker 1: we haven't been good at this, so this is all
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. I just think the evolution really needs
Speaker 1: to come from Kyler and then come Cliff to figure
Speaker 1: out how he can take those steps inside the pocket
Speaker 1: without forcing it too much to not allow Kyler to
Speaker 1: do what he's capable of doing right now at this
Speaker 1: point in his career. So it's a fine line between
Speaker 1: forcing the issue because you believe he's got to get
Speaker 1: better in that capacity if they ever want to compete
Speaker 1: against the best teams and compete for championships. But you
Speaker 1: can't sacrifice success and what he's done, you know, I
Speaker 1: mean the last two years, first half of the season,
Speaker 1: he's been in the MVP conversation, So you can't sacrifice
Speaker 1: allowing him to be Kyler Murray. So it's really a
Speaker 1: fine line. When we talked about that evolution and how
Speaker 1: do you push that envelope in that area without sacrificing
Speaker 1: those other things that he's really really good at this
Speaker 1: point in time in his career, and you have to
Speaker 1: find that balance. And a lot of times I always think,
Speaker 1: you know, that's what training camp and preseason is for.
Speaker 1: Is Okay, we're not expecting Kyler to running. We don't
Speaker 1: want to running around making all these plays in training camp.
Speaker 1: I want him to stay in the pocket. I want
Speaker 1: to force him to play more in the pocket, and
Speaker 1: then if we can make some growth there in training camp,
Speaker 1: we can see some of that in the regular season
Speaker 1: when it's time to just say, Kyler, ball in your hands.
Speaker 1: We need you just to play your game when we're
Speaker 1: between those lines on Sunday. So I think a lot
Speaker 1: of the evolution happens more in the off season and
Speaker 1: in training camp and OTAs in preseason, as as opposed
Speaker 1: to expecting guys to every week get incrementally better at
Speaker 1: something when they're in the midst of the season and
Speaker 1: game planning and going out and just trying to win
Speaker 1: the next contest. Kurt Warner, I guest on the Big
Speaker 1: Red Rage. You know we were around back in the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl run and before then, Kurt As you know
Speaker 1: when people talk about Super Bowl forty three, and I'd
Speaker 1: tell him, you know, I'd really started three years earlier.
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner, more than any person in that locker room,
Speaker 1: was responsible for changing the culture of the Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 1: And we hear that about Kyler that he should be
Speaker 1: a bigger part of that, that the decision makers want
Speaker 1: him to have a bigger voice with his teammates and
Speaker 1: more of a leadership role. What does that mean to you?
Speaker 1: Can you just simply define that? What would you tell
Speaker 1: a young quarterback in terms of that aspect of their
Speaker 1: job description? You know, it's it's always twofold. The first
Speaker 1: thing is, well, I would say the biggest thing is
Speaker 1: you have to get guys in your locker room to
Speaker 1: believe and it's twofold one. It's getting them to believe
Speaker 1: in who you are as a player, that you know
Speaker 1: that you can do whatever this need, this team needs
Speaker 1: you to do to win every single game, that you've
Speaker 1: got the talent or the ability, or you're putting in
Speaker 1: the time, whatever it is, that those people watch you
Speaker 1: in that locker or watch you go to work every
Speaker 1: day and go, okay, we got a guy not just
Speaker 1: a talented guy, but a guy that i'm and I
Speaker 1: can go to battle with every week, and he's going
Speaker 1: to find a way to carry us when we need
Speaker 1: to be carried. So that's the first thing, is you
Speaker 1: have those figureheads in your locker room that will bring
Speaker 1: everybody with them. And then the second part is to
Speaker 1: be a guy that can instill belief in everybody else
Speaker 1: from the standpoint that of what they're capable of. When
Speaker 1: I came to Arizona, the biggest thing was I don't
Speaker 1: think anybody ever believed that we were going to win.
Speaker 1: Nobody believed what we were capable of, what the possibilities
Speaker 1: were with that team, you know, based on the past
Speaker 1: and the history and the guys that had been there
Speaker 1: and had never won, and so there was really no
Speaker 1: belief that we could ever get to the mountaintop. And
Speaker 1: so that was my job when I got there, was
Speaker 1: a show them that I'm capable of leading them there
Speaker 1: and be showing them that they're capable of getting there,
Speaker 1: showing them that they can be better than they have been,
Speaker 1: that when we come together collect we could do something
Speaker 1: that everybody else maybe feels as impossible. And what they
Speaker 1: felt was impossible when I walked into the locker room,
Speaker 1: and that, to me is how you build a cultures.
