33
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: today's record because the Cardinals practice in it was a

34
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: record one oh nine. So I know the schedule says

35
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: home game for the forty nine ers, but are we

36
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: sure about that? You sure it's not a home game

37
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: for the Arizona Cardinals. That is a great question to

Speaker 2: You can just sort of adjust it. You can sort

49
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 2: of yeah, you can sort of bend it out a

50
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,200

51

52
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: done that in rehearsal.

53
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: Wolf, that's all. Come on, I was too busy eating ball.

Speaker 5: Elija?

60
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: I just want to ask this right now, right off

61
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: the top, because you were a wide receiver at one

62
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: point in time. What's your weight at right now?

63
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 6: So I weigh two hundred and fifty right now, two

64
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty pounds right now?

65
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: What kind of difference is that from when you were

66
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: a white receiver?

67
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 5: It's about fifteen pounds about that was it? So you

68
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 5: were a big one. Yeah that was a big receiver.

69
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 5: But you were a big I never thought I was

00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 5: going to be two fifty.

71
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're got pounds right now, A lot of

72
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,880

73
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 6: Eating, a lot of weight room. I think a lot

74
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 6: of it too, is just how my body mature.

75
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: What's your favorite thing to do in the weight room?

76
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 6: You don't I love the weight room? You I love

77
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 6: the weight Okay, I would say everybody just kind of

78
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 6: pumping out.

79
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: The upper body. Okay, great, doing some arms, you know,

80
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: curls for the girls. So what you're saying, do.

81
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: You ever go over there and try and compete with like,

82
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,040

83
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: Paris and those guys you know, yelled at because those

84
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: guys are always like competing on there, you know, over there,

85
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: you know.

86
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, My my favorite guy to work out with in

87
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 6: the weight room is actually James Connor. He's a He's

88
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 6: a dude that really pushes it. So it's cool to

89
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 6: try to keep up with them.

90
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm out to surprise as that James Connor is in

91
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: there throwing it around.

92
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: We've had James on this show a couple of times

93
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: and he's talked about his off season workouts with Aaron Donald.

94
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: I'm guessing those are legit when you're working out with

95
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: Aaron Donald in the off season, So yeah, I'm guess

96
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: seeing he has he has some aptitude in the weight room.

97
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: I'd be my guest on that one, no doubt. All right,

98
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: So tell us about this week, tell us about this

99
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: week of practice, tell us about how the team is

100
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 2: rebounded so far coming off the loss against Washington, uh,

101
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: and just what do you what do you? How would

102
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 2: you assess the mood and the vibe here the last

103
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 2: few days.

104
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 5: We're excited.

105
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 6: I think we're excited to uh just play another game,

106
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 6: obviously another opportunity to get a w on the board

107
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 6: for ourselves. But I think more excited just to get

108
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,799
Speaker 6: a bounce back win more than anything. I think after

109
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 6: you know, Sunday Monday, you watch the film, correct things

110
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 6: you need to correct, and then by the time you're

111
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 6: practicing Wednesday, everything's behind us. So I think that's what

112
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 6: the most excited about, is the opportunity that all waits

113
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 6: us on Sunday.

114
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 5: You know, just being in the locker room.

115
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: When I was a young man ten years in the NFL,

116
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: of course, and I saw for some really bad losses

117
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: as well. I just want you to know that I'll

118
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: tell you in the break. We have no time to

119
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: go over it right now. But just the way we

120
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: used to process some of the losses that we had

121
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: right there. It was about accountability for the most part,

122
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: being able to look at each other in the eye

123
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: and be very accountable. Was that going on inside this

124
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: locker room this week?

125
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 5: For sure?

126
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 6: I Mean, I think that's what all good teams do,

127
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 6: and I think that's what we have in our locker

128
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 6: room because have a good team. And that's what it

129
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 6: takes is for everybody to lock themselves in the mirror

130
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 6: and fix the things that they need to fix and

131
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,119
Speaker 6: move on to the next game.

132
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: You had a chance after the game to talk with

133
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 2: Garrett Williams. He had to pick obviously big play and

134
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: a really excellent interview afterwards, just the way he sum

135
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 2: things up, And here's a Garrett Williams, second year player,

136
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: had to say about how the Cardinals should go about

137
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: correcting things.

138
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 7: Don't point fingers, be honest with yourself about what you're

139
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 7: doing well, and more partly, when you're losing, you know

140
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 7: what you're not doing well and fix it. And I

141
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 7: feel like if each individual on the team looks at

142
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 7: themselves and go, Okay, I'm not doing this well, how

143
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 7: am I going to take the steps to get better

144
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 7: at that. Think if we all do that and then

145
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 7: we come together collectively and be like, all right, what

146
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 7: are we lacking as a team. I think that's where

147
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 7: change starts to happen. And then, you know, I think

148
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 7: that's where we just show the type of team that

149
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 7: we are.

150
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 2: You know, I heard jg use the word details repeadly.

151
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 2: When you guys watch that film, how correctible we're things

152
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: that he identified very correctable.

153
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 6: I think we have the guys in the room that

154
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 6: can get the job done. And obviously that starts from

155
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 6: the execution standpoint, being able to make plays and whatnot,

156
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 6: but it starts at the details. Like I said, we

157
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 6: have the guys that can make the plays. It's just

158
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 6: about being in the correct alignment at the right time,

159
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 6: snap counts and all this sort of stuff. So I

160
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 6: think we got the guys that can that can do

161
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 6: it for sure. It's just about fixing those those small

162
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 6: details and moving forward.

163
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 2: You know, the Niners just snapped a two game skid.

164
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 2: They lost in Minnesota, lost at the Rams, and Fred

165
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: Warner talked about practice last week going in a New

166
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 2: England game, just saying, you know, guys had a little

167
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 2: extra edge you know, a little chippier. You know we

168
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 2: had lost a couple in a round. I mean, did

169
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: you sense that at all this week?

170
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I definitely feel it. I feel it,

171
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 6: and everybody definitely feel myself for sure. Just taking accountability

172
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 6: for the small things that you you mess up in

173
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 6: the game, and making the distinctions between doing the right

174
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 6: thing and doing the wrong thing, and just putting your

175
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 6: best foot forward and earning that confidence back in practice

176
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 6: and just working hard.

