Here's Paul KELVC. Get the popcorn ready. 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:53.640 It's gonna be a show, and Ron will fleep. It 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:58.200 doesn't get any better than that horn. Unleash the fiard. 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:05.720 It comes to regular season NFL football games, It doesn't 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:11.360 get any better than last Sunday in Chicago. For one. 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.479 Ron Wolfley, you got that right, Polly. Let us count 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.199 the ways here, Bolf, Okay, you stop me when I'm wrong. 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:24.240 One the conditions, Yeah, wet Cole Windy, did I mention wet? 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.679 We're going to put that in the plus column. Long 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:32.160 slick grass right late, erasing a lot of that athleticism, 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:34.280 as you say, bringing everyone down to the level of 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:37.440 a wedgebusting fullback. Right, that's exactly right, boy, And never 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.360 forget this the blurt badge, of course, Paul. You know, 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:44.560 one part blood, two parts dirt. You mix it for 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:48.040 thirty seconds and let it stand on your jersey. Speaking 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:51.080 of two number two, you got to watch Jordan Hicks 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:54.560 do his Dick Bukus, Mike Singletary, Bryan or Lacker impression 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.840 at Soldier Field, your NFC defensive Player of the week. 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:01.960 Thirteen tackles, two sacks. Two tack was for loss number three. 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.840 And I might be burying the lead here play calling 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:10.560 thirty five runs versus a paltry fifteen passes. That was 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.200 a beautiful thing right there, Pauly, honestly, right now, are 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.320 you kidding me? We can be whatever we need to 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:17.920 be to win on that day, That's all I could 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:22.160 think of. Cliff Kingsbury said, that's the fewest attempted passes 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:25.280 by any game he's been involved in since flag football 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.720 in sixth grade. And he didn't crack a smile. I 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:32.800 think he was serious. And then and then, and this 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.680 might be in reverse order of importance, speaking to the 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.320 play caller. There he was when he was dialing up 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.760 all those runs and shunning the pass while, by the way, 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.799 wearing a hat with nineteen twenty on it. How fitting 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.240 was that, because that's where the game plan was circa 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:49.840 nineteen twenty. While he was doing all that in the 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:53.320 fourth quarter, he was spitting up blood as he was 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:56.080 spitting out the play calls. Honestly, right now, Pauly, I 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.359 just think that image right there, it's something I'm not 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:01.880 going to forget at anytime soon. I know you're not 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:06.840 going to either. Just the entire reputation of Cliff Kingsbury. 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.680 And then you go ahead and you juxtapose exactly what 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:13.840 you just said right there in this gloomy, rainy, drizzly, 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:20.320 freezing dirty day in Chicago, Illinois at Soldier Field, and 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:22.440 then all of a sudden, you've got your coach out 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:27.000 there and he's looking dogged. He's looking like a guy 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:30.880 that is out there in the rain, he's all wet, 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.720 and he's spitting blood. It doesn't get much better than that, Paul. 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.800 I'm just saying, so you can take your marquee Monday 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.600 night football matchup in the bright lights and the prime 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:43.040 time and the perfect field conditions and the climate control, 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.880 and it won't compare at least for Wolf to last. 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.360 Sunday in Chicago is our point as we start the 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:52.160 Big Red Rage featuring DJ Humphries tonight. How good does 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.960 it sound right when we say DJ Humphries is back 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.040 in the Big Red Rage where he belongs. How about that? 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.480 It's fantastic, Pouli, It really is. He's one of my 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:01.600 favorite it's in the thing that makes him one of 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.760 my favorites is he plays the game the way that 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:06.800 it should be played. It doesn't mean he goes out 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.440 and he's perfect. It doesn't mean that he never gets beat. 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.600 It doesn't mean that he's always doing his job. It 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.640 just means you better believe he's brawling you all the 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.440 way down to the grass. That's what he is. He's 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:21.360 a dog through and through. One of my favorite players. 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.840 By the way, remind me to ask him. It was 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:27.080 a moment in the second half and he got dinged 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:28.840 up a little bit, a little bit, and he was 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:30.839 slow getting up and he came to the sideline and 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.800 they actually called a time out so he didn't miss 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:37.000 a snap. And I think that was at the best 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.400 of his quarterback. I don't think Kyler Murray had any 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:43.159 interest in taking a single snap minus his franchise left 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:47.080 tackle Dj Humphreys. I'm gonna ask Dj about that right 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.240 after we hear from Kyler Murray on his return and 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.640 what he told Fox Sports on the field after the 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.560 win in Chicago. I was a little rusty, you know, 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.160 obviously the weather conditions, you know, didn't really help as much. 