It was twenty seventeen and 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.200 the Cardinals made a moving round two, made a move 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:53.920 to the top around two, and we're all wondering, well, why, 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.120 what exactly is going on? And the man they drafted 0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.280 is with us here tonight and we've seen exactly why. 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:01.800 Because he's been a difference maker.

Everyone nice, nice man. 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:16.320 Do you do you feel as good as you look 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:20.679 right now? You look out standing?

Man? 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.840 You know, I've been thirty two my whole life, little league, 0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:00.600 you know, middle school, high school, going to the college, 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:04.720 thirty two, you know NFL, you know, as as you 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.480 guys you know, knew. My first couple of years, a 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.200 great Tyron Matthew was number thirty two, one of the 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.720 guys that you know, I look up to, very great player. 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.040 And then you know, once he left, you know, I 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.400 kind of waited another year. Then that next year I 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.160 tried to get my number back in. It was definitely exciting, 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:23.600 definitely felt great, and then going into that fourth year 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.359 was definitely also exciting. Great All Pro honors, all that 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:29.880 type stuff. It was all cool, but you know, once 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.960 they allowed the single digits, I was like, man, I 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.480 gotta go to single digits. I gotta do something new, 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:39.240 you know, my own identity, my own you know legacy. 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.720 It's gonna be in that number three. So I'm definitely 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:45.040 excited for sure. Well, he's gonna put his autograph on 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.120 this jersey. So there will be one attend here, one 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.200 Cardinals fan, lucky fan, who will win this by the 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.280 end of the night. Will this be the first ever 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:59.720 officially autographed Brudebaker number three jersey? Yeah? First we need 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.520 like a number on this, you know, yeah, exactly. So, Hey, 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.960 I've not signed any signatures. This will be the only one.

What kind 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:11.840 of check did you have to write? He wanted to 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:13.680 ask you the TMZ question, you know, I mean, it 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.840 would have cost you exactly to make this move, man, 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.560 was it was a good, good, good piece of amount. 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:24.080 Don't look at Paul question. Just put that put a 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:29.200 five onto that three and that's how much it was. Right, 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.839 Let's see you sign up a truck driver here. You know, 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.919 it's an investment in your marketing future. Okay, you mentioned 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.320 that the schedule we see you on here. We barely 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.160 recognize you wearing the number three. We got to get 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:43.279 used to us. Let's talk about the first installment of 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.320 the schedule of first four games, by the way, the 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.320 preseason out of the gates on the cardinal schedule, Dallas 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.200 and Casey at home at New Orleans. Remember three preseason 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.640 games because the seventeen game regular season. Wolf's pumping his 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.760 fist on that one. I'm with you, you guys open 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.400 at Tennessee. Give me a few thoughts and going against 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:04.520 Ryan Tannehill, Derek Henry, Yeah, exactly, few thoughts. One thought 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:08.800 is Derek Henry. You know, uh played against my rookie year, 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.400 but you know they you know, it wasn't used as much. 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.840 But now seeing him in Tennessee, see what he's doing 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:18.520 is definitely special and definitely gonna be excited to tackle him. 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.880 So that's a physical team right there, kind of like 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.960 Minnesota in week number two, your first home game of course, 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:28.600 but the Minnesota Vikings liked to pound it too, boat up, Yeah, exactly, 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.440 great run game as well, Dalvin Cook got him, got 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.960 him cooking over there, and definitely excited to play against 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.400 them as well. The great P two Nations. He's gonna 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.760 come back already. Hey man, you know Pat as well 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.360 as anyone. How fired up is Pat pe gonna be 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.680 for Week two back in the ac Oh? Yeah, he 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:48.640 gonna be fired up. He will. He will definitely be 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.080 fired up. And uh hopefully he's my dog and all 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.400 I love you P two, but hopefully he doesn't have 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.880 a good day that game. All right. Now, about going 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.800 against the rookie quarterback this this could be the first 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:03.760 of three rookie quarterbacks. You go against Trey Lance justin 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:06.080 fields maybe, but you know you're gonna be going against 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.920 Trevor Lawrence in week three. Yeah, that's Sunshine. That's what 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:13.640 he reminds me of. Sunshine. So, uh, definitely a guy 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.960 coming from Clemson who's definitely played great football over there. 