Speaker 1: It starts with believing, you know. And coach Wiz, I thought,
Speaker 1: did a great job when he came in of staying
Speaker 1: steadfast to what he believed in and saying this is
Speaker 1: how we're going to do it, and we're going to
Speaker 1: do it. And he stayed steadfast in that message and
Speaker 1: in his approach. And it's those kinds of things where
Speaker 1: you see incremental movement and then you start believing. And
Speaker 1: it takes certain people to be able to do that.
Speaker 1: And when you're the face of a franchise, obviously, when
Speaker 1: you play quarterback, that becomes your role. I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people are going to believe, at least to
Speaker 1: a degree that Tyler has the ability to lead them
Speaker 1: and win games with them. We've seen that he's going
Speaker 1: to have to convince them that he can take that
Speaker 1: next step and be good enough to win in the
Speaker 1: playoffs and you know, to get to super But the
Speaker 1: second part is to make sure that when they step in,
Speaker 1: the guys in that locker room believes, and that is
Speaker 1: a big part of that position, is connecting with guys
Speaker 1: and pushing guys and understanding how to compete with guys
Speaker 1: every day to push them to their limit, so they
Speaker 1: start believing in what they can accomplish, well, what their
Speaker 1: groups can accomplish. Kurt, We've heard this for so long,
Speaker 1: We really have over the years, of course, that a
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback one of the things they have to do
Speaker 1: is work harder than anybody else. First guy in, last
Speaker 1: guy to leave. We've heard that so much. Does that
Speaker 1: still apply in today's NFL? Well, I'm not in today's NFL,
Speaker 1: but I do believe well, Well, to me, as a leader,
Speaker 1: you have to earn respect of the guys around Yes,
Speaker 1: and I think there's lots of ways to earn respect,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, you know Wolf as much as me.
Speaker 1: Every time you walk in or hear somebody interviewed in
Speaker 1: the AWE season, you know, everybody says they're the hardest worker. Well,
Speaker 1: everybody can't be the hardest worker. Like, it's not the case.
Speaker 1: Everybody can't be that guy. But you do have to
Speaker 1: figure out what it is that you do that is
Speaker 1: going to earn the respect of the guys around you. Right,
Speaker 1: I felt that I worked hard, but I always felt
Speaker 1: like what separated me was I always felt like I
Speaker 1: was the smartest guy in every room. That you know,
Speaker 1: I knew more than everyone else. And that's where I
Speaker 1: earned my respect. Is that I could help teach everybody
Speaker 1: on the offense. I could help talk to guys on
Speaker 1: defense and tell them what I was seeing, and that
Speaker 1: intelligence that I had separated me and earned the respect
Speaker 1: of the guys around me. And I always had their ear.
Speaker 1: They always knew that I knew what we were doing,
Speaker 1: that I knew how to help them, and that's how
Speaker 1: I earned my respect. So first guy in, last guy
Speaker 1: to leave. I don't know if that's always the case,
Speaker 1: but I do believe the quarterback or the leaders have
Speaker 1: to earn that respect and have to have something that
Speaker 1: separates them from other guys, something that other guys look
Speaker 1: at and go, man, I want to be that guy
Speaker 1: or that guy's got something different about him. And I
Speaker 1: think that will always apply in leadership roles. Because you
Speaker 1: don't have respect. For whatever reason, you don't have respect,
Speaker 1: it's always going to be hard for guys to follow you,
Speaker 1: and especially when things get tough, or especially when you
Speaker 1: have to ask them to do something they don't want
Speaker 1: to do. They're always going to look back and go,
Speaker 1: well do you do it? You know, are you asking
Speaker 1: me to do something you're not willing to do? And
Speaker 1: so I do think to some degree that applies. I
Speaker 1: just don't think it always applies in exactly the way
Speaker 1: that you're talking about. Like, you know, I know we
Speaker 1: hear that all the time. What are you doing when
Speaker 1: you get in the building and what are you doing
Speaker 1: before you leave? To me, is more important than when
Speaker 1: you get in the building and when you leave the
Speaker 1: respect because it's so true, that's what you're after. How
Speaker 1: that it's distributed, it's probably different today. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: what you want to get ready for this NFL season.