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.200 But proud of the team. Nfel good to be back 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.640 with these guys, offensive, defensive, special teams and collective. You know, 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:05.320 we'll play compl Murry football. And it was, like I said, 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:06.839 it was going to be back. So we had two 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:11.000 passing touchdowns, he had two rushing touchdowns. And this is 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:14.520 the most ridiculous stat to me, eleven completions in his 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:20.839 fifteen attempts to eight different receivers. Unbelievable. Polly still spreading 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.440 the ball, and that is a common theme. We have 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.960 seen that all season long, that Kyler Murray was going 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.320 to go out and spread the ball. It was something 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:31.080 we were really talking about early in the season in 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.520 the first half of the season, the way Kyler Murray 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:37.839 went out and spread the ball even in that cold, 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:42.760 drizzly day at Soldier Field. To your point, eleven passes 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.840 completed to eight different guys. Man, I listen, you know 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.440 what I also love Polly. Just listen to the tone 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.240 in his voice after the game when talking about the game. 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.560 Is he down in the dumps that he only got 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.760 one hundred and twenty three yards passing? Is he down 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.640 in the dumps that he only completed eleven passes? Man, 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:06.760 he's happy, he's content. It's all about winning with Kyler Murray. 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:08.839 And that's what I love and appreciate about the kid. 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.680 You're talking about a guy who right now leads the 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:16.520 NFL in completion percentage and passer rating well, and you 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:19.560 still have to worry about his legs. In fact, Cliff Kingsbury, 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:23.040 just because Wolf did we not site during the radio broadcast, Like, man, 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:26.839 he's got some acceleration. Those legs do look fresh. And 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.960 here's what Cliff Kingsbury said about that. When he's feeling 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:31.680 it like that and using those legs, I mean, I 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.240 think he's the most dangerous weapon in the NFL. And 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.000 we's got to get him back comfortable, get him back 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.160 in a rhythm and get a try and play at 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.640 really high, high level of the remainder of the season. 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:44.880 The most dangerous weapon in the NFL period. That's what 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.600 Cliff Kingsbury told us in the postgame radio interview after 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.279 Kyler Murray and the Cardinals went out fifth straight game 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.960 on the road, by the way, no turnovers, Yeah, Polly, 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:57.000 no turnovers. That is just unthinkable to me. Five straight 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.480 games on the road. You do not turn the ball 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:01.240 or Polly, You're you're not going to lose a lot 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.640 of games when you've got Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins, when 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.400 you have the talent the Arizona Cardinals have. If you 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:09.600 had to look at one stat if they don't turn 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.640 the ball over, they're not going to lose a lot 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.480 of games. That's that's not going to happen. And I 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.000 just want to say this about Kyler Murray as well. 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:20.280 You were talking about the highest completion percentage in the 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:23.960 National Football League, the highest passer rating quarterback ratings is 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:26.760 what I call it in the National Football League. But 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.600 you know what else, he's got the best yards per 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:33.360 attempt in the National Football League. Is that a big deal? Seriously? 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:35.360 Is that a big deal to you? Yes, it is 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.400 a big deal because he's got the highest completion percentage 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:42.160 and yet he's throwing the ball. It is yards per attempt. 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:44.760 It means he's pushing the ball down the field. He's 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.520 not just thinking and dunk in his way. It matters 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:51.080 to me, Yes, you're right when you pair those two together, Yes, 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:55.239 that is significant. The highest completion percentage and the highest 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.320 yards per attempt correct, I mean Paulli. It just it 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.000 speaks so much to who Kyle La Murray is. And 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:04.280 and once again, the development of this young man into 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:08.040 a franchise quarterback where we have seen him beat teams 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:12.080 with his brain, not just his legs, not just his arm, 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:16.000 his brain. We've seen it, We've witnessed it, and he's 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.240 only developing and growing and getting better. Don't make me 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.480 say it again. Come for the arms, stay for the legs. 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.960 Fear the mind is where Kyler Murray is right now. 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:28.040 He met the media today, and you know what, there 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.840 is one box left to check. The Arizona Cardinals are 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.800 ten and two on the season. They are seven and 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:35.760 o on the road, they are four and oh in 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:39.280 the division, but they are just three and two at home. 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.679 Here's Kyler. I think that has to be you know 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:44.439 different than it has been. But you know, you look 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.920 at our record underfield the road, three and two at home. 