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.880 It's definitely gonna be exciting to play against the rook 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.560 So then you travel in week number four, you travel 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:28.479 to LA to play the Rams with Matthew Stafford as 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.400 their quarterback. How do you expect that offense to look 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:35.039 to you? Do you expect it to look different? Oh? Man, 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:38.360 I kind of honestly and definitely yeah, They're definitely a 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.880 run boot team. But with Matthew Stafford, I think he's 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:45.120 gonna put a whole another, you know, whole another specialtiated 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.680 to the Rams. So he's definitely a great quarterback. And uh, 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:53.240 you know he he disokated my finger with the last game, 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.960 so you know, he throws the ball very fast, very hard, 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.000 great arm. Definitely gonna be excited to go after him. 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.760 Rich One, boodh one. Got it my left one, my 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:06.000 left left index finger. Yeah, this one right, Okay, at 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:11.840 the time, I already had the thumb, so yeah, it 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.239 went all the way back. It was a third, third 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.080 and long, so thankfully we had to get off the 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.160 field right there, so I was definitely I was able 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:24.160 to get it, you know, put back to play former. Okay, 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.840 we want to know the details of you still have 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:28.800 a cast on one of those hands when you made 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.640 your first career pick at Dallas, Right, yeah, I did. 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.120 I did first career. People said I don't have hands, 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:38.280 but I just I feel like I don't get much opportunities. 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.080 I definitely think I have hands, And you know, that 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:44.040 first pick definitely showed you a little bit about my hands. 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.080 With that cast, it was it was a big whole thing. 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:50.960 So if you ever try to use something without your thumb, 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:55.520 it's definitely hard. So Buddha, on these first four games, 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:58.280 is there one that stands out to you? Is there 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.880 one that you say, Man, these first four games right here, 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:05.440 what's the one game that might stand out to you? Oh? Man, 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:09.320 I'm a very I'm a guy who believes in week one, 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.480 take it one day at a time, one week at 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.360 a time. So for me, would definitely be Tennessee in 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:18.480 Tennessee ten a in game as you guys see, and yeah, 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.040 out to be Week one. So the one I'm looking 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:23.400 forward to the most is definitely Week one, and that's 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:25.960 gonna be the fur is gonna fly. I think that 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:29.360 is going to be maybe the most physical game up 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.920 those first four games right there. It's not only the 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.600 fact that the Tennessee Titans run the ball so well, 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.280 it's also the fact that I think we're gonna try 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:42.400 to attack them and they're rushing defense as well. I 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.320 think they're gonna try to run the ball in between 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:48.320 the tackles against the Titans because they struggled with that well. 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.040 And we know the objective of Steve Kaine building this 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:55.080 team in the offseason, physicality has been job one. Booty. 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.360 I know you've heard that and he's proved that based 0:08:57.400 --> 0:08:59.200 on the guys he's signed and the guys he's brought 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.760 in and the guys he's drafted. That seems to be 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.559 a major focus this offseason. You guys are gonna be 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.440 tested right out of the game in that regard, aren't you. Yeah, exactly, 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:10.199 like you said, great running back in Dereck Henry, He's 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:13.400 a great running back, huge, big guy who who's not 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.680 afraid to hit the whole. And then like you said 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.120 with Tannehill, he got he got guys on the outside 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.760 who can you know, run the great over routes and 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:22.880 the post routes and the and the slant routes that 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:26.720 get him. You know those yack yards, so definitely. And 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.160 you know what single game tickets are on sale right now. 