Speaker 1: Kurt Warner, the driving force behind sharing Hall of Fame secrets,
Speaker 1: building better players, smarter coaches, and more informed fans. At
Speaker 1: QB confidential dot com, you get more of this sort
Speaker 1: of knowledge and insight. Kurt, Thank you, and we hope
Speaker 1: to see you next month. Out of the stadium, I
Speaker 1: am definitely gonna be there. I can't remember the day
Speaker 1: that I'm going to be out of the stadium, but
Speaker 1: I will be covering Cardinal Camp at one point, and
Speaker 1: we look forward to catching up. But it's always great
Speaker 1: to talk to you guys, and let's go have a
Speaker 1: great season. Right on, great Baird. The good news is
Speaker 1: neither one of you us to wear anymore about being
Speaker 1: tackled from behind by Larry Fitzgerald like it has happened
Speaker 1: at camp in the past. That's good, Kurt Warner. We
Speaker 1: continue with a big red rage presented by Satan Ford
Speaker 1: in Gilbert shotgun snapped at Wilson, straight drop back, steps
Speaker 1: up in the pocket, takes off on far side of
Speaker 1: the forty and drilled by Simmons at the forty one.
Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons is balling how you do things outside of
Speaker 1: the facility and off the field, like going home, and
Speaker 1: how long you choose to study, what you choose to
Speaker 1: do extra, what you choose to do after practice is over.
Speaker 1: That's something that I've always, you know, done, but you know,
Speaker 1: it's just a whole new level when you're a pro,
Speaker 1: just because at this level where everybody's physically gifted, everyone's
Speaker 1: an athlete, and I feel like where people separate them
Speaker 1: is the mental aspect of the games. Isaiah Simmons quoting
Speaker 1: danced Joseph Cardinals defensive coordinator this offseason, and this is
Speaker 1: on Isaiah and Zavian Collins. Quote it's their time, their
Speaker 1: first round picks. They have to help us. End quote
Speaker 1: danced Joseph Aron Wolfley, You're truly Paul CALVISI special thanks
Speaker 1: to Kurt Warner for joining us on the Big Red
Speaker 1: Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert. How about Kurt
Speaker 1: making that statement, if you put all the quarterbacks lined up,
Speaker 1: all their skill sets, that Kyler Murray might be the
Speaker 1: most gifted of every quarterback on the planet right now.
Speaker 1: So that was that was intriguing stuff. You talk about gifts, though,
Speaker 1: wolf and you talk about just sheer talent. I mean
Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons on the defensive side of the ball. You know,
Speaker 1: look he still has massive upside, doesn't he. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: he does, Polly And once again, I honestly, you know,
Speaker 1: the talent is so obvious on the offensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball. You just look at the offensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball and the talent, Bolly, it's so obvious. When
Speaker 1: you start with Kyler Murray, you got d Hop when
Speaker 1: he comes back, you got Hollywood Brown, you got zacherts
Speaker 1: On and on it goes, Yes, the talent is there,
Speaker 1: Yet the defensive side of the ball you can also
Speaker 1: see some talent. And I do believe that maybe the
Speaker 1: folcrum to the entire season, assuming the offense is gonna
Speaker 1: be what I think it's gonna be, and that's one
Speaker 1: of the best offenses in the league. I do believe
Speaker 1: that I expect them to do. With the talent they
Speaker 1: have and the offensive line now that Rodney Hudson is
Speaker 1: coming back, I think they're going to be one of
Speaker 1: the best offenses in the league. Having said that, maybe
Speaker 1: the entire season rests on the shoulders of the two
Speaker 1: young inside linebackers and how they develop Paul this year,
Speaker 1: because they're going to impact not only Rundown being first
Speaker 1: and ten, second and one to six, but also third
Speaker 1: and obvious of course they're going to impact and these
Speaker 1: are guys that may not come off the field, Paul,
Speaker 1: and because of that, they have a huge opportunity to
Speaker 1: impact not only the rushing game of an offense, but
Speaker 1: also PAULI the passing attack because we know the guy
Speaker 1: who's off the field permanently, and that's Jordan Hicks, team captain.