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:51.760 Closer games have been at home, starts slow at home. Yeah, 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:53.280 there's a lot of things we talked about at home 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:55.679 that we don't do on the road. So I think we, 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:59.079 like you said, we got to somehow bring that type 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:02.120 of energy. It's got to be different because what we've 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:05.440 been doing hasn't a working. Every player this week has 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.960 brought up the home record and I'm guessing that's because 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.439 the head coach has brought up the home record and 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:14.080 some lackluster performances. Yeah, we know there's something wrong there. 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:17.120 We know there's no denying it. You play so much 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.560 better on the road than you play at home. Each 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.319 player's got to look inside of himself and say, why 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:24.880 is that? For me? Paul, I think it's because they 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:26.920 have so much talent. They have so much talent on 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.440 this team. I've talked about it many many times, and 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:31.680 I think a lot of times when you're at home, 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:35.040 it says, man, we're really talented, we're really good. We're 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:39.720 sitting here at ten and two. All is well, All 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:41.240 is well. You don't have to go out there and 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:46.280 be desperate to get away, right, Paul all Is well, 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:50.440 I think I think again, Roy Green did not have 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:54.000 to be He did not have to be prepared to 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:57.120 do his job the way I had to be prepared 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:00.240 to do my job. Because Roy was so talented. He 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.360 could be laughing at you as he ran by you 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:06.280 for the third time that day, scoring yet another touchdown. 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.440 That was how good he was. But again, I think 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:11.559 they have to be intentional about it. And that's why 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.720 I like what Kyler Murray just said. We've got He's 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.400 acknowledging the fact that there's a problem. Now all of 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:20.719 a sudden, you have the opportunity to overcome that problem. 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:24.199 We'll see if DJ Humphreys has a theory, right. I mean, 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:27.880 he's very by his own admission, you know, he's great 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.440 at the power of observations. So we'll see if maybe 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:33.319 he's gleaned something about the Cardinals at home. He is 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.400 up next episode ten of Cardinals Folk Tales, entitled nine 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.840 More available now in the Cardinals YouTube channel YouTube dot com. 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:43.160 Slash Asy Cardinals the story of former Cardinal safety Rashad 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.240 Johnson losing the tip of his finger during that game 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.280 in twenty thirteen while and You can also check out 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.600 the original podcast by searching Cardinals Folk Tales wherever you 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:54.960 get your podcast.

He 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.520 runs at the five and he heads to the corner 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.839 and he's into the end zone. Four the touchdown. Kyler back, 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.000 the'll throw fire's right side, want to catch by more 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.520 at that's twenty, runs right to the ten of the five. 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:37.360 It's Connor actually into the end zone. Four the touchdown. 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:41.440 James Connor stabbing a ball that was an errand pass. 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:43.480 It looked like it was going to go over his head. 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.080 He grabbed it with his left hand and then he 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.920 ran down the right sideline into the end zone for 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:52.079 the touchdown. And the Cardinals lead at twenty to seven. 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.360 Snap to Murray, he keeps it again, runs right, he's 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.079 at the five, and he walks into the end zone 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.880 four his second rushing touchdown, and the Cardinals just put 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:06.640 the Bears away. You know what's complimentary football, Ron Wolfley, 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:11.360 when your defense has four takeaways and that results in 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:15.080 three touchdowns and a field goal. And it gets even 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.400 better because if you take those drives and the three 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:20.280 touchdowns in a field goal, it was a total yardage 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:24.680 of seventy six yards to go ahead and accomplish the 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:28.240 three touchdowns and the field goal by a Cardinals offense, 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.720 though right now, is the number three scoring offense in 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.280 the NFL Top ten and total offense top ten and 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:39.440 rushing and number two in rushing touchdowns. And I know 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:43.600 someone who likes the sound of that stat The longest 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:47.800 tenured Arizona Cardinal on this roster and the former player 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:51.680 host of The Big Red Rage None then DJ Humphreys 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.559 joint us Dach how are we doing, hey man, I'm 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:56.760 doing good man. I appreciate that having me back. Man, 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:59.120 it's been a while. Yeah, it's been a while. DJ 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.520 No dona at that man, Thank you so much for 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:05.280 joining us. Really to appreciate that, my goodness, tennant two 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:11.480 brother ten two has got to feel so right. Oh yeah, 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:14.520 it feels good, man. I'll be lying if I said it, Dude. 