Unleash the far What 13 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: rest and relaxation that you got, Ron Wolflee during the 14 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: Cardinals bye week. Yeah, that's my understanding. I mean you 15 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: were second only. You were second only to the Kardashians 16 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: in their own private island. My understanding, you thoroughly maximized 17 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: your enjoyment level on bye week. I was on a hiatus, Paul. 18 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 1: Let's just say that, in addition to your three day 19 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: weekend and everything else that went on with it. Whatever 20 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: enjoyment you had, even the slightest enjoyment, was still more 21 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: than the Arizona Cardinals roster. From our understanding. If you 22 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: listen to Larry earlier today, not only did they get 23 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: tested every single day, but he was in there working 24 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: out Thursday, Friday, Saturday. He was out on the field 25 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: running routes with plenty of other guys working on their 26 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: craft Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Now contrast that with last 27 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: year's bye week, and let's hope here as we kick 28 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: off this edition of the Big Red Rage presented by 29 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: santan Ford and Gilbert were santan Ford, there is cause 30 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: and effect as to the outcome and what we see 31 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: on the field one game day coming out of bye 32 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: week versus last year, No doubt about it, PAULI a 33 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: bye week of a different sword for the Arizona Cardinals 34 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: right now. But you know what, Honestly, I don't think 35 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a bad thing. I don't, especially because 36 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: of how they played the last time they were out 37 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: in between those white lines when they had the silks on. 38 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: It was Sunday night football in front of a grateful nation, 39 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: and what did they do. They beat the best team 40 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: in the NFC, and Paul, I honestly think right now, 41 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: the fact that they've sat on that for two weeks, 42 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: basically coming up to play the Miami Dolphins, they've sat 43 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: on that win, gone through the bye week, where they 44 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 1: haven't stepped away from the facility. I think that ultimately 45 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: is going to benefit them. I agree. And you know, 46 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: if they need a reminder that goes beyond the outcome 47 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: of last year's game coming out of the bye, the 48 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: thirty four seven home loss to the Rams, that was 49 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,119 Speaker 1: by far the worst game they played all series, all 50 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: season long. Think of Settle coming out of the bye. 51 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 1: They had the extra rest Cardinals on a short week 52 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: coming off Monday night, and that was the eighth straight 53 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: time in that situation that the team on the short 54 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: week playing a team out of the bye one. So, 55 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: if the Cardinals need a reminder of what can happen 56 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: coming out of a vibe, look at this Dolphins team 57 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: that has now won three in a row. It's sort 58 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: of role reversal Cardinals in Seattle. Now Dolphins and Cardinals. 59 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: Do you remember, Polly, are you a Seinfeld fan? Do 60 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: you remember the famous Seinfeld episode where George George Costanda. 61 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: He basically he came to a point in his life 62 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: where he was going to do everything differently, right, because 63 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: he was such a mess up. Anything that his natural 64 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: inclination was to do, he did the exact opposite right 65 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: when he introduced himself to the attractive females and my 66 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: name is George, I'm unemployed and I live with my parents. 67 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: Remember that, Polly, That right there is exactly the same approach. 68 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: I think Cliff Kingsbury brought to this bye week because 69 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: of what happened in twenty nineteen, and he told us 70 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: as much. Basically, everything that we did, I did differently. Yeah, 71 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: that is true, you're right. On his weekly TV show, 72 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: he just said it was time to do the opposite 73 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: based on last year is thirty four seven loss to 74 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: the Ramsers. And look, he was learning, everyone was learning, 75 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: and because of the circumstances and the pandemic, you could 76 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: only really go the opposite direction in a lot of ways. 77 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: Think about it. The Cardinals didn't play a game and 78 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: they had two wins. The player of the week, player 79 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: of the month, who, by the way, is going to 80 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: join us tonight in Buddha Baker and then they had 81 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: two losses. They lost two starters on defense, two positive tests. 82 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: We're gonna get into that. We're gonna see where the 83 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: Cardinals are right now. Yes, you have the defense which 84 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: is a top ten defense, and then you have the 85 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: number one total offense in the NFL. We'll get into 86 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: that as well. Just getting rolling Buddha Baker straight ahead 87 00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: on the big red rage, Chase Edmonds in the backfoot 88 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: with Murray third down in one of the twenty nine 89 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: four receivers set shotgun snap. It's a run play right side, 90 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: big hole Edmonds twenty five twenty ten five touchdown the 91 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,119 Speaker 1: inside zone being run and Chase Edmonds found the hole 92 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: and to the Hall's baby twenty nine yard touchdown run 93 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: on third down and one for Chase Edmonds. All four 94 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: of Chase Edmonds touchdowns at Medlife twenty yards are longer 95 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: ye three against the Giants a year ago, that one 96 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: against the Jets this season. The number one player in 97 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: the category of touchdown runs twenty yards or more over 98 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: the last season and a half. Chase Edmonds Wow. And 99 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: the guys right behind him, Christian McCaffrey, Lamar Jackson and 100 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry big back incredible, paul superstars who are right 101 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: behind a backup running back who was only received twenty 102 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 1: touches or more in a single game. And that was 103 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 1: the Giants game a year ago when he was the 104 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: featured back David Johnson dealing with an ankle injury. And 105 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: what do you do? He had one hundred and twenty 106 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: six yards rushing and three rushing touchdowns of twenty yards 107 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: or more. It is the Big Red Rage presented by 108 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: satan Ford and Gilbert. We are satan Ford and it 109 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: was interesting. Well, I saw one fantasy football breakdown this week, 110 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: because we all know you can you need as much 111 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 1: help as you can possibly get on your own fantasy football. 