Speaker 1: It doesn't get any better than that. Hors unleash the
Speaker 1: far and we come off the ball with a quote.
Speaker 1: We are quoting former player guests this season of the
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage and potential future player host of the
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage. Heck, maybe even future color analyst of
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, Kelvin Beecham, who earlier this week on
Speaker 1: the NFL calendar, turning to the month of December, and
Speaker 1: I quote, this is real football. So well, if you're
Speaker 1: not mentally ready at this moment for an extremely real
Speaker 1: edition of the Big Red Rage, presented by santan Ford
Speaker 1: and Gilbert, we are santan for this might be a
Speaker 1: good time to maybe I'll fake some technical difficulties, you know,
Speaker 1: come up with an excuse, save some face. If the
Speaker 1: moment is too big for you right now that it's December, Paula,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, right now, you can feel it, can't you.
Speaker 1: You can feel how big this game is. It looms,
Speaker 1: does it not? The Los Angeles Rams coming into State
Speaker 1: Farm Stadium. This is a huge, fulcrum type in the season.
Speaker 1: It'd be one thing if you were six and five
Speaker 1: as the Cardinals are, and hanging onto the last playoff
Speaker 1: spot as they are. It'd be another thing if, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, you've played five straight games decided by
Speaker 1: seven points or fewer, including four games that we're decided
Speaker 1: by three points or less, which, oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: that's all true as well. But now it's all compounded,
Speaker 1: is it not, by the fact that you're welcoming in
Speaker 1: a Rams team and you've never beaten their head coach
Speaker 1: Sean McVeagh has won all six encounters against his division
Speaker 1: rival Cardinals and Rams. And the truth, as we mentioned,
Speaker 1: this is an extremely real addition of the Big Red Rage.
Speaker 1: The truth is it hasn't been close. The combined score
Speaker 1: of those six wins by the Rams one ninety five
Speaker 1: to fifty six. Oh my goodness, way, that's all brutal.
Speaker 1: Right there. You know what I think of when I
Speaker 1: think of the Rams and I think of Sean McVay,
Speaker 1: I think of London. Did you remember if London? Paul? Right?
Speaker 1: You remember that was that that game? Paul got a
Speaker 1: little nasty, did it not? You want a quick, quick,
Speaker 1: poly postcard. So the Cardinals lose thirty three nothing, I
Speaker 1: believe was the final. Okay, thank you, Paul. It was
Speaker 1: the worst locker room set up you've ever seen. It
Speaker 1: was so cramped. It wasn't even made for like a
Speaker 1: high school baseball team. It was so cramped. So then
Speaker 1: you get out of there that you do the interviews,
Speaker 1: and then you realize that we have fifteen hour trip home.
Speaker 1: I believe it was fourteen PM. Off's fifteen, but it
Speaker 1: was fourteen, they said. And I'm standing in line at
Speaker 1: Heathrow and Customs waiting to get on the flight and
Speaker 1: I turn around because there's this big, hulking guy behind me,
Speaker 1: and I look and it's our starting quarterback, Carson Palmer
Speaker 1: and his arms in a sling, and he's done for
Speaker 1: the year. It can always get worse, Paul, And it
Speaker 1: did at that moment. There's no doubt about it. I
Speaker 1: think about Rams. This is going to be the most
Speaker 1: physical game of the season right now. This game is
Speaker 1: going to be one and lost on the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: Make no mistake and a gross simplification of the truth, Polly,
Speaker 1: It's gonna be one and lost in the trenches on
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. Can I name drop for
Speaker 1: just a minute, because different games are circled on a
Speaker 1: calendar by different players for different reasons. If you're an
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, do you think when the schedule comes out
Speaker 1: every April that perhaps you look to see where the
Speaker 1: Rams are. If you're an offensive lineman, well, more specifically,
Speaker 1: you look to see where Aaron Donald is. Exactly. I
Speaker 1: bring that up. And the name drop is Carson Palmer himself,
Speaker 1: because they did a broadcast with him earlier this week
Speaker 1: and I asked him about the all time best defenders
Speaker 1: he ever played against. He said there were three, and
Speaker 1: immediately he identified three Ed Reid, Troy Polamalo, and there
Speaker 1: was another guy that he said he truly feared going
Speaker 1: against Aaron Donald. Paul, Yeah, you know, I'm surprised. Did
Speaker 1: you sit down with Carson somewhere and have a maskless
Speaker 1: lunch somewhere Bold It was a zoom podcast slash broadcast.
Speaker 1: We covered a lot of topics, and he said, he said,
Speaker 1: the thing about Aaron Donald that was so imposing. It's
Speaker 1: one thing if the guy's on the edge, but when
Speaker 1: he's sitting there in the a gap and you're under center,
Speaker 1: and you realize that I'm going to be in three
Speaker 1: steps into a seven step drop and he could be
Speaker 1: on my back, he said, you realize this could be
Speaker 1: a You weren't eating of salami talking to him. Paul
Speaker 1: Marcus Golden, our guest on the Big Red Rage, snapped Newton,
Speaker 1: he's just gonna take a running left, but he's got
Speaker 1: running room at the forty heads for the sideline, gets
Speaker 1: drilled by Simmons on the far side of the forty
Speaker 1: six head. A flag comes down. Newton got the first
Speaker 1: down and Simmons hit him, blads, that's gonna put the
Speaker 1: ball in Cardinal territory. Oh my goodness, he was in
Speaker 1: rounds when he got hit fifty yard attempt to win
Speaker 1: the game for Nick Folk tied at seventeen, three seconds
Speaker 1: to go. Bulk is ready, snap, ball is down, the
Speaker 1: kick is up, the kick is good, and the Patriots
Speaker 1: win the game twenty to seventeen, a brutal loss for
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Zen Gonzalez misses a field goal, the Patriots
Speaker 1: make one and they went at twenty to seventeen, and
Speaker 1: the Cardinals fall to six and five, game winning kicked.
Speaker 1: There was a kin to a kick to the gut
Speaker 1: as the Cardinals fall in New England. Quoting Cam new
Speaker 1: no all about the quotes on this addition to the
Speaker 1: big Red rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. I'd
Speaker 1: rather have an ugly win than suffer a pretty loss.
