0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>and have the last word. Tonight. There is zero chance

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:17.959
<v Speaker 1>that Wolf will cut off any of my brilliant takes.

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Paulli piskin here this evening, just like there's zero chance

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.399
<v Speaker 1>that Wolf will be allowed to go on some five

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 1>minutes soliloquy, waxing, poetic about Devonte Wyatt or maybe twelve

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:32.759
<v Speaker 1>percent ALB zero chance or getting under center zero chance

0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 1>that we're gonna fail, that we're gonna fail. Yes, I'm

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:40.319
<v Speaker 1>calling my shot that we're gonna fail to put the

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 1>big into Big Red Rage tonight. Because our big time

0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 1>guests none other than a seven time Pro Bowl receiver

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>by the name of AJ Green. Here on the Big

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert We are

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Santan Ford, Paul Calvci here, Ron Wolfley there. You know what,

0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Paul cannot wait for that once again. And because Aj

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Green and the ability, I know you had the opportunity

0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 1>to talk to him a little bit earlier in the day.

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.240
<v Speaker 1>But Aj Green, this is going to be a situation,

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Paul where the Arizona Cardinals. It's interesting they love their

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>free agency from a year ago so much they're doubling

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 1>down on it once again. And to me, Paul, that

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.519
<v Speaker 1>is an admission by them that they believe the ten

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 1>in two was real. Yeah. I mean they're saying it

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:31.200
<v Speaker 1>with the check book, They're saying it with the roster moves.

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 1>They're saying that whatever was illen and ail in this

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.640
<v Speaker 1>team over the last six weeks of the season when

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.920
<v Speaker 1>they lost five of their final six, including the playoff

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.919
<v Speaker 1>loss at the Rams. Is correctable? Is something we can

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 1>do something about. That's essentially what they're saying. You're right

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:48.400
<v Speaker 1>when you hit zoom out and you look at the

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.840
<v Speaker 1>big picture on the big red and it'll be interesting

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 1>because Aj Green, we had a chance, you know, at

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.200
<v Speaker 1>length to discuss a lot of these issues. He talks

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:58.680
<v Speaker 1>about Kyler Murray, he talks about his chemistry or lack

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.639
<v Speaker 1>thereof with Kyler Murray. He's very forthright. He's much more

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.079
<v Speaker 1>honest in this setting. We had more time to deal

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.320
<v Speaker 1>with it than he did with the media via zoom

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.240
<v Speaker 1>earlier in the week. So that's straight ahead. But I

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 1>mentioned the quote zero chance, and we mentioned Kyler Murray

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 1>because Steve Kim and Cliff Kingsbury met the media today.

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:18.079
<v Speaker 1>As you know, Ron Wolf Lean, well, we'll just get

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 1>right to it. Ken Summers, longtime Cardinals reporter and local columnists,

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 1>was the one who asked the question of the Cardinals GM,

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.280
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of speculation out there in the possibility

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 1>of you guys trading Kyler you can do can you

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:35.240
<v Speaker 1>rule that out? Zero chance? Do you believe it Rono. Yes,

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 1>you know what I do, Bully, I do because of

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 1>how definitive he said that. Now you know, once again

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>I understand things can change and do change down the road.

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, he said it so definitively, Paul, and with

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 1>no follow up whatsoever. I think that was it was

0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 1>done on purpose by Steve Kim, and I think it

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 1>points to where the Arizona Ardinals are headed on this,

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 1>which means at some point in time after the draft,

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 1>probably not before, but after the draft, there's going to

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>be an extension of Kyler Murray because tis the season

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 1>for smoke screens. We know what this is all about.

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.799
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people correctly pointed out there were similar

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.840
<v Speaker 1>comments made leading up to the twenty nineteen draft about

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Josh Rosen when Kyler Murray was a number one pick.

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 1>Now the circumstances are completely different this time around. Correct

0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 1>A lot of obvious reasons we don't have to get into.

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.839
<v Speaker 1>But and I'm with you, I do believe it. I mean, honestly,

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:39.000
<v Speaker 1>what are the alternatives? What are the alternatives? If Kyler

0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Murray's in your quarterback, even if you get a Mondo

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Draft Hall el Grande, Yeah, then what you're automatically back

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 1>in QB purgatory. You're right where you've been in between

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Kurt Warner and Carson Palmer, and Carson Palmer and Kyler Murray.

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.000
<v Speaker 1>You're looking for that next guy, and there's no guarantee

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:56.920
<v Speaker 1>no matter how many picks you have, that you're gonna

0:04:56.960 --> 0:05:00.320
<v Speaker 1>find the right guy. So once again, paul I'll cotinue

0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.719
<v Speaker 1>to talk about the fact that the Cardinals, instead of

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:07.839
<v Speaker 1>being aggressive in free agency, they decided to be aggressive

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 1>in pursuing their own guys and the possibility of winning

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 1>games with their own guys all over again, which tells

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:20.200
<v Speaker 1>me they think they have something. To your point, Paulie,

0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 1>they think they have something that is fixable, completely fixable

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:27.760
<v Speaker 1>the way they've finished the last two seasons. And by

0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:30.479
<v Speaker 1>the way, Michael Biddwell, team owner, to Ken Summers as

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.159
<v Speaker 1>well on the potential that there might be a Kyler

0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:36.919
<v Speaker 1>Murray trade, and we're quoting Michael Biddwell quote, Yeah, that's

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.799
<v Speaker 1>not happening. There's just too much outside noise of people

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 1>listen to. We understand that's just part of what goes

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:45.479
<v Speaker 1>on these days with social media. It's just not the case.

0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.880
<v Speaker 1>And your point about the timeline and We've talked about

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:50.920
<v Speaker 1>this for two three months now here on the Big

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Red Rage, have we not how the other six quarterbacks

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.400
<v Speaker 1>after year three who got their contract extensions, if you

0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 1>go back, every one of them was in June, July, August,

0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:04.000
<v Speaker 1>or September, and Steve Kime he doubled down on that.

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.240
<v Speaker 1>The way we've approached it is we have free agency,

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.720
<v Speaker 1>we have the draft, and then you know, we'll take

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.280
<v Speaker 1>a deep breath and sort of refocus. And that's the

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.560
<v Speaker 1>same reason that every other player that's been a third

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.360
<v Speaker 1>year quarterback has been done in the middle of the

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.919
<v Speaker 1>summer to late summer, and it's just sort of the

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:23.280
<v Speaker 1>way that the system works. But nothing has changed in

0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.400
<v Speaker 1>terms of him being our long term and short term quarterback.

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Steve Kime did verify with the media that he has

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:34.520
<v Speaker 1>spoken recently to Team Kyler about a contract. So, you know,

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:38.040
<v Speaker 1>considering the comments made and just sort of the vibe

0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 1>at today's press comments and then you take into account

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Kyler's tweets and you wonder, Wolf if there has not

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:47.920
<v Speaker 1>been some significant progress in forward momentum to getting that

0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 1>deal done. Well, you know what you just said up

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Ali right there. The reason why I think I'm going

0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.680
<v Speaker 1>to put this in the positive column in a big,

0:06:55.680 --> 0:07:00.680
<v Speaker 1>big way. It's because of kylermur restweets. I'm sorry, hey, listen,

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 1>nobody's ever going to be able to convince me the

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.719
<v Speaker 1>social media thing wasn't a thing, right, Oh, it was

0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 1>a thing. I'm just saying. He scrubbed it and suddenly, um,

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.080
<v Speaker 1>you know what, there was an all caps letter that

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.600
<v Speaker 1>was sent out as well. You know, I mean, listen, Um,

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:20.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we're naive or or stupid here. So

0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.440
<v Speaker 1>once again, it was a thing, and Kyler Murray has

0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 1>used it in the way that he used Twitter. I

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:31.680
<v Speaker 1>absolutely loved because he was supporting him being in Arizona

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Cardinal in twenty twenty two and going forward and being committed.

0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.520
<v Speaker 1>And there were basically three tweets today from Kyler Murray

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 1>and two in response. One late in the day was

0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Ian Rappaport and he tweeted out that quote from Steve

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Kimes zero chance for trading Kyler Murray. Kyler Murray's response

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 1>via Twitter was one hundred as in one hundred percent,

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 1>as you know. And then then there was Kyler in

0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:58.720
<v Speaker 1>response to the Patrick Peterson podcast that featured Chase Edmonds

0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 1>and in some shade throne by Pat pe not the

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:06.520
<v Speaker 1>first time towards his former team. Kyler's response and I quote,

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 1>I want to win Super Bowls with the Cardinals. A

0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Z is home and tweet Kyler Murray. Paully. That was

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.400
<v Speaker 1>intentional that much we do know, right, I mean, that

0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:19.120
<v Speaker 1>was an intentional act right there by Kyler Murray to

0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 1>support his team. And again I'm going to put that

0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:25.720
<v Speaker 1>in the positive column and expect and make make me

0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 1>think that a deal is going to get done, and

0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 1>it's going to get done after the draft. And then

0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:34.160
<v Speaker 1>the third tweet was in response to Colin Cowherd, and

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Cowherd was on this rant and there was a graphic

0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:40.680
<v Speaker 1>on his TV show that read and I quote Kyler

0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.720
<v Speaker 1>is harder to build a culture around. That's all it's said, right,

0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 1>And then and then he was comparing Kyler doing Aaron

0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Rodgers and guys who do their own thing, and Kyler's

0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.480
<v Speaker 1>reply via Twitter was and I quote, run whatever narratives

0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:58.560
<v Speaker 1>y'all want to run, but questioning my work ethic. I'm

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.719
<v Speaker 1>not going for that. Stop playing with me, Colin. I

0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 1>still rock with you, but come on and tweet Kyler Murray. Yeah,

0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:07.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, just the fact he is

0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.960
<v Speaker 1>engaging at what is going on and being set out

0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:13.200
<v Speaker 1>there instead of the sound of silence, I think is

0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.839
<v Speaker 1>a positive, don't you, Bully? Absolutely? I mean the fact

0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:20.839
<v Speaker 1>that you know he's a the fact that he's actually

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.680
<v Speaker 1>acknowledging that he's part of the Cardinal's future, which to

0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 1>your point when he scrubbed the instagram right when there's

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 1>no tracer, barely a trace of the team he played for.