112 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: And anyway, they called the matchup Chase Edmonds against the 113 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: Dolphins rush defense, which is bottom five and yards per 114 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 1: carry allowed. They called it delicious. They didn't like the 115 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: match off. That's what they called it, Chase Edmonds against 116 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,239 Speaker 1: the Miami rush defense. You know, it's amazing about it, Paulie, 117 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 1: and I know you know this, so we've talked about 118 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: it many times. But the Arizona Cardinals they believe that 119 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds is an RB one. They believe he is 120 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,119 Speaker 1: a running back one. And he's just got to buide 121 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: his time, obviously with Kenyan Drake right here coming on 122 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: the transition tag in the off season, and we all 123 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: know how rton Kenyan Drake was to the Arizona Cardinals 124 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: offense and to their success in twenty nineteen. That second half, 125 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, just lighted a fire under this offensive 126 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: line in the offense overall, and they played so much 127 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: better in that second half. But right now, operating under 128 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: the transition tag, you don't know what the long term 129 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: impact is of that for Kenyan Drake. But Chase Edmonds, 130 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: I know the Cardinals think he's an RB one. So 131 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: the Cardinals offense right now top ten in scoring offense, 132 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: number two in rushing yards per game. That's the one 133 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: I think that most people would find very surprising. What 134 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: about you, Ron Willfully, especially after we went through last season. 135 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: We saw the second half of last season when it 136 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: was a different team once they got the run game 137 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: in gear. The biggest surprise for me though, Paully. Overall, 138 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: listen the rushing attack. There's no doubt about the fact 139 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: they're number two in yards per game and yards per played. 140 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: That is unbelievable. You put you put those two things 141 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: together and you get Kyler Murray and a much improved 142 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: offensive line. You get Eiler Murray and the ability to 143 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: run the ball and the impact he has schematically on 144 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: the front six, front seven, whatever it may be. The 145 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: box defensively is something you just can't dismiss. It is 146 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: an incredible, incredible power to an offense to be able 147 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: to have a quarterback that is going to tuck the 148 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: ball and get the edgeball because now you can't dig in, 149 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: so to speak, inside the box. It's helping the Arizona 150 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: Cardinals be a much better rushing team. But my biggest 151 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: takeaway statistically from the week is a fact the Arizona 152 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 1: Cardinals the number one offense in the National Football League 153 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: in terms of yards per game, the number one offense, 154 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: and all I think about are all the yards they've 155 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: left on the field. Yeah, they haven't even got it 156 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: in gear completely yet. They haven't had that lights out game, 157 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: and some guys on that team will tell you not 158 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: even close yet. Despite that, like you mentioned, their number 159 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: one in total offense and the guy wearing number one, 160 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: Q one, Kyler Murray was asked about the Oh, I 161 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: feel very good about where we are. No. It's just 162 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: progressing every single day, every game. I think we you know, 163 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: we have a better feel for what we are. Uh, 164 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: you know, we go out there and execute a lot better. 165 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: And I think it's I think it started a show 166 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: being the number one whatever rated offense. They you know, 167 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: it's not easy to do that in this league. You know, 168 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: I think we're doing something right. We're on the right track. 169 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: And now they go against the number one scoring defense 170 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: in the NFL, in the Miami Dolphins. What do you 171 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: think the Dolphins think of the Cardinals offense? Watching Kyler 172 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: and company on film? What do you think their biggest 173 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: takeaways are? Brian Floores in company that coaching staff, We've 174 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: got to stop Kyler Murray from throwing the ball to 175 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, right, I mean, honestly, that is number one 176 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: right there. It's amazing these guys. Did they play last week? 177 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: PAULI Did the Arizona Cardinals play last week? Paul? No? Okay, 178 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: thank you, Paul. They did not play, and yet Kyler 179 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: Murray and Deandrey Hopkins still leave the league as the 180 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: number one tandem in terms of receiving yards and of 181 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: course receptions. Think about that and first downs as well, Paul, 182 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: it is staggering, it really is. And considering the little 183 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: practice time that DeAndre Hopkins has had as well, and 184 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:21,319 Speaker 1: they still have that, it's impossible to think about. Right. 185 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 1: The guy doesn't practice a lot, man, and he doesn't 186 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: practice a lot, and all they do is go out 187 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: there and lead the league in receptions and receiving yards. 188 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 1: And I think we'd both agree there's a lot of 189 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,479 Speaker 1: room for improvement. I mean, and they are improving incrementally, 190 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: There's no doubt. Larry had eight grabs against Seattle, Christian 191 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: Kirk had two touchdown catches. To me, just the eyeball test, 192 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: it's more organic. For Kyler, it's coming to him. He's 193 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: not forcing it nearly as much. He seems to be 194 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: finding guys at the right times, different guys, and so 195 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: it is starting to evolve. And your point about Chase Edmund, 196 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: I mean that is well taken. What they looked like 197 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 1: in that second half. He is that energy guy, and 198 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: he makes so many of those first tackles, initial tacklers 199 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: miss and the old line we know DJ Humphrey has 200 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: told us last week, they really enjoy blocking. For a 201 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: guy like Chase Edmonds, it's just amazing to me. Once again, 202 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins. They can get better. You've 203 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: got a rushing attack that is growing and evolving. I 204 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,439 Speaker 1: don't think it's nowhere close to what it's gonna be 205 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: come late November, especially if Chase Edmonds is getting more 206 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: and more and more touches. Because this guy, it runs 207 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: a ball like a savage. There are ridiculous numbers out 208 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: there and historical stats like the