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:17.240 I feel like I feel like, if you've been a fan, 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:19.840 or if you've been around for a while, we deserve 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:24.880 we deserve this one. What's most gratifying about it When 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:26.840 you say been around a while, do you go back 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:28.880 to some of those early years, you know, your first 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:30.880 few years in the league. Is that what you think 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:36.400 of automatically? Yeah, I think I think of when I 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.280 came into the league, you know, going to the NFC 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.880 Championship as a rookie and not playing. It made me 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:44.480 feel like, yeah, this is like what you do. Like 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:46.320 you can just go to the playoffs and like every 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.079 year you have a chance to win the Super Bowl. 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:52.720 So like I was fooled to think that that's just 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:54.480 what happens and it doesn't take hard work and it 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:57.720 doesn't take building and stuff like that. So to be 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.360 here at this point where where we have we're two 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:02.080 to two and we have so much, you know, then 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:03.840 we have everything that we want is right in front 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.719 of us. It feels good to be have been here 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.760 over the last few years and seeing what things, how 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:11.480 we evolved in what we are now. DJ, you got 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:13.760 bumped up, nicked up a little bit. I'm sure you 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.800 got nicked up before earlier in the season. You're never 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.840 feeling like you're one hundred percent at this point of 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:23.120 the season. But how does the body feel overall here 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:27.200 in December? You know, it's funny, my body feels really good. 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:29.360 I joke around. I took you a lot of times that, man, 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:33.400 I really see twenty seven. Now, how old are you? Well, 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:35.560 so you feel that was that? Now I'm a football player. 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.160 You know we had a dog year, So that's a 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:41.120 good point. It's right now. You know, hey, when you 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:42.920 got when you were a little slow to get up 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.840 and you came to the sideline, Cliff Kingsbury called a 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:48.920 time out. And this is just my observation. Now, you're 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.680 the expert at the power of observation, Dee, and you 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.160 talk about your powers are going to Walmart and so forth, 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.160 and people watching, But but this is just me. It 0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.840 didn't look like your quarterback wanted any part of the 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.960 even a single snap without his franchise left tackle. That 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.880 was my take. What do you think, hey, you said that, 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:09.880 not me. Remember remember that Polly said that it wasn't 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:13.200 me that said that. Which part are you talking about? 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:16.600 The Walmart part or the part of my bag the quarterback? 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:23.120 But the Walmart was all me I take. By the way, 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:25.880 speaking of shopping, uh, you know we buried the lead here. 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:27.320 What do the kids want? I mean, come on, what 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.120 do the kids want? What are you shopping for? What's 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.440 the big item for the kids this holiday season? They're 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:37.640 both getting cold, both of them getting cold, But not 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.040 because that not because they've been bad. Just sold them 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:42.440 because I'm not getting them anything for Christmas. There they 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:45.480 just they need. I may take them somewhere and we 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:47.520 give back to something for Christmas. No, I'm kidding now, 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:50.960 I'll probably get them something. I know. My daughter and 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:52.920 my son both they've been they've been on my head 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:57.320 about a place set they want to play. Oh yeah, 0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:59.840 something that you could join in on right home plat 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:03.800 maybe a little break out. I don't know. Does it 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:07.400 does it support a three hundred pounder? Yeah? Yeah, better. 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.000 That's the only way I can get in my backyard. 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.480 If it's supports, if it's old live friendly, that's only 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:13.840 way I can make it in my backyard. Listen, guy's 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.600 got to be able to turning out the slide team. Now, Yeah, 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:20.320 talk to me about your season personally. I'm talking about 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:22.880 not the team, not the unit. I'm talking about you 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:26.120 personally right now. How is the season going for you? 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.560 How are you developing, how are you growing? How are 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:32.480 you getting better? I feel like it's it's been, Uh, 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:35.040 it's been going pretty good for mans. I feel like 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:36.920 I had some els and flows earlier on, just kind 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:38.920 of trying to get my foot in under myself and 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:41.880 trying to feel things out. But none of the things 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:44.080 I've been kind of going on, I feel like I've 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:47.000 been getting better and better every week. I feel like 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:49.120 I've been getting better and better every week and every 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:52.560 week and finding something my technique is is sinking in 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:54.920 and it's feeling it's feeling like myself more and more 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:56.720 every week. And I feel like that's a good feeling 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:58.720 with the jiujectory that we're going at, you know what 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:00.280 I mean, Still being able to go out to get 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:03.640 these wins and play and play well and still feel 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.040 like I can approve, I can improve and there's more 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:07.600 that I can be doing and I can be doing better. 