177
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: So you know, for me Polly too, it's just a

178
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: situation where every player's got to go in there and

179
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: watch the tape. As Elijah is saying right now, you

180
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: got to be truthful in what it is that you're seeing.

181
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: You got to be one hundred percent honest. If you

182
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: truly want to get better, you have to take critique.

183
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: There is the opportunity in a loss to get better

184
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: much better by watching the tape than there is when

185
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: you win. In my opinion, when you lose, oh, you

186
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: feel the same present. Okay. For me, it just was

187
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: a situation. When you lose, man, everyone is on edge

188
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: to begin with. They're going to be a lot more

189
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: critical if you actually absorb it and take it to heart,

190
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: you can actually get better by watching it and telling

191
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: the truth about yourself. Always be honest one hundred percent

192
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: of the time. And there are some guys, boy, and

193
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: you know this, Elijah, there's some guys out on the field.

194
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: They'll recount something that happened on the field that did

195
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: not happen on the field, but the tape doesn't lie ePRO.

196
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: How about the opening drive in these games? What is clicking?

197
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 2: What is going well? Four straight games, four straight opening

198
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 2: drive touchdowns. Is there anything you can take from the

199
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: beginning of those games and trying to extrapolate going forward.

200
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 6: I think obviously just the execution of what we're getting

201
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 6: what we're calling aligneman assignment key techniques with JJ preaches,

202
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 6: and when you're able to, you know, start a drive

203
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 6: like that early in the game, that's what it's about.

204
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 6: It's about doing the right thing, obviously over and over

205
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 6: because you have a numerous amount of players in that drive,

206
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 6: but doing the right thing and in and out, and

207
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 6: that's what happens when you.

208
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 5: Put a good drive together.

209
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 2: You had a couple of catches against Washington. I saw

210
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 2: we have an eleven game catch streak. Now, just tell

211
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: us how you think your own game has come along,

212
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: especially in the last maybe like full season you start

213
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 2: playing midway through last year, where do you think maybe

214
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 2: you've grown the most.

215
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 6: Think it's just embracing my role to be honest, understanding

216
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 6: ends and out to the tight end game and what

217
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 6: it means to be a tight end, and just kind

218
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 6: of sticking my nose in there and just being being

219
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 6: a physical guy and just doing what the team needs

220
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 6: for me. I think it's been the biggest part for

221
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 6: me in understanding that. Obviously, putting a receiver in college,

222
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 6: making that transition, it wasn't easy. I remember about a

223
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 6: year ago, I didn't know how to get in a

224
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 6: three point stance for the longest time.

225
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 2: Wow.

226
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 5: And now to see.

227
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 6: A year later the position I'm in now, the role

228
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 6: I have on this team, it's been cool. It's been special,

229
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 6: And I think it's a kudos to the guys that

230
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 6: we have in the locker room being a teacher or

231
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 6: helping me learn and being teachers and whatnot, and then

232
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 6: obviously the coaches and all that stuff and the opportunity

233
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 6: that they've provided for me.

234
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 5: So it's been a cool deal to well, I want.

235
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: To tell you this, just watching you play watching you

236
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: on tape, I never knew you had the ability to

237
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: be as physical as you are, and that really that

238
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: was something I did not know.

239
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 5: Where does where does that come from?

240
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: For you? Personally? Personally enjoy that part. We're going to

241
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: tell you that.

242
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 6: So personally, I think it's a god to give an ability.

243
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 6: And then on top of it, I think it's just understanding

244
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 6: what's going on. I think we have good coaches, great

245
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 6: coaches to really teach us what to know or what

246
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 6: to know, and you know, understanding what to do, and

247
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 6: that's the big in the biggest thing for me in

248
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 6: terms of being physical is if you can understand what's

249
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 6: going on, what your job is, you can play fast

250
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 6: and then when you're playing fast and hitting somebody, it's

251
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 6: a lot of fun.

252
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 5: So you just kind of continue to do that and

253
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 5: you enjoy it.

254
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 2: So how cool has it been to have a Trey

255
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 2: McBride back on the practice field this week?

256
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 6: It's been great, It's been great. I'm excited for him

257
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 6: to get back and rolling.

258
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 2: Is there any bigger kid than Trey McBride. Just the

259
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 2: way he bounces around, I swear he must have the

260
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 2: same personality when he was like thirteen and Pop Warner.

261
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would have loved to know him then. Yeah,

262
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 5: he's a special dude.

263
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 2: His energy is justial and he was losing his mind

264
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: in the Washington game. You could tell you he was like,

265
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: oh man, I need to get out there.

266
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 5: Yeah.

267
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 2: So he's ready to be back. Yeah, that's great. We'll

268
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 2: get into a lot of that. We'll get into where

269
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 2: you've grown the most. We'll get into your Texas football background.

270
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: How many different guys in the locker room come from

271
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 2: Texas and have made the NFL. We'll talk about Friday

Speaker 4: A gain of twenty yards pass over the middle behind Higgins,

284
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,160

299
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 2: guest here in the Big Red Rage presented by Santan

300
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 2: Forard in Gilbert Well. That last touchdown catch is gonna

301
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 2: live forever because that was known as the steph Curry.

302
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray the look away at.

303
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 5: The very end.

304
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: Has he ever done that in practice before?

305
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 5: Not sure?

306
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 6: Maybe man I didn't realize it didn't in the game

307
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 6: until like I saw it on ESPN or whatever.

308
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: So it was after the game when you realize it. Yeah,

309
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 2: it's interesting, all right. So I mean because I mean

310
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 2: that is epic, right, I mean, now the way to

311
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 2: flex that, right, he knew it. And at that point,

312
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 2: I mean, how certain were you you were going to

313
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 2: catch that? Because that's a sliding grab. What was a

314
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 2: degree of difficulty on your end?

315
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 5: Honestly, have no idea.

316
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 6: When you're in the game like that, you're not thinking

317
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 6: much and it just kind of happens, and you celebrate

318
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 6: with the guys and you go back on the film

319
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 6: and watch watch what happened.

320
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 5: You're like, oh, I did that, So it was cool.

321
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 6: Obviously I didn't get to see what Kyle was doing

322
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 6: back there when you're running the route. So when I

323
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 6: got to see the review, the review review on that,

324
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 6: it was pretty special.