Speaker 1: And Cam, you put the ugly into ugly win. There's
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. Nine of eighteen passing just eighty
Speaker 1: four yards through the air against at Cardinals defense. He
Speaker 1: had a passer rating sub twenty four. Zero touchdown passes,
Speaker 1: two picks. They're scoring drives, Old wolfiaskill, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: how exactly did New England win when their quarterback had
Speaker 1: a passer rating a twenty three point six. They had
Speaker 1: less than two hundred total yards, but their scoring drives
Speaker 1: covered forty six, thirty five, thirty one, and thirty three yards. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't think you have to ask yourself after you
Speaker 1: say that right there, when you say those numbers, Paul,
Speaker 1: I think about this. The Patriots had sixteen first down
Speaker 1: twelve first downs if you eliminate how they got penalties
Speaker 1: and first downs. Think about that, Paul. First downs in
Speaker 1: the game. There were four eleven on third down, which
Speaker 1: is bad. They had one hundred and seventy nine yards overall.
Speaker 1: Is this is You just do not win football games
Speaker 1: with those kind of numbers. Right there, And as soon
Speaker 1: as you hear those numbers, the first thing I think
Speaker 1: of is a failure on the offensive side of the ball. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know what, you got the fast start you wanted.
Speaker 1: That's what's so vexcine about this. Remember we did Cliff
Speaker 1: Kingsbury's TV show last week. At this time, he said,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm so tired of talking about getting
Speaker 1: a fast start and stressing and emphasizing a practice. I'm
Speaker 1: doing the opposite. I'm not mentioning at all. So what
Speaker 1: happens third play of the game. Our guest tonight on
Speaker 1: the big red rage Marcus Goldman his first career pick.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to him about that. They convert that into
Speaker 1: a touch the first play from scrimmage nineteen yards, but
Speaker 1: it was the longest play from scrimmage all game. They
Speaker 1: get out to the ten nothing lead. But again, it's
Speaker 1: how the game ends and the way the first half
Speaker 1: ended where the Cardinals didn't get any points on that
Speaker 1: fateful fourth and one, it was really fourth and six
Speaker 1: inches and Kenyan Drake got stopped and after the game,
Speaker 1: Wolf the Patriots site of that as an emotional motivational lift.
Speaker 1: They outscored the Cardinals ten nothing coming out a halftime.
Speaker 1: And the rest is what about that halftime sequence. Now
Speaker 1: that you've processed it, and I know you've been asked
Speaker 1: about this wherever you go, what do you make of
Speaker 1: that decision? The decision to go for it? Are you
Speaker 1: kidding me? Had a fifteen play drive, right, there was
Speaker 1: fourth in six inches for the most part, maybe five inches. Bully,
Speaker 1: I'm lining up and I'm going to go forward in
Speaker 1: that situation. Yes, I know, I'm getting the ball after
Speaker 1: the half. I understand that, but to me, you're on
Speaker 1: the road, you're playing the Patriots. It was a message
Speaker 1: of confidence to your offensive line and to your guys.
Speaker 1: And I can tell you right now, Polly, if in
Speaker 1: fact Cliff Kingsbury did not go for it in that
Speaker 1: situation and kicked the field goal, which basically would have
Speaker 1: would have deflated everybody, I think it could have had
Speaker 1: a bigger impact in in halftime on those players going
Speaker 1: in there thinking, man, the coach does not believe we
Speaker 1: could actually pick that up and score a touchdown and
Speaker 1: take the lead going into this game. I honestly, to me,
Speaker 1: I look at that and think there could have been
Speaker 1: bigger damage that was actually done by attempting field goal
Speaker 1: in that situation. That's interesting. I didn't think about that.
Speaker 1: You would know that having spent a decade in the
Speaker 1: NFL and being in those locker rooms. For me, I
Speaker 1: was screaming take the points just because the opponent you
Speaker 1: were playing was having such a tough time generating points.
Speaker 1: It's one thing if you're playing the Chiefs of Mahomes. Heck,
Speaker 1: if you're playing the Rams and Jared Goff and Sean McVay,
Speaker 1: I get it. But can I tell you, Paulie, honestly,
Speaker 1: it's an old saying, and this is true, especially amongst players.
Speaker 1: If we can't get fourth in six inches, we don't
Speaker 1: deserve to win, period. Kyler Murray on a common theme
Speaker 1: in the recent losing string three of the last four.
Speaker 1: In the games that we've lost, we've just kind of
Speaker 1: found a way to shoot ourselves in the foot, you know.
Speaker 1: And a lot of games that we feel like we
Speaker 1: should have won, we come out and we, you know,
Speaker 1: shoot ourselves in the foot. And it's not a good
Speaker 1: feeling to keep doing that over and over again. You know.
Speaker 1: We just we got to clean it up. You know,
Speaker 1: it's pretty obvious. I think everybody watching it sees it.
Speaker 1: There's another theme, by the way, after the Seattle and
Speaker 1: New England game, and it's the defensive players from both
Speaker 1: sides talking about how they were helping on not letting
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray run. In fact, Adrian Phillips, their safety linebacker
Speaker 1: for the Patriots, said, we really made sure that no
Speaker 1: matter what we're gonna we're gonna pressure this guy. We're
Speaker 1: gonna bring it after him. We're just not fixing to
Speaker 1: let him run around. So wolf have these defenses adjusted
Speaker 1: here recently, and how has that impacted Kyler and the
Speaker 1: Cardinals offense? Because you know the question he's heard most
Speaker 1: this week. Can the Cardinals win? Can the Cardinals be
Speaker 1: effect of an offense if you're not running the ball? Yeah, Paully,
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. A defensive game plan, it's
Speaker 1: starting to formulate. In regard to how you're gonna play
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. You're you're gonna play heavy on the edges.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna let him get outside of the pocket.
Speaker 1: You're gonna keep him in front of you. You're gonna
Speaker 1: collapse the pocket around you. It's gonna be a lot
Speaker 1: of five man pressure collapsing that pocket around. You're not
Speaker 1: going to let him throw the ball down the field.
Speaker 1: You're gonna make Kyler Murray beat you with his arms,
Speaker 1: not his leg, his arm. And that right there, PAULI,
Speaker 1: is a dangerous proposition because we know he's accurate. We
Speaker 1: know we can throw the ball down the field. But man,
Speaker 1: right now, it's clear Bill Belichick at least made that statement.
Speaker 1: You made Kyler Murray beat you with his arm. I
Speaker 1: tell you, from October through mid November, Kyler Murray ran
Speaker 1: for a touchdown at least one touchdown in five straight games.
Speaker 1: The Cardinals went four and one the last two games.
Speaker 1: He had fifteen yards on the ground against Seattle, thirty
Speaker 1: one on the grounds against New England losses thirty one
Speaker 1: yards or less of rushing for Kyler Murray has a Cardinal.