Cardinals had more than 209 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: five hundred total yards against Seattle. That's the second time 210 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: under Cliff Kingsbury. In the twenty years prior combine, the 211 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: Cardinals gained five hundred plus yards only three times total, 212 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: and they haven't peaked yet. On offense, we're gonna talk 213 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: defense X do your player or the month in the NFC. 214 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: Bouda Baker on deck. Bodha Wilson takes and it's a 215 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 1: run up the middle. Carlos High gets whacked. Booda Baker 216 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: comes in there. You see the head snap back. The 217 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 1: old meat grinder is gonna be a run play to 218 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: Homer off the right side across the forty five. He 219 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: gets leveled at the forty seven yard line. Buddha Baker 220 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 1: came flying in there with a head to run play 221 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: off the middle of nowhere to go for Homer. Maybe 222 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: a loss on the play is Buddha Baker's in the 223 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: backfield and make the stick lop pass near side picked 224 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: off by Baker at the five, running left to the 225 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: ten to twenty. The chases on thirty forty fifty Metcalf 226 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: might catch him at the thirty pat the twenty. Baker 227 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: trying not run him Metcalf finally gets to him inside 228 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: the ten near the five yard line. But how about 229 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:55,719 Speaker 1: Buddha Baker, the Washington native. Buddha Baker redded, jumped it, 230 00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 1: picked it. Unbelievable turnament beat. It was high drama, there 231 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: is no doubt about that. On Sunday Night Football, the 232 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: guy from Seattle took it to Seattle and the hometown 233 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 1: Seahawks Cardinals get the win. We'll get into that momentarily. 234 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: It is the Big Red Race presented by santan Ford 235 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: and Gilbert. We are satan Ford, Paul calvic, Ron Wolfley, 236 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: and the NFC Defensive Player of the Month, Buddha Baker 237 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: coming off the bye Buddha, how's life?

What does it 241 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: mean to you, my friend? What does it mean to 242 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: be the defensive player of the month? Oh man, it 243 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: was definitely cool, definitely cool experience for me. You know, 244 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: for me, I just take it day by day, week 245 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: by week and just let everything handle itself. So it's 246 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: definitely it was definitely one of those things that, yeah, 247 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: it was. It's cool. But you know, at the end 248 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: of the day, you know, we still got a lot 249 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: of games left. Buddha. What if I told you that 250 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: the last Cardinals Defensive Player of the month was Chandler 251 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: Jones and we know you guys are close, right, that's 252 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: got to be meaningful to you. Oh yeah, man, that's 253 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: my guy. Yeah, and I knew that for sure. I 254 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: was believe it was last year, right, yep, it was 255 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: December last year. And by the way, well, what do 256 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: you always say about Chandler Jones and getting paid? Oh yeah, absolutely, 257 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: It's such a rare thing, Buddha that you'll have a 258 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: great player like that who gets paid and he actually 259 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: gets better, and you know that is you. I see 260 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: you and Chan being very very similar in your makeup mentally. 261 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: Is that accurate? Yeah, I mean, you know, that's that's 262 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: just one of those things. You know, you get paid 263 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: the big books. That means you gotta be that player 264 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: each and every game, each and every weekend. You know, 265 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: even without being paid for me and as well as Chen, 266 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: you always just want to do the best you can 267 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: and be the best you can. So you know, without 268 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: the money or what the money, we're always going to be. 269 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: I feel like going on to a greater level because 270 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: it means more to you, right, It means more to 271 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: you than just the money playing the game of football, 272 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: doesn't it. Yeah, of course, you know, I've been playing 273 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: the game since I was a young kid, and you know, 274 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: um know that I'm can be great in the game 275 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: and be a great player on and up the field. 276 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: And that's what I plan to do. Speaking of being 277 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: a kid and growing up in football and then a 278 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: guy in college who trained with a legion of Boom 279 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: and some of those Seahawks players, what does it mean 280 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: to be on the same field with that Seahawks team 281 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: and to be balling against those guys. Oh man, It's 282 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: definitely fun. Just because yeah, like when I go home, 283 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: that's who I trained with, so I know the work 284 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: those guys put in in the off season, so you know, 285 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: um seeing them on the field, and usually it's some 286 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: defensive guys like Bobby who having a kg right. Keep 287 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: seeing them on the fields, it's just a cool thing 288 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: to see, especially being you know, from back home. So yeah, 289 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: definitely always want to try and get the W so 290 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: we can we can talk about it in the offseason. Well, 291 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: what was your phone like when you got back to 292 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: your locker after the game, Buddha, I mean, how many 293 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: text messages from the two h six area code did 294 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: you have? Oh? Man, it was buzzing. A lot of numbers, 295 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: a lot of numbers, A lot of people I haven't 296 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: talked to in years as well. So it was definitely 297 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: one of those things where it was cool and a 298 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: lot of people make in front of me and jokes 299 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: because the DK caught me. But it was one of 300 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: those things where it's like, yeah, man, you're not invincible 301 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: for me, So it was cool. Speaking of cool, Buddha, 302 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: I haven't been able to ask you this. I know 303 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: you've been asked this a million times already, but I 304 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: have to hear it for myself. What did it mean 305 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: to you to get the Sea on that jersey? Oh man, 306 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: I mean a lot, just because you know, I hold 307 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: myself to a high standard on and off the field, 308 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: and you know, you know I would love to lead 309 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,959 Speaker 1: guys the way that I do, which is you know, 310 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: showing it on the field and as well as you know, 311 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: being that being that helper on the field as well 312 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: so on end off the field.