325
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: So Higgy, can I call you Higgy? Is that okay?

326
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: I you know, I mean, you're fine with that right there?

327
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: I know the Higgy bear and we're going to get

328
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 1: into that momentarily. But it's okay if I call you Higgy, right,

329
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's fine right there. I would imagine your

330
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: hands have always been good, correct, I mean, that's the

331
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: strength of your game. Right now, did you like playing

332
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver better than you like playing tight end?

333
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 5: No? No, I thought I was going to.

334
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: Okay, So for the transition, tell us why.

335
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 6: I just think you're just you're way more involved in

336
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 6: the game as a tied end. As a receiver. You're

337
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 6: not as as involved. You like as much responsibility the

338
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 6: blocking game as playing it, right.

339
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 5: You like being in the box where the fur flies. Yeah,

340
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 5: I enjoy it.

341
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 6: A look at you, like a lot of people. Look

342
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 6: on your face right now, man, especially when you get

343
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 6: it figured out. When you when you don't know what's

344
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 6: going on, it's not that's that's right. Do you get

345
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 6: it figured out a little bit, It's it's a lot

346
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 6: of fun.

347
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 5: Oh. I like that.

348
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: I could see it on your face, man. And you

349
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: know what, I can see it in the way that

350
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: you play as well, in between the white lines, the

351
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: physicality we're talking about.

352
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 5: Once it's growing. Hey, I appreciate.

353
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm actually half amazed. I really am,

354
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 2: because I mean, how many receivers, let's just say, end

355
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 2: up in the coach's doghouse because they're not blocking, right,

356
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 2: the old adage no lock, no rock, and usually if

357
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 2: you're a receiver, you know, past or president, it's not

358
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 2: necessarily you know something you want to do by choice.

359
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 2: So you're telling me that you're standing there and you're

360
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 2: in the three point and you're up against six foot

361
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: seven eight in Hutchinson, and you're enjoying that at that moment,

362
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 2: because a lot of reformer receivers would dread that.

363
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's it's a good time you enjoy

364
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 6: I enjoyed just the physicality. It's it's, uh, you get

365
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 6: to compete every play. I feel like you don't really

366
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 6: get that.

367
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 5: At receiver.

368
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 6: You're not always running outes versus another man in coverage,

369
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 6: you're not always blocking somebody. Obviously, in the league is

370
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 6: a little bit different. Receivers are a lot more involved

371
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 6: in the run game. But at the college level it's not.

372
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 6: You're not competing as much every play and play out.

373
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: So Higgy, tell me where you from? Where do you

374
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: say that you are from? And I say that because

375
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: a lot of guys differently, we might move all over

376
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: the country, you know, and actually have a lot of

377
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: different homes. Where do you identify with? Where was where

378
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: were you born and raised?

379
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 6: I was born in Florida, my dad's in the military,

380
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 6: so he moved to Texas. Boy going into middle school.

381
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 6: So I like to say I'm from Florida and Texas

382
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 6: because it was kind of split in half of all

383
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 6: kay good, yeah.

384
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's all You're Florida and Florida, Texas all town.

385
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: Did you grow up in Texas? So I grew up

386
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: in Austin. Okay, Texas.

387
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: Oh that was bare Yeah, okay, it was Bowie High School.

388
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: There were you guys any good?

389
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 5: We were pretty good.

390
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: Do you remember Kyler Murray? I do remember as a

391
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 2: high school legend in Texas, because every guy that's going

392
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 2: through Texas remembers Kylie. Did you used to watch his

393
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 2: highlight reels?

394
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 5: I don't know if I did or not.

395
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 6: I probably have seen him before, but I didn't really understand,

396
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 6: like recognize that it was him or not when I

397
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 6: was younger.

398
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 5: But I'm sure I saw them at some point.

399
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: Okay, Friday night lights, I mean in Texas as big

400
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: as everyone says it is.

401
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a big deal.

402
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 6: It is a big deal when you when you see

403
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 6: other high school football teams in other places, it's not nowhere.

404
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: Did you play any other sports in high school track

405
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: in basketball? Do you ran track?

406
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 5: Ran track?

407
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 6: Okay? Discus? Or I did shot put, trouble jump a

408
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 6: lot of jump Yeah, okay, did a lot of different stuff.

409
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 2: Here's here's a question. What was better Friday Night Lights?

410
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 2: The movie or the TV series? Didn't see either? You

411
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 2: lived it, though guys like me are watching it. You

412
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 2: lived it. You know what, I'm gonna have to watch it.

413
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 2: I'm gonna save myself. I'm gonna bring in Drew Patsy

414
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 2: and Jonathan Gannon talking about this is from late last

415
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 2: year when you started to blossom right as a rookie.

416
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 2: Here's what they had to say about Elijah Higgins. It's

417
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 2: a big transition.

418
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: I think he's done a really nice job of leaning

419
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: on the guys in that room. Ben Steel's done a

420
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: great job kind of preparing him and teaching the technique

421
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: and helping him make that transition.

422
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 8: And I think he's done a really nice job.

423
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 9: Higgy Bear has done a great job with asy Calm.

424
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: I don't know why.

425
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 5: I don't know why.

426
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 8: I think he's probably mad at me, but you know

427
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 8: we obviously you see we have confidence in him and

428
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 8: he can play.

429
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 2: Okay, let's get into it. Wolf you're gonna ask the question,

430
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 2: Am I gonna ask the question? Higgy Bear? The nickname, yeah,

431
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 2: presumably comes from the TV show from the seventies Starsky

432
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 2: and Hutch Huggy Bear Wolf. You know, Wolf kind of

433
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 2: looked like Huggy Bear when he went to his prom

434
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 2: Just google that up later, Elijah. Okay, I've seen the pictures.

435
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: Stop it. You know, he thought he was the man.

436
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 2: So your reaction to the head coach nickname? Was that

437
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 2: his nickname or did you come into the Cardinals with

438
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 2: that nickname? Higgy Bear?

439
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 5: That was his nickname.

440
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 6: At first, I didn't know where it was from, so

441
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 6: I was I was a little bit confused.

442
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 5: So yeah, it was he brought her up.