Speaker 1: Correct guy who played the most defensive snaps if anyone,
Speaker 1: last year, number two in tackles. Guess what, Jordan Hicks
Speaker 1: ain't walking through that door this season, So it's incumbent
Speaker 1: upon those two young inside linebackers. In fact, on the
Speaker 1: Pash podc Yes, I actually honestly do not know the
Speaker 1: answer to this question. I do not hear this part
Speaker 1: of the podcast. Yeah. Dave Pash asked clip Kingsbury if
Speaker 1: he could name a defensive player who he sees making
Speaker 1: a big leap this season. Is there a player in
Speaker 1: particular that when you talk with Vance, you guys are like, man,
Speaker 1: this this is going to be his year. We got
Speaker 1: a feeling about this, dude, Is there anybody? I'd say
Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons. I think we've found a role for him
Speaker 1: that we feel like he maximized what he does best,
Speaker 1: and he's such a dynamic athlete and when he's not
Speaker 1: thinking and just playing fast and attacking the football, good
Speaker 1: things happening for us. And there's year three in the system.
Speaker 1: I really saw some nice flashes this offseason and I
Speaker 1: expect him to play really well. Okay, that comment there
Speaker 1: from clip Kingsbury that we have found a role we
Speaker 1: have found a position that we really think suits him best.
Speaker 1: That yes, that is the big red question. And you
Speaker 1: know what, at the end of the press commerce Vans
Speaker 1: Joseph he was he was from it up by some
Speaker 1: of the media members, what is Isaiah Simmons Where exactly
Speaker 1: is he going to play? And his answer, Vance Joseph was,
Speaker 1: He's a linebacker first and that's where he's playing. Yet
Speaker 1: when we had the open media sessions this offseason, he
Speaker 1: seemingly was playing more safety than linebacker. And we've seen
Speaker 1: him in five or six different positions during regular season games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then didn't he also go to Ryan Clark's dB
Speaker 1: Precision Camp. Yes, he did, as a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: right as a dB. Now, listen, I think Isaiah Simmons,
Speaker 1: this is just me pure speculation. I think Isaiah Simmons
Speaker 1: is working on that part of his game because Vance
Speaker 1: Joseph is gonna move him around. He's not only going
Speaker 1: to play that week side inside linebacker. That's where I
Speaker 1: think he's still going to be grounded, where he's still
Speaker 1: going to start, but he's also going to be moved
Speaker 1: around and playing more of a safety position as well. Now,
Speaker 1: once again, I'm not saying he's gonna take Jalen Thompson
Speaker 1: or Buddha Baker's reps. I'm not saying that, maybe they're
Speaker 1: going to just have this true X factor and Isaiah
Speaker 1: Simmons out on the field. Now, Paul, you know what,
Speaker 1: Playing safety is more difficult I think for Isaiah Simmons,
Speaker 1: and because of that, I think he's spending a lot
Speaker 1: of time trying to work on improving that part of
Speaker 1: his game. You know what, in Week one against Kansas City,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what position he's playing. He's playing the
Speaker 1: position titled the guy who covers Travis Kelsey. That's his
Speaker 1: position in Week one against Kansas Cy. Now after that,
Speaker 1: I have no idea Well, week two, I guess to
Speaker 1: be the guy who covers Darren Waller. So about that.
Speaker 1: But look, here's my thing on where the Cardinals are
Speaker 1: currently constructed. If you want to get the best eleven
Speaker 1: on the field, Isaiah Simmons obviously is one of the
Speaker 1: most talented guys on that defense. But where exactly, Well,
Speaker 1: if you're a little thin at corner and guess what,
Speaker 1: you know what you have the two outside corners Marco Wilson,
Speaker 1: Buyer Murphy and their head and shoulders above any other corner.
Speaker 1: You keep them on the field, But now all of
Speaker 1: a sudden you need a slot corner. Could that slot
Speaker 1: corner potentially be a Buddha Baker? Yes? Could it be
Speaker 1: a jail And Thompson we've seen that at times, would
Speaker 1: to be an Isaiah Simmons. If the matchup is right,
Speaker 1: it could be. So maybe they keep him on the field,
Speaker 1: but he's not necessary an inside linebacker. He's not even
Speaker 1: on the edge like we saw him at times last year.