And if 314 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: you're wondering, you're out there listening, you're wondering what was 315 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: behind that? All you have to do is listened to 316 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: what Larry Fitzgerald said recently after Buddha Baker was awarded 317 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: the Sea. Here's fits nobody means more of this football 318 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 1: team than Buddha Baker. You can take that to the bank. 319 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: I mean, the guy plays the game, you know, the 320 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: right way. He works at it. He's humble, he's level headed, 321 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: and he plays the injury. He plays the game of 322 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: football like he's sick for four two hundred and eighty pounds. 323 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: The way he flies around and how selfless he is. 324 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: If he's asked the cover he's asked the Blitz, he's 325 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: asked to do whatever, play different positions. He knows it all. 326 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's the best of the best. Wow. 327 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 1: I mean that's Larry Fitzgerald and you know, yeah, I 328 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 1: mean that's that's gotta be real meaningful to you, Buddha. 329 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: Give us your reaction to what Larry just said about you.

Listen, I've been around 339 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: the game of football for a long long time, whether 340 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: I was playing it or broadcast again, whatever it may be. 341 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 1: I've been around it for three decades and I heard 342 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: a coach say something about you that I've never heard before. 343 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: It was Vans Joseph saying Buddha would run into darkness. 344 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: I mean that to me was the best description I've 345 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: ever heard. How you play the game. You play the 346 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: game with an abandon why, man, I just have I've 347 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: always played that way, and you know, I kudos to 348 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: everyone that's helped take care of me and you know, 349 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: go through injury and all that type of stuff. But 350 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: you know, for the most part, you know, I've I've 351 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: been healthy doing it. I've been taking care of my 352 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: body and you know, um, I'm still doing it at 353 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: a high level. So you know, I like that. I 354 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: like what VJ said right there. Yeah, you know, just 355 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: that's how I, you know, try and live like I say. 356 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: I always say no fear, and I definitely think you 357 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 1: can't have There are some guys, guys I am, there's 358 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 1: some guys, Buddha exactly there. You know what, I was 359 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: a blocking fullback, and I don't want to just bring 360 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: this back on me, Buddha, I don't, but I was bood. 361 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: I was six foot, two hundred and twenty two pounds 362 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: in an era where every fullback was two hundred and 363 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 1: fifty pounds, so I didn't have a lot of butt, 364 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: so to speak, right, and yet I wanted to let 365 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: those linebackers know. On every player I'm not afraid of you. 366 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: I am not afraid of you. And if you don't 367 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: believe me, watch this right. And I had to play 368 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 1: that way because I thought if guys thought I was 369 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: afraid of them, they played better than they actually were. 370 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 1: Is that Does that come into your way of thinking 371 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: at all? Yeah? I mean definitely sometimes for sure. You know, 372 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: if you that's uh, you know, if I'm coming in 373 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: on a tackle or something and I'm not really I'm 374 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 1: high or like, I'm not really into the tackle. Like 375 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: offensive players, they see that and they'd like to run 376 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: through that. So for me, you know, I'm always going 377 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: full speed, no spear, and I'm gonna hating it. Die 378 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: board and us about it.

If you guys did the bowling celebration 420 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: of what what'd you do with that football? Oh yeah, 421 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: that football is gonna be uh it's getting like signed 422 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: some some nice like a first interception you know, Dallas 423 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: Cowboys is getting you know, marked up so I can 424 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: hang it hanging in the house. So boda, you have 425 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: zero picks in the first fifty NFL games, you play it. 426 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: You have two in the last two, explain yourself, sir. Yeah, man, honestly, 427 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: like I really have got opportunities at the ball throughout 428 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: my career, and I've honestly just believed and the balls 429 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: will start coming my way, and um, you know, it'll 430 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: it'll start to get there. And you know, as a 431 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: starting now and I see the field very slow, I 432 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: see the ball slow. It just feels good, and you know, 433 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: I'm at a great, great moment, you know. And of 434 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: course Wolf two years ago, he was actually playing weak 435 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: side inside linebacker for some reason for a portion of 436 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: that season, so well that that might add something to 437 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: do about that, that's right. You know, I want to 438 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: know not not just about beating Seattle, but the way 439 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: you guys beat Seattle. You beat Seattle on Russell Wilson 440 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 1: at their own game. That was the first time he 441 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: ever lost a game up ten at halftime in the 442 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: regular season. To come back like that from ten down 443 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: multiple times and then win at the end. What does 444 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 1: that mean for this team? Just the evolution of a team, 445 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 1: because you know, when the NFL boot, you gotta win 446 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: those Cols games. Yeah, it just showed how resilient we were. 447 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: You know, it just showed us next man mentality. We 448 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: knew we had a you know, especially on defensive side. 449 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: We had a bad half. You know, the first half, 450 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: I think they scored I don't know how much, twenty 451 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: plus points and we knew that that was in us. 452 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: So second half we just try to come back there 453 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,160 Speaker 1: and grind it out. We knew Russell Wilson and Seahawks 454 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 1: we're going to make plays, and we just got next, 455 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: next play mentality and next claim mentality. You know, finally 456 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: at the end, last play at the game, kicked that 457 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: field goal to win the game. It was a great feeling. 458 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: It's just incredible the resiliency once again that you guys showed. 459 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: And as a former player, man, I stand and I 460 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,439 Speaker 1: salute all of you guys for hanging in there and 461 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 1: balling out because there were two three times in that 462 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: game where I think a lesser team may have walked away. 463 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: The next step for you guys as a team collectively 464 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: Buddha to me, it's listen, you've beat San Francisco, one 465 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: of the best teams in the NFC at the time 466 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: Week one when they had ever all their players that 467 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: were still one of the best teams in the NFC, 468 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,360 Speaker 1: you beat them. You beat the Seattle Seahawks, who were 469 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,159 Speaker 1: the best team in the NFC, you beat them in 470 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: front of a great full nation on Sunday Night football. 471 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden, you're playing a team 472 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: at home that you guys should beat. I think this 473 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: is the next step in your maturation as a team 474 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 1: collectively to beat the teams you should beat. Do you agree, yeah, 475 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 1: of course, But also I mean in this league, everyone 476 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 1: can beat everyone. You know, there's not no given wins. 477 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: You always have to work from. And you know, last 478 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: year coming out good Bye, we had a terrible game 479 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: against the Rams. So we've had this game on our mind, 480 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: you know ever since we had to buy and just 481 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 1: to come back like the Arizona Cardinals that we believe 482 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 1: we can beat. It is going to be something that 483 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: we're gonna try and do and hopefully will do. Buddha 484 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 1: Baker on the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford 485 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: and Gilbert.