Speaker 1: The Cardinals are one nine and one. That's real, Paul.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you, Marcus Golden. Next on the big
Speaker 1: red rage Arnal shelling blitz. Here they Tom snapped. The
Speaker 1: Newton gets hit, ball flutters up in the air and
Speaker 1: picked off by Golden at the twenty three yard line
Speaker 1: and he's tackled. There is pressure backside Cam Newton's arm
Speaker 1: was hit, the ball popped up into the air and
Speaker 1: it's picked off by Golden. Oh what a great way
Speaker 1: to start on the first series. They came after him
Speaker 1: a six man rush. It was Jordan Hicks who knocked
Speaker 1: the ball into the air. About that the first third
Speaker 1: down of the game in New England, Wolf, there's you
Speaker 1: and pass. There's an old saying. Dave calls his college
Speaker 1: basketball and NBA old saynt and hoops that the ball
Speaker 1: finds energy right, Yes, So it's only fitting that when
Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks storms the pocket and the balls up in
Speaker 1: the air, boom that it ends up in the midst
Speaker 1: of our special guest. Great to have him back in Arizona.
Speaker 1: Great to have him back on the Big Red Rage.
Speaker 1: Say good evening to Marcus Golden. Marcus, how are you doing?
Speaker 1: How are you doing? I'm doing good. I'm doing good.
Speaker 1: Great to be back. I apprechase you man if I
Speaker 1: feel good to be able to talk to you all
Speaker 1: again and build as Marcus, Thank you so much, buddy.
Speaker 1: It's great talking to you as well. How physical was
Speaker 1: this game against the Patriots? In terms of games that
Speaker 1: you've played, How physical was this one? It was up there,
Speaker 1: It was up there, I was I was pretty sore
Speaker 1: after the game Sunday and then Monday woke up at
Speaker 1: a little sore. So you know, it was a run
Speaker 1: heavy game. They came down here running a lot of
Speaker 1: line and was putting. So it was one of them
Speaker 1: games that I like to be a part of. The shoot.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that you turned that football into a souvenir.
Speaker 1: What are your plans for your first career interception the
Speaker 1: football itself? Do you have it there at the house, Yes,
Speaker 1: I got it. I got it here, I got it.
Speaker 1: I hadn't picked it up from my locker today and
Speaker 1: putting in the car and took it with me. Man,
Speaker 1: so I probably I probably did saved. I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to say this one from myself. Man, give it to
Speaker 1: my son when you get a little older, son. Well,
Speaker 1: but this one pretty special, so I'm gonna keep this one.
Speaker 1: You heard the play by play, Passion Wolf. Give us
Speaker 1: your play by play, Marcus. Take us through that play
Speaker 1: and then pulling the balls up in the air. Oh
Speaker 1: so yeah, yes, like you said, then the place started.
Speaker 1: I went from rushing and before you know what, Jordan's hits.
Speaker 1: I saw him coming in fast. Jordan made it happen.
Speaker 1: He went and I did the hard work, and that
Speaker 1: he did that the ball was in the hurt and
Speaker 1: then of course it felt like it was in the
Speaker 1: earth forever. I'm sitting there watching the ball in slow motion,
Speaker 1: and then it came right to me. I just had
Speaker 1: to jump up a bit, and then it came right
Speaker 1: in my hands and I caught it. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: let me try to run. But they was only pretty quick.
Speaker 1: I didn't do nothing. You wanted to get that thing
Speaker 1: right I did. Then I did. I want to go
Speaker 1: back to my old running back day when I caught it,
Speaker 1: but they got on you quick, so he was like,
Speaker 1: I just take this. When I went right to the sideline,
Speaker 1: told Jordan, thank Marcus. Did you get the opportunity to
Speaker 1: hit Cam Newton? And did that hurt you when you
Speaker 1: hit him? No? I ain't get to tend I wanted to,
Speaker 1: but but uh no, No, I ain't get Cam a
Speaker 1: good quarterback. Man ain't pretty being probably the biggest quarterbacker
Speaker 1: I ever faced the marker, but he for either still
Speaker 1: got it in him. Man still got a lot in him,
Speaker 1: was out there running around. But I got a lot
Speaker 1: of respect for Candim. I mean, Marcus, take us through
Speaker 1: that game. In the takeaways for your defense. Two interceptions
Speaker 1: by the Cardinals defense. They had less than two hundred
Speaker 1: yards total offense. Cam at eighty four yards passing, no
Speaker 1: touchdown passes. This passer rating was twenty three points six.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, you tell me what was the
Speaker 1: film session like this week? Because there was so much
Speaker 1: the like about what the defense did except for the
Speaker 1: final score. Yes, of course, of course, when you played
Speaker 1: with half a game like that as a defense, everybody
Speaker 1: was excited to have you. But that's what I respect
Speaker 1: about this defense and just from me being here from
Speaker 1: my short time to being hit through the season, that's
Speaker 1: been good to see because we moved right on. We moved.
Speaker 1: We look at the mistakes. We celebrate what we did,
Speaker 1: but we look we try to go in and fix
Speaker 1: the mistakes and move on. But it was pretty exciting
Speaker 1: to watch the field. And when you have a game
Speaker 1: like that, you got to give him credit to the
Speaker 1: coaching man. The coaching put a good game playing together
Speaker 1: and we went out there on extra and it felt
Speaker 1: good to go out there and, like like Wolf said,
Speaker 1: had a physical game and come out on top in
Speaker 1: the stats. But of course you want to always get
Speaker 1: to win, but it felt good to get out there
Speaker 1: and have a good, big game as a defense. Marcus,
Speaker 1: what was the game plan defensively in terms of defending
Speaker 1: Cam Newton in this Patriots offense? Can you give us
Speaker 1: a couple of pointers on that? Really? You really you
Speaker 1: knew it was gonna be a physical game, and the
Speaker 1: game plan was to get out there and these physical
Speaker 1: and do what we had to do to stop the run.