0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 1>So now at least you have he's commenting basically and

0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.440
<v Speaker 1>having a future with the team, and we get it.

0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:37.480
<v Speaker 1>It's a whole part of the contract process, in the

0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:41.199
<v Speaker 1>back and forth and the negotiations, and there's a realization

0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I think on Kyler's part that he has a great

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.480
<v Speaker 1>fit with the offense and the head coach, does he

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 1>not no doubt? And then the GM, right, I mean,

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:52.360
<v Speaker 1>and this is me, this is Steve Kyme. Listen to

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Steve Kiman what he had to say about having a

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:57.439
<v Speaker 1>franchise quarterback that was a decent GM when Carson Palmer

0:09:57.520 --> 0:09:59.960
<v Speaker 1>was our quarterback when he retired, I wasn't very good.

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I am smart enough to know that Kyler Murray makes

0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.560
<v Speaker 1>me a better GM. So he you know again, we

0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:07.800
<v Speaker 1>took him with the first overall pick. We love him.

0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.200
<v Speaker 1>The guys continue to improve. He's made us a better

0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 1>football team, so we were excited about his future. How

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:14.720
<v Speaker 1>many times does Steve Kim tell us on this very

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 1>show that pre Kyler Murray, every single day he would

0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.559
<v Speaker 1>wake up and think to himself, how and where am

0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I getting a franchise quarterback? Yes Na, that's right, Bali,

0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:25.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean that is a problem right there. But to

0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.720
<v Speaker 1>his point, Steve Kim, after how many times has he

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.640
<v Speaker 1>won the NFL Executive of the Year award twice? Paul

0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:37.440
<v Speaker 1>as a matter of fact, and it's laughable when you

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:39.640
<v Speaker 1>talk about Steve Kim in the way that a lot

0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:42.679
<v Speaker 1>of people out there don't want Steve Kim to be

0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.680
<v Speaker 1>the general manager for the Arizona Cardinal. I'm sorry. You

0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.440
<v Speaker 1>know what, you built a team, a playoff team, a

0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:53.000
<v Speaker 1>playoff caliber team, not once but twice. And I realized

0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:54.680
<v Speaker 1>you could say, well that was over the course of

0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:56.839
<v Speaker 1>nine years and everything, Well, you know what, a lot

0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.719
<v Speaker 1>of times you're finding a quarterback that you're going to

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:05.880
<v Speaker 1>with three four years, and Steve Kim found two different

0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:09.480
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks and built two different teams that actually went to

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.880
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. And by the undeniable yes, and by the way,

0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.040
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't that go for every single GM. I mean

0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Jason Light before Tom Brady, the Buccaneers are on a

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 1>twelve year run of no playoff appearances. What were the

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Buccaneers gonna look like this year minus Tom Brady until

0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:29.080
<v Speaker 1>he unretired and came back, right, Yeah, I mean Light too, sure,

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.400
<v Speaker 1>and he's not. Look at John Schneider up in Seattle.

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Look at his last six or seven draft classes or

0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.440
<v Speaker 1>lack thereof, and then they got rid of Russell Wilson.

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:43.480
<v Speaker 1>Good luck the last place Seahawks on that one. So okay,

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 1>if they're tracking and trending towards a contract extension, what

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 1>does that mean for Kyler Murray? Now that the offseason

0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.959
<v Speaker 1>activities began officially this week, Will Cliff Kingsbury was at

0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.560
<v Speaker 1>the press conference and he was asked that question. You know,

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.320
<v Speaker 1>we understand it's voluntary at this point. Um, I do

0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.800
<v Speaker 1>expect him here at some point, but I think if

0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.320
<v Speaker 1>you any coach, we'd all want them here a lot

0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:04.079
<v Speaker 1>more than we get them. But that's part of the CBA,

0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:07.280
<v Speaker 1>and they're all professionals. In hand of their business. All right,

0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.200
<v Speaker 1>So this week, you know, well, if it's weight room

0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.880
<v Speaker 1>work and it's you know, some conditioning out on the field,

0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.840
<v Speaker 1>there's no actual football going on. But I will say

0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.960
<v Speaker 1>and and AJ Green, we ask AJ Green about it

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 1>coming up here in a matter of moments on the

0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert that

0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:24.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, if one of the keys of this offense

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:26.959
<v Speaker 1>is getting the receivers on the same page with the

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 1>quarterback and developing greater chemistry in the passing game and

0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.960
<v Speaker 1>that connection and everyone being in sync, and especially when

0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:34.440
<v Speaker 1>the game's on the line, you know what. To me,

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:38.640
<v Speaker 1>these off season activities are important when it comes to football. Yeah,

0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:40.400
<v Speaker 1>and I don't I don't care if it's on air.

0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:42.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't care if it's seven on seven. I don't

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:43.920
<v Speaker 1>care if it's just the offense before they can even

0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.959
<v Speaker 1>go against the defense, Kyler throwing a receiver who's got

0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:48.440
<v Speaker 1>to be in the right spot at the right time

0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 1>and get that precision in the passing game that matters. Yeah,

0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.960
<v Speaker 1>I know you're absolutely right about that, Paulie, But you know,

0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:56.320
<v Speaker 1>can I just also throw in the fact that I

0:12:56.400 --> 0:13:00.920
<v Speaker 1>think even strength and conditioning matters I do. I'm sorry, Listen,

0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.760
<v Speaker 1>this is when you get a great opportunity to work

0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:07.199
<v Speaker 1>out with your teammate, Paul. You get a great opportunity

0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:11.240
<v Speaker 1>to get to know relationally your teammate better than you

0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.040
<v Speaker 1>will when you actually go into the regular season. And

0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:17.160
<v Speaker 1>the reason being, of course, the regular season, Paul, there's

0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:21.080
<v Speaker 1>so much structure, there's so much order, there's so much stress.

0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:25.440
<v Speaker 1>It's a get to now do everything now, check ABCD

0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:29.960
<v Speaker 1>all the boxes. Now. You're more split up than you

0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:32.400
<v Speaker 1>are in the off season. Of course, where you don't,

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.559
<v Speaker 1>you don't have this rigid schedule all day. Look, Polly,

0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I used to love it. I used to love going

0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:41.280
<v Speaker 1>in and working out with my brothers, whether it was

0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:43.440
<v Speaker 1>running out on the field, Paul, whether it was in

0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.360
<v Speaker 1>the weight room thrown around. So I don't want to

0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.800
<v Speaker 1>say that's not important, because I think that's where you

0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:53.640
<v Speaker 1>really build a lot of relationships as well. But look

0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.679
<v Speaker 1>across the NFL, man, there's not a lot of guys

0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 1>that are showing up for strength and conditioning, and hey,

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.240
<v Speaker 1>push each other, right, I mean, guys push each other.

0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.360
<v Speaker 1>And you have the NFL Strength Coach of the Year

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.640
<v Speaker 1>and Buddy Morris, So what's not to like? Right? Cut

0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:11.040
<v Speaker 1>the sleeves off now, just like the Draft Weekend Country

0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:15.439
<v Speaker 1>Concert presented by Zek featuring Ryan Hurd Lanco Callista Clark.

<v Speaker 1>the quarterback in chemistry, The Big Red Rage presented by

0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:41.520
<v Speaker 1>Santan four in Gilbert. Let's start that off as Bruce

0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.240
<v Speaker 1>arians at, I'm talking about that at Murray and shotgun

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.440
<v Speaker 1>snapped to Kyler at the town A little short set.

0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:48.640
<v Speaker 1>So I did that short set a little bit now,

0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.200
<v Speaker 1>throwing deep fireside and is pulled in into five yard

0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:52.880
<v Speaker 1>All right, hold on, I gotta grab myself a crown

0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.400
<v Speaker 1>row here. I have a little sippet debate, little sipp

0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 1>at debate detas new NIPPERU finished the college, Jack Nicholson,

0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:05.560
<v Speaker 1>A Jay Green just too strong, too big, too athletic.

0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.840
<v Speaker 1>To Tracy Morgan, I want a great read by Kyler

0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Murray to throw the ball, Say it as Morgan Freeman,

0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:15.320
<v Speaker 1>What a great read by Kyler Murray to throw the ball.

0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.720
<v Speaker 1>You've got a scarecrow on a stick. Put it out there,

0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:22.520
<v Speaker 1>let him go get it. That's exactly what A J.

0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Green did. Can you do it as Liam Neeson? Want

0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.560
<v Speaker 1>a great read by Kyler Murray? To throw the ball.

0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:33.960
<v Speaker 1>You've got a scarecrow on a stick. Put it out there,

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.840
<v Speaker 1>let him go get it. That's exactly what A J.