At least this week after the 489 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: positive COVID test. What sort of adjustments do you guys 490 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: have to make? Yeah, man, it's just next men mentality. 491 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: You know, we we're going to run our Cardinals defense 492 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: like we do. Byron Murphy and devonkan Arder are great, 493 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: they're starters. Like you said, they're great guys, great players, 494 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: show a lot of great juice. We're going to be 495 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 1: missing them on the field, But like I said, it's 496 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: next man mentality. The guys that were that we're backing 497 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: them up, are ready to go, and you know, we're 498 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: just excited for an opportunity to play good football after 499 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 1: the bye week. But if I said to you that 500 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: you were the number twenty seven team in the National 501 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: Football League in allowing first downs, number twenty seven in 502 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,439 Speaker 1: the National Football League and allowing first downs, but the 503 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: number two red zone team in the league right defensively, 504 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: and of course the number one Gold the Gold team 505 00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,719 Speaker 1: defensively in the league, do those stats speak to you 506 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: at all? And if so, what does that mean? Yeah? 507 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 1: I mean for us, definitely, a first down one stuck 508 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: out to me. You know, we definitely want to do 509 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: better on first down, and for us, it's it's like 510 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: you said, went on first down, went on third down, 511 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: and U do really get in the red zone. And 512 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, the biggest stat is 513 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: a W. And that's what we want to do each 514 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,880 Speaker 1: each and every week. If you told me these last 515 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: eight games we're gonna give up thirty points and we 516 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: were gonna win every single game, I'll take that W. 517 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: But for us, you know, like our our goal is 518 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: to never allowed thirty points and just giving analogy first off, 519 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: but yeah, our our goal is to be the best 520 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: defense in all categories and get W. So we're gonna 521 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: strive and work hard and grind each and every day 522 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: to get there. So you're waiting to get Byron Murphy 523 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: and Devon Knard back. But now you have Marcus Golden back. 524 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: Buddha tell us about his energy. I say, he met 525 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: the media yesterday. He's about three minutes into a zoom 526 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: press conference. I was in a three point stance. I mean, 527 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: this guy just fires me off. What does he do 528 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: for that locker room? Yeah, like you said, the energy, 529 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: You know, Margus Golden has great energy. He's a great guy, 530 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: a great football player. And excited to have him back 531 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: because you know, I was with him for the for 532 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: the years he was here, and man, I can't wait 533 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: to see him play because I know he's gonna ball out. 534 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: He excited to be a Cardinal. He has so much 535 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: passing for the game. So you know, I'm definitely excited 536 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: to see Mark's golden back out there. How much do 537 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: you really care about your Madden rating? Come on, Buddha, 538 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, how much do you really care about that? Yeah? 539 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: I mean I don't. I don't play mad but I 540 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: mean if I were to played against someone, I would 541 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: play them, But I don't really play on my leisure time. Um. 542 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: Usually that's that's for my little nephews. Him. Um, you know, 543 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: my niece, they played video games and they played Madden. 544 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,719 Speaker 1: So it's it's definitely funny to hear them tell me 545 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: that my Maddening ratings are going up or down. So um, yeah, 546 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: I mean for me, Yeah, I mean I don't. I 547 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: don't really care much about it. That's stunning, to be honestly. 548 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it just seems like everybody your age loves Madden. 549 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: Who's known as the guy to beat, Who's the Madden 550 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: champ in the Cardinals locker room? I know when it 551 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: comes to chess, Kyler is number one, and he's pretty 552 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: good at video games as well. But what about Madden. Yeah, 553 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean I would probably say maybe 554 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: K one's a big maddened player. I believe um Shaman 555 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: might think he's the best, but he's probably not because 556 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: I beat him um Byron maybe you know, probably then 557 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: that's good. Well, I've seen Larry playing some chests too. 558 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I don't know what video games, 559 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: but Larry's been playing some chess, so you know, he's 560 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: trying to frush up and maybe get in that same 561 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: league have a competitive match with Kyler Murray going forward. 562 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: We'll see about that. We'll continue. Buddha Baker your NFC 563 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: defensive Player of the Month, coming off a fourteen tackle 564 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: game against the Seahawks. It is the big red rage 565 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: presented by Satan forward and Gilbert half to play Wilson 566 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: quick throw to the new Yar. Sid didn't complaint Reddick 567 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: had great coverage that time. Hasan Reddick continues to volve 568 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: great job of covering. Then that is big time Hassan Reddick. 569 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,719 Speaker 1: Hasan Reddick seems to be just playing, not thinking anymore, 570 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: just playing, and he looks like a different guy. Five 571 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: step drop Wilson and trouble gets hit, gets sacked and 572 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: guess who rising star Asan Reddick and showing what he 573 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: can do as a pass rusher. Hassan Reddick, Chicken it 574 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: great play. He's got five sacks now on the year, 575 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: playing the position he played in college. Yeah, some great 576 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: calls there from Passion Wolf, your Voice of the Cardinals. 