443
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 2: Okay, but you're all about it, You're good.

444
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 5: I like it from him. At first. It was cool.

445
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 6: As a rookie is cool, but I think going to

446
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 6: my second year, I prefer other things from j G.

447
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 6: I love it for him, but I prefer other things

448
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 6: from other people.

449
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: Okay, Now, listen, PAULI likes to sip soup.

450
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 5: And eat salad.

451
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: Okay, that's what he likes to do for the most part,

452
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: right here, but being from Texas part at least half

453
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: of the time in Texas. You must know Texas barbecue.

454
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: You know, barbecue pretty familiar. Do you like barbecue first

455
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: of all?

456
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 5: I do? Okay, Yeah, what's your favorite play brisket?

457
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 2: Oh?

458
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, see the brisket right there. What about sauce? What

Speaker 1: do you like for sauce?

460
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 5: I mean, I guess there's just barbecue sauce, right, Is

461
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 5: that wrong?

462
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 2: Well?

463
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: No, no, see, I mean this is interesting because some

464
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 1: you know a little spicy barbecue, like you know.

465
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 6: I sweet spicy, okay, sweat sweet baby raised. I don't

466
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,479
Speaker 6: know if that's necessarily Texas Barbie, okay, but I have

467
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 6: no idea.

468
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: Are they a sponsor on the show right now?

469
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 2: You never really get Wolf's full attention on the show

470
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 2: until we start talking food. Now, now, Wolve's completely and

471
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 2: that's that's how that works over there.

472
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 5: Okay.

473
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 2: So it's interesting. So how many different scholarship offers did

474
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 2: you have coming out of high school? Too many to

475
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 2: remember anywhere on forty Oh no, are you serious? So

476
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 2: how did you decide on Stamford?

477
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 5: That's tough.

478
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 6: I mean obviously, like the academic side of it was huge.

479
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 5: That was a big part of it.

480
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 6: Kind of made Stanford stand out, and then when I

481
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 6: went to visit the campus was beautiful. But I think

482
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 6: the biggest reason I went there was actually to get

483
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 6: away from football, get away from walking around the campus,

484
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 6: people bugging you, people praising you.

485
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 5: As an athlete.

486
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 6: I kind of wanted to be a regular student, be

487
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 6: a regular person, and just kind of camoufage my way

488
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 6: through through college, be treated as a regular person, not

489
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 6: really be put on a pedestal. Did any degree. So

490
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 6: I really enjoyed Stanford for that reason. It was a

491
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 6: cool place to go.

492
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: It's a great answer for that is blowing my mind,

493
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: a really good answer, honestly.

494
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 5: It really is. You know that that's rare, right.

495
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: You don't see a lot of guys walking around saying

496
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: that I went there because I just wanted to go

497
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: to school and be left alone. I didn't want people

498
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: praising me. You know what, there's a lot of there's

499
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: a lot of younger guys. I mean, you were talking

500
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: about how old were you seventeen eighteen?

501
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, probably about seventeen eighteen, seventeen eighteen years old.

502
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of seventeen or eighteen year olds

503
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 1: who would say that. Would you agree with that? Have

504
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: you always been different. Have you always been?

505
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 5: Yes, I guess. I mean, I don't know. I guess

506
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 5: this is pretty normal for me. I don't know how

507
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 5: different it is.

508
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: When you were in high school, what was your favorite

509
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: subject of study? What did you love?

510
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 6: I enjoyed math for the longest, and then once I

511
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 6: got accepted into Stanford and finished my math, I just

512
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 6: school was kind of done for me. I wanted to

513
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 6: take a break for my senior year, so I started

514
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 6: doing some easy stuff. But up until my junior year

515
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 6: was math. Okay, what is easy stuff? What would you

516
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 6: say is easy?

517
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 5: Don't know?

518
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: I mean I just go to cal Berkeley.

519
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 2: Wow, Okay, wait a minute. Who's who has ESPN College

520
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 2: Game Day coming to their campus system? This guy? Here

521
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 2: we go, Here we go. Yeah, they're playing Miami. They're

522
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 2: playing the Oh that's that's why they're going. Okay, we

523
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: played Oregon number three and they came, so I figured

524
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 2: that's the only reason they came to us, So they

525
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 2: a good Actually, as the story goes, they're coming for

526
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 2: the Calgarithm, which is all the social media that has

527
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 2: taken over. So you know, ESPN is trying to go

528
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 2: ahead and you know what their beak on all the

529
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 2: social media sensation that is cal football. We should have

530
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 2: blown the Pack twelve one hundred plus years ago, really

531
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 2: because we were stuck on the Pack twelve network. Now

532
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,959
Speaker 2: we're in primetime in ESPN. So there you go, all right,

533
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 2: So then you come into the NFL. So you got

534
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 2: drafted by Miami. Okay, so and then what was your

535
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 2: month or that half a year like with the Dolphins,

536
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 2: and because you have the Dolphins coming up here in

537
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 2: a few weeks.

538
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, my birthday, actually, I don't know. Being there was

539
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 6: it was tough. Obviously, that was the first taste of

540
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 6: playing tight end and I had no idea what I

541
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 6: was doing for the longest time, so it was tough.

542
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 5: It was difficult.

543
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 6: It was definitely a learning curve, challenge, uphill battle for me.

544
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 6: And then once I got here things sort of smoothed

545
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 6: out a little bit. But yeah, it was it was.

546
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 6: It was challenging.

547
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: Leijah. When did they tell you that they were going

548
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: to move you to tight end or was that where

549
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: they Senier Bowl?

550
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 6: Actually at the Senior Bowl and then at the combine

551
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 6: as well, the interviews and whatnot, it's kind of started

552
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 6: to get a feeling all the teams wanted me to

553
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 6: make that transition.

554
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: Okay, well you to make that transition and you were

555
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: okay with that?

556
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was fine with it. I was excited.

557
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: Yes, Miami very very physical scheme. Is they do Yes,

558
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: they do well.

559
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: Speaking of in the off season, we talked to your

560
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 2: position coach, Ben Steele, and he commented on you and

561
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 2: you're blocking and the evolution from the tight end position.

562
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 2: Here's Ben Steele.