0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Green did. The unmistakable Frank Caliendo the mind the voices

0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.800
<v Speaker 1>of only one Frank Callie ido on the passpot recently

0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:53.200
<v Speaker 1>as he recreated in the different voices the AJ Green

0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:56.840
<v Speaker 1>forty one yard touchdown catch against the La Rams week four,

0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.840
<v Speaker 1>and now we have the real AJ Green in studio

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:01.920
<v Speaker 1>here and the big red rage. Your reaction just to

0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:07.080
<v Speaker 1>hearing all the voices recreate that call man, he's very talented.

0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.200
<v Speaker 1>He's sounded just like them. Never heard anything that good

0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>that he's can do. Each person like that so well.

0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:17.320
<v Speaker 1>So as he's very talented guy, what's all good for

0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:20.160
<v Speaker 1>you right now? Wires on him? Why year two with

0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:23.120
<v Speaker 1>the Cardinals? I think if you look at my year

0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:25.680
<v Speaker 1>last year, you know I had a productive year, and

0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:27.320
<v Speaker 1>I feel like my second year was going to be

0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:31.320
<v Speaker 1>even more productive. You know, had other offers in different

0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:34.360
<v Speaker 1>places in one to me, but I made a decision

0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:36.960
<v Speaker 1>that what fits me well. I didn't not divedn't have

0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:38.760
<v Speaker 1>to start over. I know what the coaches like, I

0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.480
<v Speaker 1>know the culture here, I know what they envisioned me

0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 1>going to be coming into this year like I was

0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:47.040
<v Speaker 1>last year. So for me, it just not all about

0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:50.240
<v Speaker 1>the money. It's about still building my legacy. And I

0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:52.000
<v Speaker 1>think it was the best part for me. And there's

0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:54.320
<v Speaker 1>room to grow, isn't there. I mean I need two

0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.760
<v Speaker 1>hands to count how many times last year Cliff Kingsbury

0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:59.160
<v Speaker 1>told us, man, we need to get the ball to

0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:02.440
<v Speaker 1>number eighteen more. Aj Green needs to get more targets.

0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:05.359
<v Speaker 1>So do you see that your role evolve being I

0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:07.639
<v Speaker 1>think so. I think from last year even you know

0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:09.919
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people didn't expect me to do that

0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:13.000
<v Speaker 1>well in this offense. I think being another year with

0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Cliff and Kyler and just getting that relationship more because

0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:18.520
<v Speaker 1>I fell out. Like in the end, we tailed off

0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:20.640
<v Speaker 1>a little bit once Kawe got hurt and coming back

0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:22.960
<v Speaker 1>things were a little off, and then de Hop got hurt.

0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.359
<v Speaker 1>So I hope in this year we can jail throughout

0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:29.160
<v Speaker 1>the whole season. How much did the Cardinals offense leave

0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:31.080
<v Speaker 1>out there in the last two months. I think we

0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.720
<v Speaker 1>left a lot, you know, just looking back, even going

0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:35.760
<v Speaker 1>back and this reflecting on the season and watching some

0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:37.720
<v Speaker 1>of the games that we missed. You know, me personally,

0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:40.280
<v Speaker 1>I didn't finish this season where I wanted to finish,

0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:42.760
<v Speaker 1>and I got to be better on that. How do

0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.160
<v Speaker 1>you diagnose it? I mean, until you can correct a problem,

0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:46.800
<v Speaker 1>you got to identify it, right. I think it's just

0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:49.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of communication with us, you know, being this

0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:52.680
<v Speaker 1>lead for so long. These NFL seasons is up and down,

0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:56.080
<v Speaker 1>and we started so hot. I think the leadership of

0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:58.439
<v Speaker 1>our team, you know, tailed off a little bit. I

0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 1>think we just had to mess ups, you know, injury

0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:04.600
<v Speaker 1>whell that's not an excuse. But I think next year now,

0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean this year is coming up, we just gotta

0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.560
<v Speaker 1>be more honing on our details. What does d Hop

0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:12.040
<v Speaker 1>do for you and what do you do for d Hop?

0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I think d Hop, you know, he demand's attention and

0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:18.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that's where helps everybody else this offense jail

0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:21.520
<v Speaker 1>when he's going, you know, last year we had see

0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Kirk and I and then d hop defense couldn't really

0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:27.560
<v Speaker 1>key on one person. And when that happened, See Kirk

0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:29.040
<v Speaker 1>had a good game while I have a good game.

0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:33.040
<v Speaker 1>So having him out there just changed the whole dynamic

0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:35.560
<v Speaker 1>of the game. The fact you're both South Carolina guys too,

0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:37.800
<v Speaker 1>do you do you have an is that next level

0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:39.960
<v Speaker 1>in terms of connection and the where you guys just

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:42.680
<v Speaker 1>sort of interact and get along. I think this is

0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:45.560
<v Speaker 1>our personality. We both want to win. We don't care

0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:47.480
<v Speaker 1>about the balls. We've already been that guy catching a

0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:49.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of balls. We just want to win and try

0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:51.320
<v Speaker 1>to get a ring. I think that's what helps us

0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:52.840
<v Speaker 1>out in that room when we had a great room.

0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:54.919
<v Speaker 1>Wanted a part of the best rooms I've been a

0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:57.000
<v Speaker 1>part of last year when we had those guys, man,

0:18:57.040 --> 0:18:59.200
<v Speaker 1>And I'm excited to get back with you know, Sean,

0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:01.359
<v Speaker 1>Jay and Claire and get this thing rolling. And I

0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:03.359
<v Speaker 1>know you guys we're on board with aj Green here

0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:05.359
<v Speaker 1>on the big Red Rage. I mean, you're so competitive.

0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:08.919
<v Speaker 1>You guys are perfectionists. You're demanding yourselves. How about you

0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:11.040
<v Speaker 1>and your game? Where would you like to get better?

0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:13.280
<v Speaker 1>You mentioned three times you led the team and catches

0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:16.480
<v Speaker 1>five times and receiving yards. You tied with a See

0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Kirk for most twenty five yard catches, you know, et cetera.

0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:22.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's a lot of great but if you're

0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:25.040
<v Speaker 1>going to strive to improve upon last year, where and

0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:27.320
<v Speaker 1>how for you? For me, it's just more of my

0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:31.080
<v Speaker 1>attention to details, just being on Kiwa Kyla at all times,

0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:33.600
<v Speaker 1>communicating with him, and I think that's for me, that's

0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:36.040
<v Speaker 1>what I got to do better. It's communicating one k one,

0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:38.960
<v Speaker 1>just not let it be somebody else, communicain what I'm

0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:41.359
<v Speaker 1>saying to him. It's being me face to face to

0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:43.080
<v Speaker 1>him and telling me what he's seeing, what I need

0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:45.800
<v Speaker 1>to do, you know, just things like that, because if

0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:47.480
<v Speaker 1>you listen to fans a lot of times, to say, man,

0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:50.600
<v Speaker 1>it just seemed at times that Kyler and AJ weren't

0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:53.960
<v Speaker 1>quite on the same page. Fair unfair, that's fair. That's

0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:56.520
<v Speaker 1>one hundred percent fair. And I felt the same way.

0:19:57.040 --> 0:19:59.119
<v Speaker 1>So that's what me got to be accountable, going to

0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:01.840
<v Speaker 1>him and telling what I see and what he needs

0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:04.080
<v Speaker 1>me to do better. I can take it like, AJ,

0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:05.679
<v Speaker 1>you need to run this rod at this deep. You

0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:07.800
<v Speaker 1>need to do this. You know it's no big I'm

0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:09.320
<v Speaker 1>not I'm not bigger than the team. Man. I need

0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:12.120
<v Speaker 1>him to communicate with me and I'll do the same.

0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Where do you think in terms of Kyler in his

0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:18.000
<v Speaker 1>upside and it just as a quarterback, What do you

0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:20.600
<v Speaker 1>see in the future for him? Man? He's an MPP

0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:24.360
<v Speaker 1>caliber guy. Man. I think the jury threw him off

0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:25.880
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. But if you look at the first

0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:28.040
<v Speaker 1>couple of games, man, he's playing at the AMPVG level.

0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:31.240
<v Speaker 1>And for me, it just got to continue helping him,

0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:33.440
<v Speaker 1>bringing him along. And I mean, he's not a guy

0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:34.800
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be in your face, but we got to

0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:36.280
<v Speaker 1>make him be in his face because this is his

0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:38.719
<v Speaker 1>team and we go as he go. What does it

0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:41.520
<v Speaker 1>mean for receiver when he's extending plays. I forget which

0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:44.359
<v Speaker 1>defensive coordinator was. They showed video like he extended to

0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:47.520
<v Speaker 1>play thirteen seconds and then completed a pass. But what

0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:50.080
<v Speaker 1>does it mean for you guys in the receiver room. Oh? Man,

0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:53.119
<v Speaker 1>it's another part of the offense. There's another part of

0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:55.399
<v Speaker 1>the offense that a lot of defense is not. You

0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:57.760
<v Speaker 1>can't account for. You see a guy just running around

0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:00.680
<v Speaker 1>making guys miss, and then all the ross all broke off,

0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:03.960
<v Speaker 1>so as his back a football and I had to

0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:06.399
<v Speaker 1>get used to that. I wasn't used to that. You know,

0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:08.919
<v Speaker 1>I played with Andy Dotan ten years, so he was

0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:11.480
<v Speaker 1>just on the time, but playing with k one place

0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:15.719
<v Speaker 1>never did so I gotta stay alive. AJ Green our

0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:17.560
<v Speaker 1>guest on the Big Red Rage It's All About You,

0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:21.320
<v Speaker 1>presented by Santan Ford. James Connor. Your reaction when the

0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Cardinals resigned James Connery. You're nodding right now, aren't you? Yeah?