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.520 You go to zy Cardinals dot com, slash game ticks. 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:35.320 That's asy Cardinals dot com, slash gme t i X, 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:38.439 that's game t i X, and that's your website, and 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.080 they're on sale right What do you look for when 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:42.600 you look at a schedule when it comes out? Is 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.720 there anything in particular you look at first? A wolf 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.600 mentioned by you obviously want to know where that stacks up. 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:51.560 Is there anything else in terms of rivalries or weather. 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.120 What do you glance at first? Yeah, you know, I 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.440 glanced at the end of the year. Uh, you know 0:09:57.520 --> 0:09:59.800 the away games that we have, So right here is 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:04.520 these black are away games for Chicago week thirteen. I 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:06.800 look at that. That's gonna be a cold game. So 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:11.280 I'm getting ready for that mentally, But honestly, like I said, 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.920 one week at a time, I'm just only thinking about 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.360 the team at hand. So right now, first game of 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:19.640 the season is going to be the Tennessee Titans. I 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:21.800 used to hate the bye boat. I did. I don't 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:23.800 want to get into the reasons why I don't. I'm 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:25.280 holding you know. I don't want to get into the 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.400 reasons why the bye I couldn't stand it. But the 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:32.360 bye week is the twelfth week of the season. Do 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.360 you like that? Do you like where the bye week is? 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:38.760 I mean me, I definitely like it. You know, if 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:42.000 anybody who knows me and who's a fan of me. 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:45.120 My girlfriend is actually pregnant, so her due date is 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:49.600 actually November twenty fifth to November twenty eight, So that's 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:54.360 so we've gotta win her. Hopefully it's that bye week, 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:56.920 you know, disappear for a few days. Help the lady. 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:59.000 Did you call Roger Goodell and say, you know what, hey, 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.720 rog Man, n me out with this bye week?

Wolf You remember 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.800 Umber against Seattle the ot win at home right, and 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.480 he had Sunday night football and Buddha Bicker against his 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.720 hometown team. Fourteen tackles, He had the pick, he had 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.360 the tackle for loss, he had a past defense, and 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.760 then you had at Dallas a Monday night football. He 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:16.520 had seven tackles, had a sack at pick number one. 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.319 I mean, think of I mean too many stats the 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.680 list right there in primetime you were at your best. 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.640 What is it about the national TV slot? Perhaps it 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:28.480 gets the best audio? Oh man, I don't know. Honestly, 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:33.160 That's been how I been since I was young, high school, college. 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:36.160 Every every time the lights are on in those national 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:39.920 stage games, I seem to do I feel like what 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.839 I always do. But a lot of people see, you know, 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:46.559 on national TV. So it's definitely, uh, definitely something that 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:48.959 I want to continue to do for sure. Buddha, What 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:51.920 is your demeanor before a game? Because I just heard 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:58.600 the crazy laugh there? You couldn't you let the crazy 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.839 laugh out right there? Is? That's kind of who you 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.320 are before you start the games. Do you let yourself 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:07.280 tap in to that side of you? Yeah? I do? 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:10.280 I do? You know? Early on, you know, driving to 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.320 the stadium or on the bus going to wherever stadium 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:16.000 we're going, I usually listened to like our R and 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:20.440 B music, you know, cool music, just chilling, lovey devy 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:23.960 chill music, and just you know, let my emotions settle 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:26.400 and just you know, hang out and chill and then 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.920 once we once we start the pregame, that's when I 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.280 listened to my you know, my rap music or heavy, 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:35.120 heavy tempo music. And then we go back in and 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.480 once I come out, you know, that's where my character 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:43.000 comes out. So the excitement, passion's just excitement for the game, 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.120 because when you've been miked up, you've had a lot 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:47.840 of great moments. There's been a lot of mean whether 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:51.760 it's you reacting or talking or pumping other guys up. 