Speaker 1: But he's that fifth dB, which they don't necessarily have
Speaker 1: right now, especially after the tragic death of Jeff Cladening. Yes, no, absolutely, Polly,
Speaker 1: who knows what vance Joseph is going to do? I
Speaker 1: just during rundown situations, This is me, Paul. I really
Speaker 1: think Isaiah Simmons once again, Isaiah Simmons and Zavan Collins,
Speaker 1: those two young inside linebackers right there. I want to
Speaker 1: see him get the majority of reps inside the box
Speaker 1: as the weekside inside linebacker. This is just me pure
Speaker 1: speculation on this, but if in fact the other team
Speaker 1: has a power personnel group meaning twelve personnel, one back,
Speaker 1: two tight ends, or twenty one personnel, polly, meaning two backs,
Speaker 1: one tight end right or thirteen one back, three tight
Speaker 1: ends if they have a power personnel group in during
Speaker 1: rundown situations. Man, I really hope to see Isaiah Simmons
Speaker 1: lining up is that weekside inside linebacker, But once again,
Speaker 1: he's so wildly talented, they are going to move him around.
Speaker 1: But I also hope, Pauli, that we're going to see
Speaker 1: more nine on seven drills this year in training camp.
Speaker 1: More nine on seven, Pauli, the inside running game drills
Speaker 1: like that, because I think Isaiah Simmons and Zaven Collins
Speaker 1: really need that kind of work. I hope that happens.
Speaker 1: I mean, look at your own division. You think the
Speaker 1: last place Seahawks will reverse engineer this right? You think
Speaker 1: the last place Seahawks are going to try and run
Speaker 1: the ball this year? Say, yes, it's gonna be their
Speaker 1: only option with Gino Smith and Drew Locke, and they
Speaker 1: loaded up in the offseason on running backs and offensive lineman.
Speaker 1: We know what the forty nine ers do with Kyle Shanahan.
Speaker 1: They make you stop the run first, and if you don't,
Speaker 1: he'll run it fifty times. Yeah, and then what did
Speaker 1: the Rams do last year? What did they do after
Speaker 1: the Cardinals jack stopped him? They realize, you know what,
Speaker 1: this ten personnel isn't working without Robert Woods. We better
Speaker 1: go back to that offense we ran with Todd Gurley
Speaker 1: and it was a much more balanced offense. And now
Speaker 1: with a healthy Cam Akers, the word out of the
Speaker 1: Rams camp is they are going to ram it this
Speaker 1: year more with the run game. So for a defense
Speaker 1: that allowed one hundred and fifty yards rushing or more
Speaker 1: five times last year, yeah, you're darn toot that those
Speaker 1: two guys better be up to stop in the run.
Speaker 1: And Polly, why didn't you say Jared Goff? Why didn't
Speaker 1: you say that? Because that's what they did. They took
Speaker 1: it back to Jared Goff. Yeah, Todd Gurley was there, Polly,
Speaker 1: but they brought it all the way back with Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 1: And that's the thing that got him into the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, was putting Matthew Stafford back into the
Speaker 1: Jared Goff. Here comes a tackle zone and the play
Speaker 1: action that comes off of it. Haroed Comps, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Enough about the stinking Rams. I want
Speaker 1: your opinion to come full circle here. What is the
Speaker 1: bigger question mark for this Cardinals defense pass rush, meaning
Speaker 1: can you get to the quarterback minus Chandler Jones or
Speaker 1: is it those two young inside linebacker Polly? For me,
Speaker 1: right now, it's still the two inside linebackers, These young
Speaker 1: guys that have wild talent that could impact the other
Speaker 1: team's ability to run the ball and impact their ability
Speaker 1: to throw the ball with those long frames and long arms.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Paul, they could be a force or not.
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm looking at in training camp and
Speaker 1: the first time, the first time the first team d
Speaker 1: comes out there, you don't think everyone's looking to see. Okay, yes,
Speaker 1: where exactly is Avne and Isaiah sis Hey? Cardinals season
Speaker 1: tickets available now at easy Cardinals dot com, slash season
Speaker 1: four info more the big red rage right after this
Speaker 1: flashhead of downs on the ou twenty five yard line.
Speaker 1: Mr Action going due before how you touch down centers
Speaker 1: seventy five yards? I'm a bassist guy, I'm the fail
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray Hollywood Brown. They have been there and done that.