0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:26.879
<v Speaker 1>Why why is that? What does he do for this offense?

0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:30.480
<v Speaker 1>And just the vibe on the sideline. I've been seeing

0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:33.359
<v Speaker 1>j C since Pittsburgh day, so I understand what he

0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:37.280
<v Speaker 1>could do. But watching him, his energy he brings to

0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:41.080
<v Speaker 1>the locker room is unmatched. He's the same guy every day.

0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:42.960
<v Speaker 1>And I'm so happy that he signed back here. Man.

0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:45.159
<v Speaker 1>He deserves it. Man, he had an unbelievable season. If

0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:47.160
<v Speaker 1>you see that guy work like he need more money.

0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:49.520
<v Speaker 1>He need way more money. He need more money in that,

0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:54.000
<v Speaker 1>but just to have him back, and he made him

0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:57.280
<v Speaker 1>to him the pro bow, his whole story. You're rutheful

0:21:57.320 --> 0:22:02.280
<v Speaker 1>guys like that, and James is unbelievable guy. Physicality, his mentality.

0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:05.359
<v Speaker 1>You bring him Max Williams back right, he had a

0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:09.119
<v Speaker 1>zach Ertz. I mean, is this offense trending in a

0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:11.240
<v Speaker 1>certain direction, because when you guys were at your best,

0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:13.720
<v Speaker 1>you were a physical offense, weren't you. Yes, And I

0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:16.520
<v Speaker 1>think people didn't understand how physical we were if they

0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:18.960
<v Speaker 1>look at us and being the mar finess. But we

0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:20.760
<v Speaker 1>put on tape that we can be physical when we

0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:23.720
<v Speaker 1>need to. So we got to continue this next year,

0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:26.680
<v Speaker 1>and I'm glad we got got most out pieces back

0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:28.520
<v Speaker 1>so we can make a run out of this thing again,

0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:31.840
<v Speaker 1>including Rondale Moore going into year two. Seawan Jefferson, your

0:22:31.880 --> 0:22:34.000
<v Speaker 1>receivers coach, sat in that very chair, and he talked

0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:36.800
<v Speaker 1>about Rondale Moore and what's in store for him in

0:22:36.920 --> 0:22:39.080
<v Speaker 1>year two. What do you see? Because he talked about

0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:41.679
<v Speaker 1>getting the ball to him down field, more, expanding the

0:22:41.760 --> 0:22:44.600
<v Speaker 1>route tree, and he talked about how capable Rondale Moore is. Oh,

0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:47.040
<v Speaker 1>he's very capable. I think people get lost in what

0:22:47.119 --> 0:22:48.840
<v Speaker 1>he did last year and how he was used. But

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:51.360
<v Speaker 1>if you go look at his college tape, the guy

0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:54.920
<v Speaker 1>has great hands, great routes, great run, apt to to catch.

0:22:55.440 --> 0:22:58.160
<v Speaker 1>So I feel like he's gonna make a huge leap

0:22:58.640 --> 0:23:01.480
<v Speaker 1>from last year to this year. It's gonna be It's

0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:03.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna be special as a guy that works his butt

0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:05.919
<v Speaker 1>off as well. A lot of the mock drafts have

0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the Cardinals going receiver in round one, if not then

0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:11.399
<v Speaker 1>in round two when a young receiver comes in, what

0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:13.119
<v Speaker 1>do you look for? I mean, guys like me, I

0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:15.440
<v Speaker 1>can see the measurables, you know, maybe some of the production.

0:23:15.720 --> 0:23:17.720
<v Speaker 1>What do you look for when you see your young receiver?

0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:21.080
<v Speaker 1>I think this that competitiveness. You know, you think you

0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:24.320
<v Speaker 1>made it. My mentality was always there that you got

0:23:24.320 --> 0:23:26.760
<v Speaker 1>to revenge yourself. And I think when you see young

0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:28.919
<v Speaker 1>guys like that, when you see Rondelle and how he

0:23:29.240 --> 0:23:31.879
<v Speaker 1>approached stuff last year, that's what I'm looking for. That's

0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:34.160
<v Speaker 1>what I'm looking for. A guy that's put his head down,

0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:36.679
<v Speaker 1>don't talk that much, just go to work every day.

0:23:36.840 --> 0:23:38.879
<v Speaker 1>So you had other offers, huh, you had other offers

0:23:38.880 --> 0:23:41.439
<v Speaker 1>out you thought about it, I agent, and it was

0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:44.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, you know how left free agency healing works.

0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:46.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm at a place in my career where I'm comfortable.

0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:49.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm comfortable and I can take my time. I have

0:23:49.960 --> 0:23:51.920
<v Speaker 1>the ability to take my time. But I felt like

0:23:51.960 --> 0:23:54.560
<v Speaker 1>this was the right place from him. And I'll tell you,

0:23:54.680 --> 0:23:57.280
<v Speaker 1>we're all grateful that the place for you is Arizona.

0:23:57.359 --> 0:24:00.199
<v Speaker 1>So congratulations on that. Thank you. We look forward this

0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:02.960
<v Speaker 1>year kJ Green on a Big Red Rage. We continue

0:24:03.160 --> 0:24:22.639
<v Speaker 1>right after this corner number. Let go and Jeff Clatney

0:24:22.760 --> 0:24:30.639
<v Speaker 1>like a shot shot, see him down, get him to me.

0:24:30.680 --> 0:24:33.080
<v Speaker 1>It's a freebee. We got an extra first round pick,

0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:37.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, basically in free agency. Incredibly quick footed, highly

0:24:37.400 --> 0:24:39.840
<v Speaker 1>instinctive player. It's a reason again he went in the

0:24:39.840 --> 0:24:43.320
<v Speaker 1>first round and we're getting a you know, a starter

0:24:43.760 --> 0:24:46.680
<v Speaker 1>in our building with and we didn't you know, waste

0:24:46.680 --> 0:24:50.120
<v Speaker 1>any draft capital basically, so um, he helps us out.

0:24:50.119 --> 0:24:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Immediately excited to have him, and he's gonna help big

0:24:52.680 --> 0:24:55.920
<v Speaker 1>time again. I'll take him that next up. Director of

0:24:56.000 --> 0:24:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Player Personnel, Drew Grigson. Last week here on the Big

0:24:59.520 --> 0:25:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert, we are

0:25:02.280 --> 0:25:04.280
<v Speaker 1>santan Ford and that was the word that stood out

0:25:04.280 --> 0:25:08.000
<v Speaker 1>about Jeff Gladney. Starter. I mean, we heard Paul Allen

0:25:08.000 --> 0:25:10.040
<v Speaker 1>and the Vikings radio you heard him all miked up.

0:25:10.080 --> 0:25:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Gladney is rookie year he sat out last year,

0:25:12.760 --> 0:25:14.720
<v Speaker 1>so this will be year number three the former first

0:25:14.800 --> 0:25:16.840
<v Speaker 1>round pick. You're a little bit of a scouter, report Putt.

0:25:17.400 --> 0:25:20.160
<v Speaker 1>When you hear Drew Grigson use the word starter, you

0:25:20.200 --> 0:25:23.000
<v Speaker 1>realize that they're counting on Jeff Gladney to make an

0:25:23.080 --> 0:25:26.560
<v Speaker 1>impact immediately. Ron Wilton, Yeah, now you're right about that, Paully,

0:25:26.640 --> 0:25:28.520
<v Speaker 1>And the other thing you've got to remember, of course,

0:25:28.680 --> 0:25:31.800
<v Speaker 1>for the most part, I think most teams and most

0:25:31.920 --> 0:25:35.479
<v Speaker 1>defensive coordinators and general managers think you got to have

0:25:35.720 --> 0:25:39.560
<v Speaker 1>three starters at the corner position because how much Polly

0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:42.920
<v Speaker 1>that you see teams going with eleven personnel, one back,

0:25:43.000 --> 0:25:46.000
<v Speaker 1>one tight end, three wide receivers, And because of that,

0:25:46.400 --> 0:25:49.359
<v Speaker 1>they pretty much feel like that nickel corner is a

0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:53.320
<v Speaker 1>starter as well, and anytime they have the ability to

0:25:53.320 --> 0:25:56.080
<v Speaker 1>move Byron Murphy around. Right, So let's say Gladney can

0:25:56.280 --> 0:25:58.280
<v Speaker 1>in these only five ten you know they say, okay,

0:25:58.320 --> 0:26:00.120
<v Speaker 1>plays bigger. He does he have the ability to match

0:26:00.200 --> 0:26:03.040
<v Speaker 1>up against outside guys. But if he is that guys,

0:26:03.400 --> 0:26:06.280
<v Speaker 1>we know Vans Joseph likes Byron Murphy to use him

0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:09.640
<v Speaker 1>quite often and certain matchups inside, does he not? Yeah,

0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:12.560
<v Speaker 1>there's no doubt Paula. I don't consider a corner that

0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:15.760
<v Speaker 1>is five ten to be small. I'm sorry, I don't.