Speaker 1: And uh, and of course coaching grew up some good
Speaker 1: plays and everything that was able to. Of course Cam
Speaker 1: didn't have a good day passing, so coaching there up
Speaker 1: grew up with some good plays. And but that what
Speaker 1: I just said, we played real hard and coach coach guy,
Speaker 1: that's right there week and we was able to get
Speaker 1: out there and execute. You know, we've been giving Advanced
Speaker 1: Joseph props pretty much all season, but when you look
Speaker 1: at this now, you know, you realize here as we
Speaker 1: go into Week thirteen, sixteen different Cardinals defenders have at
Speaker 1: least one sack that leads the NFL. Twenty four different
Speaker 1: players have started a game on defense this season for
Speaker 1: Advanced Joseph. Just tell me about the degree of difficulty
Speaker 1: and trying to get everyone dialed in and how much
Speaker 1: more impressive that is considering, yes, that is, that's some
Speaker 1: good numbers. That's something I didn't even know about that.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I got a like just when playing with
Speaker 1: the last couple of games and being here, man, I
Speaker 1: love playing in this defense is physical. You get out there,
Speaker 1: you get to get out there and compete and try
Speaker 1: to make play. So I got a lot of respect
Speaker 1: for him and what he's doing up man out and
Speaker 1: I'm glad to be a part of on third down. Marcus,
Speaker 1: talk to me a little bit about scheme and what
Speaker 1: you guys are doing. Would you would you characterize yourself
Speaker 1: as an aggressive defense on third down? Or doesn't matter
Speaker 1: more game by game and game plan. Yeah. Of course
Speaker 1: in the NFL you play so many different teams each week,
Speaker 1: so of course you go by the game playing and
Speaker 1: what you're playing each week. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: you get to get like I said, you get to
Speaker 1: get out there and compete and be aggressive and try
Speaker 1: to get out of the quarterback in this defense and
Speaker 1: a course for a player like me, I love to
Speaker 1: come and be a part of a defense. Bit you
Speaker 1: talk about getting after the quarterback or on board with
Speaker 1: Marcus Golden Cardinals twenty fifteen second round pick here on
Speaker 1: the Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert
Speaker 1: and you talk about getting after the quarterback. I think
Speaker 1: of Isaiah Simmons at the end of the game and
Speaker 1: that Mondo hit on cam by the way once again,
Speaker 1: everybody now he was in bounds. But we know how
Speaker 1: it works. You know it works, Marcus. You hit the
Speaker 1: quarterback too hard, they're likely to throw the flag. Tell
Speaker 1: Us about Isaiah Simmons, especially the past couple of weeks
Speaker 1: as he's flashed, and just tell us about his progress
Speaker 1: and what you've seen. Oh yeah, he of course, man
Speaker 1: on that play was out there compete and trying to
Speaker 1: make him play for the team to win. So you
Speaker 1: can't do number respected, especially for from a young player
Speaker 1: that that from being here, being here with him, he's
Speaker 1: been being able to make plays and help us out
Speaker 1: on the defensing. I'm excited for Him'm excited for him.
Speaker 1: Of course, he got a bright future. You can see
Speaker 1: him just from the plays he's been making. He got
Speaker 1: a real bright future, and I'm excited for him. You
Speaker 1: know what, Marcus, I love the fact that he put
Speaker 1: the wood to Cam Newton right there, right, I mean
Speaker 1: that that bodes well to me. It looked like, I mean,
Speaker 1: Cam's a big guy, and he was running fast and
Speaker 1: it was legal and it was in bonds, and he
Speaker 1: stuck to the shoulder on him good and he pulled
Speaker 1: his head. He did everything right. That's why he felt
Speaker 1: so bad for him. But based on what you've seen
Speaker 1: right now, will will Isaiah Simmons stick his face into
Speaker 1: the fire. That's my question. Hey, that's what he just
Speaker 1: said he. I guess he proved it with that play
Speaker 1: right there, hitting Cam and and showing that each trying
Speaker 1: to win and showing that each trying to compete and
Speaker 1: actually win the game, and that, like I said, I
Speaker 1: respect that, especially coming from a young player. And that's
Speaker 1: what I see. And if he get out there each
Speaker 1: weekend and he competing, he competing in practice, and he
Speaker 1: working hard to try to win the game. So I've
Speaker 1: got a lot of respect for him, and he got
Speaker 1: a bright future. How much are you thinking is a
Speaker 1: defender these days? Is it tougher than ever to play?
Speaker 1: Do you have to think before you hit? No? No,
Speaker 1: I'm not. You know how when you get out there
Speaker 1: and play football, you just know guy had been playing
Speaker 1: it the right way. I feel like it ain't been
Speaker 1: too many penalties, especially with the teams I've been the
Speaker 1: defenses I've been playing with. But you had those penalties sometime.
Speaker 1: But I don't feel like you got to think when
Speaker 1: you out there. At the end of the day, you
Speaker 1: got to play football at fast and physical, But I
Speaker 1: don't feel like guys out there thinking if you just
Speaker 1: sometimes those type of players have well, before the Cardinals,
Speaker 1: there was Missouri. There was MISSOI for Marcus Golton. Before that,
Speaker 1: there was another football experience with a current teammate who's
Speaker 1: on the Cardinals defense. We'll get into that, and Bill,
Speaker 1: if you realize that Marcus Golton has already played the
Speaker 1: Rams this year with the Giants, he's already so he's
Speaker 1: gonna play him three times in the regular season, We'll
Speaker 1: get into that as well. It is a big red
Speaker 1: rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. We are santan Ford.
Speaker 1: Newton takes the snap. He's gonna give it to Harris
Speaker 1: up the middle, and he's drilled by Devandre Schambell. Pitched
Speaker 1: to Harris running left side, and he's in trouble behind
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and thrown the ground. It's by Campbell.
Speaker 1: Here's a jet sweep to Harry on the far side.
Speaker 1: Devondre Campbell has it sniffed out. Newton drops back the throne,
Speaker 1: steps up in the pocket, gets hit by Devondre Campbell
Speaker 1: at sack at the twenty five yard line. You want
Speaker 1: to talk about bring your own energy. The defense certainly
Speaker 1: did no doubt the yoe bring your own energy. It
Speaker 1: is necessary on the road I mean, it really is
Speaker 1: strange when you're in these road venues and there's not
Speaker 1: a single fan. You know, Cardinals are gonna have a
Speaker 1: smattering of fans on Sunday, but it is vital and
Speaker 1: we see what happens when the Cardinals have not had
Speaker 1: that energy. There was the lass against Carolina Wolf. Of
Speaker 1: course Marcus Golden was not there for that. Anytime Marcus
Speaker 1: is around, you're guaranteed as some energy. He's our guests
Speaker 1: here on the Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford
Speaker 1: and Gilbert tell us about that the dynamic of being
Speaker 1: on the road because Marcus, if I listen to you
Speaker 1: guys in years past, so much of what you guys
Speaker 1: brought into the road was us against them, and you're
Speaker 1: feeding off the fans and the haters, right and they're
Speaker 1: behind your bench. Well, how different is it and how
Speaker 1: difficult can it be at times when you don't have
Speaker 1: that element firing you up? Yes, yes, I gotta admit
Speaker 1: to that. Man. I was one because early be like practice,
Speaker 1: I'll be able to get out there bring out own energy.
Speaker 1: But yeah, when you're playing the way games and there
Speaker 1: ain't no fans there, it's it's different. It's a lot
Speaker 1: different than what we used to is. So you know
Speaker 1: the fans, you need the fans, you need to trash
Speaker 1: talk to the noise, the fans being allowed when the
Speaker 1: other team scores, like when you get in fact, you
Speaker 1: hear the noise. It's just it's just different. It's a
Speaker 1: lot different than But that's well, that's a helpful to healthful.