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:53.880 So look, let's take a look at the next eight 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.000 games in the Cardinal schedule and by the way, three 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:58.680 primetime games. So the years on the Cardinals this year, 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:02.080 including the game home against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. Least, 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.520 we think it's gonna be Aaron Rodgers Thursday Night Football. 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.880 But it all begins that second set of four, the 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.880 Niners at home and at Cleveland against Houston. Just tell 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:14.080 me about that Niners matchup and the difference between maybe 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:18.280 going against the Jimmy g or the rookie Trey Lance perhaps, Yeah, 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:22.440 which one that would be? Week five? Week five? Yep, 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.480 right there, man, you know, I think it's gonna be 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:29.520 Jimmy Garoppolo. Uh, you know, let the young guy kind 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:31.680 of see a little bit, just like how the Chiefs 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:34.520 did with Patrick Mahones. But if it's a young guy, 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:36.880 he's definitely one of those guys who can throw, who 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:40.400 can run. He you know, puts a whole another aspect 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:42.360 to the to the forty nine ers with the QB 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:45.960 run games. You guys saw, you know last year when 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.280 they use their backups, they kind of did a little 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:51.200 bit more QB run games. So with this new with 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.520 this new QB, I definitely feel like they're gonna utilize 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:56.640 him in the run game. And he's a guy that 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.240 you know, he doesn't turn down hits, so hopefully they 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.360 they teach him that he needs to slide. But he's 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:05.640 he's a big guy, fast um can throw the ball, 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:09.080 and I'll definitely be excited to see him hopefully next year. 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:13.040 So after San Francisco at home, you travel to Cleveland. 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:17.000 All the Cleveland Browns right to add Cleveland in an 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:20.600 afternoon start. That's gonna be a four or five afternoon 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.960 start right there. Talk about Baker Mayfield. Who who would 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:27.280 you rather sick Jimmy j or Baker Mayfield? Man? Both 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:30.400 of them? Both of them. They're both purity. Yeah, they're 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.720 both secks in the in the in the books. So yeah, 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.840 Baker Mayfield, a guy who's definitely coming out of Oklahoma 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:39.600 never being a number one played, a guy who's definitely 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:43.560 has showed up and showed who Baker Mayfield can be. 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:46.720 In that last game they had last year, he was 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:50.320 throwing some dimes and um, he's a great qbad. I'm 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:52.600 definitely excited to go against him too. I've never played 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:56.040 in Cleveland, so you know, hopefully that's indoor, right, so 0:16:56.200 --> 0:17:00.560 that'll be cool. Actually it's the outdoor. Yeah, thank goodness, 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:04.760 it's mid October. I actually played there two years ninety two, 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:10.040 ninety three. Okay, but before I was born. Ye, your 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:14.760 brutal GST, I'll say wolf by saying you know what. Honestly, guys, 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:18.399 I'm surprised that they didn't put that in primetime, Baker 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:23.440 against Kyler. Yeah, Cleveland coming off a playoff against the Steelers. Honestly, 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:25.080 I was kind of surprised. I was one surprise in 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:27.280 this thing for me. And then you're gonna have Houston 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:30.399 at home, and of course you got J. J. Watt, 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:33.520 you got d Hop going against their former team. I mean, 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:35.360 how I amped up? Do you think those guys will be? Yeah, 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:38.120 those guys would definitely be amped up and excited for two. 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.560 And then of course Thursday night you have the green 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:46.439 Bay Packers at home. Oh my goodness, the the media 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:49.120 that is swirling around the green Bay Packers right now, 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:52.280 and Aaron Rodgers and whether or not Aaron Rodgers is 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:54.639 going to be the quarterback here? Would you like to 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:57.080 weigh in on that at all? So whether or not 0:17:57.200 --> 0:17:59.320 Aaron Rodgers is going to be the quarterback because I 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:02.920 think he Yeah, it's just no way. I definitely believe 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:05.040 he is as well. He's Aaron Rodgers, and he's one 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:08.600 of those guys that you just can't trade him. You 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:10.840 can't trade him. I'm sorry, you just can't do it. 