0:26:16.000 --> 0:26:19.960
<v Speaker 1>And obviously there are teams out there that feel exactly

0:26:20.000 --> 0:26:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the same way, because they draft a lot of guys

0:26:22.000 --> 0:26:25.560
<v Speaker 1>who are five ten five eleven six foot tall right

0:26:25.600 --> 0:26:28.400
<v Speaker 1>in that range. In terms of playing corner, I don't

0:26:28.400 --> 0:26:32.080
<v Speaker 1>think he's necessarily small for the position. I think if

0:26:32.119 --> 0:26:35.000
<v Speaker 1>you want to start talking about being under five ten,

0:26:35.160 --> 0:26:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I get that, But I can't tell you how many

0:26:37.040 --> 0:26:39.880
<v Speaker 1>guys I've seen, how many corners I've seen that are

0:26:39.880 --> 0:26:42.920
<v Speaker 1>five ten, five ten and a half and almost two

0:26:43.000 --> 0:26:45.640
<v Speaker 1>hundred pounds one hundred ninety five pounds who are stocky

0:26:45.680 --> 0:26:48.879
<v Speaker 1>and play the position just fine. Yeah, well, all right,

0:26:48.960 --> 0:26:51.760
<v Speaker 1>speaking of positions, the question is Steve Khme at his

0:26:51.920 --> 0:26:55.240
<v Speaker 1>annual draft press conference pre draft presser, was all right,

0:26:55.280 --> 0:26:58.800
<v Speaker 1>positions of need, what do you think do the GM

0:26:58.840 --> 0:27:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Steve Kahn would acknowledge that, you know, edge rusher, wide receiver, corner,

0:27:04.680 --> 0:27:06.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, any of those positions that are you know,

0:27:06.440 --> 0:27:08.640
<v Speaker 1>they're hard to find. I mean, listen, when guys get

0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:10.399
<v Speaker 1>the free agency and they get paid the kind of

0:27:10.400 --> 0:27:13.480
<v Speaker 1>money they get, you know you're looking at left tackles, corners,

0:27:13.640 --> 0:27:16.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, guys that are really hard to find. Obviously quarterbacks.

0:27:16.600 --> 0:27:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Now receivers are playing into that a little bit. Obviously,

0:27:18.960 --> 0:27:20.960
<v Speaker 1>you know when you see some of the salaries that

0:27:21.040 --> 0:27:23.600
<v Speaker 1>these guys are getting into the receiver position. If you

0:27:23.600 --> 0:27:25.600
<v Speaker 1>can get a number one receiver, there's no reason not

0:27:25.640 --> 0:27:27.679
<v Speaker 1>to take one, and there's no doubt about that. I

0:27:27.680 --> 0:27:30.720
<v Speaker 1>think the status there's eight receivers now making eighteen million

0:27:30.840 --> 0:27:35.040
<v Speaker 1>or more per season in the NFL. It is absolutely rocketed.

0:27:35.080 --> 0:27:37.760
<v Speaker 1>We know what Christian Kirk has gone to the salary

0:27:37.800 --> 0:27:40.520
<v Speaker 1>structure for NFL receivers around the league. But when I

0:27:40.600 --> 0:27:43.320
<v Speaker 1>hear him site positions Wolf, because we know how low

0:27:43.440 --> 0:27:46.239
<v Speaker 1>the GMS are to actually name names and positions. So

0:27:46.280 --> 0:27:49.000
<v Speaker 1>when he says edge rusher, wide receiver in corner, you

0:27:49.000 --> 0:27:50.560
<v Speaker 1>know what my first thought was sitting there at that

0:27:50.560 --> 0:27:53.199
<v Speaker 1>press conference today. That means that means zeros on our

0:27:53.240 --> 0:27:54.879
<v Speaker 1>Cardinals in Round one are going to draft either O

0:27:55.040 --> 0:27:59.280
<v Speaker 1>line or D line. That's what that means. That was

0:27:59.359 --> 0:28:02.600
<v Speaker 1>my title. It's so funny you say that, Polly, because honestly,

0:28:02.680 --> 0:28:04.760
<v Speaker 1>it's that time of year right now, is that not?

0:28:05.040 --> 0:28:08.360
<v Speaker 1>It is that time of year where you can't believe

0:28:08.600 --> 0:28:11.800
<v Speaker 1>anything that a general manager actually says in front of

0:28:12.400 --> 0:28:15.000
<v Speaker 1>a microphone. Why in the world would a GM ever

0:28:15.080 --> 0:28:19.600
<v Speaker 1>tip off anybody, in particular other gms across the league

0:28:19.800 --> 0:28:22.320
<v Speaker 1>as to how he might go or how he might

0:28:22.440 --> 0:28:25.840
<v Speaker 1>unfold in the draft. It's not going to happen. Why

0:28:25.880 --> 0:28:29.920
<v Speaker 1>would anybody do that? They wouldn't you know? In mind

0:28:29.920 --> 0:28:32.480
<v Speaker 1>what thirty years now doing this covering an NFL team.

0:28:32.880 --> 0:28:35.040
<v Speaker 1>The only person I've seen get up there before the

0:28:35.160 --> 0:28:37.280
<v Speaker 1>draft in front of him, Mike can actually tell the truth.

0:28:37.800 --> 0:28:41.680
<v Speaker 1>It's Bruce Arius know it, Yes, it's BA. And what

0:28:41.760 --> 0:28:43.560
<v Speaker 1>did he say after the draft? He said, Well, everybody

0:28:43.560 --> 0:28:47.240
<v Speaker 1>thinks I'm lying exactly, so I guess the reverse engineer

0:28:47.880 --> 0:28:50.240
<v Speaker 1>and I use some reverse psychology and I told y'all

0:28:50.240 --> 0:28:52.520
<v Speaker 1>where we were going, and nobody believe me. Anyway, That's

0:28:52.560 --> 0:28:55.080
<v Speaker 1>exactly right. At this point in time, You've got to

0:28:55.120 --> 0:28:59.160
<v Speaker 1>consider this source, don't you be a Yeah? So, Polly,

0:28:59.400 --> 0:29:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I would you agree with Steve Kim in regard to

0:29:02.080 --> 0:29:05.600
<v Speaker 1>positions of need? Right there he mentions the edge, of course,

0:29:05.640 --> 0:29:09.440
<v Speaker 1>and slarner and wide receiver. Yeah, I think those are

0:29:09.520 --> 0:29:14.080
<v Speaker 1>positions of need. And I also will throw in defensive tackle,

0:29:14.520 --> 0:29:17.160
<v Speaker 1>especially when a guy that might be a little freaky,

0:29:17.880 --> 0:29:21.800
<v Speaker 1>maybe a Jordan Davis, there, maybe a DeVante. Why at, Paul,

0:29:22.280 --> 0:29:25.840
<v Speaker 1>you know either one of those guys. Honestly, you've got

0:29:25.840 --> 0:29:29.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot invested in Isaiah Simmons, do you not, Paul,

0:29:29.520 --> 0:29:32.920
<v Speaker 1>You've got a lot invested in Zaven Collins. Do you

0:29:33.280 --> 0:29:36.520
<v Speaker 1>double down right with Savan Collins the next year? Yes?

0:29:36.760 --> 0:29:39.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean you got to protect these guys and try

0:29:39.560 --> 0:29:43.280
<v Speaker 1>to keep them clean. Why. Because they can run. It's

0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:46.160
<v Speaker 1>one of the things that put them in the first round,

0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:49.440
<v Speaker 1>one of the reasons why the Cardinals loved him. They

0:29:49.480 --> 0:29:53.080
<v Speaker 1>can run, they can cover, they can run with tight

0:29:53.200 --> 0:29:55.760
<v Speaker 1>ends down the seam, either one of them. They can

0:29:55.880 --> 0:29:59.640
<v Speaker 1>run with running backs, they can You've got to protect

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:03.040
<v Speaker 1>those guys and let them run and let him make tackles.

0:30:03.440 --> 0:30:05.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you if you want to believe anything about

0:30:05.560 --> 0:30:08.520
<v Speaker 1>the mock drafts, and okay, I don't say that lightly,

0:30:08.600 --> 0:30:11.000
<v Speaker 1>but there is one trend in all these mock drafts

0:30:11.120 --> 0:30:16.240
<v Speaker 1>that Baltimore supposedly allegedly cannot stay away from Jordan Davis.

0:30:16.520 --> 0:30:19.880
<v Speaker 1>That Jordan Davis is just a Baltimore Raven in the making.

0:30:20.000 --> 0:30:22.280
<v Speaker 1>And so if they go with Jordan Davis. Wolf you

0:30:22.360 --> 0:30:25.120
<v Speaker 1>might get your wish, you might get Davante Wyatt, he

0:30:25.200 --> 0:30:27.800
<v Speaker 1>might fall to number twenty three and the Arizona Cardinals.

0:30:27.840 --> 0:30:31.560
<v Speaker 1>But if Steve Kine was in the trust tree and

0:30:31.640 --> 0:30:33.400
<v Speaker 1>he had the lie detector on and he had to

0:30:33.520 --> 0:30:38.200
<v Speaker 1>answer that question honestly, truthfully, the top three positions of

0:30:38.240 --> 0:30:42.320
<v Speaker 1>need would be edge, edge, and edge. Because there's only

0:30:42.360 --> 0:30:44.360
<v Speaker 1>one position group on this team right now, Ron wolf

0:30:44.400 --> 0:30:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Lee where you can't go into week one and say,

0:30:46.320 --> 0:30:49.000
<v Speaker 1>all right, we have legitimate starters. You can't say that

0:30:49.040 --> 0:30:52.960
<v Speaker 1>at Edge you have Marcus Golden and a couple of backups.

0:30:53.000 --> 0:30:57.320
<v Speaker 1>You really don't have another starting, quality caliber Edge, and

0:30:57.440 --> 0:31:00.240
<v Speaker 1>that's something that's gonna have to be addressed. Whether it's

0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:04.000
<v Speaker 1>a free agency. Yeah, you know what, Paulie, You're right

0:31:04.040 --> 0:31:08.200
<v Speaker 1>about that. I think they could get an edge guy.