563
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 10: The best part about him as a former receiver. He

564
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 10: doesn't have any bad habits as far as footwork and

565
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 10: inline blocking as a tight end, and so he takes

566
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,959
Speaker 10: on the coaching and does exactly what I tell him

567
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 10: to do, and it's it's awesome because he really works

568
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 10: at it and he's willing and able to stick his

569
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 10: nose in there.

570
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: True.

571
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 2: I mean you came in and you were like a

572
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 2: I know you know mold you like Clay from the

573
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 2: very beginning.

574
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 5: I mean, I had no idea.

575
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 6: You could tell me to do the complete wrong thing

576
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 6: and I'd probably do it because I had no idea

577
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 6: at all. Like I said earlier, I didn't know how

578
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 6: to get at three points stance. For the longest time,

579
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 6: I didn't know the difference between a nine tech and

580
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 6: a six technique and I didn't I mean, I didn't

581
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 6: know anything.

582
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 2: So how about when you got to some of the

583
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 2: blocking drolls one on one against outside linebackers where there's

584
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 2: some rough moments in the big Yeah.

585
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 5: For sure. Yeah it was rough for a very long time.

586
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:13,959
Speaker 6: I think it was rough up until I figured out

587
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 6: that it was all about technique and not about you know,

588
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 6: just trying to hit them because usually that doesn't work well.

589
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 6: Usually oftentimes the guys are twenty pounds bigger than you.

590
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 6: So that's when I this off season really try to

591
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 6: hone in on the technique of things and understand it

592
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 6: a little bit better.

593
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 1: So where you are right now in your revolution, what

594
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: do you think you need to do to get better?

595
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 6: Continue to be critical with myself for one, great answer,

596
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 6: I think for two is just continue to learn the game,

597
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 6: because I think there's a lot of things that technique

598
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 6: can fix, but also understand the game can fix as well.

599
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 5: I don't know. I think I think I'm going in

600
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 5: the right direction.

601
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 6: I think it's just doing the things I continue to

602
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 6: do is being critical by myself and continue to learn

603
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 6: and ask questions and just play fast.

604
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 5: I think That's what it comes down to. You know

605
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 5: your job and just play fast.

606
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 6: So just continue to do those things and develop a

607
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 6: better understanding of the game. And in the position, the

608
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 6: fact you played multiple sports growing up, you know the fact,

609
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 6: I mean you come from an athletic family, right, your

610
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 6: brother went to Cols. Now it's Sack State, right, your

611
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 6: sister is beach volleyball player at Florida State.

612
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 2: If I'm seeing this correct, that your mom played hoops,

613
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,719
Speaker 2: I mean, how much does that help you and your

614
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 2: ability to transition to a new position.

615
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it definitely helps, just having that background

616
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 6: of doing a lot of different things. And then I

617
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 6: think just always being involved in sports is obviously come

618
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 6: to fruition now because that's all I do. But yeah,

619
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 6: every week, every weekend was baseball or basketball, football, And

620
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 6: if it wasn't my tournament, it was my brothers. If

621
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 6: it wasn't my brothers, it was my sister. So we

622
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 6: always had sports going on, and I mean we still

623
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:50,719
Speaker 6: do it now. They're all playing and my parents are

624
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 6: always traveling, so we're very grateful for that. But it's

625
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 6: always been sports and hopefully it's that for.

626
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: At what age always going to be about sports in regard. Yeah,

627
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: you know how much you loved playing.

628
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's just once it's a thing of

629
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 6: what you do and how you identify It's it's hard

630
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 6: to know anything else. So I don't know if I

631
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 6: made that distinction at any age. It was just kind

632
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 6: of normal. So that's just what we did and what

633
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 6: we continue to do.

634
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 2: Did you ever meet any famous alums at Stanford when

635
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 2: you're there, like you know Elon Moss or Yeah.

636
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 6: No, there's yeah, Connor Leeza Rice was there often. We

637
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 6: saw her like at least once a week, to be honest,

638
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 6: coming from the she would go lift at like five

639
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 6: am in our weight room. Uh C Mac would come

640
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 6: by a few times. Andrew Luck actually took classes with

641
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 6: my girlfriend. He's a really nice dude, down to earth.

642
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 6: I think he's still going to school there.

643
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 2: That makes sense, That makes total sense.

644
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 5: Yeah.

645
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 6: One of the things that's cool is I'm sure Andrew

646
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 6: Luck could ride around with this helmet on and nobody

647
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 6: would know who he is at the stay for campus.

648
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 6: That's pretty special. I'm pretty sure he's another guy that

649
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 6: that enjoys that. That that's very cool.

650
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 5: Cool.

651
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: I love the stories when Tiger Woods went there. He

652
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 2: used to putt on the basketball court because it would

653
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 2: replicate the fast greens at Augusta. That was always good stuff. Hey,

654
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 2: we continue Elijah Higgins here on the Big Red Rage

655
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,560

00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 4: Free wide receiver set on fourth down and one at

657
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,000

658
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 8: He's in shotgun here.

659
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 4: Murray waiting now the shotgun snap, He's gonna throw a

660
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 4: faite left side of the end zone. Harrison pulls it

661
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 4: in a touchdown. Cardinals, there's the fad. It worked on

662
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 4: fourth down and it looked like they were stealing.

663
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: Oh, Kyler Murray just dropped the little spam in a can.

664
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Junior ran the corner fade and Kyler Murray

665
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: put it out in front of him in Marvin Harrison

666
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: Junior snagged it and stabbed it.

667
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray, with his one hundredth career touchdown pass at

668

669
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 4: list for career passing touchdowns.

670
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 8: So congratulations to Kyler.

671
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's outstanding. In fact, there's a century mark for

672
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 2: Buddha Baker. We'll get to a little bit later, but

673
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 2: there was Marvin Harrison Junior as we are visiting with

674
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 2: Elijah Higgins Cardinals tight end here on the Big Red

675
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 2: Rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert At Trophy in

676
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 2: Chandler Price Road and Queen Creek. So tell us about

677
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: Marvin Harrison Junior and what you've seen from day one

678
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 2: to now. He actually is currently tied for the NFL

679
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 2: leading touchdown catches with four forgod rookies. He's tied with

680
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson four touchdown catches, and we know a lot

681
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 2: of that is come in the first quarter, right, So,

682
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 2: I mean he's had a I mean four rookie and

683
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 2: out of the gates, he has definitely been productive. What

684
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 2: have you seen from the fourth pickoverall?