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:15.720 If you know, wants to uh not be there and 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:19.680 you know, play like Adam Sandler and stop the yard, 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:22.000 then all right, maybe you might have to trade him. 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:25.159 But other than that, and then you cannot trade Aaron Rodgers. 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:28.800 That's like that's like trading uh Russell Wilson from the Seahawks, 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:31.440 which everybody knew that wasn't gonna happen. What do you 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:33.639 do to get ready for a quarterback of that caliber. 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:35.879 Does it come down what is the key? Does it 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:39.159 come down to film work? Is there something else you 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:41.480 have to match with with a guy like that who's 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:44.040 not only beating you with his rocket arm in the accuracy, 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.119 but with his mind and his experience. I mean, what 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:48.280 do you do going against a guy like that? Yeah, 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.800 you gotta watch a lot of film you know. Our 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.280 second year we actually played him and with Steve Wilkes 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:56.879 over in Green Yes, Yeah, that was cold game. We 0:18:57.200 --> 0:19:00.879 got that w so um with Aaron Rodgers. You definitely 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:04.520 have to watch a lot of film. Um during the game, 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:06.680 you got to try and get whatever they're trying to do. 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.480 It's it's a matchup league. They're gonna try and you know, 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:12.320 see whatever matchup that we have that they have and 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:16.600 displayed that matchup, so you know, whatever that is, they're 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:19.720 usually gonna find it within the first fifteen plays and 0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:22.399 then you go from there. Hey, the best seats the 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:25.240 best prices during the Cardinals season ticket priority list today 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:29.280 and get both at Hazy Cardinals dot com slash priority list. 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:31.560 In fact, that game was Steve Wilkes. You got Mike 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:34.159 McCarthy fired. He was fired about two hours after that, 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:36.800 Cardinals win at Green Bay. So then wolf from there. 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:39.520 Week nine at the Niners. Okay, we talked about the 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:42.800 Niners a little bit. How about Week ten home against Carolina? 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:44.280 What do you think of when you think of Carolina, 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:48.200 especially now with Sam Darnold at quarterback, Matt Rule once again, 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:51.400 your second straight you're playing in the new Carolina coach. Yeah, 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:53.639 I mean, of course you missed that game last year, 0:19:57.520 --> 0:19:59.680 FOODA last year. You don't want to see that again. 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:03.120 I'll just leave it at that. So Christian McCaffrey will 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:06.080 be back and you'll be back in that one. So okay, 0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:08.280 let's go to at Seattle. We got to save some 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:11.159 time for this anyway, because it's your hometown. Come on, now, 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:14.560 be honest. You always look for where the at Seattle 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:17.040 game is, right? Oh? Yeah, for sure. I love playing 0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:20.600 against Seattle, playing against the hometown team. Train with a 0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:23.760 lot of guys over in Seattle, so definitely love to 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:27.680 talk to them during a game. And you know, playing 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:32.520 at home against fellow fans, fellow you know, you Dub fans, 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:35.919 Bellevue High School fans, It's definitely fun to go against 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:38.880 them because you know, after the game is definitely fun 0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:44.040 getting dubs and them talking. Russell was criticizing the front 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:46.920 office a little bit and the coaching staff and talking 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:52.000 about that offensive line and maybe getting some better players 0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:54.160 in front of him to help protect him a little 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:56.280 bit more here. Do you think he's got a little 0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:59.520 bit of work to actually do inside that Seahawk locker room? 0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:03.920 Buddha man, I mean, I cannot control the Seahawk locker room, 0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:07.200 so I let the Seahawks be the Seahawks, And I 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:10.480 don't really care about them. I just, um, you know, 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:13.600 hopefully they do whatever they they gotta do. But at 0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:16.480 the end of the day, I'm a cardinal, so uh yeah, 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:21.679 So I got it. It was so weird. All twenty 0:21:21.920 --> 0:21:24.040 twenty was strange. But to be in Seattle and have 0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:25.879 no fans, I mean, I can't believe I'm about to 0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:28.960 say this. I almost missed the twelves, almost missed the twelves, 0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:32.520