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:09.960 I feel like that's a good that's a good sign 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:12.520 for for what we're going as a team. I mean, 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:16.200 there have been eight different starting old line combinations, but 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:18.800 you have been the rock. You have been the constant. 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:22.080 I mean that's pretty impressive, right, I mean, you guys 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:24.680 have a deep old line room. When you've been able 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:27.440 to change parts out and boom, this team is still 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:32.520 ten and two. Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's it's unlike 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.040 anything I've ever been a part of UM. I think 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:36.920 anybody that's a fan out of the Cardinals or a a 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:40.119 better part of this organization. You know, Historically, when we 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:42.800 lose key pieces of our offensive line, that's usually the 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:46.080 turning point of our season. And that's been the case 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:49.199 every year that I've been here. I would say I 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.800 think that every year where we've had major injuries go on, 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:54.480 or guys miss a lot of time up front, or 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:57.160 even even key players aside from the offensive line, we've 0:17:57.240 --> 0:17:59.879 we've that's been kind of the turning point in our season. 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:02.840 And for us to have that go on so many 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:05.080 different times and so many different ways and wrinkles and 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:07.520 still be able to be on this side of to 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:10.719 be on this side of the standing in the NFL. 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:14.040 It's definitely a testament to what's been going on. And 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:18.000 I did hump you are the number two run rate 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:22.400 team in the National Football League. I just by the way, 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:25.600 wolf one, I confirm that. I didn't believe you. So 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:29.160 I actually confirm that with Cardinals media relations that the 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:32.440 run rate percentage for the Arizona Cardinals is number two 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:34.720 in the NFL. That's just a mind blow. What do 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.280 you think about that day? Would I say that, man, 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:40.280 you're number two? So much for the pretty boy football. 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:42.440 That's exactly what I was just about to say. I 0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:46.280 was saying, many ball right, Yeah, but did you take 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:48.600 that to heart? Did you guys take that to heart? 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:51.960 How proud are you on the offensive line, man, that 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:55.480 you are the number two run rate team in the 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:59.720 NFL coming off the ball with a dark heart? I 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:02.240 have to take take that. I think that's a big deal. 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:06.080 That's something that's very important to me. Uh, running that ball, man, 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:08.400 it changes the game. It's something that I didn't really 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:10.920 understand as young player, like you know, and just kind 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:12.440 of like just called the plays and we just run 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.240 the plays. You know, That's how it was like now 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:17.960 kind of learning the game and learning how players change 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:21.000 and how how running the ball and deter guys from 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:24.080 one to even be involved in the game. Like, it's crazy, 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:26.560 how how big of a difference maker it is what 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:31.159 we're doing it, and we're doing it high efficiency. So, uh, 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:35.560 to even hear those numbers again is news? Tobody Well 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:38.479 speaking a run game and difference maker and numbers. How 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:43.960 about James Connor fourteen total touchdowns, a dozen rushing touchdowns 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:46.639 what he calls bowling ball. I know what, you guys 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:49.840 embrace up front and and then you had to catching 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:53.200 the run, the one ended grab and uh. We asked 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.479 Cliff Kingsbury about that after the game, and here's what 0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:58.840 he said about James Connor. That's got to be Sports 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:01.560 Center Player of the Week, right, that was unbelievable. Catches 0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:03.480 in one hand, he breaks a tack on then goes 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:04.960 for a touchdown. Me and I had to run down 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:06.880 there and get my hug because I'm like, that is insane. 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:10.239 You know, a third down too. So he's been just 0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:13.400 a god send for us, especially with Chase out being 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:15.919 able to shoulder the load like he has offensively. He 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:19.639 just continues to get better and better. We see James Connor, 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:21.840 what don't we see what don't we hear in the 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:24.960 huddle and on the sideline, Because I mean he said, 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:27.280 you know what, if my mindset is contagious, so be it. 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:31.240 But from what I could tell, guys really feed off him. Man, 0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:34.120 it's it's it's one of those things that it's hard 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:36.680 not to feed off of. Like he gets in this 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:39.720 mold where he gets just looks on his face and 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:42.120 you could tell he just wants to just just run 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:45.520 his face into somebody else's Like it's the craziest thing. 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:47.600 But it's one of those things that, like you said, 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:49.639