685
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a special talent. He's an even better person.

686
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,959
Speaker 6: I think he's extremely humble, maybe to a fault. I mean,

687
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 6: the things that he can do on the football field

688
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 6: or are awesome to watch, and I think just the

689
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 6: type of person is off the field is even cooler.

690
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 6: I think we've all seen him kind of come into

691
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 6: himself obviously as a rookie, is always challenging those first

692
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 6: few games, just you know, finding your confidence and whatnot.

693
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 6: But I think it's always been there and it's always

694
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 6: it's going to continue to grow for him, and it's

695
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 6: it's been cool to see him do his thing, and

696
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 6: it's always cool to see him smile because he's more quiet. Dude,

697
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 6: I'm not in the receiver room, so we don't interact

698
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 6: as much as I wish we did. But it's cool to,

699
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 6: you know, see guys have success and be excited about

700
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 6: especially when they're good dudes.

701
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: So higgy when you watch the tape, is there a

702
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: comedy denominator as to what teams are trying to do

703
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: to Marvin Harrison Junior.

704
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean trying to double him more often than not.

705
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 6: I mean that's that's what happens when you have you know,

706
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 6: you're a good talent, and I mean it's good for

707
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 6: the rest of us ride. It opens up some opportunities

708
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 6: indors for the rest of the guys on the field.

709
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 6: But obviously, if that's what happens, that's what happens. If not,

710
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 6: then be single, then he'll do his thing.

711
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, well, and that's part of the addition A

712
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 2: wide receiver one, right, what it can do for your offense.

713
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 2: Now you know whether he's producing or he's get doubled,

714
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 2: and how it trickles down. And what if you would

715
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 2: have given him some advice on the night he got drafted,

716
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 2: since you had just gone through your rookie year, what

717
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 2: would you have told him? What was key, I know

718
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 2: making that transition to the league.

719
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 6: I would say, just be patient with the process, be diligent,

720
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,959
Speaker 6: be patient, work hard, just all the all the you know,

721
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 6: all the basic cliche things that people usually I'll say

722
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 6: to you, and but those are usually the most true things, right,

723
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 6: the cliche thing.

724
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 2: So, and he's made a point to your earlier point

725
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 2: that you know he came in, he realized a lot

726
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 2: of fanfare. He said, the heisman, you know, ceremony right

727
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 2: with Jayden Daniels, right, I mean he's a household name.

728
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 2: The moment he gets drafted and being number four, he

729
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 2: made a point just sort of okay, I'm gonna know

730
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 2: my role, my place as a rookie, and from what

731
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 2: I can tell in that locker room, that's earned him

732
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 2: some immediate respect. If he didn't have it already, he

733
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 2: certainly did. Just the way he carries himself.

734
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 5: Would you agree with that, Yeah, agreed completely.

735
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 6: Like I said before, I mean, he's a great, a

736
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 6: great human being, very humble, and I think that's one

737
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,959
Speaker 6: of the things that are most respected, you know, by

738
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 6: athletes in general, is just being a humble guy and

739
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 6: being down to earth and that sort of thing.

740
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 5: So it's cool to see.

741
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: So when you think of the opponent this weekend, the

742
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers, what is the first thing

743
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: that comes to mind for you? Personally?

744
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 6: Good weather, being in the Bay, good websited for the

745
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 6: nice weather. But it's gonna be hot.

746
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: It's going to be hot. Yeah right, I mean you

747
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: guys are going to be used to that. Do you

748
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: think that is going to be an advantage? I think

749
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: JG said it best.

750
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 6: It's going to be an advantage of the team that

751
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 6: uses it as an advantage who you know, whenever the

752
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 6: weather's rough, whatever team you know makes a point to

753
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 6: for being rough as usually team that doesn't do as well.

754
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 6: So just embracing it, I think is the biggest thing.

755
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 6: And I think we were more than capable of doing that.

756
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 2: Wait, come on, it was one o nine today. I

757
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 2: drove over here with my windows down. Okay, so my goodness,

758
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 2: you know, forty nine ers, you better get mentally talk. Okay,

759
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 2: here's Kyler Murray. I'm facing that forty nine ers defense.

760
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 9: It is year six for me, and they've been great

761
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 9: ever since I've been in the league. Got a lot

762
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 9: of great players. Obviously, Fred and Nick you know, two

763
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 9: of the guys that you know make it go, but

764
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 9: a lot of great players surrounding them.

765
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 5: For sure.

766
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 9: I'm excited for the opportunity. You know, it's always fun.

767
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 9: We gotta have a great week of practice and be

768
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 9: ready for them.

769
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 5: All right.

770
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 2: So two weeks ago you got ninety seven eight in Hutchinson.

771
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 2: This week you get ninety seven Nick Bosa, and we

772
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 2: know that can be a team effort, right, trying to

773
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 2: slow down one of the premier pass rushers in the league.

774
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 2: So tell us about that challenge.

775
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're excited and we're ready to embrace the challenge.

776
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 6: And I think we'vet we got a really good plan

777
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 6: for him, and then it just comes down to executing

778
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 6: that plan.

779
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: So tell me, Richards seeing from Fred Warner to the

780
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: line table, he's one of my favorite.

781
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's to watch. He is awesome to watch. He

782
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 6: flies around, he has a lot of fun playing the game.

783
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 6: You can see and that's something that as a young

784
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 6: player I'm still a little bit envious of because I

785
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 6: feel like I'm still learning how to play at that

786
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 6: speed and enjoy it that much. But it's cool to

787
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,479
Speaker 6: see a guy with hit like him, with experience and

788
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 6: just out there having fun making plays flying around. I mean,

789
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 6: he's he decided to see for sure.

790
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 2: When you play these Division games, and I get it,

791
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 2: you know, you're you're one year in, and but I mean,

792
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 2: to what degree do you go in kind of knowing

793
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 2: the challenge just because you played him twice last year?

794
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 2: Is that familiarity you know? Or do you expect them

795
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 2: to change things up for the sake of change because

796
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 2: you play him twice a year.