Speaker 1: We can get that back. But that's why I appreciate
Speaker 1: playing the Arizona because our fans that that was pretty
Speaker 1: pretty good. That was pretty good for the last game
Speaker 1: I played in as the home game, Marcus, do you
Speaker 1: feel any pressure that you've got to be that guy
Speaker 1: that you've got to be the energy guy that you
Speaker 1: have to be, that your teammates need to feed off
Speaker 1: that energy that you need to lead that way. Do
Speaker 1: you feel any pressure? No, No, not at all, not
Speaker 1: at all. There's just who I am and when I'm
Speaker 1: playing the game, might get out there and compete and
Speaker 1: have fun, and especially with what's going on now, you
Speaker 1: got to really do that. So I just I appreciate
Speaker 1: being in the NFL and especially being back in Arizona
Speaker 1: and being able to be a cardinal again. So I
Speaker 1: got enough that's enough for me to get out there
Speaker 1: and want to compete, or I don't. I don't feel
Speaker 1: no pressure at all. Well, it's all about you. Presented
Speaker 1: by Santan Ford and Gilbert Marcus Golden. We're gonna hit
Speaker 1: the rewind button here because you mentioned you're a cardinal,
Speaker 1: you're a giant, and then you are a cardinal to
Speaker 1: start your NFL career. Before that, you were a Missoo Tiger,
Speaker 1: and then right before that, you were a Blue Dragon.
Speaker 1: I was not aware of this, but our own Jim Amahundro,
Speaker 1: fine producer and former Saint Louis Guy himself made us
Speaker 1: aware that you were a member of the Hutchinson Community
Speaker 1: College Blue Dragons in Kansas. And you aren't the only
Speaker 1: one in this Cardinals defense Phillis in. Yes, that's true.
Speaker 1: That's true. So uh when I when I left from
Speaker 1: high school, I had ended up going to junior college
Speaker 1: out in Hudgerson Campus, like you said, playing playing in
Speaker 1: duco with Hutchinson Community College and Divine Dre Campbell. He
Speaker 1: was my roommate up there. He was my roommate while
Speaker 1: we was up in Hutchinson. And then that's crazy and
Speaker 1: meet him talk about it at least once a week
Speaker 1: or every other day. High Its crazy that we're playing
Speaker 1: on the same team in the NFL. So that's that's
Speaker 1: a pretty good story, man. And then I'm excited for
Speaker 1: him because I really got to see him putting the
Speaker 1: hard work back in the day, and he got to
Speaker 1: see me putting the hard work. So that's that's that's
Speaker 1: amazing to be able to be on the field with him.
Speaker 1: Come on, now, come on now, brother, come on, Marcus,
Speaker 1: tell us a story, all right, tells a story from
Speaker 1: Hutchinson Community College. Who was the voice of reason? Marcus?
Speaker 1: You know between the two of you when you guys
Speaker 1: were roommates, who was the crazy guy and who was
Speaker 1: the voice of reason? You know, it was the rational guy. Now, man,
Speaker 1: we used to be chillers. Man, he was killing. It's
Speaker 1: pretty different man, when you when you in duco, Man,
Speaker 1: duco pretty different. So I mean we helped each other
Speaker 1: out a lot. Man. I had his back, he had
Speaker 1: my back, and uh, that's really what it was. Man.
Speaker 1: He was a good deal man. And like I said,
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I'm glad that he was able to do
Speaker 1: what he did because, like we it's crazy because we
Speaker 1: really was young kids coming out of high school, and
Speaker 1: and then Duke go with each other and now we
Speaker 1: understand the NFL team, and so I'm proud of him, man,
Speaker 1: And then it's a good feeling to be able to
Speaker 1: play with him. Marcus, when you were at Hutchinson, did
Speaker 1: you ever think he'd play in the NFL? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I did, man. That was if I if I didn't
Speaker 1: think I would play in the NFL, I wouldn't even
Speaker 1: went out to Hutchinson and wasted my time. Husson, Husson.
Speaker 1: It's pretty different, man, So yeah, that was the only
Speaker 1: reg Like, what what town is it that? Uh, it's
Speaker 1: it's up in Kansas. It's Hunch It's yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: small town. You know, Like I never was driving up
Speaker 1: with my mom and dad were driving and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm saying the dirt road and I'm like, oh man,
Speaker 1: it didn't different. It's different. So it was it was
Speaker 1: a town that I wanted to get out of. Of course,
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. It was a good experience. I learned
Speaker 1: a lot of you. I'm glad it was happening to
Speaker 1: me because I learned the lot of became Matrore. But
Speaker 1: but uh, it ain't nothing that I want to go
Speaker 1: back to. You've been more desperate. Yeah, I mean you're
Speaker 1: a city guy, right, you grew up in Saint Louis
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you're on a dirt road.
Speaker 1: Uh Hutchinson communication. But you know what you know, you
Speaker 1: know what's amazing is I mean it's a certified football factory. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you Alvin Kamara, Corderyl Patterson, Gerald Everett, the
Speaker 1: Rams tight end. These these are some of the names
Speaker 1: that went through Hutchinson. Marcus. Yes, yes, I played with
Speaker 1: Cordelle Patterson. Man, it was it wasn't a lot of
Speaker 1: great players up there that didn't make it, man. So
Speaker 1: that's that's that's the thing about junior college. You learned
Speaker 1: a lot from their own in the field. Man. You
Speaker 1: gotta you really know if you really wanted to not
Speaker 1: going to junior college, especially up the Hutchinson And like
Speaker 1: I said, I don't want to make it seem like
Speaker 1: it was a bad thing. I had a great experience
Speaker 1: and met a lot of great people, so and I
Speaker 1: let a lot of great people in the town. So
Speaker 1: I got a lot of respect for Hutchinson. But but
Speaker 1: it was, it was, it was. It was. It was
Speaker 1: a good experience, but I would have to get to
Speaker 1: him to do and be able to move along to
Speaker 1: the NFL. Well, forget about Hutchinson, Okay for the time
Speaker 1: being right now, but talk a little bit about Davondre Campbell,
Speaker 1: your former ROOMI and his NFL experience. When you look
Speaker 1: at him play, what do you respect about Devondre Campbell
Speaker 1: in his game? I always what I always knew if
Speaker 1: he was smart man, even like in junior college, he
Speaker 1: always knew the plays, always been telling people what to do.
Speaker 1: So that's one thing. And I knew he react fast man,
Speaker 1: the big guy that reacts fast and always flying around.