577 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: It is the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford 578 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: and Gilbert. We are talking with Buddha Baker, NFC defensive 579 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: Player of the Month that fourteen tackles in the pick 580 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: against Seattle. But listen to Hassan Reddick and how many 581 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: times he had his name called Buddha. He had eleven tackles, 582 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: the sack, three tackles for loss, three quarterback hits. He's 583 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: been living in the backfield. You know, different position, different 584 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: player this season, Hassan Reddick. Huh oh, yeah for sure. 585 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: You I mean he's back at his position that he 586 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: played in college. He's so versat all. He can set 587 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: the edge in the run game, rest the passer and 588 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 1: then as he's seen in um you know versus Seahawks, 589 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: go out wide on a running back in Garden. So 590 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: you know, he's been great for us, and he's he's 591 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: got to continue to be great for us. You know. Obviously, 592 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 1: losing a guy like Chandler Jones, of course said, impacts 593 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: your defense in a big, big way. Vans, Joseph. Do 594 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: you think is he's scheming more? Are you guys scheming 595 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: more to get pressure on a quarterback and third nabbious 596 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: past situations than you have in the past. I mean, 597 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, of course, Chandler Chandler Jones 598 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 1: is you know somebody you can't really replace. One person 599 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: can't replace him. Um, it's a whole defensive, collective, collective 600 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 1: effort is going to replace Chandler Jones. So um, you 601 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 1: would kind I would kind of say maybe, yeah, a 602 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: little bit, just because you know, a Chander you didn't 603 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: have to, you know, uh pressure much. I mean, he 604 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: was going to get in the backfield. He's going to 605 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: cost les to to throw. So I mean, us doing 606 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 1: different things is definitely helping us out, you know, going 607 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 1: after the qv and uh. But you know, guys like 608 00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: Cassan and guys like Marcus and m DK when he 609 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: comes back, guys like Kylie sits like those and Dennis 610 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: Guardick like those guys are all going to have him 611 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: to continue to play great force, and I believe they 612 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 1: will and hopefully they can you know, pick up the slep. 613 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: I mean, just the fact that Russell Wilson had three 614 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 1: picks against the Cardinals defense, and he came into the 615 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: game with three picks in five games total. That that 616 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 1: illustrated that he saw a few different things, perhaps in 617 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: that second half and over time. And now this Cardinal's 618 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 1: past defense is getting Jaalen Thompson back. And here's Vance 619 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: Joseph and what he said about your fellow starting safety today. 620 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: He brings a speed factor to our defense that Buddha brings. 621 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 1: You know, he's he's not quite booty yet, but he 622 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: has some of those qualities for us tackling and how 623 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 1: fast he plays and his ability to walk over a 624 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: slot and play man to man with comfort, you know 625 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: as a corner wood. So this this kid is a 626 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: is a good football player and we've missed him. Interesting. 627 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: How is Jaalen Thompson looked? And what do you think 628 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 1: he brings now to this defense? Spot him? Yeah, just 629 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: what bj said, that's what he definitely brings. But uh, 630 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,959 Speaker 1: you know, he's little bro and he went to Washington State, 631 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 1: so of course we have a college rivalry. But yeah, 632 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: that little brow, he's he's he's got jews, and you know, 633 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,919 Speaker 1: I feel like people haven't really been able to see 634 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 1: that yet just because you know, last year it's kind 635 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 1: of a rotation. Then he got the spot, and this 636 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: year he you know, got hurt the first game of 637 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 1: the season. So yeah, I'm definitely excited to have JT 638 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 1: back in Um, you know, like he said, he can 639 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 1: cover tight ends, can cover receivers, um, he can blitch 640 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 1: off the edge, you know. So I'm definitely very excited 641 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: to have him back and uh, you know, hopefully hopefully 642 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: he'll show up, you know what, buddh speaking of that 643 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 1: right there, I mean all the movements. You're the X 644 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,879 Speaker 1: factor for the Arizona Cardinals. Where is your favorite place 645 00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 1: to play on the field? Yeah, man, depends, you know, 646 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: it depends, like it's like down the distance, uh, you know, 647 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 1: a quarter, Like I don't know. It's so hard for 648 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:15,320 Speaker 1: me just because, like you know, I've definitely always have 649 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 1: learned a lot about the game, especially being with these 650 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 1: you know, three different coaching staffs, learning three new defenses 651 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,839 Speaker 1: three four or four or three. Like you just learning 652 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: a lot of football, watching a lot of film. You know, 653 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 1: there's I love to be in different spots. So if 654 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 1: it's like a maybe like a third and short situation 655 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 1: and I know they're gonna run, you know, I would 656 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: like to you know, maybe blitz or go down and 657 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: go on the box and maybe get a TfL or 658 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,800 