797
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 6: That's a tough question. I'm not sure. To be honest,

798
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 6: I'm not sure. One game at a time, then I'll

799
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 6: say that I'll say this answer. It's probably easier On offense.

800
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 6: Kyle Shananan has a track record.

801
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 2: I've always thrown in a few wrinkles every year, a

802
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 2: little something, especially early in the season that he innovated.

803
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 5: Right.

804
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's got a he's got a very creative offense,

805
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 6: and it's probably tougher on defense and his offense, you know,

806
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 6: with those changes and whatnot.

807
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: You know, it's so interesting when I look at the

808
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: metrics of the forty nine ers defense right here. A

809
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: lot of top ten stuff in major metrics like yards

810
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: per game allowed. Of course they have sacks per attempt

811
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: at number four first downs? How many first downs they

812
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: allowed their number four of course, number ten in points.

813
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: These are big metrics right here. All of a sudden,

814
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: I get to third down defense and they're number twenty

815
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 1: six in the National Football League. That doesn't seem to

816
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: make sense to me because they've got such a good

817
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: pass rush. What are you seeing I'm third down with

818
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers.

819
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 6: I mean, it's just taking advantage opportunities, to be honest,

820
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 6: and I'm not going to speak down to anybody or

821
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 6: about anybody, but I think, like I said, it's just

822
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 6: about those matchups and usually it's man.

823
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 5: Coverage and just winning those one on ones. And we

824
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 5: got the guys to do that.

825
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 6: And obviously they play teams that also had the guys

826
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 6: to do that or us it wouldn't happen. So I'm

827
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 6: excited for the opportunity for the guys that you know.

828
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 5: Make it happen.

829
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: I think third down is going to be a big,

830
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: a big area of concern for Hoss offensively and defensively. Right,

831
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: third down is going to be maybe a decider at

832
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: this game.

833
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they're down always, is right? Yeah?

834
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I mean think about it. The Cardinals on

835
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,879
Speaker 2: offense led the NFL after two weeks, and third down

836
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 2: conversion rate in the last two weeks not so much, right,

837
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 2: and then the deep pass was there in two of

838
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 2: the games, hasn't been there in two of the other games.

839
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 2: So these are some of the things that these games

840
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 2: always come down to, and whether the Cardinals can get

841
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 2: it clicking and get it rolling. You've seen it in

842
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 2: some games. You didn't see it last week. So we'll

843
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 2: see what happens on Sunday. We'll talk more about the

844
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 2: Niners than we come back and how Ted Lasso figures

845
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 2: in all to the recent pass of Elijah Higgins. First

Speaker 2: Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford in gilt.

850
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 6: Hi I'm Christophernandez and I'm Colo Bikini, and we're from

851
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 6: Ted Lasso, and we know I think or two about football. No,

852
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 6: this is American football, right, So we have no idea

853
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 6: what we're doing here, but we're having.

854
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 2: Lots of fun.

855
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 9: I moved the hundred and nine seventh pick in the

856
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 9: two pousand and twenty three NFL Draft.

857
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 5: In Miami Dolphins select Elijah Higgins tight end.

858
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 8: Stanford's football is line.

859
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 4: He's here, he's there, He's every freaking where.

860
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 5: Elijah Higgins, Elijah Higgins.

861
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 2: That is one of the most unique draft selections in

862
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 2: the history of the NFL draft. And we have that

863
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 2: guy alongside Elijah Higgins, Cardinals tight end here on the

864
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,919
Speaker 2: Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert Live

865
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 2: at Trophy and Chandler at Price Road in Queen Creek.

866
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 2: We'll get to that location here in a moment, but

867
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 2: first let's talk about Ted last. So, Elijah, did you

868
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,839
Speaker 2: ever think in a million years that somehow your draft

869
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,760
Speaker 2: pick would be tied into that TV show?

870
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 5: I had no idea what was going on when that happened.

871
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 6: To be honest, they they played on the screen, the

872
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 6: people were on the screen. They were in like a stadium,

873
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 6: and they had said something about Ted Lasso, and I

874
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 6: had no idea what was going I'm not gonna lie.

875
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 5: I didn't.

876
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 6: I never heard of Ted Lasso. I didn't know what

877
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 6: it was. I still don't know what.

878
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: Cal Berkeley they loved Todd last Okay, Stanford doesn't know

879
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 1: anything about Ted la By the way, it's cal Berkeley.

880
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: They they love cal. I just got love. I just

881
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: got it.

882
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 2: I just got a text from Lorenzo Alexander cal Alum

883
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 2: telling me, Hey, you're now rocking with Stanford Cats. You're

884
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 2: being way too nice, says so and so I got

885
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 2: to avoid him in the near future. Note to self

886
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 2: on that one. So have you since watched Ted Lasso?

887
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 6: No, I haven't known about I don't know the premise that.

888
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well I've been watching either.

889
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 2: So I've struck out him over three Friday night lights

890
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 2: of the movie, the TV show, now Ted Lasso, I'm

891
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 2: over for three. So it's let's talk about Buddha Baker. Okay,

892
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 2: And here's what he had to say. Kyler threw his

893
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 2: one hundredth career touchdown pass. Booter will make his one

894
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 2: hundredth career start on Sunday against the forty nine ers,

895
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 2: and here's what he had to say about that. In

896
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:10,760
Speaker 2: the Niners quarterback.

897
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 11: It doesn't feel like it, of course, you know, you

898
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 11: see one hundred plus tackles a season. Some people might

899
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 11: say it does feel like it. But you know, I'm

900
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,919
Speaker 11: blessed and I have the opportunity to, you know, take

901
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 11: care of my body and do all the appropriate things

902
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 11: to make sure that I'm one hundred percent each and

903
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 11: every week. So yeah, shout out rock parity. Hope you

904
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 11: throw it to me a couple of times.

905
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 2: It's pretty good. Buddha Baker there. And it's worth noting

906
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 2: that Brock Party was the twenty seventeen Arizona Cardinals High

907
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 2: School Player of the Year when he started at Gilbert

908
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 2: Perry High School, which our Jim ol Monro points out

909
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 2: is exactly eight miles east of here. It is exactly

910
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 2: down Queen Creek Road, eight miles east of Trophy here

911
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 2: and Chandler. And how often do you ever watch the

912
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 2: other team's offense?