0:31:07.640 --> 0:31:11.200
<v Speaker 1>This draft is so deep if you listen to some

0:31:11.240 --> 0:31:14.040
<v Speaker 1>of the experts, paul you know me. I'm not one

0:31:14.080 --> 0:31:16.840
<v Speaker 1>of those draft expert guys. I really am not. And

0:31:16.920 --> 0:31:19.600
<v Speaker 1>one of the reasons why is because a rookie you

0:31:19.680 --> 0:31:21.520
<v Speaker 1>got to prove it to me. I can't tell you

0:31:21.560 --> 0:31:24.280
<v Speaker 1>how many rookies I've seen. Oh my goodness, this guy

0:31:24.360 --> 0:31:26.680
<v Speaker 1>is gonna be a pro bowler. This guy is gonna

0:31:26.760 --> 0:31:30.400
<v Speaker 1>change the dynamic of our defense. He's gonna change our offense.

0:31:30.640 --> 0:31:32.560
<v Speaker 1>He's going to go. He's gonna be at all pro.

0:31:32.840 --> 0:31:34.960
<v Speaker 1>I can't tell you how many times I've heard this

0:31:35.400 --> 0:31:39.560
<v Speaker 1>about rookies, and yet they just couldn't play Paul, and

0:31:39.640 --> 0:31:42.360
<v Speaker 1>that was a problem right there. So I don't put

0:31:42.360 --> 0:31:46.160
<v Speaker 1>a ton of stock into it. I don't. But having

0:31:46.240 --> 0:31:50.920
<v Speaker 1>said that, Paul, this draft is supposedly very very deep

0:31:51.080 --> 0:31:55.200
<v Speaker 1>on the edge. Maybe there's a guy there at fifty five, Paul,

0:31:55.560 --> 0:31:57.760
<v Speaker 1>that you're gonna be able to get at fifty five

0:31:57.920 --> 0:31:59.720
<v Speaker 1>who could be a difference maker. I mean some of

0:31:59.760 --> 0:32:03.280
<v Speaker 1>those names, Nick Benito Oklahoma, Arnold Eba Katie from Penn State,

0:32:03.320 --> 0:32:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Boye Mothe from Minnesota, Josh Pascal Kentucky. Maybe Drake Jackson

0:32:07.480 --> 0:32:10.960
<v Speaker 1>USC didn't have a great workout so you know, or

0:32:11.400 --> 0:32:14.480
<v Speaker 1>or maybe the Cardinals trade up if one of those

0:32:14.640 --> 0:32:18.440
<v Speaker 1>elite pass rusher guys is within range. Because Steve Kim

0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:22.400
<v Speaker 1>was asked about whether he's placed or received any calls

0:32:22.400 --> 0:32:24.560
<v Speaker 1>on the trade front, Well, I've had some calls, you know,

0:32:24.600 --> 0:32:26.040
<v Speaker 1>guys that just want to let me know that Hey,

0:32:26.040 --> 0:32:28.160
<v Speaker 1>we're willing to move around. And then I've done the

0:32:28.160 --> 0:32:30.800
<v Speaker 1>same you know, guys that you generally talked to prior

0:32:30.840 --> 0:32:32.719
<v Speaker 1>to the draft, and just let them know we're up

0:32:32.800 --> 0:32:36.920
<v Speaker 1>in for business. Well you like. For example, for example,

0:32:36.960 --> 0:32:40.520
<v Speaker 1>if you're thinking receiver, receiver, receiver, they're at twenty three,

0:32:40.560 --> 0:32:42.640
<v Speaker 1>and then look at four the five teams in front

0:32:42.680 --> 0:32:46.640
<v Speaker 1>of you. Those teams all supposedly our targeting receiver as well.

0:32:46.680 --> 0:32:51.400
<v Speaker 1>The Eagles, the Saints, the Packers, the Patriots all have

0:32:51.480 --> 0:32:55.240
<v Speaker 1>a serious dire need for receivers. So when he says, oh,

0:32:55.320 --> 0:32:57.800
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I've had some conversations maybe moving up

0:32:57.840 --> 0:33:00.880
<v Speaker 1>four or five spots. To me, that is directly in

0:33:00.960 --> 0:33:03.920
<v Speaker 1>consideration of those teams in front of him all may

0:33:04.000 --> 0:33:06.920
<v Speaker 1>take receiver and leave the Cardinals holding the bag. Yeah, Polli,

0:33:07.120 --> 0:33:10.520
<v Speaker 1>And once again, I don't know about you, but I've

0:33:10.560 --> 0:33:14.080
<v Speaker 1>heard from some of the draft experts that there could

0:33:14.080 --> 0:33:17.280
<v Speaker 1>be as many as seven wide receivers taken in the

0:33:17.320 --> 0:33:21.560
<v Speaker 1>first round. And if that in fact is the case, yeah,

0:33:21.600 --> 0:33:23.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe you do want to move up because you really

0:33:24.040 --> 0:33:28.480
<v Speaker 1>love somebody or you covet somebody, but there's supposedly a

0:33:28.640 --> 0:33:34.880
<v Speaker 1>drop off at that position after seven or eight receivers,

0:33:34.960 --> 0:33:39.120
<v Speaker 1>you're supposed to be a considerable drop off, and maybe

0:33:39.120 --> 0:33:41.520
<v Speaker 1>that's one of the reasons why you would move up, Paul.

0:33:42.280 --> 0:33:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Maybe maybe. I mean, you know, it's all part of

0:33:45.120 --> 0:33:47.800
<v Speaker 1>why the NFL Draft is so highly rated when it

0:33:47.800 --> 0:33:49.959
<v Speaker 1>comes to the TV ratings, right, I mean, it's just

0:33:50.120 --> 0:33:54.080
<v Speaker 1>it's reality TV sports, it's the original reality TV. And

0:33:54.120 --> 0:33:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Steve Kim talked about Draft day and the potential for

0:33:57.080 --> 0:34:00.440
<v Speaker 1>a big deal. It's a fast moving process. Probably the

0:34:00.480 --> 0:34:02.960
<v Speaker 1>one thing in the draft that creates the most excitement

0:34:03.080 --> 0:34:06.880
<v Speaker 1>is whenever those trade conversations start, because the level of

0:34:06.880 --> 0:34:10.200
<v Speaker 1>excitement in the room sort of rises. But more than anything,

0:34:10.239 --> 0:34:13.480
<v Speaker 1>whether you agree with the trade chart or the points,

0:34:13.640 --> 0:34:15.600
<v Speaker 1>more than anything, to me, it's an instinctive thing. You

0:34:15.600 --> 0:34:17.719
<v Speaker 1>got to feel good about what you're doing, and as

0:34:17.719 --> 0:34:19.520
<v Speaker 1>long as you trust, you got I think you're being

0:34:19.560 --> 0:34:22.880
<v Speaker 1>a good position So well, which position group would you

0:34:22.880 --> 0:34:25.480
<v Speaker 1>feel more comfortable target in round two? Meaning would you

0:34:25.520 --> 0:34:27.480
<v Speaker 1>go edge in round one or receiver in round two

0:34:27.600 --> 0:34:30.720
<v Speaker 1>or vice versa? Or are you thinking a different position

0:34:30.719 --> 0:34:34.360
<v Speaker 1>group altogether? Probably? I'm just I mean, honestly, right now, everybody,

0:34:34.360 --> 0:34:38.400
<v Speaker 1>everybody that I've talked to, everybody that I've read everybody

0:34:38.440 --> 0:34:41.399
<v Speaker 1>that I truly respect about this. They talk about how

0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:46.360
<v Speaker 1>deep the edge is the edge, And if you're really

0:34:46.480 --> 0:34:49.319
<v Speaker 1>serious about that, hey, listen, maybe you could get a

0:34:49.320 --> 0:34:52.719
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver bully at number twenty three. Maybe you could

0:34:52.760 --> 0:34:55.759
<v Speaker 1>get one of those wide receivers at number twenty three

0:34:55.840 --> 0:34:59.000
<v Speaker 1>and still get an edge guy at number fifty five.

0:34:59.160 --> 0:35:02.880
<v Speaker 1>That to me, how do you see it? Paul? Yeah,

0:35:02.920 --> 0:35:05.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, Steve Coome has never drafted a receiver in

0:35:05.719 --> 0:35:08.960
<v Speaker 1>round one, and the Cardinal's recent track record with a

0:35:09.000 --> 0:35:12.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of receivers in the draft not robust, to be sure.

0:35:12.560 --> 0:35:15.239
<v Speaker 1>And honestly, I'm the guy who the last three years said,

0:35:15.320 --> 0:35:18.160
<v Speaker 1>check the hit rate for the position group that fare

0:35:18.239 --> 0:35:20.680
<v Speaker 1>the worst in round one, and it's been receiver. Yeah,

0:35:20.760 --> 0:35:22.839
<v Speaker 1>but I think this is the exception to your point.

0:35:22.920 --> 0:35:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Seven receivers could go on round one and that would

0:35:25.000 --> 0:35:27.120
<v Speaker 1>match the all time record, which by the way, was

0:35:27.160 --> 0:35:29.720
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and four when Larry Fitzgerald was the first

0:35:29.800 --> 0:35:32.560
<v Speaker 1>receiver off the board in number three. Overall, I get it.