Speaker 1: something like that. If it's third and long, I like 659 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 1: to be you know, usually in the post or um 660 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,759 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, higher higher back on the defense. So 661 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 1: it all depends on you know, what type of game 662 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 1: it is. Where we add in the game. You know, 663 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 1: Jalen Thompson when we saw him last year and I 664 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 1: think we all looked at ourselves said, you know what 665 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 1: this kid can play is and we saw him tackle 666 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: in the open field. That's your you know, signature part 667 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 1: of your game as well. What makes a great open 668 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 1: field tackler? Huda in your opinion? For me, I believe 669 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,919 Speaker 1: it's just like angles, you know, angles at the ball, 670 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 1: knowing knowing where the running back is gonna want to 671 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: run to and being there at the appropriate time. You know, 672 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 1: a lot of times guys get shopped because they took 673 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: too long to get there. So just being able to 674 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 1: get to the ball. You know, you're being a safety. 675 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,840 Speaker 1: We're not really accounting for a lot of the time. 676 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,239 Speaker 1: So if we get in there, you know, nine times 677 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 1: out of ten we're going to be that free guy. 678 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: So just getting in there early enough, using the proper 679 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 1: angles of of course, you know, keeping your head up 680 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,359 Speaker 1: and making the tackle, hitting that dive ward and wrapping up. 681 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 1: And Jalen Thompson does that really good, really great. I 682 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 1: mean he got hurt making an open field tackle that 683 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 1: you know, if he would have missed that, the guy 684 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 1: might have scored a touchdown. So you know, definitely excited 685 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 1: to have him back. And like I said, and yeah, yeah, 686 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,320 Speaker 1: you know, it's amazing about a booty. Right now, you 687 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 1: guys are sitting here at five and two, right coming 688 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,879 Speaker 1: off the buy five and two, two really quality wins. 689 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 1: I realized every win is a quality win in the 690 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 1: National Football League. But you'd be two of the best 691 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 1: teams in the NFC, and the NFC West is as 692 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,600 Speaker 1: tough as it is right now, you guys got to 693 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:39,919 Speaker 1: be feeling really really good about where you're at. Um. Yeah, 694 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,400 Speaker 1: I mean, we of course wouldn't like to lose against 695 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,480 Speaker 1: Detroit at home, and then that Carolina game. I know, 696 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 1: I was, I was there. I would have loved to 697 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: play that game, but like I had surgery, so you know, 698 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,359 Speaker 1: just on the sideline watching. So that was definitely hard 699 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,080 Speaker 1: to see because I just wanted to be on the 700 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 1: field with my with my guys. But uh, you know, 701 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 1: after that, we've just been taking it game by game 702 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: and everything's been falling for us. So you know, not 703 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 1: forget about a Miami Dolphins team who's undefeated in the 704 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 1: NFC West right now. They need for the Niners in 705 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 1: the Rams, so you know they're they're going to come 706 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,319 Speaker 1: in feeling good and um, you know, hopefully we can 707 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,440 Speaker 1: we can play good Cardinal football. Get to w it. 708 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,959 Speaker 1: Don't take any stuff from any of your Seahawks loving 709 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 1: buddies either. Okay, on the whole DK Metcalf thing, I mean, 710 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,839 Speaker 1: the dude hit twenty two point six four miles per hour. 711 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 1: He's the biggest freak in the NFL right now. We 712 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 1: saw it against the Niners defense. He torched him and 713 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: you guys contained him. So you know, I don't stay 714 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 1: for that stuff from those guys hitting up your phone 715 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,759 Speaker 1: from Seattle Okay, okay, there boot him. Oh yeah, you're right, 716 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: you're right, and oh yeah you're Miami did thus the Seattle, 717 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,279 Speaker 1: so that Miami's not undefeated, but they did just need 718 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,319 Speaker 1: an NFC Sea West team in the Rams last week, 719 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,320 Speaker 1: so yeah, they're definitely U. M b Rady. Hey, Buddha, 720 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:06,879 Speaker 1: just keep running into darkness, all right, big guy? Love 721 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,319 Speaker 1: it man, God bless your bro. Thank you, Buddha. It's 722 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 1: been a pleasure to watch it. And we saw what 723 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 1: the Cardinals looked like without Buddha at Carolina. So that's 724 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,799 Speaker 1: all you really need to know, was that single game 725 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,879 Speaker 1: right there. We'll come back. We'll wrap up this edition 726 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,840 Speaker 1: of the Big Red Rage presented by satan Ford in Gilbert. 727 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: Here comes pressure. Warner gets to pass away near side, 728 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 1: caught Fitzgerald the midfield, breaks a tackle at the forty 729 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 1: deer side thirty five and dropped at the thirty yard line. 730 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 1: Warner takes the snap short set can a fire deep. 731 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,680 Speaker 1: Fitzgerald on the jump ball, of course, pulled it in 732 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 1: the forty, breaks a tackle forty bucks, spins out of 733 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 1: another dear side, boarding thirty fits plumy fifteen ten and 734 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: tracked down at the five yard line by Will Allen 735 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,919 Speaker 1: jump ball and Fitzgerald came down with it. Weren't gonna 736 00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,799 Speaker 1: throw the right side, Fitzgerald. All that pass was right 737 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: on the money and fitz caught it with one hand 738 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,799 Speaker 1: with Will Allen draped all over him. I think right 739 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,920 Speaker 1: now Larry Fitzgerald could catch a ball with his dress. 