Speaker 1: So and that's what I respected about him most man.
Speaker 1: You know how to he know everybody's job. Even with
Speaker 1: me this being here and sometimes not knowing exactly what
Speaker 1: to do, he was able to help me out. So
Speaker 1: that's what That's one thing about it. He's smart and
Speaker 1: he get to fly around the field and you're not kidding.
Speaker 1: I mean he really gets sidelined to sideline, doesn't he.
Speaker 1: You know when I first saw him, when he showed up,
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, I mean he's standing eight eye knows
Speaker 1: the knows with Isaiah Simmons. He's the same size, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm guessing the forty obviously isn't the same. But for
Speaker 1: that size, he definitely has the speed and especially in
Speaker 1: that game against New England, like he wasn't the first
Speaker 1: month of the season. Man, You just he was always
Speaker 1: around the ball. Yeah, yes, he was flying around, man,
Speaker 1: And that's what that's what he always been a guy
Speaker 1: to fly around and know everybody got on the field
Speaker 1: is That's why I'm even more excited to be on
Speaker 1: the field with him because I feel like me and
Speaker 1: him on the same on the same defense, and then
Speaker 1: we got a good team. Can you talk about the
Speaker 1: confidence of the defense right now? Can you actually bring
Speaker 1: us up to speed on where you think you guys are,
Speaker 1: because as you know, Marcus, it's so important to be confident.
Speaker 1: Not only individually is a football player when you're competing
Speaker 1: at the highest level our species can to generate, but
Speaker 1: also collectively. Talk about the confidence level on the defense
Speaker 1: right down? Like I said, and like I said, I
Speaker 1: haven't been heard this whole year, but me coming in
Speaker 1: and being able to play with the defense, that's what
Speaker 1: I respect about the most. A lot of confident guys
Speaker 1: and they actually believe. We believing in each other and
Speaker 1: believing in the coaches. So that's what I respect the most.
Speaker 1: And we're flying around in practice, and like I said,
Speaker 1: even when we get out there and do the good stuff,
Speaker 1: we come back and we were all excited to fix
Speaker 1: the mistakes. So that's what that's what I noticed most
Speaker 1: is about the defense. Anytime you got a mindset like that,
Speaker 1: I know that you got a chance for some success
Speaker 1: on the field for sure. Well, look, we know you
Speaker 1: already played the Rams this season when you were with
Speaker 1: the Giants, and you went to so Far Stadium where
Speaker 1: the Cardinals are gonna end up the season. So we're
Speaker 1: gonna get into the Rams next. And what exactly needs
Speaker 1: to happen against Sean McVay Jared Goal try and crack
Speaker 1: the code of this Rams offense and get the Cardinals
Speaker 1: a much needed win. Right now, they are a game
Speaker 1: behind the Rams. Of course, they're only a game ahead
Speaker 1: of the forty nine ers. The NFC is about as
Speaker 1: tight as we thought, as competitive as we thought, and
Speaker 1: down the stretch we come in December football, so when
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll get into this the matchup against
Speaker 1: the Ram's offense and what exactly the Cardinals have to
Speaker 1: do to beat La. It is the Big Red Rage
Speaker 1: presented by satan Ford and Gilbert our special guest Marcus Golden.
Speaker 1: As we continue with the Big Red Rage here on
Speaker 1: this Thursday evening, got back to pass up third and long.
Speaker 1: Instead he is sacked by Marcus Golden. The junkyard dog
Speaker 1: got a treat. Goff is gonna get hit at the
Speaker 1: twenty and sacked by Golden. Steps up and gets hit
Speaker 1: and sacked Marcus Golden another sack. I guarantee you right now,
Speaker 1: Jared Goff doesn't have a single hair on his back.
Speaker 1: You can hear that dog barking right now, Marcus Golden.
Speaker 1: There you go a little montage. I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: that's great stuff. You Wolf does some of his best
Speaker 1: work with you edge rushers, whether it's you or Chandler Jones. Marcus,
Speaker 1: you know he enjoys he boom. He gets out of
Speaker 1: his seat in the radio booth when you guys make
Speaker 1: a play off the edge. I'm telling you, by the way,
Speaker 1: we saw that against the Rams, and here on the
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage before we go to the Rams twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: how you already played the Rams. We want to go
Speaker 1: back to twenty seventeen in London and the cardinals very
Speaker 1: first game against Sean McVay, and you tell us, do
Speaker 1: you vividly remember hearing Sean mcvay's voice out of the
Speaker 1: headset through the ear holes of Jared Goff as he
Speaker 1: was under center at the line of scrimmage, and up
Speaker 1: until fifteen seconds are left in the play clock, you
Speaker 1: can hear his play caller and head coach barking out
Speaker 1: orders and instructions to his young quarterback. Do you remember that? No, No,
Speaker 1: I don't remember that. I remember guys talking about it
Speaker 1: and everything and guy saying that that was what was
Speaker 1: going on, but I was Actually I didn't get to
Speaker 1: play in that game that year, but I remember guys
Speaker 1: talking about it and Channing and was talking about it,
Speaker 1: but they said it was crazy. So yeah, I remember,
Speaker 1: but I didn't get You ain't get the chance to
Speaker 1: get out there with him. So tat us talk to
Speaker 1: us about what it's like to play a team that
Speaker 1: basically owns you. Sean McVeigh has actually been the head
Speaker 1: coach in LA. The Rams have won six straight games
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals. Do you guys think about at all
Speaker 1: coming into this game. No, not a dogar. This is
Speaker 1: my first time fun knowing about that too. So no,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you got a lot of respect
Speaker 1: for Simon Fagan and what they'd been doing out there
Speaker 1: with the Rams, and I didn't been able to play.
Speaker 1: I played against him this year, and I got a
Speaker 1: lot of respect for him. But we're gonna be ready
Speaker 1: to get out there and compete. And then when you
Speaker 1: look now finding that out, you look forward to getting
Speaker 1: out there and competing with him, competing with him even more.
Speaker 1: All right, So when guys ask you this week, all right,
Speaker 1: what's that Ram's offense all about twenty and twenty you
Speaker 1: already played him. What were some of your main takeaways
Speaker 1: after going against that offense? The same thing. And they talented.
Speaker 1: They got some talented receivers over the Cooper, Uh, he
Speaker 1: real talented men. And you got the quarterback. I feel
Speaker 1: like he's good even though his coaches people say his
Speaker 1: coach is telling him what to do. He's the guy
Speaker 1: out there making the plays and making the throw. And
Speaker 1: I got a lot of respects for golfing, and so
Speaker 1: that's what they got. They got a lot of talents
Speaker 1: to guys out bet talk about the running attack, because
Speaker 1: to me, I think it's something that they've got to
Speaker 1: develop a little bit more. But when you watch him
Speaker 1: on tape, talk about the offensive line, if you don't
Speaker 1: mind Marcus and the running backs, Yeah, the offensive line,
Speaker 1: you you got to respect a couple hold of guys.