0:35:32.800 --> 0:35:35.160
<v Speaker 1>And after we's all witnessed what happened to the Cardinals

0:35:35.200 --> 0:35:39.080
<v Speaker 1>offense minus d Hop last year, Yeah, that sort of

0:35:39.120 --> 0:35:41.840
<v Speaker 1>reinforces the need for this team. Yeah, you know what,

0:35:41.880 --> 0:35:43.960
<v Speaker 1>It's so interesting, though, what do you do? Do you

0:35:44.040 --> 0:35:47.000
<v Speaker 1>go get a guy like a Jamison Williams? Do you

0:35:47.040 --> 0:35:50.120
<v Speaker 1>go get that guy who can change the dynamic of

0:35:50.160 --> 0:35:53.640
<v Speaker 1>a defense because he can run by so many guys?

0:35:53.680 --> 0:35:55.879
<v Speaker 1>Do you try to find a run by guy even

0:35:55.880 --> 0:35:59.160
<v Speaker 1>though Jamison Williams. Don't get sidetracked with the fact that

0:35:59.239 --> 0:36:01.520
<v Speaker 1>he might not he might not be able to play

0:36:01.560 --> 0:36:05.760
<v Speaker 1>until like November. But I'm talking about a speed guy.

0:36:06.120 --> 0:36:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you are you going to draft a speed guy, Paul,

0:36:09.040 --> 0:36:10.920
<v Speaker 1>or are you gonna draft a guy that like a

0:36:11.040 --> 0:36:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Drake London from usc that could totally make a difference

0:36:15.320 --> 0:36:18.680
<v Speaker 1>a great I think he's a bigger version of d Hop.

0:36:19.200 --> 0:36:23.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean he catches so many contested balls, Paul, His

0:36:23.800 --> 0:36:26.919
<v Speaker 1>hands are huge. I think Drake London is a guy

0:36:27.000 --> 0:36:30.799
<v Speaker 1>that man, if he were there at number twenty three, well,

0:36:31.080 --> 0:36:34.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. You gotta start, Drooland, don't you. Are

0:36:34.320 --> 0:36:36.920
<v Speaker 1>you concerned though, that Drake London won't run the forty

0:36:37.120 --> 0:36:41.080
<v Speaker 1>because you know a lot of comparisons to Mike Evans,

0:36:41.120 --> 0:36:42.879
<v Speaker 1>But Mike Evans went out there and ran a four

0:36:42.960 --> 0:36:45.640
<v Speaker 1>or five something at his size. Yeah, and I think

0:36:45.680 --> 0:36:48.000
<v Speaker 1>most people think he'd run a four or five Paul,

0:36:48.360 --> 0:36:51.680
<v Speaker 1>he'd run a four or five five Drake London, Okay,

0:36:51.880 --> 0:36:54.120
<v Speaker 1>I just get a little word that at his size,

0:36:54.160 --> 0:36:56.640
<v Speaker 1>will he be able to get separation? And I know

0:36:56.680 --> 0:36:59.439
<v Speaker 1>how strong he is, you know, and contested catches, Oh yeah,

0:36:59.640 --> 0:37:01.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, play strength. I can get it. And Trason

0:37:01.920 --> 0:37:03.960
<v Speaker 1>sighted that as well. It's kind of like d Hop

0:37:04.040 --> 0:37:07.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, d Hop is not a run by guy.

0:37:07.200 --> 0:37:10.920
<v Speaker 1>He just isn't. How many contested passes do you see

0:37:11.000 --> 0:37:15.239
<v Speaker 1>DeAndre Hopkins patch all the time? And Drake London just

0:37:15.560 --> 0:37:18.800
<v Speaker 1>like that. To address your original question, what sort of

0:37:18.840 --> 0:37:20.160
<v Speaker 1>receiver would you go out? You know a lot of

0:37:20.320 --> 0:37:23.400
<v Speaker 1>receiver coaches and offensive coordinators want a receiver room that

0:37:23.440 --> 0:37:26.000
<v Speaker 1>looks like a basketball team. You want one of every

0:37:26.000 --> 0:37:28.400
<v Speaker 1>sort of position. Right. You want the smaller, quick guy

0:37:28.440 --> 0:37:29.840
<v Speaker 1>in the slot, and you want the big guy on

0:37:29.880 --> 0:37:31.960
<v Speaker 1>the outside that would be your five, right, I mean

0:37:32.000 --> 0:37:35.600
<v Speaker 1>you want the different size guys. So that being the case,

0:37:35.760 --> 0:37:38.920
<v Speaker 1>you can give me Treylon Burks and hashtag who wants

0:37:38.920 --> 0:37:42.560
<v Speaker 1>something and we're just going I mean absolutely And by

0:37:42.600 --> 0:37:45.680
<v Speaker 1>the way, for more on everything related to the draft,

0:37:45.680 --> 0:37:47.600
<v Speaker 1>you got to hit up the Dave Pash Podcast. This

0:37:47.640 --> 0:37:52.000
<v Speaker 1>week's guest about NFL Network Draft analyst Extraordinary Daniel Jeremiah

0:37:52.000 --> 0:37:54.279
<v Speaker 1>wherever you get your podcasts and you can follow me

0:37:54.320 --> 0:37:57.880
<v Speaker 1>a Twitter at pashpod. Will continue to talk about the Cardinals,

0:37:58.120 --> 0:38:00.520
<v Speaker 1>recap what AJ Green had to say, and see flight

0:38:00.600 --> 0:38:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Plan next on the Big Red Rage. You got to

0:38:06.640 --> 0:38:08.960
<v Speaker 1>play your best football at the most important times of

0:38:09.000 --> 0:38:12.320
<v Speaker 1>the year, and I obviously don't think that we did that.

0:38:12.640 --> 0:38:15.759
<v Speaker 1>I hope it's motivation for every single guy on the

0:38:15.760 --> 0:38:19.399
<v Speaker 1>team to do everything in their power to make sure

0:38:19.440 --> 0:38:21.640
<v Speaker 1>that we're not in a situation like that again the

0:38:21.640 --> 0:38:24.840
<v Speaker 1>back half of the season and then specifically what happened

0:38:24.840 --> 0:38:27.319
<v Speaker 1>in the playoffs. So if you can't look at that

0:38:27.360 --> 0:38:30.440
<v Speaker 1>game and you can't walk out of that stadium feeling

0:38:30.480 --> 0:38:33.400
<v Speaker 1>motivation and wanting to work harder and wanting to be

0:38:33.400 --> 0:38:36.360
<v Speaker 1>better and wanting to do everything that you can, probably

0:38:36.360 --> 0:38:39.680
<v Speaker 1>in the wrong business. J J. Water earlier this week

0:38:39.719 --> 0:38:41.480
<v Speaker 1>and what Bye had asked him, I just said, was

0:38:41.560 --> 0:38:44.000
<v Speaker 1>there a lesson learned from the way last season ended?

0:38:44.040 --> 0:38:48.560
<v Speaker 1>It is? So what that was his response, which just

0:38:48.600 --> 0:38:50.520
<v Speaker 1>the look on his face, the manner in which he

0:38:50.680 --> 0:38:55.680
<v Speaker 1>delivered that, you can sense that it's still raw with

0:38:55.719 --> 0:38:58.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of guys the way last season ended, losing

0:38:58.680 --> 0:39:01.560
<v Speaker 1>five of your final six. You heard what Aj Green

0:39:01.680 --> 0:39:03.640
<v Speaker 1>said earlier in this edition of The Big Red Rage

0:39:03.640 --> 0:39:06.920
<v Speaker 1>presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. I asked him, how

0:39:07.000 --> 0:39:08.799
<v Speaker 1>much do you think the offense left out there at

0:39:08.800 --> 0:39:11.239
<v Speaker 1>the end of last season? He said a lot, he said.

0:39:11.280 --> 0:39:13.120
<v Speaker 1>I gotta be better, he said, I said, why do

0:39:13.160 --> 0:39:15.799
<v Speaker 1>you diagnose the problem? And Aj Green was pretty fourth right.

0:39:15.840 --> 0:39:18.480
<v Speaker 1>He said, quote, you know, the leadership of the team

0:39:18.600 --> 0:39:21.120
<v Speaker 1>tailed awful little bit. We got to hone in on

0:39:21.160 --> 0:39:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the details. Yeah, so you're just hopeful that they tried

0:39:25.560 --> 0:39:28.440
<v Speaker 1>to figure out that they have successfully figured out and

0:39:28.600 --> 0:39:31.320
<v Speaker 1>deciphered what went wrong at the end of the season

0:39:31.360 --> 0:39:35.399
<v Speaker 1>for a second straight season, and if they have. Going

0:39:35.520 --> 0:39:38.120
<v Speaker 1>full circle here, it gets back to your point. Wolf.

0:39:38.560 --> 0:39:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Now you see the rhyme and reason why they're bringing

0:39:40.680 --> 0:39:43.279
<v Speaker 1>back the core players. Yeah, no doubt about it. Paully.

0:39:43.400 --> 0:39:46.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, once again, it's so important for people that

0:39:46.400 --> 0:39:49.360
<v Speaker 1>are listening right now to understand the mentality of a

0:39:49.400 --> 0:39:52.440
<v Speaker 1>football player is not that of a front runner poem.

0:39:52.480 --> 0:39:56.320
<v Speaker 1>It's not. It's a guy that knows how to finish

0:39:56.400 --> 0:39:59.640
<v Speaker 1>above all else, a guy that knows how to finish.