740 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,800 Speaker 1: It was Kurt Warner throwing to Larry fitzhild against that 741 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 1: Miami defense two thousand and eight when Larry went six 742 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 1: grabs a buck fifty three, a seventy nine yard catch 743 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,279 Speaker 1: an Quon Bold and a half dozen grabs for one 744 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,840 Speaker 1: hundred and forty yards receiving three touchdowns, including a seventy 745 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,400 Speaker 1: nine yard touchdown. And that was the last of Kurt 746 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:33,480 Speaker 1: Warner's three perfect passerating games of his career in a 747 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,720 Speaker 1: thirty one ten win by the Cardinals over the Dolphins 748 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 1: at State Farm Stadium. Just incredible to hear that once again. 749 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,440 Speaker 1: It brings back so many memories does in a bully 750 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 1: And I remember twenty sixteen, the most recent meeting, when 751 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,840 Speaker 1: it was an absolute deluge, I mean just a downpour 752 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,439 Speaker 1: and a half in Miami. So thank goodness for State 753 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,279 Speaker 1: Farm Stadium. On Sunday going against the Dolphins team in 754 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 1: Buddha set it. They've already beaten the Rams, They've already 755 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 1: beaten the Niners. They're on a three game winning streak 756 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 1: of their own. They have the number one scoring defense 757 00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,839 Speaker 1: in the NFL, even though they gave up a lot 758 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,439 Speaker 1: of yards to an LA Rams team that that Wolf, 759 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, m two takeaways from their 760 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 1: win over the Rams. A Dolphins played harder, they were 761 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 1: more physical, They played harder, and b they did some 762 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: things to confuse Jared Goff and Sean McVay. I don't 763 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 1: know if they can get away with that against Kyler Murray, 764 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 1: but they were ultra aggressive. Some of the Rams players 765 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 1: said they've never seen a defense blitz like that. Yeah, 766 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 1: you know what, Polly, I know what you're saying right here. 767 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,920 Speaker 1: But I look at the numbers and some of the 768 00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:39,240 Speaker 1: plays that that defense gave up four hundred and seventy 769 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 1: one yards out to the Rams, thirty one first downs 770 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 1: to eight. The Rams ran nineties two plays to the 771 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins forty eight. Paul, I mean, there's just there 772 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,799 Speaker 1: were some moments that the Miami Dolphins played better, more 773 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 1: physical than the Rams. There were moments where they did 774 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,680 Speaker 1: and they were moments that were takeaway moments, which we 775 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,640 Speaker 1: all know how critical and important that is. They did 776 00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,880 Speaker 1: a great job of taking the ball away. But my goodness, 777 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:13,840 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams destroyed the Miami Dolphins in every area, 778 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 1: say for one, the scoreboard. Well, and right now, not 779 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,440 Speaker 1: only do they have the number one scoring defense, they 780 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 1: have the number two third down defense. So there's some 781 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 1: intriguing matchups. And then you look at TWA. I mean, 782 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 1: you want to talk about exotic blitz packages based on 783 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,040 Speaker 1: advanced Joseph did in the second half of overtime against 784 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and experienced Russell Wilson. I gotta imagine he's 785 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,600 Speaker 1: gonna show the rookie quarterback making his second start of 786 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,799 Speaker 1: his career a little bit of everything on Sunday. Yeah, 787 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:44,919 Speaker 1: there's no doubt about that, Paula. I think he's gonna 788 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 1: mix it up as well. Listen, I just think overall, 789 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,320 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals are the better football team than the 790 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:54,440 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. They're playing at home. This is a critical 791 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:58,800 Speaker 1: game for me, PAULI. When I'm talking about the team 792 00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 1: perspective of the Cardinals and where they're going right now, 793 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,400 Speaker 1: the opportunity, Paul, to be six and two at the 794 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,839 Speaker 1: halfway point of the season. Six and two, Paul, it's 795 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,400 Speaker 1: right in front of them. A Miami Dolphins team that 796 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,320 Speaker 1: has struggled in the past. Now they're above five hundred 797 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,799 Speaker 1: this year. But they're starting a quarterback that is making 798 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 1: his second start in the NFL and it wasn't like 799 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 1: he lit it up at his first start. This is 800 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 1: a game I think the Arizona Cardinals have got to 801 00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:30,080 Speaker 1: go out and play with the intensity and in the 802 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,880 Speaker 1: respect for the Miami Dolphins and put it on the line. 803 00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,160 Speaker 1: They're the better team, go prove it. It was a 804 00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,239 Speaker 1: lesson learned after the Lions and Carolina loss, at least 805 00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,799 Speaker 1: according to the players, that you have to bring that energy. 806 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:44,960 Speaker 1: We'll see if it's a lesson learned based on the 807 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,000 Speaker 1: loss after the buy a year ago against the Rams 808 00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,160 Speaker 1: and what the Cardinals look like against Miami on Sunday 809 00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,520 Speaker 1: Special Thanks as always, Jim, i'mnro, Cody Fincher, Buddha Baker, 810 00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,680 Speaker 1: a special guests for Run We'll play Off, Paul KELBC. 811 00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,640 Speaker 1: This has been the Big Red Rage presented by Santan 812 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:08,400 Speaker 1: four Ward in Gilbert Number one til You've been listening 813 00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:12,760 Speaker 1: to the Big Red Rage presented by Santanford in Gilbert, 814 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:17,720 Speaker 1: Are you Santanford State Farm Talk to an Agent today 815 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:22,759 Speaker 1: at eight hundred State Farm and by Arizona Cardinals Podcasts 816 00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:27,319 Speaker 1: visit Acy Cardinals dot com Slash Podcasts.