Speaker 1: That was twenty eighteen Kyler's Heisman campaign Oklahoma at Iowa
Speaker 1: State back. The voice of the Cardinals day pass has
Speaker 1: been there and done that. There he was calling it
Speaker 1: on the TV side. I remember right after the trade,
Speaker 1: and it happened on Draft night, Welcome Back into the
Speaker 1: Big Red Race, presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert Ron
Speaker 1: Wolfley there, Paul Calvc here, and there we were on
Speaker 1: stage with Hollywood Brown after the trade. About a half
Speaker 1: hour after it was announced, Michael Bidwell flew him down
Speaker 1: in front of the Cardinals Draft party. Right that epic scene,
Speaker 1: I got a lot of attention, and I vividly remember
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown saying, you know what, Kyler Murray, I know
Speaker 1: how he thinks, he knows how I think these two guys,
Speaker 1: they're literally best friends and wolf how far where do
Speaker 1: you think that goes? That sort of chemistry when it
Speaker 1: comes to production for the Cardinals offense? Yeah, No, I
Speaker 1: think it goes a long way, Paul, I really do. Now,
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to prove that, and that's something that's
Speaker 1: I'm sure they have no problem doing going out there
Speaker 1: improving it. But yeah, I think that chemistry is always
Speaker 1: going to be there, and I think we'll see it
Speaker 1: probably earlier as opposed to later in the season, So
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about that. At all. I'm just really
Speaker 1: really excited about the dynamic Polly. You know that I
Speaker 1: was talking about this long before Hollywood Brown ever was acquired.
Speaker 1: I was so fired up about Rondel Moore. Why was
Speaker 1: I fired up about Rondel Moore, Polly, Because I thought
Speaker 1: he was going to get more vertical, Right, This was
Speaker 1: a guy that could take the top off for the Cardinals,
Speaker 1: and that's something they really really need. And that wide
Speaker 1: receiver room, the ability of a guy to run down
Speaker 1: the middle of the field and scare the dog out
Speaker 1: of the safety, scare the dog out of the defensive coordinators,
Speaker 1: and then provide an awful lot of room for the
Speaker 1: guys underneath running their intermediate routes. And now all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, the Arizona Cardinals have that guy in the
Speaker 1: form of Hollywood brown Man, not only what he does
Speaker 1: with the ball in his hands, but what he does
Speaker 1: without the ball. And this is what I'm fascinated to see, Paulie,
Speaker 1: because I think it's gonna have a dynamic impact on
Speaker 1: this offense going forward. Yeah, Cardinals receiver's coach Seawn Jefferson
Speaker 1: right after the Super Bowl, remember he confirmed you know
Speaker 1: your wants and needs and desires that yes, indeed, Rondel
Speaker 1: Moore will be to downfield a lot more this year.
Speaker 1: And what I'm also intrigued about when it comes to
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown is when he told us on the Big
Speaker 1: Red Rage that you know what, I haven't been able
Speaker 1: to even showcase what I can do in the NFL yet,
Speaker 1: he said, I've been a team guy, meaning that Raven's
Speaker 1: offense run by Greg Roman with the multiple tight ends
Speaker 1: in the power run game, so he was always the
Speaker 1: third option at best. Well now, especially without d Hop,
Speaker 1: he could be the very first options. So you gotta
Speaker 1: figure he's going to get a lot of targets. He'll
Speaker 1: get a lot of chances downfield. He told us how
Speaker 1: he according to the analytics and the metrics, he's received
Speaker 1: more cushion than any other receiver in the league. So
Speaker 1: we'll see what sort of respect he gets in that regard.
Speaker 1: And then boom, all of a sudden, you get that
Speaker 1: sort of tandem with Kyler and Hollywood Brown, and then
Speaker 1: you realize, Okay, what does that mean for the Cardinals offense?
Speaker 1: Something Justin Pugh talked about in the Day Pash podcast,
Speaker 1: just Kyler and how guys want to play with him,
Speaker 1: and where the Cardinals are now versus where they were.
Speaker 1: Kyler is in his third year in the NFL, and
Speaker 1: when I was in New York, Eli Manning was not
Speaker 1: a vocal leader. He was the first one in, he
Speaker 1: was the last one out. He did everything right. Kyler
Speaker 1: comes in, he does everything we asked him to do.
Speaker 1: I was here four years ago and we didn't have
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. I remember that team, and I've seen a
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks come through the store justin in twenty
Speaker 1: one years, we had the worst offense and I think
Speaker 1: NFL history. So when Kyler got here, a light went
Speaker 1: back on. Irrelevance came back on. We started playing primetime
Speaker 1: games again. We've been in the playoffs, We've been relevant.