Speaker 1: Of course, uh if he's daning right now. So you
Speaker 1: got another guy, he's been playing pretty good, number seven.
Speaker 1: He's been playing pretty good out there and come stepping
Speaker 1: in for wit Worth and the running the backs. I
Speaker 1: remember playing them fairly on when I was with the Giants.
Speaker 1: Have some young running backs and those guys were running hard.
Speaker 1: That just from Watton Finn, you can tell they've been
Speaker 1: getting better at the season going on. So and like
Speaker 1: I said, you've got to respect that offense. They got
Speaker 1: some coming excited to get to play them. And last
Speaker 1: time I played them, I didn't really get to play
Speaker 1: a lot out there, and so I only played a
Speaker 1: few plays. So to get out there and be able
Speaker 1: to compete against the Rims, I'm always excited to get
Speaker 1: out and compete against the Rings. You know, the book
Speaker 1: on Jared Goff here over the past month or so, guys,
Speaker 1: is that he's been struggling with his downfield throws. He
Speaker 1: has ten turnovers in the last four games, even though
Speaker 1: he had only four turnovers in the first seven games.
Speaker 1: Something's going on. They're not throwing downfield as much and
Speaker 1: it's really resulted in Sean McVeigh relying on a lot
Speaker 1: of short passes and screens and apparently the Niners, Robert Salad,
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator, took advantage of that and then they
Speaker 1: were able to get to Jared goff Vance Joseph your
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, Marcus talking today about that need to get
Speaker 1: into the backfield. Obviously applying some pressure to the quarterback
Speaker 1: is as always, kid, I'll keep the pass game to
Speaker 1: a minimum. This quarterback is very accurate. He throws the
Speaker 1: ball with great timing, and he has two great targets.
Speaker 1: He throwing the ball too, that's cupping woods, you know.
Speaker 1: So it's it's going to be a challenge to get
Speaker 1: those guys are contained with the pass game. To what
Speaker 1: degree is it critical that you try and disguise what
Speaker 1: you're doing, not only the front end, but the back
Speaker 1: end as well, just to try and get Jared Golf
Speaker 1: and or any quarterback just thinking from snap to snap Marcus. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's really important. You've got a lot of smart quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: That's that's most quarterbacks in the NFL, real smart and
Speaker 1: talented and got big on them. So you want to
Speaker 1: be able to switch it up on him. You know,
Speaker 1: you can't keep throwing the same thing get him. But
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you got to be
Speaker 1: able to get after him, especially a guy like Golf.
Speaker 1: He got a big arm and got some good targets
Speaker 1: and cupping woods, and he can really get the ball
Speaker 1: out quick and he can make some big throws. So
Speaker 1: you got to be able to get after him up front.
Speaker 1: It's so much like I keep saying, that's something I
Speaker 1: look forward to. You know, it's interesting, Marcus, because so
Speaker 1: much of the time, I think an offense that plays
Speaker 1: with leads right, I think edge rushers and leads go
Speaker 1: very very well together. I think an offense that gives
Speaker 1: a team a lead, does it make your job easier?
Speaker 1: And if it does, how uh me? For me? I
Speaker 1: never really got into aller that of course you want
Speaker 1: to do. If you get up and you gotta lead
Speaker 1: in the game, you be able to rush more because
Speaker 1: the other team is passing. But like I said, when
Speaker 1: you play a team like the Rims, you're expecting them
Speaker 1: to pass anyway, big time quarterback back there, and you
Speaker 1: know you're gonna be able to have a chance to
Speaker 1: get after the quarterback going against the Rims. But of
Speaker 1: course when you got it, when you got a good offense,
Speaker 1: and playing with the Cardinals with Kylin Mury here and
Speaker 1: he's being able to get the ball in his own
Speaker 1: a lot, leading leading the offense, of course they helps
Speaker 1: out a lot too. Marcus. I've got to ask you
Speaker 1: this right here because I'm sorry, Pauli, but this is incredible, Marcus,
Speaker 1: your approach to the game of football. It to me,
Speaker 1: it sounds like the more and more I talk to you,
Speaker 1: you don't care what the scores, you don't care what
Speaker 1: the quarter is, you don't care who you're playing, you
Speaker 1: don't care. You're gonna play every play the exact same way.
Speaker 1: If that is true, it's tell me if that's true.
Speaker 1: Markets of course, of course that's true. Man. I feel like,
Speaker 1: if if you ain't playing like that, you ain't trying
Speaker 1: to win the game. And anytime I step on the field,
Speaker 1: that's exactly what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: get out there and do whatever I got to do
Speaker 1: to help my team win. So and I know and
Speaker 1: I know landing on the line that's gonna be able
Speaker 1: to help the team. So where do you get that from?
Speaker 1: Where does that come from? It you really that that's
Speaker 1: just how I was brought up, man. I just feel
Speaker 1: like being from Saint Louis and growing up in Saint Louis,
Speaker 1: that's just the mentality you gotta have that. I was
Speaker 1: able to take that mentality and take it to the
Speaker 1: football field, and I've been able to have success with him. Man.
Speaker 1: So that's just how I play the game. And then
Speaker 1: he goes back to like I said at the end
Speaker 1: of the day. I know I keep saying it, but
Speaker 1: I feel like, if you want to win, you got
Speaker 1: to be able to play like that. And at the
Speaker 1: end of day, I'm trying to win. No Wonder, Walf
Speaker 1: and I think just cracked that code. Guy's feed off
Speaker 1: his energy, right, No Wonder, he's that catalyst on a defense,
Speaker 1: Marcus Golden, I'll throw this at your Marcus Wilf And
Speaker 1: I've been doing this long enough that we've seen teams
Speaker 1: come into State Farm Stadium and they have these highly
Speaker 1: rated defenses. Right, the opposing defense is getting all this praise.
Speaker 1: And here's the Rams. They're the number one scoring defense,
Speaker 1: and they're number two in total defense, and they have
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald and and that can tend to fire up
Speaker 1: the Cardinals defense when they hear the opposing defense get
Speaker 1: all these props and praise. What do you think is that?
Speaker 1: Is that a little bit of that dynamic this week?
Speaker 1: Perhaps not? I haven't felt that at all. I haven't
Speaker 1: felt like that about it. I feel like it's more
Speaker 1: of a It's a rival game, man, you know you
Speaker 1: like you said, it's a rival game. We played them
Speaker 1: every year, and like me being from Saint Louis, Missouri
Speaker 1: and growing up a Rams fan and all of that,
Speaker 1: So that's what I look more towards. It a rival game.