913
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 5: Do you ever? You know?

914
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 2: And what do you Because brock Purty the final pick

915
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 2: of the draft three years ago, and he was the

916
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,919
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl starter a year ago. I mean, it's remarkable

917
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 2: what he's been able to do from when you've can

918
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 2: glean so far. What makes a really good quarterback in

919
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 2: the NFL? What are the two or three qualities you

920
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 2: must have? Is a guy who catches passes from quarterbacks.

921
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 6: Decision making, leadership, and then just the factor of getting

922
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 6: it done.

923
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta have the physical talent, you gotta have

924
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: the ability to do it, and you have to do that.

925
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: But man, the decision making, that's what I love. It's

926
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: it's inside the gray matter. You look at something, what

927
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: are your eyes telling you? Are your eyes lying to

928
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: you right? And you've got to make that decision like this,

929
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 1: whether it's pulling the ball down to run or whether

930
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: it's reading the coverage, whatever it may be. It is

931
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: incredible decision making. When I think of Brock Purty and

932
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: I think Paul of his greatest attribute, that's what it is.

933
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: He makes really really good decisions. And I don't care

934
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: what we're talking about. Everything he does is about making

935
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: a good decision. Doesn't have the arm talent that a

936
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks have out there, doesn't have the physical ability.

937
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: What he does have is a great brain in terms

938
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: of making decisions, and he makes the right one more

939
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 1: times than not.

940
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 2: Last week, he averaged over nineteen yards of completion. Think

941
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 2: about that. They ran the ball and they threw deep

942
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 2: shots and that's how they beat New England.

943
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me just ask Buddha Baker. Okay, your thoughts

944
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: on Buddha Baker as a football player and what it

945
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: is you see.

946
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 6: He loves the game. I think that's the biggest thing.

947
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 6: He flies around, he loves the game. He takes care

948
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 6: of himself off the field.

949
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 5: Yeah.

950
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 6: I just think he loves the game. I think that's

951
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 6: the biggest quality that makes me the player that he is.

952
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 1: You know, I watch him as a former player. Of course,

953
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: I watch him play and I immediately am challenged by

954
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker. Here, I am Elijah. I'm sixty one years old.

955
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? I'm sixty one years old, and

956
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: yet I watch Buddha Baker play the game, and I'm

957
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: challenged because of how he plays the game. I'm talking

958
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: about everything that he has and he doesn't play after

959
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: play after play. It's unbelievable to watch him on tape.

960
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: Do it? Is it a challenge to some of the

961
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: other guys inside that locker room. I know I've heard

962
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: coaches and Mike Tomlin is famous for doing this, but

963
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin will yell out to his players, do you

964
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:42,760
Speaker 1: see that guy?

965
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 5: Do you see the way this guy's playing? He's done

966
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 5: this before.

967
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 1: They actually have a mic on him saying that Buddha Baker,

968
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: that Buddha Baker is a football player.

969
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 5: Man.

970
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: He gets the attention of everybody on the field, whether

971
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: it's your guys or whether it's their guys watching him.

972
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: He challenges you as a man as to whether or

973
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: not you're going to play the game the way that

974
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: he's going to play the game. That's pretty incredible if

975
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: you ask me.

976
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, there are a few guys who play with that zeal, right.

977
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,479
Speaker 2: I mean we mentioned earlier Trey McBride like a big kid.

978
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 2: Here's Kyler Murray this week. Just on having eighty five

979
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 2: back as a target against the Niners. That's huge.

980
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 9: I think you know, alwa say we missed him last week. Move,

981
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 9: I think we missed him last week. You know, just

982
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 9: having him out there, another playmaker, another guy that gets

983
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 9: a job done no matter what, and you know his

984
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:30,760
Speaker 9: confidence is going to continue to grow. So I'm definitely

985
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 9: excited to have him back out there.

986
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 2: And you know what, had a really big game at

987
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 2: the Niners last year week for Michael Wilson, two touchdown catches,

988
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 2: had a huge game. You know him better than anyone did.

989
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 2: All four years line up together, you and him at Stanford.

990
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 5: It was a year he was there a year before me,

991
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 5: So he's a year older than me.

992
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 2: Okay, but you guys are in the same position room

993
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 2: all those years, right, Okay, So how about how cool

994
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 2: has that been and how much does that help your

995
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 2: assimilation to Arizona?

996
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, he helped a lot.

997
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 6: I mean always, you know, having something familiar with a

998
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 6: new place is always helpful.

999
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 5: Definitely miss seeing him as much as I used to

1000
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 5: in college.

1001
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 6: We're always in different rooms and whatnot, with him in

1002
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 6: the receiver room, me in the tight end room.

1003
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 5: But it definitely helped out a lot, for sure.

1004
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: So when you guys get together, I mean, at some

1005
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: point in time, you know, you're you're not always in

1006
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 1: meeting rooms. You're in the locker room with the other guys.

1007
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: You and Michael Flexing because of Stanford, are you and

1008
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 1: Michael Flexing got everyone else?

1009
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 6: Because maybe they went to pitt We don't flex on anybody.

1010
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 6: But people have to make fun of us for going

1011
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 6: to Stanford. I think it's an inferiority thing.

1012
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, we're going to Stanford.

1013
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:34,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, it doesn't make sense, right.

1014
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 2: See, the only downside of going to Stanford is if

1015
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 2: you ever make a mistake, then someone says you went

1016
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 2: to Stanford.

1017
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,280
Speaker 6: I get that allot from my sister, my younger sister.

1018
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 6: That's funny.

1019
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 2: So, by the way, he got engaged in the off season, right,

1020
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 2: you know, Sophia Smith.

1021
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 5: I was no, I didn't.

1022
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 2: Oh Michael Wilson. Michael Wilson got engaged and okay, so

1023
00:43:58,239 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 2: what's the deal? Are you have? You shop for a

1024
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 2: way gift? Yet, what do you get a guy like

1025
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 2: Mike Michael Wilson? What are you gonna do?

1026
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 5: It's tough. I don't know.

1027
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 6: I haven't give him that much that Actually, that's that's

1028
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 6: something I need to think about because that is going

1029
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 6: to be a typical decision.

1030
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,399