0:39:59.680 --> 0:40:03.000
<v Speaker 1>A I that knows the task ad hand is never

0:40:03.160 --> 0:40:08.239
<v Speaker 1>good unless you finish and finish strong, Polly. I can't

0:40:08.239 --> 0:40:10.839
<v Speaker 1>tell you how many coaches will scream out, You'll hear

0:40:10.880 --> 0:40:14.360
<v Speaker 1>it on the field right all the time, finish, finish

0:40:14.520 --> 0:40:18.719
<v Speaker 1>right there screaming finish. Why they're trying to get that

0:40:19.239 --> 0:40:22.680
<v Speaker 1>into the head of some player out there on the field,

0:40:22.719 --> 0:40:27.120
<v Speaker 1>whatever it may be, to finish strong Polly is a player.

0:40:27.360 --> 0:40:30.759
<v Speaker 1>You're looking to do that individually, and you're looking to

0:40:30.840 --> 0:40:34.480
<v Speaker 1>do that collectively. And that's why the look on JJ

0:40:34.640 --> 0:40:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Watt's face when you ask him that question, that's why

0:40:38.360 --> 0:40:44.200
<v Speaker 1>it drooped. I'm sure because there's nothing worse for an individual,

0:40:44.280 --> 0:40:47.359
<v Speaker 1>for a football player, and for a football team than

0:40:47.480 --> 0:40:51.840
<v Speaker 1>not being able to finish Andy her guys take accountability.

0:40:51.920 --> 0:40:54.799
<v Speaker 1>AJ Greenden today in that interview, right you know, asked him,

0:40:54.840 --> 0:40:56.319
<v Speaker 1>was it fair to say you weren't always on the

0:40:56.320 --> 0:40:58.680
<v Speaker 1>same page with Kyler? Murray said absolutely fair. He said

0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:00.960
<v Speaker 1>I felt the same way. He said, I need to

0:41:01.000 --> 0:41:02.960
<v Speaker 1>go to him more often. I need to communicate with

0:41:03.040 --> 0:41:04.440
<v Speaker 1>him more. He's not a guy who's going to get

0:41:04.480 --> 0:41:06.400
<v Speaker 1>in your faces off, and I need to get in

0:41:06.480 --> 0:41:08.080
<v Speaker 1>his face and make him talk to me, you know,

0:41:08.160 --> 0:41:10.520
<v Speaker 1>make him tell me how I can be better. So

0:41:11.400 --> 0:41:13.759
<v Speaker 1>it's interesting if that's part of the plan and then

0:41:13.760 --> 0:41:16.360
<v Speaker 1>you hit zoom out and Michael Bidwell. This week, it

0:41:16.520 --> 0:41:19.640
<v Speaker 1>was just released season five, episode one of Cardinals Flight Plan.

0:41:19.760 --> 0:41:22.000
<v Speaker 1>This is all access behind the scenes available now in

0:41:22.040 --> 0:41:25.960
<v Speaker 1>the Cardinal's YouTube channel YouTube dot com. Slash Azy Cardinals

0:41:26.120 --> 0:41:29.320
<v Speaker 1>and the team owner talking about the strategy in free agency.

0:41:29.520 --> 0:41:32.520
<v Speaker 1>If you look at the last five seasons, about two

0:41:32.600 --> 0:41:35.200
<v Speaker 1>thirds of the free agents that went to a different

0:41:35.200 --> 0:41:38.280
<v Speaker 1>team and were paid more than ten million dollars played

0:41:38.360 --> 0:41:42.280
<v Speaker 1>less than seventy five percent playtime. Many were not starters,

0:41:42.960 --> 0:41:45.239
<v Speaker 1>most of them didn't go to the Pro Bowl. Just

0:41:45.280 --> 0:41:47.280
<v Speaker 1>because you spend a lot of money in free agency

0:41:47.400 --> 0:41:50.680
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean you get the greatest players out there. And frankly,

0:41:50.719 --> 0:41:53.680
<v Speaker 1>when I look back at Steve's success, Steve has had

0:41:53.800 --> 0:41:56.760
<v Speaker 1>great success signing players that people have sort of forgotten

0:41:56.800 --> 0:41:59.000
<v Speaker 1>about a little bit after the draft. There are a

0:41:59.000 --> 0:42:02.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of great players out there. Being aggressive also means

0:42:02.120 --> 0:42:05.080
<v Speaker 1>being patient and taking the risk that great players are

0:42:05.080 --> 0:42:07.600
<v Speaker 1>going to be out there and having the confidence we'll

0:42:07.640 --> 0:42:10.440
<v Speaker 1>be able to sign them at the right time. Cardinal's

0:42:10.480 --> 0:42:14.000
<v Speaker 1>flight plan. Michael Bidwell and Steve Kime said it today. Well,

0:42:14.000 --> 0:42:16.960
<v Speaker 1>if he said the disadvantage and free agency is you

0:42:17.520 --> 0:42:20.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know the person. You can see the player on film,

0:42:20.120 --> 0:42:21.880
<v Speaker 1>you don't know the person. It's not like the draft

0:42:21.880 --> 0:42:23.640
<v Speaker 1>where you go to the combine you can interview him,

0:42:23.680 --> 0:42:25.120
<v Speaker 1>you can have one of these thirty visits. You know,

0:42:25.160 --> 0:42:27.160
<v Speaker 1>it's not the same that when free agency opens, you

0:42:27.200 --> 0:42:29.520
<v Speaker 1>don't have that ability to get to know the person.

0:42:29.600 --> 0:42:32.520
<v Speaker 1>And the immediate guy you think of most recently was

0:42:32.680 --> 0:42:35.839
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Phillips and how that did not work. No, you're

0:42:35.920 --> 0:42:39.120
<v Speaker 1>right about that, Polly. You know, once again, I'm sorry,

0:42:39.160 --> 0:42:43.840
<v Speaker 1>but the Cardinals were really aggressive last year in free agency.

0:42:43.960 --> 0:42:47.680
<v Speaker 1>We know that last off season, and this year not

0:42:47.800 --> 0:42:52.240
<v Speaker 1>so much according to other people. But again I think Polly,

0:42:52.360 --> 0:42:55.759
<v Speaker 1>that is by design. I think they looked at the

0:42:55.800 --> 0:42:58.880
<v Speaker 1>fact they were ten intwo and what made him ten intwo.

0:42:59.200 --> 0:43:02.720
<v Speaker 1>I go back to the five games that were played

0:43:02.800 --> 0:43:06.600
<v Speaker 1>with Max Williams, with Max Williams as a tight end,

0:43:06.600 --> 0:43:08.319
<v Speaker 1>and now all of a sudden, you're gonna bring zach

0:43:08.480 --> 0:43:13.080
<v Speaker 1>Ertz into that as well, Paullie. You put Max Williams

0:43:13.080 --> 0:43:16.760
<v Speaker 1>and zach Ertz on the field in rundown situation first

0:43:16.800 --> 0:43:19.880
<v Speaker 1>and ten second and one to six. There's gonna be

0:43:20.000 --> 0:43:24.920
<v Speaker 1>problems with James Connor as you're running back, and DeAndre Hopkins,

0:43:25.160 --> 0:43:27.879
<v Speaker 1>and who knows on the other side. Maybe it's Rondel Moore,

0:43:27.960 --> 0:43:30.799
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's Aj Green, maybe it's somebody else they go

0:43:30.840 --> 0:43:37.839
<v Speaker 1>out and get. But that could be real problems. It's undeniable.

0:43:37.880 --> 0:43:40.239
<v Speaker 1>The Arizona Cardinals were seven and ozho and they were

0:43:40.280 --> 0:43:43.080
<v Speaker 1>ten and two Paul and right now this free agent

0:43:43.120 --> 0:43:46.520
<v Speaker 1>period so far, Steve Kim and the Arizona Cardinals said

0:43:46.880 --> 0:43:50.040
<v Speaker 1>that was real, and we're gonna go out and try

0:43:50.080 --> 0:43:53.480
<v Speaker 1>to replicate it again. And you know, James Connor was

0:43:53.480 --> 0:43:55.200
<v Speaker 1>banged up at the end. I think you only played

0:43:55.239 --> 0:43:58.279
<v Speaker 1>two full games, was zach Ertz. So you get those

0:43:58.280 --> 0:44:01.040
<v Speaker 1>two together. You had Max Williams And for example, you

0:44:01.080 --> 0:44:02.480
<v Speaker 1>go through the draft and all of a sudden, or

0:44:02.480 --> 0:44:05.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe right before the draft, the Cardinals signed a veteran

0:44:05.280 --> 0:44:07.759
<v Speaker 1>edge rusher. Maybe they get a Jadeveon Clowney, maybe they

0:44:07.800 --> 0:44:10.279
<v Speaker 1>get a Carlos Dunlap of Melvin ingram On a one

0:44:10.360 --> 0:44:13.600
<v Speaker 1>year deal. Sting that John Abraham Twight Freeney type thing,

0:44:13.600 --> 0:44:15.960
<v Speaker 1>and that that does change the outlook of what they've

0:44:15.960 --> 0:44:19.000
<v Speaker 1>done in free agency to a significant degree, does it not? Well,

0:44:19.040 --> 0:44:21.560
<v Speaker 1>it does, especially when you look at the fact that

0:44:21.840 --> 0:44:25.319
<v Speaker 1>the Cardinals were number five in sacks per attempt the

0:44:25.440 --> 0:44:29.160
<v Speaker 1>year Chandler Jones didn't play but five games. He had

0:44:29.200 --> 0:44:32.080
<v Speaker 1>one sack in those five games, and the Cardinals overall

0:44:32.400 --> 0:44:35.200
<v Speaker 1>there were number five in sacks per a time because

0:44:35.200 --> 0:44:39.200