Speaker 1: And and then and it's and it's a December game,
Speaker 1: so you know it's gonna be a physical game. You
Speaker 1: know it's gonna be exciting. And that's what I look
Speaker 1: for too. You know what, Marcus stayed left Saint Louis,
Speaker 1: so you owe him one, you know, on behalf of
Speaker 1: everyone in Saint Louis, all your friends and family. You
Speaker 1: need to take it out on the Rams. No, No,
Speaker 1: we already getting paid them back for that one. Man.
Speaker 1: So now now I just want to get out there
Speaker 1: and get our bank, compete and win. But we can,
Speaker 1: but we can be able to move on and keep competing. Man, Definitely,
Speaker 1: I'm definitely I'm focusing on right now. Marcus. Just remember
Speaker 1: I played for the Rams my last year in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety five in Saint Louis. Man, Oh, it was fantastic
Speaker 1: being back in Saint Louis as well. Marcus. Thank you man,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for your time. Brother. We appreciate it.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys. Always good talking for you. Thanks
Speaker 1: for having our pleasure. Marcus, thank you very much, outstanding.
Speaker 1: I ran into him in the team Hotel Wolf in
Speaker 1: the meal room. He couldn't see it. I' this massive
Speaker 1: smile on my face. You couldn't see it because as
Speaker 1: we're in a mask, but they're always smiling. We're on,
Speaker 1: Marcus Golden will come back RAPP issue for the Big
Speaker 1: Red Range presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert Nobody give
Speaker 1: us a chance. Hey, we play together. We know why House,
Speaker 1: That's why I hit the story him. Man's I want you,
Speaker 1: He's Rod. What's up, what come and get it? Wow,
Speaker 1: the unmistakable voice of former Cardinal the late great Kwami Lasseter.
Speaker 1: He would have been fifty one today. Ron Wolfley passed
Speaker 1: away in January twenty nineteen, first player host of the
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage circa two thousand and two. That was
Speaker 1: right about the time when Kwami Laster had that nine
Speaker 1: interception season. I mean, some unbelievable football played by the
Speaker 1: former Cardinals safety and a guy who also played for
Speaker 1: the Chargers and wrapped up with the Rams. He played
Speaker 1: in Saint Louis two thousand and four. And this is
Speaker 1: the Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert
Speaker 1: and the Rams of the team on the schedule not
Speaker 1: once but twice over these final five games. And well,
Speaker 1: as you've been looking at film and just based on
Speaker 1: pass games, six games, six losses against Sean McVeagh, is
Speaker 1: there one common theme or threat. Is there something that
Speaker 1: he's able to do to get over on the Cardinals
Speaker 1: year to year and have such success. Yeah, for the
Speaker 1: most part, Polly, I would say turnovers and fuel position.
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be critical in this game.
Speaker 1: I just want to comment on Kuami, if you don't
Speaker 1: mind Polly. Yeah, I'm so sorry about this, but I
Speaker 1: have to do this. When I think of Quami Lasseter Polly,
Speaker 1: I think of love and respect. It fills me in
Speaker 1: my heart love and respect for him and Polly. We're
Speaker 1: talking awful lot about legacy, right people. What's your legacy? Ed?
Speaker 1: What is your lega sayed? You know what, Honestly, that's
Speaker 1: what his legacy is. When you think of Quamiami Quami,
Speaker 1: the love and respect that I have in my heart
Speaker 1: for him. He's sorely missed, There's no doubt about that.
Speaker 1: But i'd a you think of Quami, you can't help
Speaker 1: but smile. He can't. He was always he was always
Speaker 1: the bright spot in the room, always the nicest guy
Speaker 1: in the room. Yea. At the same time, he head
Speaker 1: have fun with you in trash talky, especially out on
Speaker 1: a golf course. Oh my goodness, can get a golf
Speaker 1: ball as well? Wow? Could he play? Yes? I mean well,
Speaker 1: how many Cardinals charity golf events did we m see
Speaker 1: the Quami one? Yeah? Exactly, Bali, But going back to
Speaker 1: this game right here, so forgive me for that ball.
Speaker 1: But field position is going to be paramount in this game.
Speaker 1: I mean, anytime you talk about field position as well.
Speaker 1: Look to your special teams and they control field position
Speaker 1: where the other team starts their drives and where your
Speaker 1: team starts their drives. It's critical, and that's field position,
Speaker 1: and that is controlled by the transition teams. And we
Speaker 1: know the Arizona Cardinals are coming off maybe their work
Speaker 1: first game in the Jeff Rogers era as special teams
Speaker 1: coordinator that they've probably played. Right now, Jeff Rogers talking
Speaker 1: about a guy I got so much regard and respect
Speaker 1: for a guy that is an awesome special teams coach.
Speaker 1: He's not going to abide this very well. I expect
Speaker 1: the special teams to play a lot better. But then
Speaker 1: turnovers as well. Dictate where drives start, don't they, Paul
Speaker 1: and I can tell you that's where they need to win.
Speaker 1: This game is turning over. Jared Goff well, and that's
Speaker 1: where the Rams have lost recently. Goff has the ten
Speaker 1: turnovers in the last four games. And to the point
Speaker 1: where there's one thing that Sean mcvaan Cliff King's right,
Speaker 1: Probably several things they have in common, but one of
Speaker 1: them is Sean McVay never ever will cite a player
Speaker 1: and hoist any criticism to the media. Everything when it
Speaker 1: goes wrong is the fault to the head coach, except
Speaker 1: this past week when he said our quarterback needs to
Speaker 1: stop turning over the football. Yep, and Jared Goff heard
Speaker 1: it loud and clear, because it's probably the only time
Speaker 1: Sean McVay has ever named name in that regard. But
Speaker 1: it's very real, is it not. I mean, those who
Speaker 1: cover the Rams talk about he's not throwing it down
Speaker 1: field and they're settling for short passes in screens. I
Speaker 1: just don't see the Arizona Cardinals ripping off ten play drives,
Speaker 1: twelve play drives, fifteen play drives against his defense. I
Speaker 1: just do not see that this defense is elite. And
Speaker 1: if that's the case, man field position where they get
Speaker 1: the ball, turnovers, takeaways, this is gonna be huge. That's
Speaker 1: to me, that's how they beat the Rams. Turnover Jared Goff,
Speaker 1: You realize their number one ranks scoring defense, number two
Speaker 1: in total d They allow only four point four points
Speaker 1: per game in the second half this season. Think about that. Yeah, special.