Speaker 1: Our families has something to look forward to every year.
Speaker 1: There's something to be said about that. Yeah, it's only
Speaker 1: gallows humor now. Because you have Kyler Murray and you
Speaker 1: have a top ten offense. It's so nice to be
Speaker 1: able to kind of chuckle that. Alright, Yes, because twenty eighteen,
Speaker 1: when Sam Bradford his face down on the turf and
Speaker 1: then here comes Josh Rosen, it definitely was not amusing.
Speaker 1: Didn't route to a three and thirteen just yet another
Speaker 1: reason why he was handsomely rewarded today. Well, yes, absolutely, Polly,
Speaker 1: but also too, I just want to take this time
Speaker 1: because we really haven't mentioned Rodney Hudson and the ability
Speaker 1: to run Rodney Hudson out there on this offense as
Speaker 1: the center once again is absolutely huge. This is huge.
Speaker 1: That was just as big to me, it really was.
Speaker 1: You know what, the Kyler Murray signing is huge, obviously,
Speaker 1: and it's bigger because he's a franchise quarterback, but eliminating
Speaker 1: the distraction was a big deal for this team going forward. Well,
Speaker 1: you know what, signing Rodney Hudson was also a huge
Speaker 1: deal for this team going forward because Polly, once again
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, you know Bill Belichick, right, Polly, you know
Speaker 1: what he's done. He's done something a little bit right
Speaker 1: there was very fond of saying, the team that controls
Speaker 1: the middle of the field more times than not, controls
Speaker 1: the game. And you know what, Polly, it all starts
Speaker 1: with a center snapping the ball. It all starts with
Speaker 1: a guy like Rodney Hudson getting a lot of guys
Speaker 1: lined up, and you give me an offensive line. Your
Speaker 1: offensive line doesn't have to be the best in the league.
Speaker 1: It just has to be good enough to allow your
Speaker 1: talent to do what they do, good enough to allow
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray to do what he does. Good enough to
Speaker 1: allow Kyler Murray to be able to throw the ball
Speaker 1: down the field to d Hop and Marquis Brown and
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz, and to be able to hand the ball
Speaker 1: off to James Connor. It's got to be good enough
Speaker 1: to allow your skill to do what they do, Polly,
Speaker 1: because we can name all those skill players. But if
Speaker 1: your O line is a liability, you will take the
Speaker 1: l Yep. We've been there and done that. Plenty of
Speaker 1: talented offenses have had a bad offensive line and they
Speaker 1: don't go anywhere. In fact, I'll go back to the
Speaker 1: playoff game. There's a reason one of the first acquisitions
Speaker 1: the Cardinals may in the off season was a right
Speaker 1: guard because right guard was a liability. Yeah, especially against
Speaker 1: number ninety nine Aaron Donald. And I vividly remember Aaron
Speaker 1: Donald after that game telling the media quote their quarterback
Speaker 1: didn't look comfortable end quote. Ya. That's all it takes.
Speaker 1: That's all it takes for Kyler Murray to play the
Speaker 1: worst game of his NFL career is just him being
Speaker 1: uncomfortable behind an offensive line, especially when there's a real
Speaker 1: liability at a certain position. Yes, Polly, I mean honestly,
Speaker 1: once again, it's all of this is coming together right now. Now.
Speaker 1: They got to go do it. They got to prove it.
Speaker 1: I'm not making any predictions. You know how I feel
Speaker 1: about predictions, Polly. But man, they've got the pieces to
Speaker 1: be one of the best offenses in the National Football
Speaker 1: League bar none. In fact, I had to shut down
Speaker 1: cam Cox from Channel twelve earlier today. He wanted to
Speaker 1: stink in prediction. Absolutely not, no predictions whatsoever. Besides, besides,
Speaker 1: I have no idea. Did I think the Cardinals were
Speaker 1: going to start seven and oh last year or ten
Speaker 1: and two? No I did not. And did I think
Speaker 1: they would finish by losing five of the last six,
Speaker 1: including the playoff game. No, I most definitely did not
Speaker 1: think that's the way the Caesar's gonna end. So who
Speaker 1: knows exactly what's coming our way? Yep? All I know
Speaker 1: is it is an unbelievable schedule. It's the number one
Speaker 1: or number two toughest schedule in the NFL. It is
Speaker 1: loaded with marquee opponents and Single game tickets are available
